  • Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
    10 projects | /r/emacs | 11 Dec 2023
    For example, I don't know what "vertico, consult, embark, marginalia, and orderless" is exactly, they're not part of my setup and I guess I don't want them to interfere with it.
  • A less verbose OR more organized modeline
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 17 May 2023
    You can find further optimizations on https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org when searching for "mode-line".
  • org-agenda - can you log item creation events?
    2 projects | /r/orgmode | 13 May 2023
    You're looking for org-expiry and its (org-expiry-insinuate) as you can see in my config: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org
  • My emacs config, with README.org index generated from init.el

    You don't have to repeat yourself; it is more about how you write. Literate programming lets you mix different languages as well as text and the code. Check for example Karl Voits. The only remark I can make is that some defvars don't need the comments, since they are written as self-documenting code. For example, 'large-file-warning-threshold' certainly does not need a comment which basically repeats what the name says, but that is not so unusual to see even amongst programmers sometimes.
  • Too many keybindings
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 7 Mar 2023
    For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org
  • "Non-ASCII string must be encoded in advance" when tying to mark a region with non ASCII character(s)

    The same configuration using Emacs 27.1 also does not have this weird behavior.
  • Does anybody have issues with AutoKey (GNU/Linux) with GNU/Emacs?
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 25 Jan 2023
    Maybe somebody has an idea what I might change in my large setup in order to get rid of this issue ...
  • Manage mentions of people with org-mode
    1 project | /r/orgmode | 16 Oct 2022
    For linking to contacts, I started to use a custom link contact: which I don't use any more since I've found org-super-links which enables me to link to any heading quite fine including contacts.
  • orgmode and everything else
    3 projects | /r/orgmode | 16 Oct 2022
    My personal notes on any task or project are way more verbose than the information curated in shared business environments. I therefore invest work and keep a local Orgdown structure and sync a subset of information manually. I define custom links to Jira, emails, and all other external sources to keep links from my Orgdown files to everything else. This way, my only truth is within my personal knowledge management which simplifies search.
  • Does Org-mode discourage subfolders in org-directory?
    2 projects | /r/orgmode | 16 Oct 2022
    My personal approach is a static list of Orgdown files within a single directory (with very few exceptions) and a manually curated list of agenda files.

    Sounds like what you want is emacs, but preconfigured. In that case, have you tried Doom Emacs, Spacemacs or any of the myriad of others like those?

  • Emacs for Professionals

    The performance lag of Spacemacs was addressed by Doom Emacs ( https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ). Have you tried Doom Emacs by any chance. After syncing everything, the performance is stellar in my opinion.
  • Please help me in translating my vimrc to emacs equivalents.
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 27 Apr 2022
    but I just realized, you're probably better off using doom emacs. The defaults are sane, customizations are almost always optional and the community's really active/helpful. (Disclaimer: I'm a doom emacs user with ~2k lines of config)
  • Just discovered emacs as a long term vim user and it's incredible
    13 projects | /r/vim | 26 Apr 2022
    While Doom is more opinionated, it's not too difficult make Emacs your own, most of the choices are optimized anyway. Currently the head of Spacemacs devs is not active on the project anymore. Also I don't think it's hard to upstream code to Doom, as long as the code is thoroughly written, take a similar example on both sides: the introduction of a completion engine as layer/module (same packages are installed): - https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/14901: 23 comments, 7 participants - https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/pull/4664: 576 comments, 20 participants

  • Should I learn vim in 2022?
    1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 24 Apr 2022
    Nowadays, I use https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs with WSL2 but only for org-mode. For code, I have either Sublime Text or VS Code.
