ripgrep will not look in any predetermined directory for a config
file automatically. Instead, we need to set the RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable to the file path of our config file.
Drop fnm and switch to pnpm for installing npm packages as well as
managing node versions.
Not using npm i -g has the added nicety of not having a node_modules
in /usr/lib.
While starting the tmux sessions from fish worked some environment
variables were not getting picked up in tmux session.
For example DISPLAY is set after we log in and the graphical sway
session starts but since tmux sessions were started before that it
would be absent from the tmux session. We may be wrong about the
exact order and reasoning for this but atleast that is the observed
behaviour.
Fix this by defining a sway session target and making the tmux session
service dependent on it.
From the twitter discussion with fnm author, shell inference seems to be
slow. Passing the shell to use manually seems to speed this up.
fnm env --log-level=quiet | source

fnm env --shell=fish --log-level=quiet | source

- Drop starship. This also helps us to get rid of ttf-font-nerd install
which is a dependency of starship.
- Source fnm env only once on login. This makes fish shell/terminal load
much much faster. Add an alias to invoke fnm use easily.
- Set path or environment variables only when required path or binary
exists.
- Introduce a function to profile fish easily.
- Borrow the fish prompt logic from Alexis King's configuration.
- Factor out key binding related settings.
- Make su launch fish.
