    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.

    The performance lag of Spacemacs was addressed by Doom Emacs ( https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ). Have you tried Doom Emacs by any chance. After syncing everything, the performance is stellar in my opinion.
  • Please help me in translating my vimrc to emacs equivalents.

    but I just realized, you're probably better off using doom emacs. The defaults are sane, customizations are almost always optional and the community's really active/helpful. (Disclaimer: I'm a doom emacs user with ~2k lines of config)

    While Doom is more opinionated, it's not too difficult make Emacs your own, most of the choices are optimized anyway. Currently the head of Spacemacs devs is not active on the project anymore. Also I don't think it's hard to upstream code to Doom, as long as the code is thoroughly written, take a similar example on both sides: the introduction of a completion engine as layer/module (same packages are installed): - https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/14901: 23 comments, 7 participants - https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/pull/4664: 576 comments, 20 participants
