Summary
Adds a new
zedwrapper module.This provides a Home Manager-like declarative interface for Zed without depending on Home Manager. The wrapper can generate Zed config files and symlink them into the user’s
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zeddirectory before launching Zed.Supported options include:
userSettingsforsettings.jsonuserKeymapsforkeymap.jsonuserTasksfortasks.jsonuserDebugfordebug.jsonextensions, translated intoauto_install_extensionsthemes, supporting generated JSON themes and existing theme file pathslinkConfig, to control whether generated config is symlinked on launchforceSymlinks, to opt into replacing existing user config files or symlinksDesign notes
Zed expects its configuration files in the user config directory, so this wrapper does not try to pass a custom config path to Zed. Instead, it generates the config files into the wrapper derivation using
constructFiles, then links individual files into$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zedwhen the wrapped binary starts.The default behavior is intentionally conservative: existing real files or unrelated symlinks are not overwritten unless
forceSymlinks = trueis set.Testing

I opened this as a draft because I would like feedback on the config-linking approach.
In particular, I would appreciate feedback on:
linkConfig = trueis a good default;forceSymlinkssafety behavior matches the expectations of this repository;
