homebrew-emacs-plus VS spectrwm

I am intrigued by this line in the description:

"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"

Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)

I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.

There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

Awesome! You should create a PR to add it to https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/

I use the tiling WM spectrwm. It lets me pull windows out of tiling mode and into window mode. I think a common operation on most tiling window managers. Most of the time I don't want overlapping windows(thus the tiling WM) but every once in a while I do, so the best of both worlds.

It is a bit obscure but I quite like spectrwm, it fills this sweet spot where it is much simpler than I3 but much more feature complete than DWM.

are you using spectrwm? it seems like this file comes from there, and they use it to make programs open in particular workspaces: https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm/issues/500

Spectrwm is by far the easiest WM I've tested. Also Fluxbox is pretty much straightforward.

Spectrwm is by far the most beginner-friendly WM I've ever tested. Im now running EXWM the buffers management is something else.

I'm a recent convert to i3/sway, after a solid decade using spectrwm (which has not been ported to Wayland, I'm afraid).

This is supposedly fixed in the master branch, but there has been no release in over a year - I'll just set corner and shadow excludes and sit down. I'll notice when a new release is here :)
