editorconfig-emacs VS crux

I might be misunderstanding, but would something like EditorConfig help? I have found it does a really good job of configuring indentation behavior for projects that use EditorConfig.

For #2, I've been pretty happy with dtrt-indent (https://github.com/jscheid/dtrt-indent) for DWIM indentation bouncing between projects.

I have yet to try apheleia, but I wouldn't be surprised if just enabling apheleia, dtrt-indent, and editorconfig-mode (https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs) in prog-mode-hook just did what you wanted.

> My only complaint is that I can never get Emacs's indentation to match what Prettier wants to do, so I'll type a bunch of code, prettier-on-save, and everything gets moved around.

I had this same issue, and it was annoying enough I continued to use https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs alongside prettier.

This does create another annoyance in having to configure editorconfig for new projects instead of relying on prettier alone.

Please take a look at Editor Config. It makes handling indentation specifics easy, here a link to the Emacs package.

I am using https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs

According to the repo you should only need to enable (editorconfig-mode 1) in the init, but there's also a troubleshooting section that might help out for your specific situation. Hope that helps!

For those still on 28, crux-rename-file-and-buffer does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point. This sort of command, that no other code will rely on, was never that important to get into core, and there's some merit in making people create the commands they needed. It's not like with the additions to subr and subr-x libraries (string-replace, string-search etc), which can't come fast enough.

Use vc-rename-file or crux-rename-file-and-buffer from crux

A similar functionality is in the crux package (see crux-delete-file-and-buffer).

How about https://github.com/bbatsov/crux?

Some packages I use for more effective text editing is crux for general text editing (video on crux), paredit for lisp editing and for org-mode:

I'll go with crux. It's not all about text editing, but it's got a lot of commands in dwim-fashion.

I learned the syntax of org-mode in an hour (maybe less), It has many superiorities to markdown (see this excellent essay). Emacs is a fully-featured tool, it's a lifetime of learning, just like all extremely powerful tools, you can see the blogs of many emacs experts like Bozhidar, Protesilaos, Karl Voit (to name a few) learning new features of Emacs quite regularly.
