elegant-emacs VS dotsies

Indeed!

I remember liking "elegance" at the time[0] by the same author.

If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.

I’m flattered by the attention—and I hope this ends up being genuinely useful for some people—but I would be remiss to not emphasize the tremendous work done by Nicolas P. Rougier on elegant-emacs.

Hi all, I've been working on bespoke-themes, which started out as a fork of Nicolas Rougier’s amazing work on elegant-emacs and nano-emacs. It sports a similar vibe, though some of the base colors are different and it is slightly less minimal and "opinionated" than nano-emacs. It also has the benefit of being (I hope) easily incorporated into one's existing emacs as a theme, rather than the more "distro" style of nano-emacs (which is a great project, but maybe not for everyone). I'm hoping to submit it to MELPA before too long. Long story short though, I'm looking for advice on the following:

`git pull https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs.git`, which will create a folder called elegant-emacs with the contents of the git directory wherever you call it.

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

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
