[[https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Configuration_Files][KDE configuration files]] are "INI-like" with some extra "magic" stuff built in like default values, environment dynamism, immutability... All of this is driven by a command called =kwriteconfig5=.

In [[https://github.com/kurnevsky/nixfiles/blob/master/modules/kde.nix#L94][kurnevsky/nixfiles]] there is a simple module which generates a [[id:cce/home-manager][home-manager]] "writeBoundary" entry which will invoke =kwriteconfig5= a bunch to write these INI files. This is a version of it which can be used throughout an [[id:arroyo/nixos][Arroyo NixOS]] distribution.

I'm not sure if this will work if the switch happens while KDE is running, though...

this can be invoked like so by feeding it a set shaped like =[file,[group,[key, value]]]=, it only naively stringifys values so be careful. It's also available in [[id:20221021T115008.329657][Arroyo Nix]] =lib/= as =pkgs.lib.mkKwriteConfig5=

The values here are, unfortunately, pulled out of files in [[file:~/.config][~/.config]] which have been already configured in the GUI. It's easy enough to extract them once and never have to think about tweaking it again, and you're still able to overwrite the settings, but they won't apply until next login and will be overwritten the next time the [[id:cce/home-manager][home-manager]] profile is updated.

I find it laudable but vexing when folks can use a computer with the default keyboard short cuts and "quality of life" configuration, or worse, swap between so many systems that no muscle memory is able to form. I don't have that, I want all my systems to behave similarly, and capturing my "default customizations" is a big part of the driving energy in [[id:cce/cce][The Complete Computing Environment]], to capture my defaults and give hooks and patterns for others to do the same.
|

|

It is possible to generate these keyboard shortcuts tables, this is maybe too much [[id:128ab0e8-a1c7-48bf-9efe-0c23ce906a48][Hypermedia metaprogramming]] though it's quite cool to be able to embed these legibly.

Shortcuts get formatted in to Nix expressions with this awful =format= statement because the key is repeated in the value -- not sure why and I don't feel like digging in to explain it here. apply+apply-partially is fucking ugly, i'll write something better someday⋆.

It would be nice to set up a KDE + Wayland desktop with Bismuth tiling bindings "just working" and not colliding with KDE's defaults like I found in [[id:20220208T210931.535051][A report on krohnkite]].
