Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.

1. jit-spell

   1 3 47 4.7 Emacs Lisp

   Just-in-time spell checking for Emacs

   

   A clarification - I don't consider Jinx a fork of Jit-spell, otherwise I would have made this clear in the package README and the package header. There is no code shared between the two packages and the overall approach differs in the essential points (Enchant vs external process, Checking only the visible region, ...). It is true that I started Jinx because of our discussion https://github.com/astoff/jit-spell/issues/9, but this does not make Jinx a fork. Jinx is technically closer to spell-fu, which uses a similar technique, where only the visible region in the window is checked.

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. devdocs.el

   2 12 326 5.5 Emacs Lisp

   Emacs viewer for DevDocs

   

   devdocs.el: Documentation reader with quick and handy lookup commands. It is similar to the built-in Info reader, but has a different (likely larger) document coverage.

4. direnv

   3 182 13,414 7.8 Go

   unclutter your .profile

   

   buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

5. code-cells.el

   4 9 212 6.9 Emacs Lisp

   Emacs utilities for code split into cells, including Jupyter notebooks

   

   code-cells: Utilities to work with “lightweight notebooks”, that is, source code which is split into cells by special %% comments. Also allows you to transparently edit Jupyter notebook (ipynb) files.

6. buffer-env

   5 6 65 6.2 Emacs Lisp

   Buffer-local process environments for Emacs

   

   buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

7. envrc

   6 19 422 6.3 Emacs Lisp

   Emacs support for direnv which operates buffer-locally

   

   buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

8. comint-mime

   7 9 73 6.3 Emacs Lisp

   Display graphics and other MIME attachments in Emacs shells

   

   comint-mime: Adds graphical capabilities to the Python shell (matplotlib, etc.). It's extensible and can be made to work with other Comint modes.

10. isearch-mb

    8 3 35 4.1 Emacs Lisp

    

    isearch-mb: A subtle modification to isearch (C-s and friends) giving it a more “normal” feel by today's standards. Basically, allows you to edit the search string while searching. Similar to ctrlf, but less invasive of a change, and arguably more robust.

11. ctrlf

    9 11 354 0.0 Emacs Lisp

    ⌨️ Emacs finally learns how to ctrl+F.

12. jinx

    10 16 514 8.4 Emacs Lisp

    🪄 Enchanted Spell Checker (by minad)

    

    jit-spell: Alternative to Flyspell which operates asynchronously and checks the entire screen (not just words you just typed). Similar to u/minad's jinx (which is in fact a fork of jit-spell); jinx runs the spell-checker synchronously inside Emacs via a C module, while jit-spell uses an asynchronous subprocess.

13. drepl

    11 1 26 7.8 Emacs Lisp

    REPL protocol for the dumb terminal

    

    dREPL: An attempt, rather experimental at this point, to improve deficiencies of the Python shell such as limited completion and lack of multi-line input editing. It's actually a REPL protocol geared towards dumb terminals (which is what Emacs looks like from the perspective of its subprocesses), so it's actually not limited to Python and can be used to create other fully-featured shells.

14. unicode-math-input.el

    12 1 12 10.0 Emacs Lisp

    Insert Unicode math symbols in Emacs

    

    unicode-math-input: Input method like the built-in TeX, but with complete coverage of Unicode math symbols.

15. plz-see.el

    13 1 26 6.0 Emacs Lisp

    Interactive HTTP client for Emacs

    

    plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

16. restclient.el

    14 24 1,977 0.0 Emacs Lisp

    Discontinued HTTP REST client tool for emacs

    plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

17. verb

    15 16 601 8.8 Emacs Lisp

    HTTP client for Emacs

    

    plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

18. consult

    16 93 1,371 9.4 Emacs Lisp

    :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read

    

    BTW, as an alternative to swiper, you can check out consult-line and related commands from consult.
