#doom_emacs — Public Fediverse posts

so as far as I can tell emacs seems to have two ways of making little icons appear to the side of the text area for line-specific notifications: the "margin", which allows anything, and the "fringe", which allows only images and thus only works in GUI emacs, not my preferred terminal / CLI

this is very inconvenient because Doom Emacs comes with two plugins that put stuff to the side of the text, git-gutter that shows what lines have been changed since the last git commit, and flycheck that shows formatting errors, and I want both of those per-line notifications to be on the left side because that's what I'm used to for a long time now and it'll be very hard for me to train myself to look for those on the right side of the window, but on terminal that means putting them both in the margin, but they don't know how to share the margin or anything, i think it's just a variable that you write to? so one overwrites the other and there's nothing I can do about it? so if I have a formatting error I just won't know about it until I make a git commit containing the error???

That's. Not good. And neither of them seem to have an option to like change the background color of the line or something instead of an icon, so I guess that despite all the effort I put into fixing the colors over SSH before, I'm just going to have to switch to GUI emacs and use X11 forwarding for remote machines?
