Emacs

Its been a few weeks, but I didn't see any post about it here. In case you aren't following the emacs-devel list, Eli Zaretskii, the current MS-Windows maintainer, is asking for anyone to take over day to day issue management and supporting the port as he's wanting to step down from the role.

Take a look at the python code above. Because the word filter is a builtin function it gets highlighted differently than the rest of the code. The problem is, none of the occurrences of the word here relate to the builtin function and it semantically should not be any different from any other decorator or callable.

I honestly think that this is a bug with the syntax highlighter (as it should be easy to discern between a built-in function call and a method from another class, but if I could just disable syntax highlighting in python-mode for the specific keyword, it should be fine? Is that possible to do in elisp?

To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm?

As a long time Vimmer, I have recently started using Emacs out of sheer curiosity. I chose Doom Emacs as it has evil-mode enabled by default, and do not want to dive down the rabbit hole of configuring the editor from scratch (at least, not yet!).

After installing and enabling libvterm in Emacs, I am having a frustrating experience. I configured ZSH shell to use vi-mode keybindings which interferes with evil-mode whenever I press Esc or C-[.

After having searched a little, I came across a workaround to disable evil-mode when in vterm. But it is still not a smooth experience. For instance, when switching between buffers (C-w C-w).

I would like to know how others in the community tackled this problem. Is there a better solution to this problem? Or have you made peace with the aforementioned workaround? Or have you stopped using vterm entirely?

I'm trying to get out of my Python/Javascript comfort zone and start contributing to other Fediverse projects that are built in other languages. If you are already using Emacs for your dev work in any of the above languages, can you share perhaps your configuration or at least recommended packages for beginners, which prioritize sensible defaults and can be used with minimal amount of fussing?
