Emacs Hype PostI have used neovim for nearly a year, and I cannot tell you how many countless hours I have spent in that config. Every, color, accent, and utility was hand designed in order for me to develop something like thisreddit.com/link/1uadbqo/video/7nlmc8wbwa8… I got the urge to replicate this configuration in emacs, and, despite the horrible defaults that ship with emacs, I noticed that the entire emacs framework is so much slimmer than neovims, it's packaging system is better, and it's introspection utilities are extremely powerful. What's the deal with more people not hyping emacs like neovim? Are the poorly designed defaults that much of a barrier to entry? Maybe the stigma about emacs being single-threaded? I know that, for me, the single threaded nature of emacs and the overbearing push to use doom-emacs really turned me off at first. Took me a year but I'll be heavily investing some time into the emacs config. Does anyone here have some suggestions for useful packages? The things I miss in neovim that I need in emacs are:\- nvim flash (basically a way to hop into text) \- treesitter parsers (and management) for julia in python \- nvim slime, i think this actually was inspired by an emacs utility, not entirely sure \- buffers in a statusline that sits at the top of the UI \- Rendering images/text in the buffer, image.nvim handled this entirely, and i just went with it, not entirely sure of it's mechanism other than that it was using the kitty protocol \- vai line formatting: notice in my vido that I use double letters for jump labels? Vai.nvim was a plugin that basically let me press a hotkey and it read the next two characters as input to jump to the labeled values. Much faster for accessing specific lines than using relative numbers because those letter keys were placedaround the home row for extremely fast access. Is there something like this available in emacs already? One thing I really appreciate about emacs after using a relatively fancy neovim TUI was the consistency of where things are placed. Because vim's TUI features like snacks, extras, etc add a lot of components to the screen, it's harder to bake where your eyes, fingers, and thoughts are all supposed to be given your current screen state. So far, adapting to emacs for different utilities has been much easier because there isn't that much visual fluff that causes massive changes to the screen state, so It feels faster moving between different types of buffers and hopping around...redd.it/1uadbqo@r_emacs

Vague theme for emacs built on top of Modus themesHi all,I recently made the emacs port for the excellent vague theme. It is built on top of Modus themes and I've been daily driving it since then.Happy to hear feedback/suggestions. It would be great if people could try it and report issues on the issue tracker.Main repository: github.com/paniash/modus-vaguehttps://red…
Update Reddigg is now a fullblown reddit clientJust an update for one or two users of my reddigg package (github.com/thanhvg/emacs-reddigg). It has become a flullblown client. Beside reading, you should be able to submit a post, make a comment, upvote, downvote, edit your post, your comment... There is a dedicated minor mode which some of the users have been asking for but I was too lazy. Key bindings are not complete yet though.If you can see this post it means it works because I did it through reddigg.Okay here is the fine print:- you must have browsel github.com/dmgerman/browsel, btw many thanks to the creator of this awesome package.- you must have a reddit account, have your browser open old reddit and allow browsel to run on that tab.- reddigg will use browsel to drive the interaction with reddit through your browser.- llm code but lgtm :P- Don't think so but reddit might ban me and you. they closed the free access to old reddit recenly which led me to make this changeredd.it/1vqy5pn@r_emacs
What is emacs canvas and how does it work?Emacs Canvas (patch) on redditFrom my understanding of how programs draw to screens, it seems that Emacs canvas provides a video buffer to external graphics programs or libraries so that instead of drawing to the regular screen, they draw inside a video buffer created and displayed within Emacs.The equivalent I can think of is the case of VNC or Xpra where a program uses a $DISPLAY which is rendered remotely on the client.Would that mean that getting a program to run in a canvas would be along the lines:(emacs-create-canvas height width buffer-name "/usr/bin/random-gui-program -param 1 -param -2")?I suppose there would be some additional parameters relating to passing key strokes, controlling window movement and size etc.redd.it/1vqtjmi@r_emacs

Emacs AI assistants (results)Disclaimer: I'm not a heavy AI user, I'm just trying to understand the differences between AI harnesses specifically for Emacs and if using the real harness claude-code would even make a difference.I like agent-shell more than anything else I've tried in Emacs including ECA which I recently configured but never used for anything.Today I decided to give them both a try to a relatively complicated task (reviewing code) and oh boy, ECA was not only better but thousands of times better.They both are using the same model and configs so I feel I'm missing something here, agent-shell failed to trigger simple things as bufffer overflows while ECA correctly pointed out the issue and fix. I'm I missing something here? Anybody had experience with this kind of things?redd.it/1vqr0f9@r_emacs
Tempted to try Meow over Evil, but worried about IntelliJ / cross-editor muscle memoryI'm coming back to Emacs and I'm playing with Doom and vanilla configurations. I'm really tempted to ditch Evil and give Meow a proper shot. The selection-first model and native Emacs integration make a lot of sense to me, but I have one major hesitation: portability.At work, we use IntelliJ (I enabled IdeaVim). Sticking with Evil on Emacs means my muscle memory stays aligned between Doom/Emacs and my IDE. If I switch to Meow, I'm worried about the context-switching friction during the workday.Has anyone managed to port Meow-style bindings/selection mechanics to IntelliJ or found a solid way to bridge that gap? Would love to hear how others handle using Meow alongside non-Emacs tools at work.Thanks!redd.it/1vqkogz@r_emacs
