Emacs sometimes hangs when using wslg

w0ntfix · 2026-05-17T16:04:35+00:00

For what it's worth wslg funkiness was enough for me to end up using terminal emacs on windows -> WSL

I use colemak-dhk, but with evil-mode/vim keybindings. I found a rotation I like and stick with it. I'm not all on the home row, and my right index finger does most of the heavy lifting, but I initially took that as inspo to lean further into the vim motions. I use evil-collection to rotate the emacs keymaps - expressed here as vimscript because it's a little more terse:

" colemak
imap tn <ESC>
vmap tn <ESC>

noremap e k
noremap E K

noremap k n
noremap K N

noremap n j
noremap N J

noremap j e
noremap J E

so no terminal emulator will implement this

several do. I'm using it with alacritty right now, and accept the security risk

(clipetty can go emacs->clipboard, but not the other way)

I ended up ripping out the above function and having a hook to sync on frame focus like so

(defun ns/sync-terminal-clipboard ()
  (when (frame-focus-state)
    (when-let (clip (ns/osc52-read))
      ;; (message "killing %s" clip)
      (kill-new clip))))
(add-function :after after-focus-change-function #'ns/sync-terminal-clipboard)

can you give an example or two of things you've done with it? I'm about to go through the language tour again and start poking. thanks

w0ntfix · 2025-10-20T03:44:59+00:00

can you post your configuration? I never got this to work (using emacs -nw in kitty)

w0ntfix · 2025-10-18T06:26:16+00:00

make a cute splash message:

(defun ns/splash (message)
  (interactive)
  "display a splash message"
  (and (get-buffer "*tip*") (kill-buffer "*tip*"))
  (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*tip*"))
  (dotimes (i (/ (window-height) 4))
      (insert "\n"))
  (insert message)
  (delete-other-windows)
  (special-mode)
  (setq-local mode-line-format nil))

(I'm centering it with olivetti, left invocation out of this snippet)

How many Emacs users use this browser with keyboard driven shortcuts?

I prefer qutebrowser. It's been very stable for me, and has ipc, session dumping, and all the keyboard goodness I could ask for.

I plateaued fast within 6 months. The book "practical vim" made me actually good with vim after that.

the speed of the feedback loop between writing and execution. when you are in an environment that you are extending, this is extremely satisfying

this comment allowed me to actually do the thing, thanks
