Started learning Emacs tonight, and now I can't access Helm's documentation :\
- brabel 5y agoGood time to swith to the lighter (and cooler) Ivy [1]. This site is up, but the actual Ivy Docs Page [2] is also returning a 500!

- activitypea 5y agoThanks for the suggestion, but for now I can only bookmark it for later. My priority right now is to reach basic competency ASAP, so I'm running Spacemacs. I love the "batteries included" thing, but just installing it took like an hour of fiddling before I just gave up and ingored the error message. I don't think it'd be wise to fiddle around with the settings if even the defaults are going haywire.
- brabel 5y agoAh sure, it's good to stick with the default packages in your distribution then... I started from scracth and found that Ivy was more than sufficient for everything I need (and it's quite a lot lighter than Helm). BTW what was the error mesage? Good luck!
- thumbellina 5y agoHelm might have info documentation, available offline within Emacs. Try `M-x info-apropos` and type "helm". Info docs form a tree: press '^' to go up a node, 'n' and 'p' to go forward and back on same level, '[' and ']' to go forward/back a page like a book.
