Browser Integration requires setgid and setuid programs, which needs to be done in the system configuration.
This is cleaner than the ad-hoc ways we have to set things up for platforms without a global configuration file.
hostNames being deprecated makes configuring hosts with multiple keys a
pain. including the attr name of the entry in the host name list is a
nice convenience though, so we'll retain it and clarify the
documentation on how the actual host name list for an entry is put
together.
zsh-autosuggestions supports having fallback strategies expressed
through the ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY array. For example,
`ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY=(history completion)`. We should also support
this.
Currently it's rather difficult to install tmux plugins. The process involves two steps:
1. Specify the correct `pkg.tmuxPlugins` package in `environment.systemPackages`
2. Adding to the configuration file to instantiate the plugin.
This commit allows the user to specify a list of plugins under `programs.tmux.plugins`.
Update nixos/modules/programs/tmux.nix

Release notes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.7
Notable (backward incompatible) changes:
- The default terminal changed from Alacritty to foot
Known issues:
- `swaynag` will crash when Sway 1.6.1 is still running while the Nix
package (and thus `swaynag`) is already updated to version 1.7.
- The experimental Ozone/Wayland support of Electron apps will be broken
for a while. Electron version 17 should work but the Chromium fixes
haven't yet been backported to Electron version 16.
NixOS module: programs.sway.extraPackages: The "alacritty" package was
replaced with "foot".
VM test: We switched from the OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer to Pixman. The
terminal was also changed to foot but Alacritty is still used for the
XWayland test (since foot doesn't support X11).

The module option type `nonEmptyStr` was introduced in commit
a3c5f0cba8
The tsm modules previously simply used
`strMatching ".+"` to prevent empty option strings,
but the new type is more thorough as
it also catches space-only strings.
Without this option `DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL` and
`DefaultSearchProviderSuggestURL` are really wastefull as it does not
set search engine, at least for me.

The programs.ssh.knownHosts.*.publicKeyFile is broken, because it's
scoped to a set of host names, but to insert those host names on each
line of the file we'd have to parse out blank lines and comments, so
only the first line works. It would be much easier all round if users
just provided known hosts files in the normal format, and we pointed
ssh directly to them. This way, it would be possible to have multiple
keys for a single host (which is extremely common due to multiple
algorithms being commonplace).
We add an option for this instead of relying on extraConfig, because
we need to make sure /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts is always included to
ensure programs.ssh.knownHosts keeps working.
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 is another OpenSSH default that seems a bit
weird, but there's no real reason to change that so we'll leave it.
link to search.nixos.org instead of pulling package metadata out of pkgs. this
lets us cache docs of a few more modules and provides easier access to package
info from the HTML manual, but makes the manpage slightly less useful since
package description are no longer rendered.
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
I had trouble getting programs.firejail.wrappedBinaries to have any effect on my
system (#152852), because I did not realise that "put[ting] the actual
application binary in the global environment" included adding the program
package to environment.systemPackages, and I thought that the package must be
present for this option to take effect. I have added a clarifying parenthetical
statement explicitly mentioning environment.systemPackages in this caveat.
Previously, this was only implicitly enabled if xserver.enable = true.
However, Wayland-based desktops do not require this, and so configuring
SSH_ASKPASS on a Wayland desktop becomes cumbersome. This simplifies
that by adding a new option that defaults to the old conditional.
easiest way to do this is to move the default expression out and
abstract over what is substituted into it, using a dependent value for
the default and a descriptive value for defaultText
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
bcc doesn't really need kernel itself, it just cares about module path.
It's actually better to use /run/booted-system/kernel-modules/lib/modules
for two reasons:
- no need to rebuild bcc for each new kernel
- can use a newer bcc with a booted kernel that doesn't match the current
system
* less: enable by default and set LESS=-R via lesskey
* since we set PAGER=less, programs.less.enable should default to
true.
* some programs, notably git, set a custom LESS environment if none is
present. using the lesskey mechanism to set LESS=-R lets such
programs continue to run less as they see fit.
This reverts commit 0e7b4e60a8.
* less: remove use of deprecated lesskey binary format
* less: enable in environment.nix rather than less.nix
per discussion in #139988
This module allows setting global configuration for htop in /etc/htoprc,
for example to disable showing userland threads by default

Apparently setting a variable via `environment.variables` when the same
is already present in `environment.sessionVariables` (that is merged
into the former option) creates a conflict.
For reference: this started with the change in #101274.
