NixOS EXWM default config location / contents

I’m trying to find out whats included in the NixOS EXWM default config, so that I have a better starting point to build my own from. I am not sure where else to look besides the package page, and it only gives me a link to this.

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/47edaa313fc3767ce3026037a5b62352f22f3602/nixos/modules/services/x11/window-managers/exwm.nix

{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:

with lib;

let
  cfg = config.services.xserver.windowManager.exwm;
  loadScript = pkgs.writeText "emacs-exwm-load" ''
    ${cfg.loadScript}
    ${optionalString cfg.enableDefaultConfig ''
      (require 'exwm-config)
      (exwm-config-default)
    ''}
  '';
  packages = epkgs: cfg.extraPackages epkgs ++ [ epkgs.exwm ];
  exwm-emacs = pkgs.emacsWithPackages packages;
in

{
  options = {
    services.xserver.windowManager.exwm = {

Well, you literally found it: nixpkgs/exwm.nix at 47edaa313fc3767ce3026037a5b62352f22f3602 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

This calls the following exwm function, which simply applies the normal default config: exwm/exwm-config.el at e43bd782580fc7f2aa7f5f92da1c5d7c992b6d1c · ch11ng/exwm · GitHub

Oof. Thank you for the help. I guess I got stuck on the idea that it would be a part of Nix, since it was a service option, and didn’t think that it was built into EXWM.
