dap-mode stopped working
I had dap-mode working with python using the lsp-mode dap-mode settings on the LSP-mode website. I didn't use it for a while and now I've come back to this. I recently moved to emacs 30 from 29.3. Could this be a byproduct of using the development branch and something I'll have to live with or is this error something else?

org-mode: SCHEDULED and ranges
I have read in the manual that SCHEDULED is supposed to be the start time when one will start working on a meeting. However, it's pretty convenient to use a time range (using the commands that org-mode supports to manipulate the SCHEDULED timestamp is very convenient). Also, query languages like org-mode's internal language and org-ql support querying the SCHEDULED time specifically.
Using ranges with SCHEDULED is widespread.
Would it make sense to change SCHEDULED to mean the time when one will work on a task? (either start working on it, if it's not a range, or spend working on it, if it's a range).

In MacOS, is it possible to change the name of the (Emacs) application?
In OS X, I would like to run two instances of emacs. MacOS uses the name of application to display all info about it (e.g. when switching apps, the first string in the menu bar). I would like one instance to have a different name. Furthermore, hammerspoon uses the app name in several of its internal functions to keep track of the app windows.
I have tried to rename the application in the Info.plist file.
I have been successful changing the CFBundleIdentifier. But when I change the CFBundleName, this change does not take effect. Does anybody know how I can change the name of the running Emacs (even if it involves recompilation of the binary)?
Thank you,

Synchronize LaTeX environment variable names in begin{} and end{} with Eglot or AucTeX
Hi, suppose I have an enumerate env as follows
\begin{enumerate}
...
\end{enumerate}
Now, I would like to change this itemize such that that if I edit enumerate to itemize in \begin{} it should automatically change the environment variable to itemize in \end{}.Eglot-rename does not seem to work with this. I don't know if there is a way in AucTeX, other than maybe writing a customized function. I am trying to avoid that since it is an in-built function in Vim or TexStudio.
Any help would be useful. Thanks a lot.
PS: I am using texlab as LSP server for LaTeX with eglot.

How to print from emacs
If I do from command line it works ok, my-file gets printer on my-printer

print-buffer does not print anything.lpstat -p -d I get this error, not sure if that's the issuelpstat: No destinations added.

How to generate a backquote inside a backquote with a value from the outside?
I want to write a macro that defines a function which uses a backquote. For concreteness, let's say that for any given symbol x I want to define a function:
(defun bar (y)
`(x ,y))
My first try would be
(defmacro foo (x)
`(defun bar (y)
`(,,x ,y)))
But this does not work. I can do it by writing instead:
(defmacro foo (x)
(let ((form `(backquote (,x ,',y))))
`(defun bar (y)
,form)))
But this seems very hackish. What is the most idiomatic way to implement this functionality?

Migrating Win key shortcuts
For reasons beyond my control, I am forced to use Windows 11 at work. Luckily, I can still use Emacs.
My emacs config shared with pure Linux machines works and Emacs on WSL is reasonable. But I have problems with Win key shortcuts. Over the years I have added more that 20 shortcuts where. So I need to migrate those shortcuts somewhere else.
Have you been in a similar situation? What is the best solution?

BEGINNER Desperately need help with customising Org
I'm going to keep this short and simple - I've been using Doom Emacs for quite sometime. Its bloody good package, but I don't need 99% of what comes with it ( which now I realize I really miss :'( ). I am making my config from scratch and I really need some help with making org-mode work the way i want.
1. This is my primary issue (Image) . Notice how the text in lists wraps right under the its number. I want it to align with the text block (marked in red).
2. In Doom Emacs whenever my cursor was on a list item that entire item would be highlighted. How do I replicate this?
3. Where can I find all the commands I can use to customize org-mode? I did not find this in the manual, or am I not looking hard enough?
I am using emacs 29 (the crafted emacs config) on Mac OS.
PS - Indent mode and other relevant options are enabled
Thank you.

Help configuring emacs for the first time.
Hello, I've been trying to setup emacs for the first time and it's been pretty easy and straightforward apart from a couple issues. I'm setting it up on a NixOS Virtual Machine using home-manager: I have two files a default.nix where I say which packages to install and a config.el where I write the configs. Here are the relevant parts from the files:
default.nix:
{ pkgs , ... }
{
programs.emacs = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.emacs;
extraConfig = builtins.readFile ./config.el;
extraPackages = epkgs:
with epkgs;
evil
evil-collection
treesit-auto
;
};
}
config.el:
(setq evil-want-keybinding nil)
(require 'evil)
(require 'evil-collection)
(evil-collection-init)
(evil-mode 1)
(require 'treesit-auto)
(global-treesit-auto-mode)
The issues are:
When I run home-manager switch I get two issues. The first one is assignment to free variable 'evil-want-keybinding' followed by a reminder to set evil-want-keybinding to nil before loading evil and evil collection (even if I am doing it).
The second one is that it gives the error cannot open load file: no such file or directory, treesit.
I've tested and the issues are disconnected from one another. I've been googling around for a day now and I wasn't able to find a fix to either. If any of you may know how to fix I'd be grateful.
EDIT: Regarding the treesitter problem, I'm just a moron. The default pkgs.emacs is version 28. Changing it to pkgs.emacs29 it works. It does compile and works, but it does still give me issues about evil-want-keybinding.

New version of exwm-edit v0.0.3
The latest version of exwm-edit can be downloaded from MELPA (git repo)exwm-edit augments EXWM by letting you edit text in X windows in an Emacs buffer. For an example GIF of its usage, please see the project README.
New changes in v0.0.3 include:
- Autoload exwm-edit--compose and exwm-edit--compose-minibuffer,
so it's not necessary to require the package in your init.el.
- Just loading exwm-edit no longer binds any keys.
- Window display now uses standard display-buffer actions. Customize exwm-edit-display-buffer-action instead of exwm-edit-split.
- Require Emacs 27.1 or later
- Bug fixes

GNU Hyperbole now available from Melpa plus hyrolo.py script
The latest pre-release of Hyperbole, based on the git master tip, has now been available on melpa for a few weeks, for those who use melpa rather than the elpa-devel package archive.
One new feature is the single hyrolo.py script which you can install for shell command-line record-level access to your Org, Markdown and Emacs Outline files. You give the search string and files to search on the command-line and it highlights the match in the lowest-level records that match. You can then pipe that into any other program. Not quite as powerful as the Emacs version of HyRolo but useful in other contexts.
Enjoy.

Invalid Font: Verdana
I'm on OpenBSD 7.5, amd64 snapshots, running GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-unknown-openbsd, GTK+ Version 2.24.33, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-04-14.
I tried to set Verdana as the font for org-mode headings as follows:
(use-package org-modern
:hook
(org-mode . global-org-modern-mode)
:custom
(org-modern-keyword nil)
(org-modern-checkbox nil)
(org-modern-table nil))
(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
;; Set faces for heading levels
(dolist (face '((org-level-1 . 1.4)
(org-level-2 . 1.3)
(org-level-3 . 1.2)
(org-level-4 . 1.1)
(org-level-5 . 1.0)
(org-level-6 . 1.0)
(org-level-7 . 1.0)
(org-level-8 . 1.0)))
(set-face-attribute (car face) nil :family "Verdana" :weight 'regular :height (cdr face)))
Following advice on StackOverflow I changed nil :font to nil :family and reloaded my .emacs using M-x load-file. No error and the font looked good, different sizes and all. Verdana appears in the dialogue to set the default font as well BTW. Upon restarting Emacs the next day I got the same error I had got earlier:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid face" org-level-1)
internal-set-lisp-face-attribute(org-level-1 :family "Verdana" 0)

(while tail (let ((face (car tail))) (set-face-attribute (car face) nil :family "Verdana" :weight 'regular :height (cdr face)) (setq tail (cdr tail))))
(let ((tail '((org-level-1 . 1.4) (org-level-2 . 1.3) (org-level-3 . 1.2) (org-level-4 . 1.1) (org-level-5 . 1.0) (org-level-6 . 1.0) (org-level-7 . 1.0) (org-level-8 . 1.0)))) (while tail (let ((face (car tail))) (set-face-attribute (car face) nil :family "Verdana" :weight 'regular :height (cdr face)) (setq tail (cdr tail)))))

Emacs Pinkie? Not a problem! Dvorak Improved layout (Linux, Windows)
* Convenient work in Vim, thanks to moving `Esc`
and `;`
* This layout removes the “Emacs pinkie” and allows you to work comfortably, since the Modifiers are located as in the original source.
* Low distance travel, top row (gray buttons on image) are kept only for gaming
* Excellent for most types of programming languages and numeric input
* Excellent for every genre and type of text

Help needed customizing Isearch keybindings
I am trying to change how isearch works. What I want is to be able to type in my search string, hit "RET", and then be able use abbreviated characters for different behavior, such as "n" for isearch-repeat-foreward, "p" for isearch-repeat-backwards, "o" for isearch-occur, etc. I want to also be able to switch back to normal isearch with something like "i" so I can modify my search string. What I tried was to create a custom minor mode that would change the keybindings to what I want. From my understanding, since this mode is more recently added to minor-mode-alist and minor-mode-map-alist, the bindings in my-isearch-mode-map should take higher precedence than isearch-mode-map. However, when I define it and activate it, isearch bindings still function like the default.
Here is the link to my code. Be warned, it is not pretty as this is my first time writing a minor mode.
What am I missing? Is there a better way to do this? I want to avoid hacky solutions to the best of my ability and I don't want to have to go down to route of trying (and probably failing) to remake isearch just to get this one thing to work.
I am open to suggestions on other packages as well. Currently I am using swiper primarily for search, however I want to start using isearch because of its integration with other emacs functionality like occur-mode. It is also built into emacs which is also a plus.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Desktop Save Mode: how to restore org agenda buffers?
Been using Desktop Save Mode after coming across a post about it--it works great but it doesn't seem to restore Org Agenda buffers (not org agenda files which restore as you would expect, but e.g. org-agenda-list. In place of what should have been a buffer for org-agenda-list is a seemingly random buffer.
Apparently desktop-buffer-mode-handlers can add support for Org Agenda buffers but I don't see an e.g. org-agenda-restore-buffer so I guess on would need to use a custom function? I don't know much programming so hoping someone has found a solution for this.
I also looked into activities.el but it looks like each "activity" is a frame/tab, but for my workflow with a tiling window manager I find it more suitable to liberally create and destroy frames from my window manager's workspaces and for now at least am just looking for a way to restore all buffers/frames/window configuration without the need to create and switch projects. Actually activities.el might be suitable if an activity includes a set a frames. I prefer dealing with frames than Emac's window management because I often work with at least a browser alongside in a window manager workspace and it's just less cognitive overhead to treat each buffer as a frame when the rest of your applications are also managed by the window manager.

How to make eglot show's the snippet completions for typescript??
Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to emacs I'm using emacs 29.1, I do web development with typescript and react,so I configure emacs for that purpose, first I've only use the treesiter modes for typescript and tsx (typescript-ts-mode and tsx-ts-mode) until a friend introduce to lsp and tell me to use eglot since is builtin into emacs.
So I did my research and find about autocompletion with company-mode and that is another mode called lsp-mode, so I decided to try both eglot and lsp-mode. first I use eglot and everything work well until I came across this tutorial -> https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/tutorials/reactjs-tutorial/ then I decided to give a try to lsp-mode
Later on working normaly with lsp y decided to switch back to do a comparision with eglot and realize that in lsp you can autocomplete snippets but then switching to eglot that same thing don't happen. but accordingly to the eglot page you can autocomplete snippets using yasnippet (which I'm already using with lsp-mode) but for some reason this is not working and searching across internet I didn't find any solution. So maybe I'm missing something?
If I didn't explain my self maybe these gif help.

Dynamic :file tags for org source block results
It’s a minor thing, but is there a way I can evaluate an elisp function (timestamp, incrementing number, etc.) in the header of an org source block so that I can dynamically name the filename of the image that is created by the block?
I do a lot of data exploration in org, similar to what one would do in a Jupyter notebook, and it’s a bit of a pain to come up with a unique filename for each one. I’d much prefer just to be able to kill/yank the header and reuse it for each code chunk.
EDIT: Just realized I can create a yasnippet that inserts the timestamp right into the header. That should solve my problem.

Emacs Terminal Keys on MacOS
Hi, I'm new to MacOS. I've been experimenting with using the Command key on the Mac keyboard as the Emacs Ctrl key via
(setq mac-command-modifier 'ctrl).
This works in the GUI. However, when I'm running -nw in the MacOS Terminal, either the system or terminal app is hijacking the Command shortcuts. So, for example, Command-n creates a new terminal window and Command-p opens the print dialog. How do I disable all of the Command shortcuts of the terminal?

Emacs successors?
Emacs is the best singular computer-interaction framework I’ve encountered so far, but we can all agree it has its flaws. Single-threaded performance characteristics, limited to text (rather than some more flexible core abstraction, perhaps one which would better allow making full use of the screen as a 2D canvas), Elisp (which while decent isn’t on par with the specialized Lisps like CL), and other more minor problems.
Are there any promising projects going on to make a replacement or successor for Emacs? The only ones I’m aware of are Lem and Project Mage; the former only solves 2 of the above major issues, and the latter is literally a one-person effort right now.
