That sounds like a solid plan. Be sure to check out my [other post](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/franken-script-to-generate-nixos-options-docs-with-custom-modules/1674) where I have a vastly improved nix script for pulling the options list.  
And yeah I totally agree, FZF is such an awesome tool. Over the years I always find new uses for it; I know it’s basically just fancy AG, but the interface is just so nice 🙂
