Add an option for automatically running SuperDirt for the duration that the `devShell` is active #8

Open mitchmindtree opened 2 years ago

See the forum discussion on options for how to approach this here:

An alternative might be to run superdirt automatically using the editor plugin, similarly to how the ghci interpreter is run automatically. Should solve #2 first to ensure that supercollider can be configured as needed from nix.

The Vim plugin approach is supported as of https://github.com/mitchmindtree/tidalcycles.nix/pull/12. Will leave this open as it might still be worth considering the devShell approach, even if only as an option.
