    [Mirror] Stepping stones to a better Emacs experience

  • prelude

    Prelude is an enhanced Emacs 25.1+ distribution that should make your experience with Emacs both more pleasant and more powerful.

  • InfluxDB

  • prelude

    Prelude is an enhanced Emacs 24.4+ distribution that should make your experience with Emacs both more pleasant and more powerful. (by viksit)

  • yes But can someone please tell me how to get typescript auto complete like vscode (eg auto import, linting) that also works for jsx. running tests. oh and simple auto complete.

    i couldn’t get that to work with

    https://github.com/viksit/prelude/blob/master/init.el

    as someone else said - need to get work done :))

  • evil-guide

    Draft of a guide for using emacs with evil

  • 2. the leader key https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide#leader-key

    these are random search results that may or may not be authoritative, but they should be a good start.

  • general.el

    More convenient key definitions in emacs

  • I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.

  • dotfiles

    My NixOS system configurations (by gekoke)

  • prelude

    My personal Emacs configuration, based on https://prelude.emacsredux.com (by fhd)

  • I used to have my own (rather extensive) config, and switched to prelude a bit more than a year ago. I think the whole key to prelude is that it promotes useful packages, with an eye on beginners. I did change a whole bunch of things, but there's less I need to get rid of in prelude (like disabling guru-mode, what you mention) than I'd have to add to vanilla Emacs, so I stuck with it. I can recommend investing some time and giving it a chance - I think most people won't be entirely happy if they don't do that.

    My additions/removals are just a few lines now and I find the whole setup a lot more maintainable than rolling my own: https://github.com/fhd/prelude/tree/personal/personal

    But yeah, all I can say is that it works for me (with a little investment), YMMV.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • tip

    Programmable tooltip that can be used with any Mac OS app

  • - Integration with other macOS apps, like Tip.app[1], so selection (region) in Emacs is recognised by macOS and sent to Tip.app as stdin

    From downsides, it won't compile with xwidgets support (webkit).
