Is there a config to make emacs look as astronvim, nvchad and similar?
I've used vanilla emacs for a long time for microcontroller work with stm32 and recently had to use vscode because of my work as a C++ developer. There I appreciated many of VsCode's features, but being based off Microsoft once my job finished I began planning on dropping it. However seems to be neovim with many of its distros is nowadays the best experience for out of the box similarity with many of vscode's features, however knowing emacs is emacs I know everything's possible but is it worth the effort? Also with vanilla emacs I've seen some performance drawbacks whit heavy configurations and things were sometimes not as smooth even as vscode and I've heard neovim is very fast and light. Do you think emacs is a good idea for my goals? Maybe doom emacs already has what I want? So I don't have to spend weeks configuring emacs.....
Thnx in advance

emacs glitch
For a long time I have been having the issue where my emacs would occasionally glitch, in the following 2 ways:
1. it will randomly hang when I'm doing something. this happens with M-x and honestly everything so I don't think it's caching
2. when I type, it will randomly hang a bit and emit the text I type, but in the wrong sequence of keystrokes. I used to think that it might be completion-at-point taking too much time, but there's honestly nothing there, and there are various of times they are very fast.
I used to assume that it was my keyboard as I basically only use emacs when I'm using my computer, but I just tested that other program don't seem to have this problem
So I suspect it is something with emacs.
​
I tested the typing problem in firefox(I rolled "123123123" on my keyboard) and emacs. In firefox there's occasional delay but very brief and no sequence error, and in emacs this happened
"123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123123121323232311123123123123123123123123"
notice the "121323232311" part at the back, that's when emacs hangs and emit the whole of them out altogether. My hand is quite consistent as you can see all other parts are consistent "123123123".
​
I have no idea why this happens, my machine is generally fast, nothing else (that is only firefox) glitch, and emacs only takes 7% of CPU. I wonder if anyone else have seen this before?
my emacs version is 29.1 with doomemacs. my config is on z.gehninfel.xyz/20230914114145-doomemacs\_configuration.html

How to make sure a function is available and returns the desired values on init?
I've been running into this in my config every now and then and can't seem to find a "reliable" solution for the order to load stuff in.
In this specific case, modus-themes provides a function modus-themes-get-color-value that allows me to customize faces with the correct colors, depending on which modus theme loads at init. I load modus-vivendi and operandi based on the time of day. So, i don't want to set fixed colors for stuff like the tab-line and such.
My specific issues currently is, that the function seems to be available, but the face customization for tab-line is run before the modus theme is loaded, which results in the wrong colors being loaded. But i've also run into the situation that a package tried to configure itself before the modus-themes package was available, so that function didn't work.
My current tab-line config looks like this:
(use-package tab-line
:ensure nil ; For elpaca
:after (modus-themes)
:init (global-tab-line-mode)
:custom-face
(tab-line-tab-current ((t (:box (:line-width (10 . 5) :color ,(modus-themes-get-color-value 'bg-tab-current))))))
(tab-line-tab-inactive ((t (:box (:line-width (10 . 5) :color ,(modus-themes-get-color-value 'bg-tab-other))))))
(tab-line-tab-modified ((t (:box (:line-width (10 . 5) :color ,(modus-themes-get-color-value 'bg-tab-current))))))
)
But this results in black(ish) boxes, instead of the correct colors.
How can i, in general, make sure that the modus-theme is loaded first and all packages i'd like to customize only do so after the theme and colors are properly available? This doesn't seem to be influenced by actually enabling the tab-line. I can leave out the :init statement and later enable the tab-line manually, but the face customization seems to happen anyways.
I also thought about grouping the face customization in the mods-themes packages use-package block, as the colors are specific to that, but the :custom-face stuff runs before the package is loaded, so the entire function isn't available.
If needed, my entire config lives here: https://gitlab.com/domsch1988/domacs

Org-Agenda: Best Approach For Multi-Project Workflow?
I was introduced to Emacs at work and would like to migrate my physical *todo* list to `org-agenda`. This process is much easier thanks to the introduction materials by [DistroTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BOiRmjw5aU&t=939s), [SystemCrafters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNE-mgkZ6HM&t=2728s), and [Prod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqtBXrzXPgQ). While the aforementioned youtube videos are useful, I am having difficulty envisioning how best to organize my todos -- especially across multiple projects.
It seems to me that there are three options (please correct me if I am wrong):
* Single `.org` file -- top-level todo headers, :tags: used to organize per project
* Single `.org` file -- second-level todo headers organized under project-specific top-level headers
* Multiple `.org` files -- top-level todo headers organized in project-specific `.org` files
**What is your approach for tracking/organizing todos across multiple projects?**
I find myself drawn to the idea of having a separate `.org` file per repository at work, organizing git-issue todos in the top-level header and task "steps" todos at the second-header level. However, I question whether this is the best approach because it would require me to update my configuration *(setq org-agend-files ...)* should I work on a new repository -- however unlikely.
​
Any recommendations from seasoned \`org-agenda\` users is welcome!

yasnippet template indenting randomly
I'm newish to emacs, been fiddling with it on/off for about a year but only really had it start to click in the last four months. Anyhow, I'm trying to setup yasnippets and something is jacking up the basic template you get on invoking yas-new-snippet:
# -- mode: snippet --
# name:
# key:
# --
For some reason everything past the mode declaration is quasi-randomly indented. I cannot figure out what is doing it and looking at the yasnippet docs this does not seems like the intent.
My mode line tells me Snippet, ws, yas, company, and wrap are all activated when I invoke yas-new-snippet.
This is my configuration for yasnippet:
(add-to-list 'load-path
"\~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet")
(require 'yasnippet)
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "<tab>") 'yas-expand)
(setq yas-snippet-dirs
'("~/.emacs.d/snippets"
))
(yas-global-mode 1)
Is there something I am missing? Do I have to configure snippet-mode separately as well?

Watch for changes in project?
I want to run a callback function when files change in a project. I see that it's possible to watch individual files, but that's not what I want. Yes, I could write some code to extend this to my entire project, but I'd rather leverage existing solutions if there are any. (Yes, I'm aware LSP file watchers exist, but I use Eglot).

lasgun.el: Avy-backed, actionable placement of multiple marks
​
Demo of lasgun.el
After writing some functionality for my personal configuration, I figured I may as well take a stab at writing my first package out of it.
lasgun.el takes the Filter -> Select -> Act loop of avy and allows you to repeat the first two steps as needed, then act on the selections in bulk.
It comes with two actions preloaded: one to place multiple-cursors.el cursors at each mark, and one to run embark-act-all on the positions. Users can define their own actions with the macro define-lasgun-action. Docstrings have usage information.
Besides avy, there are no dependencies (optionally mc and embark are needed for the aforementioned actions).

Trouble installing eclipse-jdt
I'm trying to install the lsp for java and pre-requisite is this.
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.jdt.ls
I've installed "eclipse-jdt" which is present in the openSUSE repository.
But, I think LSP is not present in this and there's no similar package in the repositories.
I'm getting this error whenever I try to open a Java project -
mode specification error: (error Autoloading file /home/asd/.emacs.d/elpa/lsp-mode-20231227.620/lsp-mode.elc failed to define function lspdeferred)
server-after-make-frame-hook not triggering
Hook to save desktop on daemon exit doesn't seem to work, any ideas? Restoring the desktop works if I manually save the desktop:
(add-hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook
#'(lambda ()
(unless desktop-save-mode
(add-hook 'server-done-hook #'(lambda ()
(desktop-save "~/.cache/emacs")))
(desktop-save-mode 1)
(desktop-read)))))
The desktop file doesn't get written to disk on C-x C-c or emacsclient -e "(kill-emacs)" so I need to manually evaluate (desktop-save "~/.cache/emacs"). I can also confirm the hook gets updated--it just doesn't seem to apply on daemon exit.
Disclaimer: not a programmer :(
Edit: formatted code as suggested.

im coming from neovim and ive been starting to learn emacs this whole day, i managed to get the basic stuff but now when i try to look at other peoples configs its just so different that i have no idea, so i think I'll be rewriting my config from scratch.
so my basic questions are:
what is the best package manager, is it use package, straight, elget..? oh so many...
how should i structure my emacs config? is it only a .emacs or is it separated in init.el package.el straight.el whatever.el? i have no idea
also i wonder if there is a proper "guide" to all of this, and if so, please tell me
i also didnt manage to setup lsp because use package was complaining
but anyways ty very much everyone

How to modify syntax highlighting in treesitter major modes?
I've been looking at trying out treesitter support again (specifically, c-ts-mode), and one thing that's got me stuck is how to modify the rules that are used to highlight the text. c-ts-mode makes some baffling decisions where it deviates from cc-mode in how certain things get highlighted, and I'd like to change this.
I haven't been able to see anything about how to modify the highlighting so far. c-ts-mode doesn't offer anything like c-ts-mode-indent-style for modifying indentation, and the general treesitter documentation for font lock stuff doesn't really help. The closest I've figured so far is that maybe you can write a mode hook that adds entries to the treesit-font-lock-settings list, but there's no indication if this would actually work, and if so how.
I'm worried that the only "solution" right now is to copy-paste the font lock rules in c-ts-mode and manually maintain a separate copy just to change a couple things, which would obviously be unacceptable. And I can't sidestep the issue by, say, modifying font faces to look better, because the issues I want to fix have to do with poorly-chosen generic font faces for some of these rules.
If modifying syntax highlighting isn't possible right now, then I'll make a feature request and go back to waiting for treesitter support to be usable. I'm just not sure what part of emacs would be responsible for the new feature. I get the impression that the font lock rule system as it is now makes it really difficult for a major mode to let you extend its rules, so I'm leaning towards it being a treesitter feature request (as opposed to a c-ts-mode feature request).

How to add marginalia support to my package?
Hi. I'm making a package that sometimes asks for user input with completing read. I would like to add marginalia annotations for the candidates.
Is there an example as to how I should do it? My candidates are already a list in the form of ("candidate" . "content"). I would like for "content" to be displayed as a marginalia annotation.
I would also like to not have a hard dependency on marginalia, of course. I read the README in marginalia's github, and there seems to be a way to do it, but it kinda went over me, didn't quite get it. Thanks.

dumb question on compatibility of packages
So corfu replaces company? vertico replaces ido? X replaces Y.
It's sorta niggled at the edges of my brain for a while now - and it must confuse the heck out of newbies as well as those of us (ahem) who stuck stuff into init.el several decades ago and forgot about it. So I thought I'd ask the cool dudes who know ...
Do packages generally have some kind of protection mechanism to avoid functional conflicts like this? Or at least a warning?
Or perhaps there's a document somewhere that goes into incompatibilities or maybe just "it makes no sense installing X if you have A, B, C..."

lexical-binding: t acting strangely
I'm using Doom Emacs, with Emacs v. 28.1. I'm trying to run code to filter Org roam notes by tag-name. I've added it to Doom's config.el, which I believe is analogous to Emacs init.el. My config.el file has ;;; $DOOMDIR/config.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- at the top, and describe-variable shows that the value for lexical-binding is indeed 't' in this buffer. When I evaluate the entire buffer, I catch a void-variable (tag-name), which (I believe?) shouldn't be happening when lexical-binding is turned on. However, evaluating only the additional region within the same buffer works fine (temporarily, of course). How can I figure out what's going on?
Edit #1: selecting every line in the buffer and evaluating as a region works as well. Is my lexical-binding local variable being overlooked for some reason?
Edit #2: Solved - It was because there was a single white character before ;;; $DOOMDIR.
;;; $DOOMDIR/config.el -- lexical-binding: t; --

Any ways to get tabs in Emacs but like Geany/Pycharm so when there are too many tabs it get hidden beyond the tab view in the tabbar?
as it say in the title. I tried tabbar mode but I noticed the tabs just take the "next line" in the tab bar instead of staying onn a single line like in Geany/Pycharm when there are too many tabs. Tabs also seem to shrink in size too.
