  • Less Miserable Bindings for QWERTZ?
    1 project | /r/stumpwm | 16 Nov 2022
    I bit the bullet and moved my mappings around. This is wholey unrelated, but do you know if stumpwm allows you to set the split size in dynamic groups? Like in dwm you can set the master window to be 50% of the screen with clients being the other 50%. So far in stumpwm I cannot find how and it seems hardcoded to 55%.
  • Does StumpWM Have Smart Borders Or A Way to Disable Borders All Together?
    1 project | /r/stumpwm | 12 Nov 2022
    I am trying to get stumpwm feeling a little bit more like an integrated environment visually. Currently I am attempting to fix two problems that would create that integrated feeling. The first one is adding smart border functionality. Basically smart borders are is when only one window is open no border is shown, but if more than one window is open a border is drawn. I tried researching this, but I can not find anything. I am also wanting to try disabling borders all together. I have never done this before so I have no idea if I would like it. I made the proper changes to my configuration to remove any border and ignore size hints, but I still have that stupid padding around terminals. Does anyone know how to disable those?
  • Turning Linux Into a Usable Lispy Machine?
    9 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 25 Oct 2022
    I have been doing research trying to figure out what software in my current toolchain has a Lisp, specifically Common Lisp, alternative. Having looked around I have been able to find a few thing.
  • How Do You Setup Workspaces Properly?
    2 projects | /r/stumpwm | 19 Oct 2022
    I am trying to setup my workspaces for stumpwm, but am running into a wall due to not being able to find much documentation, is there is even support, for a few things I want to do. For some background, I am coming from dwm which I have used for a few years and even forked a few times. In dwm I had a rather simple, but extremely useful, setup where I would store specific types of programs on specific tags. I was able to figure out getting this done in stumpwm and it working just fine. The main issue with this portion of my workspace setup is that the Default workspace still exists. I have tried to figure out how to delete it, but cannot. I know how to rename it, so I could just do that and use it for my terminals, but the issue arises where I have no idea how to change it from the default stacking layout to the dynamic one. Any advice? Additionally, is there a way to get something like dwm's fakefullscreen?
  • How Do I Unbind all Default Bindings and Bind Keys With Shift?

    My brain hurts, I did this and now it just works.
  • Terminal Emulators Written in Common Lisp?
    2 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 17 Oct 2022
    I am working on rebuilding my software toolchain around Common Lisp, because it is amazing. I have already started moving to sbcl from zsh, thanks to help from this subreddit and a friend, as well as moving away from my dwm fork to stumpwm. I am looking at what programs I have left to find replacements for and I know I am moving to either lem or gnu emacs, hopefully lem, from nvim and nyxt from firefox, but there are three programs I cannot find CL replacements for, my terminal, screen locker, and dynamic menu. The last two will be a pain, I know, but with the terminal I was shocked to see little to nothing online. I was able to find CLIM implementations of terminal emulators, but the one I found which I lost the link to is built into a desktop environment; I also don't know if it would run under X11 or Wayland. I was curious if there was someone here who would know of a terminal emulator that was written in CL? It doesn't need to be fancy, in fact the less fancy the better. I am just trying to figure out if I refork st or if there is a CL terminal I can use.
  • How Would One Bind Prefix + Key + Key?
    2 projects | /r/stumpwm | 17 Oct 2022
    I am unsure if you have interest, but is the final working product :D Thank you again! https://gitlab.com/FOSSilized_Daemon/dotfiles/-/blob/main/src/dotfiles/home/.library/generic/common-lisp/stumpwm/common-lisp/key-binding.lisp
  • How to Build a Proper Loading Order From ASDF?
    2 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 1 Oct 2022
    I am unsure if this would have any impact, but I am making some changes (as well as this) to sbcl; none that should cause this though.
  • Is There Any Method For Checking If REPL Is Running As a Login Shell?
    5 projects | /r/Common_Lisp | 28 Sep 2022
    An update to my other comment. I can confirm that the issues I am having are due to cl-repl. I took my exact configuration, commented out the first line of my replrc.lisp, hardcoded a require for asdf, using find-package always returns nil for some reason with asdf I don't know why, and then symlinked the file to ~/.sbclrc and everything loaded fine and ran fine. I am unsure what is up with cl-repl. I think I would rather use sbcl anyway, but I just need to figure out tab-completion, sytan highlighting if possible, and then determine how to check if asdf is installed to load it (I know I can always require it, but I want to proof this configuration in case I use it on a repl that does not autoload asdf).
  • Trying to Understand Strings in Common Lisp
    1 project | /r/Common_Lisp | 26 Sep 2022
    Porting my shell configuration to cl-repl in order to help me learn common lisp. So I have my asdf system being loaded in my .replrc and I know things are being loaded there just not this code for some reason. If it helps the code is here.

  • Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Nov 2023
    2 stripe blue belt here! I used to use Vim for everything other than Java development and have now adopted Emacs in the same way. I am using it for Clojure and Common Lisp development along with org mode, irc, rss, git and file management

    I started with Evil mode and then moved to Xah fly keys before sticking to the emacs bindings. Having the caps lock key bound to CTRL helped me a lot. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference for Emacs but using the DVORAK layout has helped my fingers

    There are other bindings you can try like Meow or God mode but I don't know what the adoption rate is like for them. Emacs gives you the flexibility to set it up as you please. As others have mentioned, there may be other keyboard options that might be more helpful as well

  • Emacs Is My New Window Manager
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Aug 2023
    If you already know Vim, you should probably not use Emacs without Evil:

    https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

    It gives you comprehensive Vim bindings so what you need to learn to be comfortable in Emacs is very little. As a bonus, it also keeps your RSI risk unchanged.

    Emacs is a text ecosystem. And it's trivial to add these shortcuts. Evil[0] basically rewires everything to be Vim.

  • Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
    14 projects | /r/orgmode | 29 May 2023
    I would *highly* recommend using vim keybindings if you're just getting into it (Doom or just evil). I switched from vim to emacs and tried to rough it with the default keybindings thinking that otherwise I wasn't /really/ using emacs, but I was wrong! I've been using org-mode/emacs for ~2 years now and I've slowly been migrating everything into it as I find useful tools/modes/etc (and now thanks to u/ilemming I have ~12 more to experiment with 😂)
  • Switching from Emacs. My experience
    20 projects | /r/neovim | 24 May 2023
    Despite using Emacs as my main editor, I was extremely familiar with Vim since I also used it frequently, and was able to use it quite well, especially because I also used [evil](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil) in Emacs since Emacs's native keybindings are uncomfortable to use. I never used Vim as my primary editor though because it was cumbersome to configure. As many people say, Vimscript just feels wrong, so I gave up on trying to customize Vim.

    doom is a set of configuration files (to put it lightly 😅) for emacs, a text editor with really really powerful configuration abilities -- your "config files" are actually code in a full-fledged programming language, so people have done things like built package managers in it, or written full emulators for other text editors
