Editors & terminal¶

Reviewed against 92e8426, 2026-10-17. Files: dot_config/nvim/**, dot_config/ghostty/config, dot_claude/**, .chezmoitemplates/zed-settings.json (rendered to ~/.config/zed/settings.json and, on Windows, ~/AppData/Roaming/Zed/settings.json).

Neovim¶

Kickstart-style lazy.nvim config. Requires Neovim 0.11+: lsp.lua uses vim.lsp.config() and mason-lspconfig v2's auto-enable, and treesitter.lua targets nvim-treesitter's main branch. Distro packages older than that fail on start (G-02).

Options (lua/options.lua): line numbers + relative, cursorline, sign column always, scrolloff 8, no wrap, truecolor, dark background, 4-space soft tabs with smart indent, ignorecase + smartcase, no hlsearch, splits open right/below, persistent undo, no swap or backup, updatetime 50, timeoutlen 300, mouse on, system clipboard (unnamedplus), confirm on quit, visible whitespace (», ·, ␣).

Keymaps (lua/keymaps.lua, leader = Space):

Keys	Action
`<Esc>`	clear search highlight
`<leader>w` / `<leader>q`	save / quit
`<C-h>` `<C-l>`	window left / right
`<C-j>` `<C-k>`	window down / up
`]q` `[q`	quickfix next / previous
`J` / `K` (visual)	move selection down / up
`<C-d>` `<C-u>` `n` `N`	keep cursor centred
`<leader>p` (visual)	paste without yanking
`<leader>y` / `<leader>Y`	yank to system clipboard
`<S-h>` / `<S-l>`	previous / next buffer
`<leader>ff` `fg` `fb` `fh` `fr` `/`	Telescope files, live grep, buffers, help, resume, in-buffer
`<leader>e`	nvim-tree toggle
`<leader>gg`	LazyGit
`gd` `gr` `K` `<leader>rn` `<leader>ca` `<leader>fm`	LSP definition, references, hover, rename, code action, format
`<C-Space>` `<CR>` `<Tab>` `<S-Tab>` (insert)	completion open, confirm, next, previous

Ghostty (macOS desktop only)¶

Setting	Value
`font-family` / `font-size` / `font-thicken`	JetBrainsMono Nerd Font / 14 / true
`theme`	Catppuccin Mocha, opacity 1.0
Window	10 px padding balanced, `window-save-state = always`, unfocused split opacity 0.7
Cursor	block, no blink
`copy-on-select`	`clipboard`
`clipboard-paste-protection`	true
`mouse-hide-while-typing`	true
`scrollback-limit`	10,000,000
`macos-option-as-alt`	true
`macos-titlebar-style`	tabs
Keybinds	`cmd+h/j/k/l` → goto split (overrides macOS Hide), `cmd+enter` → fullscreen

Shell integration left at Ghostty's auto-detect defaults.

Zed (every desktop profile)¶

Zed replaced VS Code as the GUI editor on 2026-09-22. One template, .chezmoitemplates/zed-settings.json, renders to ~/.config/zed/settings.json on macOS and Linux and to ~/AppData/Roaming/Zed/settings.json on Windows. Skipped on headless (Zed needs a GPU). Installed by the gui.Brewfile cask, the ZedIndustries.Zed winget package, and zed.dev/install.sh on Linux desktops.

Setting	Value
`base_keymap`	`VSCode`
`theme`	dark mode, Ayu Dark / Ayu Light
`icon_theme`	Colored Zed Icons Theme Dark (from the extension below)
`ui_font_size` / `buffer_font_size` / `buffer_font_family`	16 / 15 / JetBrainsMono Nerd Font
`autosave` / `format_on_save`	`on_focus_change` / `on`
`cli_default_open_behavior`	`existing_window`
`minimap.show`	`always`
`session.trust_all_worktrees`	`true`
Panels	project, outline, collaboration and git docked right; agent docked left
`agent_servers`	`claude-acp` from the registry
`auto_install_extensions`	Zed installs these itself on launch: generated list

There is no separate extension installer script any more; add a line to auto_install_extensions and push. EDITOR/VISUAL stay nvim for terminal use; git config core.editor too.

Claude Code status line (macOS + Linux)¶

dot_claude/statusline.sh → ~/.claude/statusline.sh: Catppuccin Mocha powerline segments, in order model + effort (mauve), context % (blue), 5-hour session % (teal), directory (peach) and git branch + status (yellow). Context and session turn red at 80%. Directory and git logic follow ~/.config/starship.toml. Needs bash, jq and git. No network calls.

dot_claude/modify_private_settings.json sets statusLine and env.CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=sonnet in ~/.claude/settings.json, and adds the plugins below if they're missing (a local /plugin disable is kept). Claude Code owns the rest of that file (permissions, plugins, drafts), which stays per-machine and out of this public repo. If jq is missing or the file isn't valid JSON, the script passes it through unchanged. Windows ignores .claude entirely.

Subagent routing¶

dot_claude/CLAUDE.md → ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: a task → agent/model/effort table that the main (Opus) session follows on every Agent call: Haiku for lookups, Sonnet for implementation, Opus for planning and review, Fable only when stuck. dot_claude/agents/Explore.md overrides the built-in Explore agent so code search runs on Haiku at medium effort instead of the main model. CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=sonnet catches any agent that names no model (general-purpose, workflow agents).

Plugins¶

codex@openai-codex (openai/codex-plugin-cc): /codex:review, /codex:adversarial-review and /codex:rescue run on the ChatGPT/Codex subscription, not Claude Max. Added only where codex and node are on PATH, because its hooks run node. The codex cask is in gui.Brewfile; log in once with codex login. Leave the review gate (/codex:setup --enable-review-gate) off: it can loop Claude and Codex and burn both limits.
typesafe@typesafe-ai (typesafe-ai/skills): one skill that teaches Claude the TypeSafe/Jev API for projects that call it. Code it writes needs TYPESAFE_API_KEY.
