Sometimes I really do wish GNU Emacs could work as a window manager too. I'm currently using StumpWM but it feels wrong that it's separated from Emacs. Most of the time on my laptop I just have a bunch of emacsclient -c's running, Firefox, and a PDF viewer (though I'm sure Emacs has several browsers, I'm still not willing to give up Firefox).
- daveloyall 12y agoYou and I use our computers in a similar manner, right down to the bunch of emacsclient -c's. Throw a deluge and a vlc in there... I have never quite got emacs integrated into my window manager satisfactorily. Here are some things I've tried: * stumpwm without integration * i3wm with https://github.com/vava/i3-emacs https://github.com/vava/i3-emacs * Various incarnations of http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OneOnOneEmacs http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OneOnOneEmacs with i3wm, awesomewm Things I have considered trying: * talking to clfswm via an inferior lisp process The next thing I'm going to try: * xmonad (via hackage) Let's face it, the end goal here is for ALL keys to go through emacs, and then have emacs tell the WM what to do, yeah? Once that is done, regardless of which wm it gets done to, a bunch of people are going to flock to it, AMIRITE? :)
