Create a directory-category for terminal emulators #101894
Conversation
This is a mostly cosmetical commit, in the sense it doesn't change the contents of any package, but reorganizes the overall Nixpkgs expressions. Terminal emulators are an ubiquitous tool for any Unix user; even the beginners are routinely familiarized to it. And, manifestly, there are many implementations of terminal emulators out there, from those traditionally made in C and C++ to those written in Haskell and Go. Terminal emulators deserve more highlight. This commit does that by creating a category for them.

The only errors(?) found here are trailing whitespaces. This implies everything is OK, the expressions weren't affected by its relocation. So, I will add a new commit only for this small fix. |

Should they also be grouped together in |
|
@berbiche you said in a sense they are all grouped in a contiguous place? Well, it is a bit controversial. The "ordered all-packages.nix" was lost a long time ago. It can certainly be done, but I am being more conservative here: I just get all references to terminal emulators and moved them. |

Some maintainers are still adhering to the "ordered all-packages.nix" (which happened to one of my contribution listed here 😄) and thus I bringing up the subject. |

@berbiche behold! |

This pull request has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/a-directory-category-for-terminal-emulators/9698/1 |
Because editorconfig complains, and also why not to organize them "ascii-betically"?

I am now working on reorder this file. As I said before, it is a beautiful mess, and I will "fix" it. |
