doomemacs VS colorschemes

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.

There are built-in settings for this, but yeah it requires some initial fiddling to get it nice. (After that initial fiddling, I’ve been annoyed by how word wrap works in any other editor.)

your own colorscheme

Neovim uses the Vim colorschemes, which themselves seem to have undergone some improvement thanks to being updated using this tool called vim-colortemplate.

Oh right, it hasn't made it to Neovim yet, it was just merged into Vim, it's here: https://github.com/vim/colorschemes/blob/master/colors/quiet.vim

Vim recently refreshed its built-in colorschemes. This is an ongoing effort happening here: https://github.com/vim/colorschemes

With Vim 9.0 the collection of color schemes was updated and made work in many different terminals. One change was to often define the Normal highlight group to make sure the colors work well. In case you prefer the old version, you can find them here: https://github.com/vim/colorschemes/blob/master/legacy_colors/
