    BTW, as an alternative to swiper, you can check out consult-line and related commands from consult.

    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.

  • LSP could have been better
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Oct 2023
    Recently I stumbled upon this issue:

    https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/1127

    I don't know enough about emacs and LSP to see the full picture, but it seems that both eglot's and corfu's maintainers, assumably very competent programmers, can't find a solution for this.

    I only skimmed the thread. My understanding is that LSP dumps a long list of completion candidates at once and they can't decide a cache strategy that works well with existing code...?

  • Spurious errors with Eglot / pylsp
    1 project | /r/emacs | 10 Jul 2023
    It could be. There are unfixed issues with eglot and corfu, and sadly not a lot of willingness to investigate.
  • Using Quarto with Emacs
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 9 Jun 2023
    Eglot errors when I add new Python code blocks. The error disappears when I reconnect the language server, but the same happens again when I add a new code block. My "workaround" now is that before I start working on the .qmd file, I just add a bunch of Python code blocks (for which I also have a function) and then reconnect the language server again. This way I can start working for a while until I need to add more code blocks again.

  • joaotavora/breadcrumb: Emacs headerline indication of where you are in a large project
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 12 May 2023
    This is not by pure chance, João is the developer of the Eglot LSP client and the breadcrumbs from LSP-mode had been requested as a feature, but as far as I remember João thought rightfully that this could be an independent package, see https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/988
  • Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 9 May 2023
    A substantial section of the community is using corfu instead of company, but I wouldn't say company is out of date by any means. In emacs 29 eglot will be a built in, which might act as a replacement for lsp-mode depending on what functionality you need.
  • Eglot upgrade strategy
    1 project | /r/emacs | 6 May 2023
    I am currently running emacs 29 (built from emacs-29 branch) which – according to https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot – should contain the latest eglot.
  • 916 Days of Emacs

    Yep. You can use flymake or flycheck for that in combination with eglot or lsp-mode.

    See https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot#diagnostics

  • Eglot, eldoc and golang
    1 project | /r/emacs | 12 Apr 2023
    (I have reported this (that is, ElDoc missing docs for callable things at point, when Eglot is enabled) as an issue recently: First on GitHub-discussions https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/1200, then on Debbugs https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=62687. But the threads are very long, so I don't recommend reading them.)
