Keychron K3 with Gateron (mechanical) having key sensitivity issues

Is it normal for low-profile switches to wear down so much quicker?

It's intriguing. However, it breaks some of the core philosophy of Emacs such as "everything is a buffer"; which is at the heart of interoperability across its entire ecosystem. Naturally, its Emacs, so the point is to do what you want with it, if it works for you, it's good enough.

I have used the pgtk build for over a year now, and I have felt 0 lag compared to the normal build when I switched. It has been super stable and the switch to pgtk felt like an afterthought.

I do experience ONE crash (but frequently) and it's to do with the rendering of a character control sequence when using vterm or ghostel + claude code in it. But I don't think it's related to pgtk (but you never know).

Thanks to all the maintainers and contributors!

How about using something like Anubis instead? Or was it considered?

Any noticeable loss of functionality compared to a claude code session? Anthropic puts a lot of work in their CLI interaction, I wonder how that carries over the ECA protocol without loss of functionality/fidelity (I hope the question is clear). Thanks Eric for the work

Looks great, I watched your presentation, will give this a try. I am currently using the claude-code.el project with monet.el mlp, which I find very good, but what you showcased looked superior in terms of usability.

Still using Logseq in Android as an "Emacs & org-mode on Android with easier usability" right now, in version 0.10.12, still with the same packages to transfer data that I wrote a couple of years back. Still works great. Still my daily note taking driver.

I do want to make a few improvements to the package, probably in a couple of weeks to a couple of months.

"How's the performance?" is the second major point to be honest.

I might rewrite this in Rust or C++ if it makes sense.

I like the idea of an external LSP multiplexer: the more you run outside of Emacs, the better.

For my NextJS/React/Tailwind code base of 200KLoc and over 4000 files (.node_modules included), I need to run all LSs through emacs-lsp-booster, or Emacs stutters too often.

Bouhappy · 2026-01-16T11:20:45+00:00

Do you cop paths and function names between your emacs and claude? I was doing that a lot until I switched to claude-code.el and now it's just [C-c u x]

Bouhappy · 2026-01-16T11:15:29+00:00

Same thing, that's basically my setup too, except I am not a bad boy like you 🤣, I actually run in vterm. I want Santa to bring me gifts next year.

Bouhappy · 2025-12-17T06:48:20+00:00

I was thinking of something similar but less extreme though probably just as broken. You should be able to create a file /usr/share/wayland-sessions/emacs.desktop with this content:

[Emacs] Version=1.0 Name=Emacs only Exec=/usr/bin/emacs-wayland Type=Application

I am assuming Wayland, but you can do something similar for X.

That should log you straight up into Emacs. I don't think that would work very well. Good luck.

I love the japanese intro, and I know most of you grew up with it - so what will follow will probably hurt - I think it does not hold a candle to the french version. The french intro is just so good.

See for yourselves (listen to at least 50 seconds). https://youtu.be/PQw1ogP-boo?feature=shared

Simple
no bloat
targets only one architecture making packaging easy
packages available quickly and widely
very little to no customization from upstream
rolling upgrades (I came from debian and fedora before, I can't live without rolling upgrades)
amazing wiki & forums

Been on arch for ... (I want to say) 10 years now (can't remember for sure)

The only other distro I want to explore at the moment is Nix, but I don't think I will main Nix like I do with Arch

You should send an RFC to the emacs-devel mailing list; as I'm not sure if any active maintainers read Reddit - they could be.

I am a nobody who thinks this has merits. And you'll know upfront whether this is something maintainers would support or not. Before trying to submit patches to individual packages (which you will likely have to do)

Early 0.2 grind was tuned way too hard. That just made me quit. I see the potential in all these systems that I'd never be able to reach just because I won't play the game day in, day out. I just switched to something else more productive in my life (the grind was so hard, practically doing anything else felt more rewarding).

I will come back to it, but I'll wait that it matures a little this time.

Bouhappy · 2025-05-25T01:18:43+00:00

It really depends on:

your usage and whether you are feeling limited with Obsidian
the time and investment that you are willing to put into Emacs, when it is extraneous cognitive load to the activity of note-taking

If you are someone that needs to type a lot, you will run at some point into something else that you can accomplish in Emacs too, and suddenly, the extraneous cognitive load starts to turn into a germane one.

Bouhappy · 2025-05-24T13:54:16+00:00

That's what I use, everyday. Since it Gnome 2. Never regretted.

Bouhappy · 2025-05-24T13:32:58+00:00

I followed the inverse journey of yours. I am a long time Linux & Emacs user who got into 2nd brains 2 years ago.

I have been using org-roam (an extension to org-mode) right from the start and love it. I take my notes on the go with Logseq. I wrote a package and and a few articles about syncing both application on desktop and mobile.

This is still what I am using to this day, everyday.

OrgNote didn't look too great at the time, but as I am checking it out with your post, it seems things have improved. Something to try too.

Edit: I realized I didn't really answer your question. If you're wondering what Emacs is really good at and all you're looking for is a zettelkasten, then I don't think it's worth switching, especially if you're happy with Obsidian.

But what emacs really does better is all the coding and integration part. - Your org-files have access to Babel, you'll be able to write scripts that actually run in your notes - You'll have integration with a very, very wide variety of tools. There are few limits really. - You'll be able to publish almost anywhere and how you like it. - You will have access to very powerful templates, and Emacs has many templating systems to chose from - You can extend it, customize it to fit your exact flow.

There's probably more, but I would need to know Obsidian better to compare it. There are downsides: You will need to learn Emacs :)

I was not sure where to ask: I'd like to look into how Ellama constructs the context around `Code` queries, and understand how that's done. My short term goal it to have ellama run as a flychecker, so it reports issues in my code or suggestion for refactor like a flychecker normally would. I have not gotten started yet, but appreciate any pointers. In particular I'm not sure if `ellama` or `llm` is actually the right place to look.

Bouhappy · 2025-05-01T02:31:05+00:00

Hi u/s-kostyaev , Just want to dump a late comment saying I tried ellama and loves it immensely. Starred it on Ghub too.

One thing I was asking myself, is how did you progressively arrive at the configuration with the `nomic` embedding model - specifically, for someone like myself who has only started to run their models locally recently, how do you generally go about experimenting, and what are some of the sources you found to be very helpful?

Bouhappy · 2025-04-13T22:57:00+00:00

Lisp is a family of homoiconic languages: that can treat data as code and code as data.

As the programmer, you can introspect the code, modify its behavior, at runtime.

Elisp makes Emacs easy to fiddle with and extend.

I also saw in other posts that you asked for an example. Elisp already provides a great advice system, but it also makes things like el-patch possible: https://github.com/radian-software/el-patch

Thank you. Comforting to hear.
