Emacs 29 is nigh What can we expect?

• doomemacs

  154 19,585 9.9 Emacs Lisp

  An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker

  

  If you install Doom Emacs [1] after installing Emacs itself, I think it would be a couple of days. At least if you can live with the things Doom comes with. It's just a matter of following the instructions, uncommenting the relevant modules in .doom.d/init.el, syncing the changes and off you go.

• toggleterm.nvim

  Thanks for these tips! I'll explore tabspaces, apheleia, async-shell-command (and the Go lib) — all of those are new to me.

  > Can you give a specific example of something you had trouble with?

  I hoped to recreate multiple long-running terminal sessions in splits and tabs, similar to functionality I now use from:

  Neovim (plugin): https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim

  VS Code (built-in): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/basics#_managing...

  I just found “popper”, which didn't exist the last time I looked. It seems like a pretty close substitute:

• homebrew-emacs-plus

  68 2,390 8.2 Ruby

  Emacs Plus formulae for the Homebrew package manager

  My preferred distribution for emacs on macos is: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

  It's well documented and supported, I highly recommend it!

• emacs-overlay

  35 511 10.0 Nix

  Bleeding edge emacs overlay [maintainer=@adisbladis]

  

  Its great to see both eglot and tree-sitter being merged. However, I am unhappy about the state of 'emacs configurations/distributions' right now. I have been using Doom Emacs, but the development is pretty much stalled there [0], and I don't think there is any distribution that is keeping up with these cutting-edge features (compared to the NeoVim ecosystem, let's say). Somehow it feels like I was seeing a lot more activity about Emacs configurations two-three years ago.

  > Compile EmacsLisp files ahead of time

  Ooh, this is interesting. Hoping to see a derivation in https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay soon.

  [0] I am not complaining though as Doom was the main author's personal config from the get-go. I am just pointing out a void.

• elpaca

  29 661 9.0 Emacs Lisp

  An elisp package manager

  Just an fyi for people using straight or interested in it, its maintainer is working on an alternative called elpaca.

• lsp-tailwindcss

  6 193 6.1 Emacs Lisp

  the lsp-mode client for tailwindcss

  As far as out-of-the-box support, I think it works great. Much easier to configure than lsp-mode.

  However, for my uses with a Ruby/React+TSX setup the performance was lacking on a large codebase. I swapped back to lsp-mode and the experience felt smoother.

  IIRC the author's stance on previous discussions around multiple language servers was to rely on flymake instead, since the previous discussion centered around ESLint + TypeScript. Tailwind is a bit of an issue in the ecosystem right now, but you may want to try https://github.com/merrickluo/lsp-tailwindcss.

• omnisharp-vscode

  65 2,592 9.0 TypeScript

  Discontinued Official C# support for Visual Studio Code [Moved to: https://github.com/dotnet/vscode-csharp]

  

  For me its been the questionable stewardship of vscode (https://github.com/omnisharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/5276) and the Emacs from Scratch videos from the System Crafters youtube channel. When I was looking for alternatives I stumbled on those videos and they blew me away.

  Also Emacs 28/29 has been way more welcoming and easy to get started with than when I first tried 8 or so years ago.

• apheleia

  8 580 7.5 Emacs Lisp

  🌷 Run code formatter on buffer contents without moving point, using RCS patches and dynamic programming.

  

  1.projectile-kill-buffers or the built-in project-kill-buffers will do that for the current project. You could run that before switching projects.

  2. https://github.com/radian-software/apheleia

  3. There might be a way to do this but I'm not sure. Emacs being inherently single threaded probably makes this difficult. But yes, I use M-x (re)compile.

  4. libvterm is the best still imo. You can definitely do multiple instances and there's even different tab modes in Emacs now.

  And if you find yourself between the two extremes, perhaps https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs

• popper

  20 458 4.9 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs minor-mode to summon and dismiss buffers easily.

  Thanks for these tips! I'll explore tabspaces, apheleia, async-shell-command (and the Go lib) — all of those are new to me.

• ergoemacs-mode

  9 296 4.7 Emacs Lisp

  ergoemacs-mode

  

  For example I use https://github.com/ergoemacs/ergoemacs-mode, with some commands that I have acquired as muscle memory from using Emacs/mg for long. And still I use nano when I need to do small edits to a file. I also do it almost without thinking about it, especially when doing "sudo nano whatever". Mg should be better for me, but nano is engraved into my palms for some reason.

• dtrt-indent

  2 186 5.2 Emacs Lisp

  A minor mode that guesses the indentation offset originally used for creating source code files and transparently adjusts the corresponding settings in Emacs, making it more convenient to edit foreign files.

  For #2, I've been pretty happy with dtrt-indent (https://github.com/jscheid/dtrt-indent) for DWIM indentation bouncing between projects.

  I have yet to try apheleia, but I wouldn't be surprised if just enabling apheleia, dtrt-indent, and editorconfig-mode (https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs) in prog-mode-hook just did what you wanted.

• editorconfig-emacs

  6 748 7.3 Emacs Lisp

• neovim

  1,408 83,661 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

  Neovim. It is lighter weight than either Emacs or VS Code but can still have pretty much all the bells and whistles. Definitely cool if you prefer to live in a terminal.

  There are several GUIs for Neovim for various platforms [1].

  14 921 5.3 Emacs Lisp

  A Collection of Ridiculously Useful eXtensions for Emacs (by bbatsov)

  For those still on 28, crux-rename-file-and-buffer does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point. This sort of command, that no other code will rely on, was never that important to get into core, and there's some merit in making people create the commands they needed. It's not like with the additions to subr and subr-x libraries (string-replace, string-search etc), which can't come fast enough.
