dotsies VS dumb-jump

OP here. The linked tweaks are straight from my config. I can try help work out why it doesn’t look the same for ya. Would need to see your elisp snippets. May be easier to discuss on GitHub. Maybe open an issue on https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies

You can also checkout https://xenodium.com and his profile: https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs

UI customizations at https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-mac.el and https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-ui.el

For some of the details you are welcome to look at and pick from my Swift/Eglot config. I use it on a daily basis and it is generally functional. Although you notice I'm not distributing it as its own package: I don't really warrant it works anywhere but my machines. ;) I also have an assortment of helpers for Xcode documents. You should also look at u/xenodium's config and other repos; I know there are some interesting SwiftUI helpers in there.

Yep. This works too. I had a similar function https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/commit/c939802f64e4d97800f350b5c88ce83e4da40bc1 but now delegating to atool instead.

The demo gif is one of the use cases. Being DWIM, there are a bunch more at https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-command and code at https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/ar/dwim-shell-command.el

Went through a similar exercise some years ago and landed on a use-package solution https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs (see init.el and early-init.el) broken down into related modules https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs/features It’s one of many ways of doing it. Held up so far.

In short, it’s a frankenstenian hack of sorts I’ll likely regret at some point, but at the moment fairly maintenance-free. If I haven’t succeeded in dissuading a peek, the code is here

I have swiftlint and swift-format https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-swift.el

TLDW It describes the dumb-jump emacs package: https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

I use lsp for C++, but for jump to definition I like dumb jump, because it works.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I have also found dumb-jump to work pretty well for Xcode projects, with no configuration.

I don't really have any trouble using Emacs on the "modern" C++ codebases that I'm working on. I've tried lsp-mode and eglot with clangd but found that really all I need is a little bit of elisp to call clang-format, dumb-jump (<https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump>) to jump to definition, and project-compile to build the project and collect warnings/errors into a buffer.

> 2. No language server (apparently it's just impossible due to the way the language works). Tbh, I'd be happy with just "Go to definition" but alas, no-can-do!

Emacs' dumb-jump appears to have some basic support for go to definition: https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump/blob/master/dumb-jump...

But out of curiosity, what is the issue from a technical point of view?

For jumping between function definitions I use dumb-jump, which usually just works. I configure dumb-jump to use ag for its searching which makes it work very quickly.

Mark ring may be what you want. If you want to jump around a code base, Dumb Jump is great: https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

dumb-jump: another tool based on ripgrep, this one defines regexes for what definitions look like in a bunch of languages. This gives you a primitive jump-to-def functionality without any setup (except installing ripgrep). The pros and cons are roughly the same as rg.el and deadgrep: you might not jump to exactly the thing you want (if there are multiple choices, you can select the definition you prefer), but it requires no setup and is pretty fast.

I recommend https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

While I have no idea about tags, I want to say that you may find something as simple as dumb-jump[1] does what you want most of the time.
