    Both points resonate with me, but I'd push back againt the idea that colored syntax highlighting is neccessary for either. I'm thinking of the Pygments 'bw' theme[1], which denotes strings in italics, and nano-emacs[2], which also manages to do.. a lot with a little (at least aesthetically, ie. idk about code volume or corner cases).

    It's not adhd specific but https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.06030

    After reading this I implemented a code theme based primarily around typographic variation like weight rather than color. It uses only two colors (black and deep purple) in two weights and one italic each. I have pretty severe adhd and it's hard to judge but after using it for a few months I think this is better for me. Previously I had been using solarized light for nearly a decade for probably similar reasons.

    Nano emacs was created by the author of that paper and its default themes are based on it, if you want to try it without committing to hand-rolling a theme. Personally I found that one too "light" (typographically, not color) but I also have relatively poor vision and like a large and heavy font.

  • A less verbose OR more organized modeline
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 17 May 2023
    I've been using Nano (and before that Elegant) which substitutes a headline for the modeline. Unless you're in the mood to try something radical, I'm not sure that I'd recommend it. That said, what I've learned from the experience is that you don't need much in the modeline for it to be useful. I've done some customizations on Nano and am satisfied with:
