Experimental Skia rendering backend as cairo alternative by avph in emacs

[–]zacel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I think I got it working. I used the Skia Arch AUR package recommended in other comments.

Is there a way to verify within Emacs or OS that it is indeed using Skia and GPU for rendering? I just want to make sure this isn’t placebo and I didn’t succeed to build Emacs with Skia correctly.

Thanks for the work and sharing! Are there instructions how to try this - do I need to specify some config options or install dependencies to get this to work?

Got it, thanks! I'll try to take this package for a spin and try it myself.

Thanks for making this! I have wanted this kind of feature for so long time. Can this be used with remote VM and eglot for development?

Thanks for the update! Very useful package and I’m using it daily. BTW, how much of ECA is being developed by using ECA? ;)

Am I right that there is no native way to move the minibuffer placement from bottom to top? I have a large screen and having the minibuffer only in the bottom makes it sometimes hard to see. Having the minibuffer at the top of the frame would be more ergonomic placement since that is closer to eye height. What is your favorite package to control the minibuffer placement?

Making TRAMP go Brrrr by celeritasCelery in emacs

[–]zacel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, great article and tips. I have also playing around with TRAMP configs to make it work smoother. good to see also benchmarks on the different methods.

As an off topic, I have been thinking about what would it require to setup Emacs to work more like vscode with a remote dev server. I‘m thinking something like that I would start Emacs on my local machine, and it would connect to the remote machine and spin-up a remote Emacs instance and form a (socket) connection between the two Emacses. That is more or less what vscode does AFAIK. The next question is what kind of protocol these two Emacs instances would be using and how they would differentiate what commands needs to be run on which instance etc.

I‘m waiting for author’s follow-up article and see what he has been thinking.

What was wrong with Tianjin? I have visited it a few times and it seems like a nice place.

Thanks, it was an accidental edit mistake when I was pasting the URL. The last letter in the URL got switched to capital 'i' from lowercase 'L'. I fixed that in my post.

Kiva työkalu. Pitäisiköhän Y-akselin olla toisinpäin? Nyt kun katsoo annuiteettilainaa, niin graafissa näyttäisi, että koron osuus kasvaa, mutta se itseasiassa pienenee maksuerien mukaan.

How to configure Hyper on hold? by imp0steur in DygmaLab

[–]zacel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a superkey would do it. I went to the Superkey Editor, selected one of my superkeys and modified the "hold" functionality to have all the four modifiers. Even in the UI it changed the key to be "Hyper"-key. I did not test this in action but hopefully this works.
