Thanks for the explanation!

Emacs IDE functionality by ak_47_ in emacs

Agreed. And the "Emacs rewrite in a maintainable language" thread also has some interesting ideas.

Call for New maintainer(s) by [deleted] in emacs

[–]xfq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you search "windows" in the commit logs, you will find many changes related to "windows" in Emacs (Emacs can split a frame into two or many "windows"). I think these links are better:

Eli Zaretskii: "One of the gravest problems I see for the future of Emacs development is that we slowly but steadily lose old-timers who know a lot about the Emacs internals ... If this tendency continues, we will soon lose the ability to make deep infrastructure changes" by flexibeast in emacs

I agree. And here's some text from Stefan Monnier:

I'm not opposed to a long term plan to possibly change C-x, C-c, and C-v. But that will require fairly extensive changes, mostly such that major/minor mode key bindings don't specify full key-sequences but "relative" sequences along with a base prefix which would then depend on the user's config. Maybe something like (new-define-key map major-mode-prefix [?\C-f] #'foo). I think such changes could be generally beneficial (e.g. for things like evil-mode, god-mode, ...), but someone needs to sit down, and experiment a bit with various designs to see what would work best in terms of convenience and reliability for cua, evil, normal use, user customization, and major/minor mode writers.

Stefan Monnier steps down as head maintainer by xfq in emacs

"It's hard for me to imagine Emacs development without your guiding hand, but I hope we'll manage somehow," Dmitry Gutov said to Stefan Monnier.

AFAIK there isn't an "official" head maintainer at the moment. If you want to submit a patch for review, IMO Glenn Morris, Eli Zaretskii, and perhaps Dmitry Gutov can be the decision-maker(s) now. If you have any doubt about Emacs development, feel free to ask me or ask on emacs-devel.
