+Selecting **nvim** offers to install the [LazyVim](https://www.lazyvim.org/) starter config to `~/.config/nvim`, turning Neovim into a preconfigured IDE. Plugins sync on first launch and persist in the `squarebox-home` volume. A Nerd Font in your terminal is recommended for icons; the starter is skipped if `~/.config/nvim` already exists, so your own config is never overwritten.

 - **Atuin** — replace basic bash history with full-text search, sync, and stats across sessions.
 - **Host theme transparency** — configure tools (fzf, eza, starship, tmux, zellij) to use ANSI colour references so they inherit the host terminal's theme; provide sensible defaults for tools with their own named themes (bat, delta) with easy overrides.
-- **Neovim defaults from omarchy** — cherry-pick the omarchy neovim configuration so nvim works well out of the box when selected during setup.
 - **Dotfile portability** — let users mount or bootstrap their own dotfiles (starship.toml, tmux.conf, aliases, etc.) via a `~/.squarebox/` convention, with sensible merge/override behaviour against the defaults.
