Vim user here, what is that? Like a konami code?

Install comma, and run commands without installing

NixOS user here. This doesn’t come out of the box, but I append a comma before the command I want to run without installing, I can run the command without installing.

Yes it’s technically downloaded (if not cached there already) in the nix store, but this is (optionally automatically) cleaned up regularly, for store items that doesn’t have a generation (profile, think version of your configuration) that depends on it.

Out the box, you can run a command that opens a shell up with the packages you specify, but comma uses a database to know the executeable names for packages (you get to pick if multiple matches), similar to the command not found function in other distros.

Sorry for hijacking your comment, just wanted to say something cool about a cool distro, which isn’t suitable for everyone, but I hope that can improve in the future because nixos is niceos

This exact thing just happened to me. It wasn’t just me, it was the whole team.

I’ll see how it goes
