lsp C# on nixos: Error running timer: (file-missing "Doing vfork" "No such file or directory")
Hi,
so, the omnisharp version in nixos is borgt and dose not work at all... But if i use lsp-install-server everytime i try to run the lsp i get this mesasge: Error running timer: (file-missing "Doing vfork" "No such file or directory")
I don't know what Doing vfork means, all i know is that some file is missing. But how do i find out WHAT file is missing? Non of the buffers (lsp log, lsp stderr etc.) say something meaning full... how do i debug this? --debug-init is useless i think because the error dose not occur during init.
Please help my GoogleFu is failing me!

Use Gnus with another mail client - share same mailbox.
I'd like to use Gnus: its usage paradigm looks appealing and I'd like to use it to navigate mails, newsletters, newsgroups and RSS feeds together with a handful of features like scoring and filtering and big customization - as expected fro Emacs.
However, I'd like not to renounce (yet?) to the comfort of GUI mail clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, Geany, any is good for me...) in some situations. So the question: is there a way to make them share the same inbox, without having to download the mail twice?. Maybe with a separate process that fetches the emails, so that Gnus does not get stuck doing network operations.
Additional info: My mail provider is Proton Mail. The question applies mainly to Linux systems. It would be useful to have a similar setup even using Emacs for Android - but I guess it's a chimera.
Thank you in advance for your help

Config mu4e to use gpg subkey for signing
I'm capable of sending signed emails via mu4e; Emacs' mml simply sees the FROM: field and from that uses the gpg master key for signing. However I would like to specify a subkey to use, but can't seem to find the variable/function to do so.

Moving to Emacs - getting issues out of the box
Hi all, I'm moving towards Emacs as an old vim user, with the goal of giving up my heathen C ways in favor of Lisp.
Attempting to use slime on a fresh install gives the error:
Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2)

configure line commenting
When I do: M-x comment-line or C-x C-;
It puts a space after comment marks, i.e, the line, that I want to comment:
some line
It does this:
// some line
I use a different style of coding, i.e. I don't like to put spaces between the comment mark and the comment line.
In customize, I've searched for all the places, where it could be configured and set 0 for spaces after comment mark and removed the space from the field, that said, that it is responsible for putting spaces after the comment mark, but it didn't help. The space still appends and I have to manually remove it.
Can you help me to set it up correctly.
I am new to Emacs and still trying to figure it out.

calc's elisp function documentation.
Calc'c elisp functions (imho) all have the prefix `calcFunc-`. So in order to use a calc function like `vlen` in an org table lisp formula, one could use `calcFunc-vlen`. That's nice.
What bothers me is the lack of "on-line" documentation (i.e. usable with eldoc or completion frameworks).
All calc functions are nicely documented here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/calc.html , thats good.
It is possible to modify a elisp's function documentation. e.g. like so:
(put 'calcFunc-vlen 'function-documentation
"Computes the length of a vector.
The length of a non-vector is considered to be zero.
Note that matrices are just vectors of vectors for the purposes of this command.")
Now `calcFunc-vlen` would have a nice "on-line" documentation, usable with `C-h f`, autocompletion and eldoc.
Has anyone already bothered to gather some of those strings from the manual, in a more machine processable form? So I could save some work to create "on-line" documentation of the calc functions?

Diary Appt Alert Behavior
Hi,
I am not sure if many people are using alerts for the appointments, I do, I like the behavior where it brings Emacs to the front and shows a message in the mini buffer. However, when I am quickly writing in another application I sometimes end up writing in the active buffer. I am contemplating creating a function which puts the buffer in read only mode before showing switching to Emacs, if it was not already Read Only, and restores it when the reminder disappears. That should be enough to avoid accidental writing.
Before I embark in that task I would like to know if anybody has done anything like that, or any other creative ideas to avoid contaminating the current buffer.
Thanks!

Turning on font "smart kerning" or "texture healing" in Emacs
The Commit Mono font has a feature that it calls "smart kerning". Monaspace has a similar feature that it calls "texture healing." Characters are moved around slightly, or swapped out for a slightly larger or smaller character to even out the spacing, for example, when a wide character like an 'm' is followed by a narrow character like an 'l'.
The effect looks nice on their web sites. It worked in VSCode, but not in Emacs. The "smart kerning" / "texture healing" features did not seem to be activated when I tried the fonts in Emacs.
How would I get this to work in Emacs? The Monaspace docs say you have to add "'calt'" to "editor.ligatures" in the VSCode Settings. Commit Mono just worked without changing the settings.
I might end up hating the moving around, but I'd have to try it for a few hours to see. I'm just not sure how to set that up in Emacs, or if Emacs supports that sort of thing.

Open a Vertico/Consult or Ivy/Counsel candidate in a new tab
I would like to share a code snippet designed to simplify the task of opening Vertico/Consult/Embark or Ivy/Counsel candidates in a new Emacs tab.
This is a generic function that opens the buffer created by any function in the other window in a new tab:

window in a new tab."

(original-tab-index (1+ current-tab-index))
(original-window (selected-window)))
;; Save the state of the other window
(other-window 1)
(let* ((other-window (selected-window))
(other-window-buf (current-buffer))
(other-window-point (point))

;; Move back to the original window
(other-window -1)
;; Call the specified function (e.g., embark-dwim, ivy-call...)
(funcall func)
;; Switch back to the other window
(other-window 1)
(unless (eq (selected-window) original-window)
(let* ((preview-buf (current-buffer)))
;; Create a new tab and switch to the preview buffer

Enabling python-ts modę causes my Emacs memory usage to blow up
Hello fellow Emacs enthusiasts,
I'm reaching out to see if there's anyone here who's successfully integrated a modern development environment within Emacs for Python programming. Specifically, I'm interested in a setup that incorporates eglot, tree-sitter and company.
I've encountered a significant issue: whenever I enable python-ts-mode, Emacs consumes all my system's memory and crashes. While I've managed to use a more basic setup that limits tree-sitter to syntax highlighting only, I can't shake the feeling that I'm missing out on some great functionality.
To help with investigation:
I am running on a Mac
The bare minimum to reproduce this problem is on the following gist: https://gist.github.com/hnarayanan/a6397d6723fce19e2802d4305071e611
I happen to use Emacs from MacPorts, but to double-check, I also attempted to download it from [https://emacsformacosx.com](https://emacsformacosx.com) and it crashed in the same way
This seems to happen independent of the language server used in the backend. I intend on using python-lsp-server, but it fails even if I don't have it installed.
Has anyone faced a similar problem and found a solution? Perhaps I am doing something very wrong with my config? I'm eager to learn from your experiences and would greatly appreciate any advice or tips you can offer.
Thank you!

How to show what separates emacs from other IDEs
I talked to someone about the extensibility of emacs, but the person I was speaking to assumed that any IDE is just as extensible by using Plug Ins.

Using local language server for remote files
Hi, I’ve been banging my head against something and I figured I’d ask for help.
I open files over tramp and use a remote login machine to do that. Said login machine is shared by many people and thus I can’t run a language server on it. I’d like to use eglot but don’t want to run the language server on it.
I’ve been trying to either run the language server on a computer machine (another remote one) or on my local Mac (Mac would be preferable).
Has anyone managed to point a language server running on a local Mac to files over ssh?

“C-x C-e for Java”: Inline eval of Java exprs to produce a gallery app
Just as C-x C-e evaluates ELisp code, this ±10min Youtube video shows how C-x C-j evaluates inline Java code to build a gallery app.
This is done with Emacs slurping text from any buffer and barfing it into the standard Java repl, run in a background process. These phases are glued together using the repl-driven-development.el package.
