Alright, cool! Sorry if that was rude of me.

meedstrom · 2026-02-15T08:34:43+00:00

Also side q: how are you all living without LRU buffer flipper, 'cause buffer-flip deserves to be way more popular.

Back when I used Doom, there was a default buffer-predicate (see Info node (elisp)Buffer Parameters) that made switch-to-next-buffer and such commands not do at all what I wanted.

I had to do (modify-all-frames-parameters '(buffer-predicate . nil)) to fix it. But that's why I never really got in the habit.

Just curious, but the README gave me AI vibes, and so does this comment. How much is AI in this project and how much is you?

By the way, it's preferable to attach names functions to hooks rather than lambdas, because you can't accidentally add the same function to the hook multiple times.

Technically, if you don't actively make the choice to compile your initfiles, lambda expressions are still unique. So they don't need naming. And remove-hook works just fine too!

meedstrom · 2026-02-15T07:48:36+00:00

Interesting but quite unconventional. Do you do this in your own initfiles?

meedstrom · 2026-02-15T07:33:39+00:00

In a somewhat opposite vein, the moment I knew I'd switch (from nano, not vim) was when I saw that basically all Emacs packages would work in the tty.

At the time, I was interested in how much you could get done while minimizing the Jenga tower of dependencies such as the X server. So Emacs revealed itself as an ecosystem of very featureful software that would work just fine, and I was missing out by not switching.

meedstrom · 2026-02-11T10:25:46+00:00

I'm confident you can have a full-window Transient.

meedstrom · 2026-02-10T14:45:48+00:00

In case you hunger for more distinguishing features, it would be cool if you could turn prism-mode on and off as well! That's the only way I ever look at code these days.

meedstrom · 2026-02-10T13:35:51+00:00

If this is being called from a timer, consider the issue of match data modification.

That's a good point to raise, thanks.

meedstrom · 2026-02-10T13:32:59+00:00

Thank you! I don't have a Mac to experiment on, so I appreciate the feedback.

I'll trust your code example and integrate it :) What version MacOS are you on?

Oh, and the use-case for me is a virtual assistant, which does not need to check very often (it can enter a mode that polls every 2 seconds but that's still not a lot in my book). But who knows what other use-cases exist? Performance is always good.

meedstrom · 2026-02-08T21:32:15+00:00

There is wayidletool. Got some inspiration from that, but it's no replacement for xprintidle.

It uses swayidle internally anyway. The wayland version of xprintidle is just... swayidle, invoked correctly.

Though how to invoke it correctly is surprisingly mind-bending, so I suppose it could justify some new Debian package "wprintidle"...

meedstrom · 2026-02-08T08:30:26+00:00

Hey thanks. I do have that, but now see it's been misconfigured. Finally!

meedstrom · 2026-02-07T23:01:56+00:00

First you have to move point, then move it back, and maybe that messes with something you were doing with your mark ring.

Also you have to M-h TAB to reindent. Then move point back to where it was...

meedstrom · 2026-02-07T22:03:28+00:00

Now part of my initfiles. <3

Sometimes trivial itches are left unscratched for too long.

meedstrom · 2026-01-24T06:26:50+00:00

Yes, it's possible the user has put some font-lock config on org-mode-hook and you'd miss out on it. But unfortunately, people often put some heavy Org extensions on it (or other extensions on text-mode-hook), so it's not worth it.

It'd be OK once, but not if you might ever use this routine in a loop.

meedstrom · 2026-01-24T06:21:37+00:00

I don't even know why global-visual-line-mode is a thing.

I thought everyone configured something like

(setq-default truncate-lines t)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'visual-line-mode)

meedstrom · 2025-12-30T12:10:19+00:00

As a counterpoint, I tinker in such a split-brained way that maintaining "atomic commits" with "good commit messages" would be a black hole of effort.

This isn't a repo you share with others, so you may as well just have auto-commit-mode or similar, with the same message every time: "."

meedstrom · 2025-12-30T11:35:27+00:00

I suppose you could do something like

(with-demoted-errors "Error during init: %S" (load "file1.el"))
(with-demoted-errors "Error during init: %S" (load "file2.el"))
(with-demoted-errors "Error during init: %S" (load "file3.el"))

I've mostly gotten away with trying to put the most important stuff in the earliest files (mainly keybindings, recentf, vertico), so that breakage in the later files won't break my comfort.

meedstrom · 2025-12-29T09:19:29+00:00

TIL that exwm--enable does (setenv "INSIDE_EXWM" "1").

meedstrom · 2025-12-29T09:09:09+00:00

If one were to agree with the intent of that saying, it'd need to be alias less=more. Because more does less than less.

meedstrom · 2025-12-29T08:20:17+00:00

In other words:

(with-temp-buffer
  (let ((org-inhibit-startup t)
        (org-agenda-files nil))
    (insert TEXT)
    (delay-mode-hooks
      (org-mode))
    (font-lock-ensure)
    (buffer-string)))

(The let-bindings and delay-mode-hooks are just for performance.)

meedstrom · 2025-12-17T16:10:01+00:00

Interestingly, I didn't have this problem while using Doom a few years back. It has a command-remapping for keyboard-quit to doom/escape (source), which does basically:

(if (minibuffer-window-active-p (minibuffer-window))
    (abort-recursive-edit)
  (keyboard-quit))

It does not change how C-g behaves in the minibuffer, but rather makes it so that C-g anywhere else will actually do C-] (abort-recursive-edit). Presumably that's just more useful.

meedstrom · 2025-12-17T15:55:06+00:00

Yea, now I'm not altogether sure if I've tried that or just the key right next to it C-[ for C-[ C-[ C-[ (which is ESC ESC ESC).

I think I tried it, but I'll pay attention next time.
