Set Default Browser

To set the default browser on macOS and Linux use the following:

# Enable and configure the default browser
programs.default-browser = {
    enable = true;
    browser = "firefox"; # Or any other browser name
};

ndcli - cli tool for Dim

Darwin

Hyperkey

hyperkey is a simple service that maps caps-lock to cmd+opt+ctrl or optionally cmd+opt+ctrl+shift. Simply enable it using the following snippet inside your configuration.nix:

services.hyperkey = {
    enable = true;
    normalQuickPress = true; # Quick press of Caps Lock to toggle it
    includeShift = false; # Hyper key will be Cmd+Ctrl+Opt (without Shift)
};

On first start it will ask for accessibility permission. Afterward you may need to restart the service by running killall hyperkey for the permissions to take effect.

Custom Icons

You can configure custom icons on macOS using the following snippet:

 environment.customIcons = {
    enable = true;
    icons = [
      {
        path = "/Applications/Notion.app";
        icon = ./icons/notion.icns;
      }
    ];
  };
