  • Some icons are shown and some aren't
    1 project | /r/emacs | 7 Dec 2023
    Thanks so much for your help, but I've already tried that :( I installed manually downloading it from https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el and used the fc-cache -f -v . For some reason the M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts not work for me, since it's not shown the all-the-icons-install-fonts after M-x and package-install

  • Package to display org headings spatially?
    7 projects | /r/orgmode | 30 Dec 2022
    Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.

  • all-the-icons Stopped Working on WSL2 with Doom Emacs
    1 project | /r/emacs | 21 Jul 2022
    I tried some of the troubleshooting steps on https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el but those instructions seem to address issues with individual icons. I can't see any icons.

  • Cannot install all-the-icons package on Ubuntu 20.04 with Emacs 27.2
    1 project | /r/DoomEmacs | 12 Oct 2021
    I found what I believe is the fonts repo here but I'm not sure where to put the resources while this issue gets fixed. I see that it's a constant that reappears quite often.

    In the meantime, you can get the missing definitions using this config: https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el/issues/220#issuecomment-750989401
  • Good font for WSL/vcxsrv and Spacemacs?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Feb 2021
    Works perfectly fine and looks good to me. Additionally, I also have the all-the-icons fonts to support doom-modeline.

  • Emacs 29.1 Released
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Jul 2023
    Emacs has code peek.

    With lsp-mode it has that little window: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-ui/#lsp-ui-peek

    Personally I use eglot with consult which temporarily switches the entire buffer to do the "peek" functionality rather than popping up a tiny window: https://github.com/minad/consult

  • Highlight multiple lines in consult-line
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 15 Jun 2023
    Thanks for working on this! I just added a consult--maybe-recenter function in a recent commit. This is a nice idea since it can reduce the jumpiness of Consult preview quite a bit.
  • Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 9 May 2023
    An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.
  • What's that email client doing here?
    10 projects | /r/emacs | 5 May 2023
    For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).

  • Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 23 Apr 2023
    Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

    If you like meow-visit also try imenu it is built into Emacs and can be very useful either by itself or as part of consult. consult also has a consult-mark function that can be helpful, meow kind of breaks it since it makes a lot of marks.
