Emacs: ediff basics in c/emacs@communick.news

Ediff is great!!!

Does anyone else feel like use-package might be the wrong abstraction, or do I just not get it? in c/emacs@communick.news
[–] JohnDoe365@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I have a tangential observation to contribute. It seems like `use-package` is the way to configure settings, yet customize-group, customize-variable make no use of it. There is a mismatch, others see that too?

Emacs natively on Wayland (PGTK) is slower than on Xwayland (Lucid) Also fonts are not looking good on both (but good on X). in c/emacs@communick.news

As there seems to be quite a lot of hate for Wayland and PGTK I too can confess that all reasons of u/noi-gai are also my experiences for using Emacs on Linux. If there wouldn't be Wayland scaling support with PGTK I wont use Emacs GUI any longer, as everyting would be blurry.

Now I do not know what I miss by not using X as I do not wander back and forth but stick to Wayland since years. Oh I do miss proper GTK integration, but this is only ever going to happen with multithreading-support.

I recommend using https://github.com/jdtsmith/indent-bars it's a good deal faster than any of the other indent-bar solutions. AFAIK Emacs 29 is required and some caveats do apply.

Emacs desktop option to NOT restore frame position and size in c/emacs@communick.news

Oh, you caught a complete noob. Anyway, the point stands, disabling it through configuration also disables window layouts and tab configuration, something I like to keep

Emacs desktop option to NOT restore frame position and size (alien.top)
 

I do use desktop-mode to restore my tab and window layouts and loaded buffers. I also switch workplaces regulary and use different monitor layouts with different scaling factors.

It would be great to use dekstop save mode without saving/restoring frame postion and size.

I am aware of desktop-restore-frames but unlike it's name, at least on Emacs 29, setting this to #f also doesn't restore tab configuration and window layouts what I don't want.

Grep, link to source and outline overview (alien.top)
 

I have a minir inconvenience I hope to be able to solve. I have a couple of markdown buffers open. Many times details are hidden away using outline mode. When I use `rgrep` to search for occurences in buffers, which are already open, and use the mouse to jump to the matching buffer and occuence, point jumps to the closest visible occurence but doesn't "open" details which are hidden because of outline mode.

Is there a way to reveal the actually matching details?

Yes, yes, yes!

(And sorry for the noise)

What is your favorite Emacs flavor/version? in c/emacs@communick.news

To dilute the result?

Any suggestions for a Kill Compile Run Execute sequence from emacs in a single step ? in c/emacs@communick.news

In which case I wonder why you are not running go run anyway?
