  • A Consistent Structural Editing Interface - karthinks.com
    1 project | /r/emacs | 5 Feb 2023
    The current state of things is pretty underwhelming and convoluted. In 2018 I designed a system on top of thingatpt that was not married to any parser (can use regexps or use tree-sitter or anything else to build things) or to any editing style (modal vs. non-modal). I'll probably never complete it due to a lack of time/interest, but it still seems to me that what's needed is something like this, a library in the middle that could be used for any package like this. Not sure why no one else seems to see how good thingatpt could be.

  • The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 15 Oct 2021
    I've planned to use treesitter in things.el for a long time, but another package will likely become useful long before I have time to do this.
  • Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
    11 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Aug 2021
    I've designed my own text object/motion system that I hope will eventually bring more "useful" composability to any Emacs user that wants it (see things), but right the implementation is buggy and incomplete.
