Yea thats it, we are bringing back the use of emacs. This is very much the "why
choose" way and using the correct tool for the job.
I have now gone back to emacs for all the productivity / notes related stuff.
Code will still continue to be in neovim. The developer experience nvim brings
is really nice, the community around plugins is amazing, you can really get
your work done fast. What it does not have is org-mode, this is the feature of
emacs and I would like to go back to using it.
Emacs has now replaced todoist, obsidian and gmail web client. Singularly, I
think these tools are on par if not better sometimes that the emacs
replacement. However, together with org-link, this is where the power is. Being
able to quickly capture tasks that link back to emails is supper powerful.
The org-mode stuff is generally the same. It uses evil mode, so my fingers
don't get lost, Doom to make it look good. All the key bindings are the same,
it's just ripped out all the code and language support. The only code related
package is company so I can get completion on the roam links just like you do
in obsidian.
Email is powered by notmuch. I said this replaces the gmail web client,
however, it's really a couple of other too. The main benefit over have this is
you can have one inbox for multiple accounts. Having a single list for your
inbox is a grate way to keep track of everything. This will org capture and org
links works perfectly with the inbox zero flow, having the ability to file
things away not lose track of them is really nice.
Add a new project type for Practically Makefile projects that are using
conventional tools.
This implements a few features all based around PHP and JavaScript projects. The
most notable features are:
- Compilation error detection for Jest JS testing framework
- Compilation error detection for Psalm PHP static analyser
- Alternate file support for Codeception "Cest" files
- JS test commands supporting "Jest"
- PHP test commands supporting "Codeception", "PHP Unit" and "Simple PHP Unit"
- Full project test support detecting the file type and the test command to run
I am sure this was installed before, it must have been removed when I started
making the repo public.
Anyway this adds it all back and also sets up the emacs package for using it
when writing.
Now the puppet packages get loaded by default. I don't really know why it was
not getting loaded, it must have been some time since I have needed to edit any
puppet config
This is the language we are doing mode configuration in at work now. Cue was
nice but still ab bit new and jsonnet has been around for a lot longer. Cue also
works best with go but we are not doing any of that at work so jsonnet was the
winner.
This is a format on save code formatter for multiple languages. It is based on
prettier.el but is using a custom cli tool for formatting.
This is the emacs port of format.vim a plugin I created to do formatting in the
same way but for vim.
See: site-modules/core/files/vim/plugin/format.vim
This adds file operation command to emacs so you can quickly rename and copy
files.
The problem with the normal copy file if that it misses removing the old buffer
if its a rename and dose not move to the new buffer. This leads to (more than I
like to admit) editing the new file thinking its the old file.
By updating the buffers and automatically switching this prevents this.
The current keybinding was set to kill the buffer that was causing an
issue when there was a spit of the same buffers and you wanted to
close one. If your were in this situation them the buffer would be
deleted and both of the windows would close. This is not what I want
from the "delete window" command, the expected behaviour is to close
the one window and leave the other window. This is what
`evil-window-delete` dose. This prevents the buffer from getting
deleted and if it is the last buffer emacs would then close.
