dumb-jump VS nano-emacs

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.

Both points resonate with me, but I'd push back againt the idea that colored syntax highlighting is neccessary for either. I'm thinking of the Pygments 'bw' theme[1], which denotes strings in italics, and nano-emacs[2], which also manages to do.. a lot with a little (at least aesthetically, ie. idk about code volume or corner cases).

It's not adhd specific but https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.06030

After reading this I implemented a code theme based primarily around typographic variation like weight rather than color. It uses only two colors (black and deep purple) in two weights and one italic each. I have pretty severe adhd and it's hard to judge but after using it for a few months I think this is better for me. Previously I had been using solarized light for nearly a decade for probably similar reasons.

Nano emacs was created by the author of that paper and its default themes are based on it, if you want to try it without committing to hand-rolling a theme. Personally I found that one too "light" (typographically, not color) but I also have relatively poor vision and like a large and heavy font.

I love the nano themes from N. Rougier, maybe not what you are looking for... (I am not a coder), works best with the whole nano layout

there is issue on github related to this: https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs/issues/138

Emacs with https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs

Hi fellow r/emacs ers, I am struggling to reduce the size of the fonts my configuration. I have based it on nano-emacs, I am using the variable nano-font-size but the font size does not change.

I've been using Nano (and before that Elegant) which substitutes a headline for the modeline. Unless you're in the mood to try something radical, I'm not sure that I'd recommend it. That said, what I've learned from the experience is that you don't need much in the modeline for it to be useful. I've done some customizations on Nano and am satisfied with:

I get an error message that I do not understand, when trying to apply nano-emacs from u/Nicolas-Rougier in my vanilla emacs

Has anyone managed to get this view for spacemacs? Link
