    I maintain several useful Zsh plugins: * zsh-autocomplete lists completions as you type and adds lots of additional completion features. * zsh-edit adds various handy keyboard shortcuts and a clipboard viewer. * zsh-hist adds commands and keyboard shortcuts for you quickly fixing or deleting entries from your command history. * Z Colors uses your $LS_COLORS to automatically generate a coherent color scheme for Zsh completions and Git output.

    That will color file completions, yes, but nothing else. If you want to have colors in the rest of your completions, too, try my Z Colors plugin.

    For quick edits do use vim or nvim with no plugins and mostly stock config

    Under GDM you can use systemd environment.d(5) to configure those variables. I have some examples in my dotfiles[2]. Your Sway configuration also has to inject it's own environment variables to systemd session like is documented here[3]. Arch Linux does that in `/etc/sway/config.d/50-systemd-user.conf`[4]

    You could try to aproach it from a different angle. I have a seperate shell script that listens for volume changes and shows a popup with a new value https://github.com/artizirk/dotfiles/blob/master/.bin/volume_subscribe.sh
