CLI Editors with Distrobox? - eviltoast

How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same dotfiles in the container and dev in the container, or connect the editor to the container somehow?

My gut is saying it’s probably cleaner to set up an editor inside the container, just not sure I want to do that every time I start a project.

    In my experience, you still have your same path to your nix installed binaries in the distribox container, so you shouldnt even have to duplicate your configuration. I also dont suspect python dev to be that bad so long as you use venv or conda.
