consult-project-extra VS doomemacs

consult-project, to be clear, is not a part of the consult package. project.el has had over 25 commits since consult-project last commit, which may mean it’s not up to date with the current library. Regardless, using consult and project.el commands work for me, just trying to offer alternatives.

Others have mentioned the awesome projectile, but I think it should be said that Emacs now has built in project.el which has come in leaps and bounds (though probably still lacks some projectile features).

I use project.el alongside consult[1] which has many convenient wrapper functions over built-in ones, like an enhanced `switch-to-buffer` with project support. I am actually using an even tighter integration called consult-project-extra[2].

The most advanced and overkill solution would probably be to use bufler.el[3] which basically allows you to define your custom logic for buffer grouping.

In the meantime, a small consult extension package I threw together for project jumping + project buffer+file selection is consult-jump-project (see also consult-project-extra which it was inspired by). Be sure to increase your recentf file count to something large, like 1000. These use the inbuilt project.el to determine the list of known projects.

Enrique here! The consult-project-extra package got recently accepted into MELPA. Nevertheless, expect to also find the package in GNU ELPA in the future, since it only requires packages either built into Emacs or on GNU ELPA (as is consult).

Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses.

I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom.

Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration.

Use doomemacs for a start. It really optimizes startup time and offers vast included modules as well as great package management. https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/gett...

I installed Corfu using this PR in doom https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/pull/7002

The doom documentation does a pretty good job of walking you through this: - https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org - https://noelwelsh.com/posts/doom-emacs/

I was poking around and opened up the README.org file in the Doom Emac's faust module and i saw these nifty nagivation things that weren't coming form within the file. I didn't see anything in the directory that hinted at it (to me) either.

I tried this code: $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more advanced, features more accessible. Since switching, I started to use Emacs more again.
