#spacemacs — Public Fediverse posts

A lot of interesting posts in March's #EmacsCarnival - I enjoyed reading all of them.

In my submission I'm having second thoughts on #Spacemacs usage

#Emacs

Frustrated with how #spacemacs has kept kicking me in the shins with packages after upgrades (either of #emacs or spacemacs itself).

Giving a try to #DoomEmacs now.

Let's see how that puppy works.

'Scuse the mess. I've got CS50 notes and LoFi Girl music mirrored on the TV, writing in org Roam in Spacemacs on my Linux Framework12 and a pomo going.

What other geek nonsense am I missing? 🤣

Spent some time today going through the Spacemacs documentation. My hand made config wasn't getting anywhere and kept throwing up errors, so I think (at least for now), I'll run a spacemacs config, it has most of the features I want.

I *need* to get it sorted by next week, when I'll finally be given the green flag on my apprenticeship. I'll be using orgmode to make notes and (I hope) as IDE for my chosen language.

#emacs #spacemacs #orgMode #apprenticeship

@jorgen #emacs great, and yeah balance in the office is crucial. I don't know if you're a big vi/vim fan, but I hear a lot of good things about #spacemacs (a vi-focused distribution of Emacs).

God damn it. I've really fallen down the #Neovim rabbit hole. This feels like when I started my two year fling with with #Spacemacs.

It will probably end the same way. I'll find some edge case that annoys me enough that I go running back to Nova and PyCharm* rather than banging my head against config files.

*Really anything but VSCode.

I started migrating to a new company laptop. As expected, moving all dev setup was a breeze thanks to #NixOS.

Setting up my mouse was a pain. For whatever reason, #Logitech G HUB detected my mouse inactive until I allowed it in Screen & System Audio Recording. I also needed to re-set my macros (screen left/right).

Next one was #spacemacs. I decided to try #doomemacs, and was fighting a lot installing emacs in a proper way on MacOS. What eventually worked was this:
```
brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
brew install emacs-plus
ln -s /usr/local/opt/emacs-plus/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app
```

After having my failed Doom installation in ~/.config/doom.

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.

Then, doom install, doom sync, and it should work.

People of Emacs and Org Mode:
Are there any packages to manage a project? I have projectile, but that's more for coding. I mean like a house move or fence build kinda project: something that has multiple todos and will take a protracted amount of time.

Failing any specific package for that, what about a org template for said project?

I've had many Take Two moments with #emacs. From trying out #vi emulation that led to try #spacemacs to my bespoke configuration. I think I may blog about meow, my tempting new #taketwo.

I have decided I'm going to try and make a minimal Emacs setup from scratch rather than use Spacemacs following @daviwil videos "Emacs from Scratch". He brings in a lot of the functionality I like from Spacemacs so this will probably be better.

It should also help me read up on using Orgmode and not worrying about the keycombos (although as advised, I have started using M-x a lot more).

#emacs #spacemacs #orgMode

Spent a good couple of hours trying to get my head around Org Mode again. I think I can use it to get organised with work and (HR willing) my upcoming Software Development course. If I can get my head round it, I might even treat myself to the new @frameworkcomputer 12 computer.

It's a shame most of the tutorials are 3-6 years old. Hard to find something that teaches Spacemacs and Org Mode that's not so old most of the key bindings and settings have changed.

Me está cayendo mejor #spacemacs que la mayoría de las personas

Look at my #emacs / #spacemacs , lol.

@jayalane @ams I would still rather see a set of more standard compliant key bindings. CUA mode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CuaMode just isn't good enough, and doesn't even support things like Shift-Ins. It's enough to make me consider mousemacs https://github.com/seamus-brady/mousemacs.

Most modern programmer's editors and IDE's support loading in key bindings from a file. The way Emacs works that would be tricky. I suppose that's why #ExtensibleVILayer and #SpaceMacs are more like projects than property files.

@freezr
Not sure about the latter requirements, but there is #GnomeBuilder https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.Builder/ the one on #GTK3 is the most feature-complete and reliable, but there is an overhaul in development based on #GTK4 I used is my default editor for over a year and liked it, but I'm stuck in my ways with #Spacemacs so I switched back eventually. #Editor #IDE

@mcepl @dekkzz76
I am not sure honestly that the language emacs lisp is lacking so much. But I am not an expert. AFAIK the guile thing was done at a point where there was no native compilation for #EmacsLisp , which we now have thanks to #libgcc. The feeling of the 90s, I don't know, I like the style of #emacs personally but if you want something mor# flashy maybe take a look at #DoomEmacs or #SpaceMacs, of course it won't be vscode but well. There are projects also like #CliMacs but well..

@jgoerzen

Also my use case of #Emacs is specific: While I do some programming, it mainly is my "operating system" that I use all day long, i.e. I read my email in #Gnus, I use some #orgmode, I use #ses as spreadsheet, #eshell and #vterm are my main shells etc.

But anybody with more in-depth knowledge about #DoomEmacs vs #Spacemacs should please chime in and feel free to correct me.
