  • lsp-keymap-prefix not working
    1 project | /r/emacs | 22 Mar 2023
    I also tried to the solutions suggested ![here](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/issues/1532) and ![here](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/issues/1672), but nothing worked. I moved the (setq lsp-keymap-...) line outside (and before) use-package. I also used :config (define-key lsp-load-map...) in my use-package block. But none of them worked.
  • Help getting the yaml language server working with eglot
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 21 Mar 2023
    Not sure how much this might help, but lsp-mode has lsp-yaml-select-buffer-schema and lsp-yaml-set-buffer-schema commands to pick schema from a list or set from a URI. Checking the source of them might give some hints about how the same could be implemented in eglot?
  • What LaTeX setup do you use?

    Beyond that you might as well embrace the suck and install autex with a language server: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/
  • Emacs bankruptcy
    17 projects | /r/emacs | 3 Mar 2023
    Smart completion these days is done primarily through LSP. eglot is fairly minimal but built-in as of 29, also available via GNU Elpa. lsp-mode is another option with more integrations and a bit more fleshed out.

  • Setting up a fundraiser for multi-threaded Emacs, any thoughts on this?
    7 projects | /r/emacs | 4 Feb 2023
    Are you running emacs-29? It has numerous speed-ups compared to emacs-28 and older versions, many of them coded by Mattias Engdegård, e.g. commit def6fa4246. I have a fresh build of emacs-29 running on Linux and a new mac with an M1 CPU, and it's stupid fast. I don't use the native-comp feature. I rarely notice any hesitation or slowness. I don't use Elpy. I do use lsp mode.
  • Newbie here! Need Help!

    Since you are doing code development, the first things to go for would be setting up your emacs packaging (installing use-package and melpa (use-package's documentation covers this) so you have more packages to choose from (do be careful to not just pick things willy nilly but research them a bit first)) and then setting up lsp-mode. lsp-mode lets you use LSP servers for the specific programming languages you work with in a somewhat unified fashion. You then need to install and setup the LSP servers for the languages you use, and possibly install language specific Emacs packages as support (note, Emacs has builtin functionality for many).
  • Emacs 29: Install Tree-Sitter parser modules with a minor mode
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 26 Dec 2022
    And first of all, I'm trying to understand, how is it connected to https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode? I'm sure, that existed lsp implementations already parse source code. Why TreeSitter?
