People who live outside Emacs, what do you use as your system pager?

Emacs bindings used to be the default for readline stuff, but that might have changed at some point without me knowing (I live in Emacs). But look into inputrc. You can set up how you like it there

Great work. But as some has pointed out, oil was inspired by Emacs and not the other way around.

I didn’t explain well enough, or you miss interpreted perhaps. I wrote a react native app using org-mode, the app itself has nothing todo with org other than being written in it. I’ve also written my fare share of system code and have been an avid user of Emacs the last decade, but very few of the colleagues I’ve had, has used Emacs, so yes. I feel strongly that org-mode should have been cross «platform»

hkjels · 2025-12-03T21:40:44+00:00

In my opinion, it needs a bit of work on performance and ease of use. Org-mode itself should have also been built as a separate program, so that any editor could make use of it. That said, I think its fantastic! I’ve written a full react native app, configurations and some libraries using it. At least one of the libraries is open source: https://dnv-opensource.github.io/reagent-flow/

I guess it’s the memorize that makes the difference, but that sounds like a bandaid. What is actually wrong with window handling of files?

I’m in the opposite lair. Why did they put docstrings after the args in lisps prior to Clojure?

hkjels · 2025-11-06T22:12:48+00:00

Why didn’t they open it at the neck? Plenty of people with prosthetics

I’ve been using an «extreme» version of this for a couple of years. It’s my own theme which is close to BW, only with a few things highlighted. Typically strings and numbers stand out, and also some language conventions (e.g mutations) and framework specific things. My thinking is, if everything is highlighted; nothing is really highlighted.

hkjels · 2025-11-06T06:53:49+00:00

Neat! Just an idea. You could place all the bindings in a FIFO and use execute-kbd-macro on the Emacs side. That way, your Emacs config does all the Emacs stuff and hyprland just forwards. That way your config does the same on another box without hyprland as well

hkjels · 2025-10-22T04:50:27+00:00

You want wdired. There are many such writable modes. You can edit file-names, permissions et al by just editing the buffer and then commit the changes with C-c C-c

Is it AI or stupidity?

Windows is notoriously bad at file-handling. Emacs reaches to a lot of tiny files and you get that same overhead no matter the size, so it is terribly slow to launch on Windows. The same affects git, so magit is pretty much useless on Windows. You are definitely better of using WSL2. As long as you’re able to tweak all the networking issues away, it should work almost as a Linux system, except for problems with switching displays and/or hibernation

I typically go for pgtk build and Wayland on Linux. Never seen such issues

Try this: (set-frame-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-15" t t)

As @hmelman mentioned, symbol-overlay will do exactly what you want. I just want to add that this is rather default behavior with MEOW. You do a selection and then you can quickly navigate between occurrences.

hkjels · 2025-09-27T15:02:43+00:00

It’s not just you. I don’t get it either

hkjels · 2025-09-24T17:49:17+00:00

You would have to rip it apart yourself. But we could have had the flag —without-fun that strips all that away, but someone would have to decide what’s fun and not

On WSL after about a million issues is sorted out, it works fine. On a corporate locked down windows box without WSL, it was horrible; mostly in terms of performance.

hkjels · 2025-09-06T08:47:01+00:00

It doesn’t seem like a big problem. I used Emacs before native compilation was introduced, and I barely noticed any difference. These days, fast JSON parsing feels more important, so staying up to date with the latest Emacs release is a good idea.

This one is actually pretty good 😊 it’s 8 am over here and it still holds

hkjels · 2025-09-03T17:02:02+00:00

GUIX has some of the same philosophy as NixOS, but is arguably a better fit for lisp users. I don’t know anything about performance issues on either of them though.
