How do I tell helm-ag to ignore files with a particular file extension?
Helm-Ag is wonderful.
-
Helm - can it search within files?
I use https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag because searches the contents for all files in a directory. That uses ag, the siver searcher which is a variant of grep (which is a shell utility that searches file contents)

What do you miss the most from your previous editor/IDE after you moved to Emacs?
I'm not sure but maybe a tool like helm-ag or consult-ripgrep may help with this. You can interactively find lines that you need to edit, then move to edit-mode and batch rename some variables or smth.

How can I temporarily bypass helm and put free text
Oh wow wow wow! I just checked your commit on the repository. That's so amazing. I really appreciate that. And I also found a convenient donation link.

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Next you "only" have to remember (elisp) function names. "Completion UIs" like ivy/counsel, icomplete, helm or vertico/consult, give you a nice auto completion list on M-x (choose the one of them, you like the most). Some of those Completion UIs will display existing keybindings and a short documentation for commands, near the auto complete candidates. So you will start to remember more keybindings without "learning sessions", just because invoking functions via keybindings is much faster (more convenient).

org-SUPER-sparse-tree?
I use imenu, and helm-imenu to filter out the list interactively. Instead of scrolling through, you "jump" to an item via completion like helm-imenu, which filters all headings interactively in real-time as you type.

Is There A Buffer Package Like Vertico Pos-Frame That Makes A Rectangle Frame In The Middle For Dired Mode?
I personally use Helm, so I can manage all files (open, delete, copy, rename, etc) all from completing prompt directly, I don't need to open Dired for that.

What are the benefits of Vertico over Helm or Ivy?
Helm 1.2 release was in September 2011: https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/releases/tag/v1.2

(require 'ffap) after bug fix #2574 in helm-lib.el?
I updated helm recently and when trying to use it after startup I was hitting "Defining as dynamic an already lexical var" . debugger showed me it was due to `ffap-machine-p-local` not being defined yet, digging into helm-lib.el i found that it is due to the ffap let bindings added recently to `helm-guess-filename-at-point` - the first one was to address this issue https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/2574 and more recently two more ffaps were let bound. I can fix by adding `(require 'ffap)` in the helm `use-package` `:config` -- wondering if this is the recommended way or if it might be something worth living inside helm-lib.el near the top where it requires cl-lib already?
