Many functions have acquired an async variant. For example, „shell-command“ runs shell scripts and redirects their output to a buffer. If you add the ampersand „&“ at the end of your command it won’t block your UI. On the other hand, pa

Treesitter will make LSP servers obsolete at some point I believe. The parser framework also comes with query API you can use for semantic analysis of code — it’s about more than just syntax highlighting. Therefore, with treesitter you shou

„C-h f“ (help on function) or „C-h k“ (help on keybinding) at least gives you some quick information on any function in Emacs. I also recommend „which-key.el“ showing you which commands are bound when you typed in an incomplete key combo. Y

Didn’t know this. Thanks for the tip! Personally, when I test REST APIs, I use „restclient.el“ all the time which also comes with a great JQ integration („jq-set-var“ for example for deriving request variables from responses). For traversin

See my comment above. LSP servers are complicated beasts coming with a lot of specific dependencies. It is simply impossible to ship all available language servers together with Emacs. Even VSCode does not do it. For popular languages it do

by G3rn0ti 3y ago
There are hundreds of language servers out there. Even VScode does not ship all of those. Emacs‘ LSP client „lsp-mode“ tries to download them for you if possible. For example, in case of JavaScript and TypeScript you don’t have to provide i

You don’t understand how Emacs works. It is not supposed to be an IDE from the get-go. But there are extensions that together can turn it into one. For whatever language you program with.

Well, Emacs is all about choice and flexibility -- not 1-click convenience. If you do not want to spend some time learning your tool, it's definitely not for you. I respect that. See, if you hate "lsp-mode" and "lsp-ui&q

First, for every IDE experience you definitely need flycheck mode: (use-package flycheck :diminish flycheck-mode :init (global-flycheck-mode)) This will underline syntax errors for you. (It'll use the language server

I feel you. I am using both cua mode and arrow keys proudly even after a decade of using emacs. Sometimes convenience is more important than keyboard efficiency. I learned to avoid (or even turn off) cua-mode where necessary (e.g. when reco

For good autocompletion you‘ll need both an autocompletion framework and a language server client. I am still using „lsp-mode“ as a language server client which works well for me and it comes with „company-mode“ integration for good autocom

I think parent means the YouTube app. On iOS (and android/chromos?) you can actually download videos and watch them offline if you got a premium membership. But then the videos are under control by the app.

Keyboard macro. You convert the arrays into lines, you sort the result and then turn them back into arrays. If you do this often you could store the macro as an interactive command.

Biggest reason for the success of TypeScript is it aids IDEs in statically analyzing your code and providing enhanced autocompletion results like e.g. methods and properties. In dynamically typed languages this a much more difficult task a

You don’t need all that to emulate objects in C. Instead use this recipe: - classes <-> compilation units - objects <-> structs - methods <-> functions receiving a pointer to a struct as first argument; use name of the cla
