Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
isearch-mb: A subtle modification to isearch (C-s and friends) giving it a more “normal” feel by today's standards. Basically, allows you to edit the search string while searching. Similar to ctrlf, but less invasive of a change, and arguably more robust.
-
C-s and C-r with counters
See if ctrlf is to your liking. It seems to have this feature, among others.
- Straight.el: next-gen, purely functional package manager for the Emacs hacker

Disable ivy (swiper) from binding C-n C-p?
Consider using raxod502/ctrlf instead if you won't use anything else ivy/swiper offer.
-
Buffer made up from grep results ("gather/scatter") ?
Have a look at CTRLF. When you hit "C-s" for ctrlf-forward-default (i-search). Now type what you're searching for. Then you can do "M-s o". That will open a Occur buffer with the existing search input. Not sure that you can edit in that buffer tho.
- How to cancel the I-search so that my cursor will stay on my current position
- Keybinding autocompletion / helper. Like in doom emacs.

emacs.git: New user options to move between isearch matches
CtrlF and Isearch MB also have this behavior.

How much time you need to spent with Emacs to become more productive?
I viewed Prot's video back in January on Embark, Consult, and Orderless; I found them interesting, but not really fitting into my workflow and of course, not a reason to replace Swiper. But I was not thinking about how the packages were working--something you've looked into. Reading the Selectrum page about comparisons, I think I might like CtrlF a bit better than Swiper, though I've yet to try it.

Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.
-
Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
Yes, most Nix users employ https://direnv.net or the equivalent for your IDE of choice. Emacs for instance has https://github.com/purcell/envrc which set per-buffer variables.
-
Beginner question: how do I set up virtual environments in my Python buffer?
Also take a look at the envrc package. I think it handles multiple projects better.
-
How do YOU use your PKMS?
I further make my software projects so that when I click a link I go into an environment pre-loaded with their dependencies so dropping in/out of projects is always frictionless. I do this with the reproducibility guarantees of nix, along with glue like nix-direnv and envrc-mode to direnv.

Minimal approach for python devel environment with flake
In conjunction with installing direnv on your favorite text editor, it's a very hassle free experience. Everything happens automatically. If you use Emacs, i higly recommend envrc.el
-
Nix and envrc
Direnv is installed using the nix-direnv installation instructions under "Via configuration.nix in NixOS". I read some recommendations that envrc.el is a better alternative then direnv.el, and after some testing I have to agree. (envrc-global-mode) is enabled in my config. This works perfectly with a normal emacs instance.

Emacs + emacs-direnv + Nix + vterm does not just work
I don't use flake.nix, only shell.nix, though check if the envrc package works any better for you. https://github.com/purcell/envrc
-
Wrapping gcc with libraries
As an alternative to emacs-direnv, I’d recommend the “envrc” package.
-
Eglot appreciation post
btw, my main issue regarding tramp was the fact that I didn't have my environment generated by direnv, via the https://github.com/purcell/envrc package. I use direnv almost exclusively to activate my nix-shell, so I can access the exact software dependencies required by that directory of a project.
-
Is it possible to let overlay Emacs use locally configured Agda libraries inside nix-shell?
I'm not familiar with these tools too but I highly recommend to look at https://github.com/purcell/envrc. If you are not familiar with direnv I suggest to try it with nix-shell/flakes before.
What are some alternatives?
