What have you recently *removed* from your Emacs configuration?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • vundo

    Visualize the undo tree.

  • I switched from undo-tree to vundo and am favorably impressed.

  • tabspaces

  • Probably the biggest recent difference was replacing persp-mode, eyebrowse, and projectile with the built in tab-bar and project.el. I wrote some code to link them together, and now it is its own package (https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces).

  • 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.

  • flymake-collection

    Collection of checkers for flymake

  • I also got rid of posframe. I can have the minibuffer open at the top of the frame using display-buffer-in-side-window (side . top) which is good enough for me. I also got rid of ranger for dired and general for bind-key (since I was already using use-package, bind-key basically comes for free). Got rid of flycheck for flymake (https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection makes this a lot easier!). I also moved from evil to the less intrusive meow for modal editing (https://github.com/meow-edit/meow).

  • meow

    Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑 (by meow-edit)

  • deadgrep

    fast, friendly searching with ripgrep and Emacs

  • ido-at-point

    ido-at-point

  • (defun completing-read-at-point (start end col &optional pred) "Inspired by https://github.com/katspaugh/ido-at-point" (if (minibufferp) (completion--in-region start end col pred) (let* ((init (buffer-substring-no-properties start end)) (all (completion-all-completions init col pred (length init))) (completion (cond ((atom all) nil) ((and (consp all) (atom (cdr all))) (car all)) (t (completing-read "Completions: " col pred t init))))) (if completion (progn (delete-region start end) (insert completion) t) (message "No completions") nil)))) (setq completion-category-defaults nil) (setq completion-in-region-function #'completing-read-at-point)

  • zoom

    Fixed and automatic balanced window layout for Emacs

  • I've found zoom works better than golden-ratio-mode for me.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
