The `ExecStart=` option of systemd must take arguments fully quoted.
That is,
"-sshargs=-i somekey"
and not
-ssargs="-i somekey"
Additionally, inside arguments passed to unison, `=` characters must
be quoted. After unquotation by systemd, one must have
-sshargs=-o Foo\=4
instead of
-sshargs=-o Foo=4
The apropos software is useful to get a list of manpages matching a
description or to get a list of all manpages. The latter feature is
used by Emacs to get manpage completion (`M-x man`).
To have apropos working, a database of all available manpages must be
built with mandb. This is what this commits does.

Running `zplug install` will always product output, even if there is
nothing to do.
Gating it behind a `zplug check` eliminates that output when there is
nothing to do, and is recommended in the zplug README.
Adds a new `keybindings` option to the `vscode` configuration.
It contains a list of key bindings, which will be written to
`%vscode-dir%/User/keybindings.json`.

The previous implementation would allow variables to sneak into the
file names. This commit makes sure the resulting target file path
exactly matches the expected path.
This removes the dependency on the `nixpkgs` channel within the
modules for state version ≥ 20.09. The default Nixpkgs source starting
from this state version is the path of the `pkgs` argument used to
bootstrap the Home Manager modeuls.
This is a prerequisite for using Home Manager withing Nix flakes.

Before the profile commands would not run if a single package is
installed since `buildEnv` will produce a symlink directly to that

The kakoune editor has a plugin mechanism and several plugins are
already packaged under `pkgs.kakounePlugins`. However, adding these
packages to `home.packages` is not enough: the `kakoune` package needs
to be configured with the list of plugins to include, so that they get
sourced on start-up.
We add a `programs.kakoune.plugins` option, analogous to
`programs.vim.plugins`.
The change is backwards compatible since `pkgs.kakoune` is defined as
wrapKakoune kakoune-unwrapped { };
and `wrapKakoune` defaults the list of plugins to empty.

The git-send-email [0] script uses StartTLS if `smtpEncryption` is set

Before this change,
```rust
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", glib::get_user_special_dir(glib::UserDirectory::Documents));
}
```
would return `None` even though `~/Documents` is available and
`xdg.userDirs.enable = true`. Checking the differences between
`xdg-user-dirs-update` shows that the latter has quotes around each
thing.

We were passing the separators for the `show-whitespaces` highlighter
verbatim. This was problematic in case one wanted to use, spaces,
quotes or `%` as separators since the resulting kakoune configuration
would be invalid.
According to kakoune's docs, the separator has to be one character
long, so we can use a simple rule for escaping them. It is possible
that people has been working this around by passing, e.g. `"' '"` as
separator in order to get a space (i.e., escaped explicitly by the
user), so we just let longer strings be used verbatim.

This makes the systemd module use the sd-switch application to perform
the unit switch during a generation activation.
Since the closure of sd-switch is relatively lightweight we
unconditionally pull it in as a dependency. We simultaneously remove
the `systemd.user.startServices` option and perform the switch action
automatically.

The previous fish integration for starship erroneously used parts of

Before the profile directory value would point directly to the build

Emacs populates 'exec-path' at launch from the 'PATH' environment
variable. Likewise, the emacs derivation from nixpkgs populates
'load-path' from the 'NIX_PROFILES' variable. As neither of these are
available by default in the systemd user manager, revert to the
previous behavior of launching the Emacs daemon from a login shell.

PR #1355
Add 'services.emacs.socketActivation.enable' for generating an
'emacs.socket' systemd unit.
Emacs since version 26 has supported socket activation, whereby an
external process manager such as systemd listens on a socket and passes
it to the Emacs daemon when the manager launches it. This improves
startup time of the user session and avoids launching the daemon when not
needed, for example when launching the user session via SSH.
This implementation hard-codes the socket path to the default for the
version of 'programs.emacs.finalPackage', because systemd does not
perform shell expansion in the socket unit's 'ListenStream' parameter
and it seems like an advanced use-case to change the socket path. Shell
expansion would be desirable as the socket path usually resides in
directories such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or $TMPDIR.
Tests were added to verify behavior in the following cases:
- Emacs service with socket activation disabled
- Emacs 26 with socket activation enabled
- Emacs 27 with socket activation enabled

This adds an empty `nix-build` command to verify that the user is
having a good Nix install. It also, as a side effect, will create the
necessary per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories.
Fixes#1246
Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the
benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do
not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions.
Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step
of the installation instructions.

Using this function it is possible to make `home.file` create a
symlink to a path outside the Nix store. For example, a Home Manager
configuration containing
home.file."foo".source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink ./bar;
would upon activation create a symlink `~/foo` that points to the
absolute path of the `bar` file relative the configuration file.
