ok I bought an emac what now?

>>fprog-183939AB (OP) Lisp is very enjoyable and fun but I fucking hate the keybindings. Vim is objectively better for editing and writing text but emacs is better for everything else.

>>fprog-B38B2458 I prefer GNUreadline keybindings over learning vims. You can use those by default in far more different programs and shells compared to vim keybindings.

>>fprog-B38B2458 > Lisp is very enjoyable Name an application written in it.

God bros we need to go back. Old UIs were peak comfy.

>>fprog-B38B2458 use evil mode duh

>>fprog-B38B2458 Emacs is a very good Vi these days with evil-mode. Try a config like Doom Emacs so you don't have to start a config from scratch. https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

>>fprog-0F8BED1B stumpwm is very comfy desu

>>fprog-183939AB (OP) dogshit. use micro, ed, or acme if you actually care about getting shit done rather than editing a config file for eternity

>>fprog-BZ0NJAGT this is beyond autistic, well done

>>fprog-BZ0NJAGT very nice

>>fprog-183939AB (OP) I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Emacs, is in fact, GNU/Emacs, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Emacs. Emacs is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Emacs, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Emacs, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Emacs is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Emacs is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Emacs added, or GNU/Emacs. All the so-called Emacs distributions are really distributions of GNU/Emacs!

>>fprog-183939AB (OP) imagine being a vim user topkek

>>fprog-7ZRJUB0M I would use acme if I could set keybinds. Its tedious to drag your mouse up to the task bar to click on your commands other than that acme is really good

>>fprog-ZMPAJVNV >acme >keybinds stop being gay man. you realize it actually takes longer to navigate with the keyboard than with the mouse since the brain takes longer to process movement that way than with the mouse, so you write less code in the same time.

>>fprog-JWPLOESO being able to hit 2 keys to execute a command is faster than typing out the whole command and middle clicking I wasn't talking about keyboard navigation like this vim. You know like in tiling window managers you can set keybinds to open programs? I want something similar to that with acme. Thinking of just forking plan9ports acme and making it myself.

>>fprog-XQNNLOBK i see what you mean. you could create a dump file with the commands you want preloaded and just load acme form there every time through an alias or something, so you don't have to type "Put" every time. making a fork seems based though. there could be a way to script the filename into a Put command every time you open a file though, so you could also look at that

what a pretty desktop environment! I also use emacs.

Native compilation is nice. If you're still on Emacs 27 or older, try bumping up to Emacs 28.1 which was just released. Make sure it's compiled with native-compilation enabled.

>>fprog-JWPLOESO This is your brain on Plan 9
