The CudaText module now supports mutable configuration through 'programs.cudatext.mutableSettings'. When enabled, Home Manager merges declared user settings, hotkeys and lexer settings into writable files during activation. Declared values take precedence, while other settings are preserved. Removing a declaration does not remove its saved value. Comments and formatting are not preserved. This option defaults to false, so configuration remains read-only unless you opt in. #NixOS #Nix #HomeManager
