    There is also org-msg as another option (haven't tried both so can't compare).

    org-msg replaces a lot of message composition behavior, so it's not a big surprise that it doesn't respect that variable. Make sure you're referencing org-msg's README while customizing it.

    Funny, just dealt with the whole O365 authentication just this week. With moving to 2 factor authentication you need to use OAuth 2 to do anything with it. I have my (work) O365 email forwarded, so I do have normal IMAP access. I use isync/mbsync [1] to receive email, goimapnotify [2] to get pushed new email, read/reply/etc with mu4e [3] and org-msg [4] and org-mode, and until recently just plain SMTP to send mail. This last part will break with 2 factor, but found oauth2ms [5] to set up the OAuth to work with O365 SMTP. The trick was to find the "tenet ID" from the Azure page of your organization and to use Thunderbird's credentials [6] (or another mail program, since I can't make new app registrations on Azure to have my own "application"). That should also allow you to use IMAP with OAuth 2 as well, but haven't done that since I still have the forwarding. (As usual, I think the Arch Wiki [7] covers most of this too.)

  • Minibuffer faces for highlighting file names in a project while de-emphasizing long directory paths?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 30 Jun 2023
    It would be great if you add your snippet to the Vertico wiki. Such tweaks can be quite instructive for others who want to achieve the same or similar effects for other completion commands.
  • Magit-branch-checkout list order
    1 project | /r/emacs | 20 Jun 2023
    If you want completion to be sorted by your "most recent" I suggest you have a look at completion libraries. One example is vertico; when you enable savehist mode, the variable magit-revision-history, containing the branches you visited is persisted between sessions and vertico use that offer completions by most-recently-used, by default.

    I think vertico is best alternative recently, really fast on Linux, macOS and Windows.

  • Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 9 May 2023
    An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.
  • Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
    5 projects | /r/emacs | 24 Apr 2023
    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).
  • Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 23 Apr 2023
    Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.
  • How to combine rtags and vertico
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 7 Apr 2023
    I thought that lsp and rtags were different tools to do different things. Regarding lsp, I configured lsp-mode in my init file indeed! Currently I'm using Vertico (plus recommended sub-packages at github repository) and lsp-mode.
