    Discontinued An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]

  • I did report it at https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/4616 and it was closed, but anyway they plan to move to 27 as the minimum requirement soon. I could, I suppose, just freeze my doom installation on a previous commit for the next 6 months.

  • Wrt LSP specifically, I only use it with python and the whole config is this couple lines plus this hook. IDK how lsp-mode is configured but this works fairly well for me, and actual Python config is a bit more cumbersome (because Microsoft comes up with a new Python LSP package every other day and you can't know which one to deal with...). It hooks into Emacs' complete-symbol (i.e. C-M-i), so if company or whatever (sorry, I don't really know those packages well, there was auto-something too but IDK which one is better or recommended these days) does use that mechanism as a backend, it should work seamlessly. I've made these little bindings to quickly pick a completion from the *Completions* window (gk-interactively is just a macro that expands to (lambda () ). Again, eglot hooks into Emacs' completion mechanism, so I'd risk a guess that helm or ivy would just work with that. Personally I don't like these completion frameworks because again they look to me like they are somewhat useful but not enough to warrant their complexity. I like good old completing-read, with some modern configuration (and BTW the UI Semantics section that bit is in in my init.el contains a lot of what you could call "saner defaults"). Notably they've added some very neat structural and fuzzy matching abilities starting with 25.1 IIRC and I don't even feel the need to turn ido on when those features are enabled.
