I want to second this! Especially because "\" is kinda hard to type on german
keyboards (two strokes and a weird location of both keys, ergonomically). "+"
sounds much better.
What would be nice is a "repl"-like thing where you can do this:
nix transaction
> install firefox
> uninstall chromium
> commit ## or maybe ctrl-D
[nix] transaction about to be committed... doing things now
(ofc, the `nix install firefox $sep uninstall chromium` variant should be
