Title is a bit misleading. Not sure this is "I'm not using GUIs" but rather "I'm using a terminal-based dev environment". I was hoping to find some nice terminal-based tools for browsing and e-mail and all the other annoying real-life things I need to use
- scarmig 8y ago> real-life things I need to use Emacs has a package for that.
- zeveb 8y agoI use eww to browse simple web pages when programming, and notmuch-el to read my email. For git I use Magit, and for Slack I use emacs-slack. As you might imagine, that all runs within emacs rather than vim. In my own case, emacs is running in a GUI frame most of the time, but I often use terminal-displayed frames as well.
- TeMPOraL 8y ago> but I often use terminal-displayed frames as well. Fun trick: if you run your terminal in 256 colors, the resulting terminal frame is nigh-indistinguishable from GUI Emacs for like 95% of the tasks. This works amazing over SSH, and allows me to work on heavy applications with full productivity even on a bus, with el-cheapo netbook and a mobile connection. (I really need to write a blog post about this.)
- trumped 8y agothe web browser is the only thing for me that is not shell-based... maybe Firefox will come through and create an alternative.
