Oh, by the way, is the padding issue due to the window size? When I run on tiling compositors, the full window is uneven with respect to character width so there’s space on the bottom and side. I’m not sure if there’s a way to fix it running in the terminal other than resizing so it’s even. Don’t know if you’re tiling or not.
Nixvim is great too. Nixneovim was originally forked from it, apparently. And now that I’ve been thinking about it, I’m pretty sure the reason I ended up using nixneovim was indeed the way it handles direct vim options, and maybe less need for extraConfig? I’ve slowly been configuring more as well and didn’t want to be confused learning vim config and having to figure out how to convey that in nix.
So that’s a thought if you find yourself having the same trouble! It’s not just a lot of config, but layers and layers and layers lol. Looking at you, lua in string literals.
Why-depends can help you out. https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-why-depends.html
I don’t remember if you can use it directly on a derivation or not, so you might have to track down the relevant package.
Edit: forgot to mention you can give it /run/current-system for the first argument to only see what’s currently loaded from the store.
Oh, for sure. It’s really just preference that I like it. Really great to have options, though.
