> Emacs is actually quite poor at opening large files, at least comparatively—depending on the machine, 65K lines may be enough. However, there's an addon, i.e. a ‘mode’, that implements editing of large files somehow.
Yeah, essentially this (apparently) mostly occurs when the file has no newlines (like json often does). I think the hacks are around turning off font-lock mode and one or two other things (install long-lines-mode if this is a problem you're having).
- aasasd 5y agoAgain alas, long lines is not the only large-file problem in Emacs. Though perhaps most of my woes pertain to Org-mode, but I had to look for a solution to edit large files in the past. This is probably the most current implementation of a ‘view large files’ package: https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi https://github.com/m00natic/vlfi
