I can't deny it. which means, I intend to go forward using tools *outside* of emacs, and will never *truly* join the cult.<br>but that's fine. emacs insists it's a text editor as opposed to an IDE. <br>...i just don't get to eat lunch at the cool kids' table.</p>
kfekete<p>I started migrating to a new company laptop.

For whatever reason, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Logitech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Logitech</span></a> G HUB detected my mouse inactive until I allowed it in Screen &amp; System Audio Recording.

I decided to try <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/doomemacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>doomemacs</span></a>, and was fighting a lot installing emacs in a proper way on MacOS. What eventually worked was this:<br>```<br>brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus<br>brew install emacs-plus<br>ln -s /usr/local/opt/emacs-plus/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app<br>```</p><p>After having my failed Doom installation in ~/.config/doom.</p><p>EDIT: just did this again, and I had to use ~/.emacs.d, which is mentioned in doomemacs' Getting Started section, but not in the main README.</p><p>Then, doom install, doom sync, and it should work.</p>

Niels K.<p>TIL: when you want to reference the first input in a capture template “%N”is used. In a template file that works, but in a configuration-file you need to use “\%N”. Otherwise the “%N” is replaced by a control-character when capturing.<br>At least with doom-emacs.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/doomemacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>doomemacs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orgmode</span></a></p>
Phil Nunnally<p>When I put a hashtag in a <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Journelly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Journelly</span></a> entry, it's best to put it on the same line as the relevant text instead of putting it on its own empty line. This is because in <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/DoomEmacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoomEmacs</span></a>, when I search the current buffer with `SPC s s` and then type in a hashtag, the results at the bottom of the screen will show context beside each tag, otherwise it would just be a bunch of lines of the same single tag with nothing to differentiate each matching instance.</p>
Muzzug :godot:<p>Hmm… How bad idea is to start using Doom Emacs? 🤔</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/DoomEmacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoomEmacs</span></a></p>
chesheer<p>I've been using <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> for the last couple of months now for all my daily work (I'm a translator, not a programmer) and here's a thought.<br>Of course, I stumbled upon rather contrasting recommendations:<br>1) Don't use vanilla, use <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DoomEmacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DoomEmacs</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Spacemacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spacemacs</span></a>. Preferably Doom. Well, I tried this in the past, but it didn't stick. It''s everything and the kitchen sink, but you generally don't know if you really need all this. So you study Doom, not Emacs. I might get back to it in the future. I did prefer Spacemacs, though (aesthetically).<br>2) Use vanilla and spend ten years building your own config. This sounds fairly reasonable, because you naturally learn the program itself, not its plugins. But it's a huge timesink when you start to "build your own Emacs". So you'd end up with DoomEmacs, but badly written, slow and constantly breaking on every update.<br>I went with the second alternative and here's what I got for my personal usecase:</p><p>me@desktop:~$ grep "use-package" .emacs.d/init.el | wc -l<br>8</p><p>Eight packages. howm, inkpot-theme, which-key, avy, counsel, general, annotate, markdown-mode. I didn't even bother to make annotate work for now, so it's 7. And I don't really use avy, so it could be 6.<br>That's all I need for now. For several months I haven't had a moment yet when I thought that I need something else or that my workflow is getting somewhat cumbersome.<br>Of course, this doesn't mean that my setup is perfect. But my point is: configuring your own Emacs could be way easier than you might think (depending on the workflow), and you probably don't need to fight a bazillion packages waging civil war in your config file.</p>
