Emacs

Casual EditKit is an opinionated Transient-based user interface library for Emacs editing commands.

Github repo: https://github.com/kickingvegas/casual-editkit

This package displays keyword entries from source code comments and Org files in the Magit status buffer. Activating an item jumps to it in its file. By default, it uses keywords from hl-todo, minus a few (like NOTE).

Indent-bars v0.7.4 is now on ELPA

Indent-bars is a fast, configurable indentation guide-bars for Emacs

Company is a text completion framework for Emacs. The name stands for "complete anything". It uses pluggable back-ends and front-ends to retrieve and display completion candidates.

It comes with several back-ends such as Elisp, Clang, Semantic, Ispell, CMake, BBDB, Yasnippet, Dabbrev, Etags, Gtags, Files, Keywords and a few others.

Hi!

I'm trying to run the emacs daemon as a systemd user unit, and I'm seeing this error when trying to launch the GUI client:

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

From what I've seen online it might be due to it trying to start before I'm logged in or something like that.
It does work after restarting the unit but I don't want to do that every time.

Anyone else see this before? Any ideas for a fix? Is there a better way of starting the emacs daemon?

Sometimes I do write-ups of the monthly Austin Emacs meetup. Here is the write-up for August.

I am excited and relieved to finally announce the release of Magit version 4.0, consisting of 1077 commits, since the last release three years ago. The release notes can be found here.

Emacs RFC 2646 email flowing

Heck it Emacs!

A few months ago I fixed a bug in RFC 2646 handling where the last paragraph wouldn't get reflowed unless I remembered to add a hard newline (that is, a newline with the 'hard text property) after it, at EOT. I needed to hit one extra RET at the end. All other paragraphs would be wrapped, not just the last one.

(I even bugged @jas@fosstodon.org about it.)

But it still didn't always work and today I tried to get to the bottom of why, spending the entire day debugging it, finally realizing that... It's not even being called when there's only one paragraph in the email. I wasted so much time before realizing that! And then getting to the bottom of why that wasn't happening was the opposite of easy but it turnes out that Gnus by design doesn't call the fill-flowed-encode function when there aren't any hard newlines in the buffer. Which there aren't gonna be if it's a single-paragraph letter 🤦🏻‍♀️

Use-hard-newlines is beyond useless since that's always buffer-local and the text-reflowing is being done in a temp buffer. Instead since 2010 we're supposed to set mml-enable-flowed to true. But don't worry, fans of the messages-are-flowing package, I'm gonna send patches there to reflect that. I have a bunch of other changes to that package too since I've been using that a lot this summer.

This is all in bug#71017 (cursed palindrome!) for people who wanna dig in 👩🏻‍🏫

@emacs@lemmy.ml

I've been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I've recently switched to Kitty, but now I'm wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.

Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?

I still can't quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.

I wrote this script to learn how completing-read's complex arguments works. Compared to other clients it's quite limited; but thanks to packages like Vertico and Orderless, it works quite well for my use cases.
