doom VS fd

Otherwise, please try out Doom Emacs :) https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/

Doom Emacs is a fantastic distribution of Emacs which makes performance improvements on vanilla emacs, probably making it faster than your own configuration. The installation process and migrating your config would be simple IMO, so you may want to give it a try... https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/

I prefer https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus which works nicely with https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

Doom emacs and Spacemacs are "emacs distributions": when installed you get an entirely pre-configured emacs with all of the nice bells and whistles already there for you. I personally started with spacemacs and then moved to my own emacs config later. One massive caveat for spacemacs is that it is highly intergrated with the "evil" package, which means it uses vim keybindings. While you can disable "evil-mode", the configuration will be greatly hindered without it.

I haven’t used Emacs in about 5 years. Had to look up Doom Emacs.

It looks nice.

It may or may not be your long-term environment but for someone looking for Vim keybinds and an easy on-ramp, you can dip your toes via doom-emacs and enable the relevant modules. I'd start with :lang javascript[1] and web with +lsp and :tools lsp[2].

I just had a very odd thing happen to me on GitHub.

I accidentally closed my browser so I reopened it with Undo Tab Close, and GitHub's tab title was labeled "Your account recovery is unable to load" for a very brief moment. Then a GitHub error site with a pink unicorn loaded. The URL which was supposed to load was https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs which I had tried to load about 15 minutes or so.

Maybe something like https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs can be a good idea if you don't want to start from scratch.

ripgrep: A super-fast file searcher. You can install it using your system's package manager (e.g., brew install ripgrep on macOS). fd: Another blazing-fast file finder. Installation instructions can be found here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

hyperfine is such a great tool that it's one of the first I reach for when doing any sort of benchmarking.

I encourage anyone who's tried hyperfine and enjoyed it to also look at sharkdp's other utilities, they're all amazing in their own right with fd[1] being the one that perhaps get the most daily use for me and has totally replaced my use of find(1).

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more.

Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardwon muscle memory still of good use. But there's sane flags and defaults too. It's faster, more colorful (if you wish), better integration with another (e.g. exa/eza or aware of git modifications). And, in my case, often features I never knew I needed (atuin sync!, ripgrep using gitignore).

AFAIK there is a find replacement with sane defaults: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd , a lot of people I know love it.

However, I already have this in my muscle memory:

fd

> without zsh globs I have to remember find syntax

My "solution" to this is using https://github.com/sharkdp/fd (even when in zsh and having glob support). I'm not sure if using a tool that's not present by default would be suitable for your use cases, but if you're considering alternate shells, I suspect you might be

Nice to see other alternatives to find. I personally use fd (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) a lot, as I find the UX much better. There is one thing that I think could be better, around the difference between "wanting to list all files that follow a certain pattern" and "wanting to find one or a few specific files". Technically, those are the same, but an issue I'll often run into is wanting to search something in dotfiles (for example the Go tools), use the unrestricted mode, and it'll find the few files I'm looking for, alongside hundreds of files coming from some cache/backup directory somewhere. This happens even more with rg, as it'll look through the files contents.

I'm not sure if this is me not using the tool how I should, me not using Linux how I should, me using the wrong tool for this job, something missing from the tool or something else entirely. I wonder if other people have this similar "double usage issue", and I'm interested in ways to avoid it.
