`cfg.interactiveShellInit` is used by modules like
`programs.zsh.oh-my-zsh`. This means that all aliases defined in
`programs.zsh.shellAliases` might be overriden which is highly
unpredictable
Originially, `programs.zsh` sets default values for some
initialisation scripts.
Nix resolves the case of multiple values by concatenating them all.
It is however impossible to predict where the default script will be
inserted; but we never want the default value to override the
user-specified ones.
Now, it doesn't set default values; almost everything is hardcoded at
the begining of the file.
Right now the `programs.zsh.syntax-highlighting.highlighters` option
lacks appropriate validation which can cause confusing things when
mistyping a higlighter for zsh-syntax-highlighting.
* programs.zsh: factor zsh-syntax-highlighting out into its own module
* programs.zsh.syntax-highlighting: add `highlighters` option
* programs.zsh: document BC break introduced by moving zsh-syntax-completion into its own module
* programs.zsh: add enableOhMyZsh option to automate setup of oh-my-zsh in global zshrc
* programs.zsh: make oh-my-zsh plugins configurable
* programs.zsh: add ohMyZshCustom option
* programs.zsh: add ohMyZshTheme option
* programs.zsh: applying minor fixes to evaluate expressions properly
* programs.zsh: fix ordering of oh-my-zsh config and execution
* programs.zsh: move all oh-my-zsh params into its own scope named programs.zsh.oh-my-zsh
The content of programs.zsh.interactiveShellInit was
inserted too soon in the generated zshrc
This caused some settings related to autocompletion to be ignored
Every interactive zsh sources /etc/zshrc (see STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES in zshautll(1))
Therefor every interactive zsh process will respect the content of these variables.
Using `export` will also lead to child processes inheriting this value.
This leads to problems, if other interactive shells are spawned such as bash,
because they use an incomptabible history format (without timestamps).
There seems to be also cases, where the local HISTSIZE in ~/.zshrc is
not sourced but /etc/zshrc, which leads to history truncation in other shells.
This reverts commit 766207ca1d.
We need to solve the problem with `environment.profileRelativeEnvVars`.
The best workaround is to make profileRelativeEnvVars prepend paths.
NixOS has a pervasive dependency on bash. For instance, the X11
session script sources /etc/profile to get a reasonable
environment. Thus we should not provide an option to disable bash.
Also, enabling zsh no longer sets ‘users.defaultUserShell’ to zsh, to
prevent a collision with bash's definition of the same
option. (Changing the default shell is also something that should be
left to the user.)
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
