An Emacs major mode for editing Nix expressions, powered by the new built-in tree-sitter support in Emacs 29 and the community-maintained [[https://github.com/nix-community/tree-sitter-nix][Nix tree-sitter grammar]].

** Usage

~nix-ts-mode~ only provides syntax highlighting for now, but will eventually support other tree-sitter powered features such as sexp-movement and smart indenting. After installing, enable the mode for Nix files like so:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (require 'nix-ts-mode) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\.nix\'" . nix-ts-mode)) #+END_SRC

Or with ~use-package~:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (use-package nix-ts-mode :mode "\.nix\'") #+END_SRC
