defToggleStrutsKey not working
This should now also be fixed in HEAD: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/commit/90f4a96f933a8ecc014b6def54fb929ee9e73e49

How to check xmonad version?
If you're on NixOS then definitely look into /u/LSLeary's excellent flake! (docs)

XMonad on NixOS
Perhaps you're not aware of the module exposed by the xmonad-contrib flake? It can do most of the setup for you. See the NixOS Modules section of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/NIX.md.

Seems there was a documentation bug in that module. Does this fix help?

Mimic LeftWM's CenterdMainFluid in Xmonad?
There is X.L.CenteredIfSingle. However, it didn't land in 0.17.0, so you'll have to either wait for 0.17.1 (dropping soon, I promise!), compile xmonad from git, or just copy the file as-is (which should be doable) into your configuration.

Applying window decorations in xmonad while there is onlmore than one window
Btw there is an alternative way to implement smart bar using `AltMax` from xmonad-contrib but I'm not using it because of this [known bug](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/75).

Custom Xomobar output
Note that the linked solution is a bit buggy (see here). But regarding your question, it's as simple as it gets. You could maybe replace (getModeName <$> (XS.get :: X ModeName)) with XS.gets getModeNameand maybe defining it somewhere else (e.g. logMode :: Logger), but that's really it. You could wait for #703 to be merged (whenever that may be), or just take the code from there (PSA: still in a rough state, undocumented, and very likely will change) and roll with it: it is xmonad after all, your config is going to be compiled anyway!

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Z – Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.
