Emacs and Python Imports
Recently I have been doing some programming in python. I have got it working nicely in Emacs - I may share my configuration another time.
I'm have a problem with imports though. In Python you bring in a library by "importing" it. I often have to edit libraries that are part of the project I'm working on. The problem is that in Python 3 you can't unload a library, nor can you replace it with a newer version.
This is a problem because Emacs python-mode is based around the idea of sending python code to a python shell. This works fine unless imports get involved. Once imports get involved you run into the problem that python will never re-import a library after it has imported it once. So, if you're editing a library the only way to update to the new version (which could be what you just wrote) is to stop the python process and start another one.
Is there a fix for this? Has anyone written a package to at least make constantly restarting python more convenient?

Consult-ripgrep search all your notes
Hi folks,
Does anyone have this working, I want to use consult-ripgrep package and I guess the package offers a search mechanism for org files within OrgRoam directory..
I am missing a search parameter using this config because key binding works but rg does not return anything because nothing was captured from typed-in string: Therefore ARG and OPTS must be replaced by something ? Otherwise (use-package consult)(defun tomek/org-roam-rg-search ()
"Search org-roam directory using consult-ripgrep. With live-preview."
(interactive)
(let ((consult-ripgrep "rg --null --ignore-case --type org --line-buffered --color=always --max-columns=500 --no-heading --line-number . -e ARG OPTS"))(consult-ripgrep org-roam-directory)))

Hi I'm attempting to create a .authinfo.gpg file to use with forge, but I'm unable to save the file. When I click OK after marking the key to use, emacs just hangs. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you resolve it?
I'm using an M1 Macbook Pro.

Struggling with javascript completion with LSP
Crossposting from github, because the response rate there has been pretty slow: https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server/discussions/730
So,
I'm writing an application using vanilla js + WebGL and my development stack is:
- emacs
- lsp-mode
- company-mode
- ts-ls installed through emacs
My LSP config is here, and I'm open to suggestions for improving it.
Completion works fine for the core parts of javascript, e.g. getElementByID() and friends. But if I want to call into, let's say, the canvas API, I don't have completion working. Here's an example:
var canvas = document.getElementById("foo");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("bar");
screenshot
Note how the getContext isn't offered by the language server as a completion option.
Here's a second example:
xmlr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlr.open('GET', url, false);
Similarly, the open isn't offered as a completion option.
How do I fix this? I've tried setting both a tsconfig.json and a jsconfig.json with the following contents:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2020",
"lib": "es2020",
"module": "commonjs"
}
}
But no dice. I still don't get completion in the examples above.
What do?

Use Elixir with Emacs ?
Hello, I'm new on Emacs and I'm trying to use Elixir with Emacs
I installed the elixir-mode M-x package-install [RET] elixir-mode [RET]
https://github.com/elixir-editors/emacs-elixir
and added
(load-file "~/.emacs.d/elpa/elixir-mode-2.4.0/elixir-mode.el")
(require 'elixir-mode)
to \~/.emacs
But elixir's files are still in fundamental mode, I guess I'm missing something ?
Thank you for your help :)
​
EDIT: Thank you the problem is solving :)
I added this in \~/.emacs
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
and installed elixir-mode via M-x list-packages who created elixir-mode-20221017.2044 folder and now it's working :)

Emacs-written novel on the German bestseller list
This week my novel »Der letzte Auftrag« climbed to 11th place on the bestseller list in Germany. Planned and written completely in Emacs, with the help of Orgmode, Olivetti, and you guys here at Reddit. Thank you so much!
https://preview.redd.it/h65k41u1j51b1.png?width=1063&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=d0e2a4f014fac06722ea13df2624f842f6a14329
My website as a writer is (after the old typo3-setup has broken down) is also done via Emacs, it is all static HTML now, but better for viewing with the smartphone than my old page. I tangle the website out of Orgmode into HTML files. If you are interested, the english version, which is somewhat outdated though, is www.titusmueller.de/index\_en.html. I need to get the German content translated and bring it up to date.
Then there is the Agenda for my reading tour through many cities, my e-mails via Mu4e ... You get it: I am hooked. Thank you for making it such a joy even for a non-programmer to use Emacs!

What do you all think
I started work on this theme called "Cacao". I do tech su pport work during the day and happen to reverse colors on an image and got a very pleasing set of colors and decided to try it on EXWM (Emacs window manager). It's still a work in progress, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to get a few opinions as it's more or less up and running!
Feel free to let me know whether it's good, bad or indifferent. I'm pretty thick skinned :) .

Best way to version control .emacs.d for cross platform portability?
I regularly swap between Windows, macOS, and Linux computers. Sometimes I have internet, sometimes I'm on a vpn that blocks package downloads, and sometimes I don't have access to internet at all. This makes it difficult to download and install the Emacs packages I normally use through melpa and elpa. I'd like to version control my .emacs.d for when I have internet access, and keep it on a thumbdrive when I don't.
But I'm not entirely sure what the best way to go about this is portably. Do I just
1. Create a folder called offline-packages
2. Download each package I use from git
3. add this line to my .emacs.d? (add-to-list 'load-path "\~/.emacs.d/offline-packages/my_package")
(require 'my_package)
Can I just do git add elpaand just commit the entire folder under version control? If I do this on my Windows PC will the .elc files work on my macOS or Linux pc? If not how do I handle the recompilation? How have other people approached this?

Window management customisation appreciation post
TLDR: side windows are awesome, you should use them.
A while ago I posted https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/12jfsan/fixedwindowlayoutlikecedet/ and got a reference to https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/demystifying-emacs-window-manager - and that has been life-changing. I've ordered the book purely to appreciate the insights in this article. I'm of course convinced I will find a lot of good stuff in it, but I haven't even began digging into it. But I did create the following little snippet that has in the last 24h already improved my quality of life significantly:
(setq switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions t)
;; Introduce a bottom side window that catches
;; compilations, deadgreps etc.
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\*deadgrep.*\\|\\*Compilation\\*"
(display-buffer-in-side-window)
(side . bottom)
(slot . 0)
(window-parameters
(no-delete-other-windows . t))))
(defun deets/side-window-resize (enlarge)
(let ((bottom-windows (window-at-side-list (window-normalize-frame nil) 'bottom)))
(dolist (window bottom-windows)
(when (symbolp (window-parameter window 'window-side))
(if enlarge
(window-resize window (window-height window))
(window-resize window (- (/ (window-height window) 2))))))))
(defun deets/side-window-toggle (arg)
(interactive "P")
(cond ((null arg) (window-toggle-side-windows))
((listp arg) (deets/side-window-resize t))
((symbolp arg) (deets/side-window-resize nil))))
;; Remove our side-windows

LSP not working properly with c++ template implementation files.
I am currently using C++ in Emacs with lsp-mode. I use CMake to generate compile_commands.json with `set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)`.
So far, this has been working great -- until I had to write template implementation files:
Refresher:
- In non-templated C++, ```#include "header.hpp"``` goes at start of `implementation.cpp` file.
- In templated C++, ```#include "implementation.tpp"``` goes at end of `header.hpp` file.
Basically, since `implementation.tpp` doesn't explicitly "include" its header definitions, the LSP thinks I am just writing out things without defining them, resulting in a bunch of squiggly lines.
I know a lot of people just put their template implementation code in the header file, but I really want to keep it separate. Have any C++ users encountered this problem before and found a solution? Thanks.

Take Screenshots Straight into Org Files in Emacs on Win10
Hi all,
in this blog post I wrote back in 2018, I had described how to set up a function for org-mode in EMACS, that allows you to take screenshots and include them in your org-file with just one move. An example application looks like this: GIF
There is now a new version of the function with improved interface and functionality, you can find it in the post above, or directly in the gitlab repo. The corresponding snippet can be found here.
Hope it helps, I'm looking forward to any kind of feedback.

Is doom emacs still actively maintained?
Hello!
I hope you're all having a great day. I'm a newbie to Emacs, and I've been doing some exploring to find the best fit for me. I started with Spacemacs, but to be honest, it felt overwhelming, and I couldn't get all its spirit.
Then, I gave Doom Emacs a shot, and I was simpler, yet it still seems to have all the functionality I need. For me, doom-emacs offers me a great experience, though.
That said, I have a minor concern. I noticed they released the last significant update back in March. More concerning, though, is that there seem to be quite a few unanswered pull requests, some of which appear to be pretty important in terms of features or fixes.
So, in my complete ignorance, I first want to ask you guys experts about the situation.
Is Doom Emacs still being actively maintained? If not, what do you think is the best way, return to Spacemacs or try another configuration kit?
Thanks for your insights and suggestions.
Best.

org-batch-agenda-csv
Hi guys! I want to export a certain company/project TODO list I am working on, to a CSV file, in order to produce a shareable ongoing progress report of my work onlne. I've gotten the Emacs built in macro org-batch-agenda-csv working somewhat using a command like this:
(org-batch-agenda-csv "MYTAG1|MYTAG2")
Where I'm struggling is with date/time information. I assumed that if my TODOs have a typical SCHEDULED attribute that i'd easily discover date/time info in the generated csv. So far, no such luck.
The help for org-batch-agenda-csv macro talks about optional (rest) Parameters that "are alternating variable names and values that will be bound before running the agenda command." This sounds extremely useful but I'm not sure how to proceed without perhaps examples of how these could be used for some typical uses.
There are also a handful of references to date/time things in both the Emacs online help for the macro, and in the elisp macro definition. I am not an Emacs Lisp expert though and so far my randomish trial and error has gone nowhere.
Can you help?
Thanks!

Highlight multiple lines in consult-line
Today I finally found a few hours to implement 2 features from swiper that I missed in consult-line:
​
Smart recenter: buffer is recentered only if you jump to match outside of current view. (This can be done in a pretty non-invasive way via hooks)
Highlighting of matches on all visible lines in buffer. This is a noticeable patch to core consult code. Instead of creating a patch/fork, I just put into a separate file which I load after consult itself, it redefines quite a few core functions. It might break with newer consult versions.
​
Feel free to try: https://gist.github.com/lazy/4f609cf2b956de2531885747e3c3bf88
Save it to "consult-patch.el" file, open in emacs, M-x eval-buffer, run consult-line, search for something like "let" and enjoy.
​
UPD: gist was updated at least once. Overlay caching didn't move overlays between windows. Now it doef.
​
P.S. I saw another approach to doing that: https://github.com/minad/consult/pull/774. But minad decided not to merge it due to perf and personal preference. Mine is a little better performance-wise: it checks for highlighting only visible candidates and caches the highlight overlays (of which there can be many). But I am not sure if I will be able to overcome minad's personal preference, so don't want to bother with PR. If someone wants to polish this code and try merge into mainline, I won't mind. Think of this code as "public domain".
P.P.S. I don't use swiper because I have quite a lot of custom vertico/vertico-posframe/consult configuration which I do not want to replicate for swiper.

bind.el is now on MELPA with synonym support
For those of you want to try bind.el but don't want to install from source, bind.el is available on MELPA.
Now you can remove any package prefix and write,
(bind (my-window-map
(:prefix "m"
(:repeat
"h" #'windmove-left
"j" #'windmove-down
"k" #'windmove-up
"l" #'windmove-right)
"d" #'delete-window
"D" #'delete-other-windows))
((:global-map)
"w" my-window-map))
in bind block instead of fully typing bind-prefix, bind-repeat, bind-global-map etc.

Processing shorter key combination when emacs expects a longer one
Hi, so for example I have the key combination C-c C-x set up to open neotree and it works fine, however in certain modes (e.g. inferior lisp mode), I suppose that there are longer key combinations that seem to start with my combination for neotree, because when I type it, it shows "C-c C-x-" in the status bar as if it were waiting for me to input more keys
Is there some on the go way I can have it accept C-c C-x as the whole input? there are other cases like this one and I'd like to know the way to have it accept the shorter key combinations defined when I'm finished typing them

Emacs freezes and is wrong size when running startx the second time when using emacs --daemon and emacsclient -c
Howdy! I'm running Gentoo and using EXWM.
I'm trying to set it up so that startx launches emacsclient. I start the server with emacs --daemon --eval "(require 'exwm)" -f exwm-enable (I've tried running this both from TTY and from within .xinitrc). In .xinitrc I start emacsclient with exec emacsclient -c.
Once I've started the server and run startx, Emacs works perfectly the first time. But if I exit with C-x C-C (or switch to TTY2 and killall emacsclient) and run startx a second time, Emacs freezes and the frame shows up smaller and in the top-left corner of the screen.
If it helps here's my .xinitrc:
# Disable access control for the current user
xhost +SI:localuser:$USER
# Make Java applications aware this is a non-reparenting window manager
export JAVAAWTWMNONREPARENTING=1
# Set default cursor
xsetroot -cursorname XCcrosshair
# Set keyboard repeat rate
xset r rate 200 60
# Start emacs
# emacs --daemon --eval "(require 'exwm)" -f exwm-enable
exec emacsclient -c
And here's the relevant bit of my init.el:
(use-package exwm
:straight t
:config
(require 'exwm-config)
(setq exwm-workspace-number 1)
(exwm-enable))
Also there's this in early-init.el that might be relevant but I doubt it:
(push '(fullscreen . maximized) initial-frame-alist)
(push '(ns-transparent-titlebar . t) default-frame-alist)
(setq frame-inhibit-implied-resize t
frame-resize-pixelwise t)
How can I find out what's causing the issue? I just can't understand why it works the first time but not the second time.
Thanks in advance!
