Nix Dotfiles for Colemak-DH & Apple Layout

Before Using

• These dotfiles are designed exclusively for linux that using Nix, and under Colemak-DH keyboard layout. Package management and system configuration differ significantly from other distributions.
• sudo has been disabled and replaced by doas, witch is lighter and more secure.
• The keymap in hyprland.nix is optimized for Colemak-DH keyboard layout. To adapt for standard QWERTY layouts:
  • Although modifying the keybindings is needed, fish hotkeys were configured as normal.
  • Note that nix.configuration retains kb_layout = us, as my layout customization occurs at the hardware level, not in software configuration.

Note

This setup uses Dae & Daed proxy. If you don't need the eBPF core feature or related options, you can safely ignore them. They're imported in ./flake.nix and ./imports/services.nix
