- Seems like "Save Changes" setting on iTerm2 > Settings > General > Preferences is not configurable via `defaults` (see [this commit](https://github.com/izzygomez/dotfiles/commit/1407f3b27a351d58c169057d94a67605bab54878) for usage example), so TODO here is to set value of this setting to "Automatically" via some other method; for the moment, am doing this via an `echo` statement in `zshrc_macos`.
- This README is a bit bulky & verbose, consider editing it down to something more streamlined [like this](https://github.com/denolfe/dotfiles/blob/9bb9957a0055cce71071f5c0ad5d050d95f2c255/README.md).
- Address all TODOs littered throughout code. Consider using LLM to enumerate.
- Figure out how to add em-dashes when typing in Emacs. Some leads here: [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/lp85tx/this_might_sound_stupid_but_how_do_i_go_about/), [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5eb1ay/replacing_2_x_hyphen_with_ndash/), [3](https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/typoel).
- Consider adding [`zsh-completions`](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions?tab=readme-ov-file) package. For context, tried adding it while setting up [`ngrok completion`](https://ngrok.com/docs/agent/cli/#ngrok-completion) stuff in `.zshrc`, but I found out that the ordering of initializing `zsh-completions` & `ngrok` mattered, & I'd need to refactor dotfiles to get this working. Also, per `zsh-completions` README, it is also worth considering installing via something like `antigen` instead of, say, `brew` so that it can be setup on any OS.
- `rectangle.config.json` is not automatically updated if settings are changed, need to manually export. Fix this. Might require upgrading to [pro version](https://rectangleapp.com/pro).
