Nice, thanks. I will defintely check out the awesome-emacs github. How do you search for functions and keybindings within emacs? I've heard it documents everything under the sun, but can't recall where I read that.
I had used
use-package
which I agree is easier, but I think there is an issue either with my OS or more likely me, organizing the config.el in NixOS using org-mode to create sections as it works in the normal config files, but does not work in the org-mode style files with#+BEGIN_SRC #+END_SRC
sections.I'm on NixOS also but I'm not using org-mode for my config, so idk how to help with that. If you do
c-h ?
you can see all of the help commands, likec-h m
for your current keybinds,c-h v
for variables, etc. It says just the key you have to do after doingc-h
. Also if you use the which-key package, there's a minibuffer that shows ways to complete a command after doing something likec-x
in a list of what command happens after you do each possible key after it. Oh yeah I'm using vertico mode which shows all the functions when I hitm-x
and is kinda like autocompletion in an ide except form-x
.Thanks again- this is really useful. Navigation and getting the muscle memory is the hardest thing for me right now. I think I will use these commands and try to practice a little each day until I become more comfortable using emacs full time.
Just wanted to post a quick thank you as this info has really helped me get to a usable / learning state with emacs! Will keep playing and practicing until it becomes second nature.
That's great! If you need any help in the future, I'm always open.
