Eglot LSP setup help
I still don't get how to setup LSP servers even after reading the manual
I have corfu and eglot installed, completion with clangd works with c files without me making any changes in my config file, but trying to setup pyright for python and eglot cannot connect to it for whatever reason.
I executed eglot-reconnect
and was met with this:jsonrpc-error: jsonrpc-error: "No current JSON-RPC connection", (jsonrpc-error-code . -32603), (jsonrpc-error-message . "No current JSON-RPC connection")
Tried to install jsonrpc package via elpaca, no luck with that at all.
Here are the files I use in my config:

E-lnk tablet for a computer science student working with Emacs
Hi guys !
I'm a computer science student, and I'm looking for a minimalist, cheap and efficient e-ink tablet for increasing my productivity.
My current workflow is like this: I code and annotate PDFs in Emacs, take notes in Org-Mode, and take hand-written notes for math classes.
I'd like to centralize my work database, and for that the tablet should be able to read and annotate PDF files, but also Org ones and push changes on a cloud service.
I'll take any advice.
Thanks in advance, and have a great day !

Powerthesaurus
I'm not sure when it started, but recently the powerthesaurus package has started failing with
error in process filter: JSON readtable error: 60
I assume that the website has changed their API and that's broken it, but wanted to make sure it wasn't something I did. I tried to track down the problem but I'm pretty new to elisp.

How to modify n/N to search in one direction in evil mode?
hi experts
​
I am using evil mode(doom emacs). In that i want to do is have `N` always search up in the file and `n` search down in the file ...
​
for that i created this
​
#+BEGINSRC elisp
;; (define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "#") 'evil-ex-search-word-forward)
(advice-add 'evil-ex-re-bwd :after (lambda () (setq evil-ex-search-direction 'forward)))
(advice-add 'evil-match :after (lambda () (setq evil-ex-search-direction 'forward)))
#+ENDSRC
​
but it does not reliably work, can one of you experts tell me what i am doing wrong?
​
TIA

Unicode bold generator etc in emacs?
Before I write my own...
Are there any emacs packages that include commands for taking the text in the active region and switching between bold, italic, etc using unicode substitutions?
ie like these kinds of text generators.
https://lingojam.com/BoldTextGenerator
I realize such a generator can't handle every character, but I want it just for highlighting words in comments, etc.
Tnx!

No way to copy/paste - access the system clipboard - on Android?
I have Emacs for Android installed from https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/ and it's setup nicely.
I've read the manual and it seems Emacs on Adroid (my Android version is 13) doesn't have the ability to access the system clipboard - indeed it seems to be that way.
Is there really no way to copy/paste - share data with other apps? For simple things - like cope a website's URL in Firefox and paste it to a document in Emacs?

Flowed text in Mu4e has long lines that aren't wrapped
The description in the manual says: "On decoding flowed text, lines with soft newline characters are filled together and wrapped after the column decided by fill-flowed-display-column. The default is to wrap after fill-column."
But what about lines without soft newline characters? When I open mails in mu4e, all longer lines are nicely wrapped. The lines though that can be shown completely in the buffer stick out and are not wrapped, and this looks ugly and makes reading harder because of the long lines. (See the attached screenshot. The lines at the end are much longer than the wrapped ones above.)

Has anyone of you found a solution for this?
(In my system, fill-flowed-display-column is set to fill-column, and fill-column is set to 70.)

C++ ts major mode.
Does the c++-ts-major-mode need the c language installed along with the c++ language? I keep getting a warning about it not being able to find the c language that isn't installed but then the treesit functions, syntax highlighting all take off and work anyway.
My first thought was that this is based on my file extension so I checked the list that stores the extension to major mode settings. I can't remember the variable name right now but it's a huge list of regex strings and the corresponding major modes it opens and changed my files to one that specifically calls c++-mode. My init script overrides that to c++-ts-mode.same error.

Python newbie wants Emacs
Hi there!
I'm new to programming and am learning Python!
I decided to go with Emacs, and you might be asking why. Well, I've dabbled a bit with Emacs in the past, and I'm intrigued by its feature set, which I believe could greatly enhance my programming-fu. I'm using Termux with an external keyboard because I do not have access to a computer. Is my approach off-base? Is there a significant difference between using emacs vs emacs -nw ? Can I just stick to the vanilla setup for programming in Python?
Your insights are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How do I get emms to read metadata using tinytag activated within a python virtualenv
With emms the only success I had reading metadata properly was using python tinytag with the line (setq emms-info-functions '(emms-info-tinytag)). The only other configuration I did was to set "emms-info-tinytag-python-name" to python3.
But on new linux distros you can't install tinytag via pip and your system python package. You have to install it into a virtual environment.
My question is, on new linux distros how do I set emms to use tinytag as installed in a python virtual environment? Do I activate the virtual environment and then set emms-info-tinytag-python-name to the path of python in the virtual environment?
Thanks for any help.

Relative org table remote references
I want to seperate input data and calculated data in two tables. But how can I reference one table from another if I need relative column and row positions.
Here is an example of what I mean:
| col1 | col2 | col3 | col4 |
| test | 1 | | |
| test2 | 5 | -4 | 6 |
| test3 | 4 | 1 | 9 |
#+TBLFM: @3$3..@>$3=@-1$2-@0$2::@3$4..@>$4=@-1$2+@0$2
In col3 I show the result of subtracting the value in col2 in the current row from the value col2 in the previous row. col4 does the same with adding the rows
But what if I wanted to have two table. One for the input data (col1, col2) and one for the calculated data (col3, col4)
I tried it like this
#+TBLNAME: data
| col1 | col2 |
| test | 1 |
| test2 | 5 |
| test3 | 4 |
| col3 | col4 |
| | |
| -4 | 6 |
| 1 | 9 |
#+TBLFM: @3$1..@>$1=remote(data,@-1$2)-remote(data,@0$2)::@3$2..@>$2=remote(data,@-1$2+@0$2)
But it throws an error that "Row descriptor -1 leads outside table". Obviously because the relative positions are not based on the second table

typescript treesitter mode syntax highlighting problem
new to emacs and been configuring around to setup emacs as my new editor. been doing some c an python and syntax highlighting is okay. typescript on another note seems like it's lacking some syntax highlighting. when i set `treesit-font-lock-level` to 4, i get a message `query pattern is malformed: "Node type error at", 2, "(function name: (identifier) @font-lock-function-name-face)...` and a whole bunch of elisp which i still dont understand since i havent learned elisp yet.
i didnt do any customization in my init.el for treesitter besides adding treesit-auto

Is there a way to access and use bookmarks (or similar) from within insert-file or find-file ?
When I am editing file-a and want to insert file-b and if both files live in different directories (lets say dir-a and dir-b), things become cumbersome: Invoking insert-file gives me the usual dialog starting at dir-a and I then need to navigate to dir-b before I am able to insert file-b. If dir-a and dir-b are far away from each other, this may take a lot of keystrokes.
This could be made easier, if insert-file would allow me to jump to a bookmarked directory (which might be closer to dir-b). Do you know any such solution ?
Please note, that in this special use-case (insert-file), the command bookmark-bmenu-list (or similar) does not provide an alternative as far as I can see.
Thanx
