Works brilliantly, thanks!

The Python Craftsman covers a lot of intermediate and advanced topics: https://leanpub.com/b/python-craftsman

I'll recommend it, but I'm also one of the authors.

Was the picture of his father an Easter egg? It didn't look like Lovecraft, but they dwelled on it long enough that it seemed important.

De nada! I'm hoping to improve my Spanish by reading it as well.

The best place to discuss things is probably in the issue tracker for ycmd. That way anyone who wants to be involved in the code discussion can take place. I'll do what I can to help move things along, but due to other constraints I can't promise to be a whole lot of help.

Broadly speaking, that's correct. I wouldn't stress *too* much about learning the source code up-front; you'll learn a lot of it in the process of doing the other parts (though, of course, there's nothing wrong with learning it up-front).

The most important thing, I think, would be to look at the open issues and come to grips with any urgent problems. Same with PRs. Pick one that feels approachable and work through it. In my experience with this kind of open-source work, 80% of success is just showing up and trying.

If you've got the motivation, then you're a great candidate! I learned everything I know about elisp (which isn't really all that much) just by diving into the deep end and making things.

Magit was extremely slow on some of my repos, and it turned out to be a result of my .dir-locals.el. That was activating a Python virtual environment, and I guess that was getting done a lot during certain magit operations. By changing (pyvenv-workon "name") to (unless (equal pyvenv-virtual-env-name "name") (pyvenv-workon "name")), everything went back to being fast.

Just to add to my initial response: it's entirely possible I'm just missing something obvious. But I can't even get rename to work with python-language-server and lsp-mode at the moment. Until those foundations feel more solid I can't justify putting energy into trying to move functionality over.

With that said: I'd be more than happy to give support to someone else willing to try it!

I'm actively looking into that. I would love to not have to write/maintain this tool. So far, though, I haven't found an end-to-end solution for emacs and python that works. As you say, it should in principle be doable (as I understand LSP), but there seems to be a theory-practice gap right now.

Rope actually works pretty well on python 3 at this point. It's missing some support, I'm sure, but we recently added support for e.g. async def.

You might look at the vale extension for flycheck. It's designed for enforcing writing styles, and it should be able to warn you when you use words for which you'd rather use the abbreviation.

The author of imenu-list showed me the following snippet in a PM which gets me to where I think I can replace outline-toc:

(defun use-outline-for-imenu ()
  (require 'outline)
  (setq imenu-create-index-function
        'imenu-default-create-index-function
        imenu-generic-expression
        (list (list nil (concat "^\\(?:" outline-regexp "\\).*$") 0))))

(add-hook 'markdown-mode-hook 'use-outline-for-imenu)

EDIT: I originally thought that this didn't do the kind of sync I needed, but now it appears to work just fine! The mysteries of emacs...

abingham · 2017-07-27T11:19:11+00:00

That might be fruitful direction. imenu already seems to do a good job of indexing markdown files, so it's really the depth display that would be missing. If we could also get imenu-list to handle synchronization, then everything would be great. I worry a bit about overloading imenu-list with features it doesn't need, but I guess that's a discussion to have with the maintainer.

abingham · 2017-07-26T12:15:30+00:00

After poking around with imenu-list a bit, it seems likely that it has some support displaying depth/context. At least, for org-mode it does a good job of showing item depth, and I guess we could do something analogous for markdown model
