Damn Luke, that travel to south america changed you

I look forward to your Typst video

I had no ideea it was a Chinese word 😅 I just pronounced it like Yahtzee

Thanks for comparing Emacs vs NVIM; I understand your points. EMACs can be optimized ELISP functions can be byte compiled, there is some GCCEmacs project that recompiles, suppose also improve EMACS performance. For me, I find emacs easier to use; I just can't stand modal editors and how it works, just upsets me; to each their own. I like EMACS more. 1 point is NeoVIM isn't just work in a terminal, I read there is some NeoVim GUI version called GVIM. The initial problem I had with EMACS was I found it hard at first and gave up; but thanks to youtube there is some nice EMAC newb tutorials and if you really follow it you can started fast, For starters the EMACs team should have really easy preference changes; like get rid of the glaring white screen when you first use EMACS, lol.

nice to see a luke smith fork that uses wayland and rust programs

GNU EMACS, with custom theme, custom keybindings, custom everything.

Emacs is too bloated for an IDE. Being an OS as an editor is the worst compliment in my opinion 😅

is this hyprland?

If we are being honest, emacs lost. Vim has more memes

Learn eMacs know vi

Neither does matter. Real pros use proper tools from JerBrains

I would not say Emacs is a GUI or TUI application. It is both, as you choose to use it. And as both at editors they can be compared. Emacs is not a modal editor like vim, but you have different collection of functionalities, that is called modes. Emacs doesn't need tmux, as it has the server, which can be connected from many places in the same computer. And you can even make systemd user start Emacs in server mode when you log in. You don't need to use Dired if you don't want to, but why? Who want to start the editor, when you have emacsclient? And you have large help in Emacs. Emacs do read the standard input, if you want to, and in Emacs you can pipe buffer through pipes.

Fantastic video. Both the commentary and the visual demo were great. Haven't used a TUI file manager yet, awesome app. Thanks for the overview! (Context for commentary + demo praise: I listened to the video once, audio only, while walking my dogs, and still found it very interesting. Then I replayed and watched the video while I ate breakfast. All to say: great style and progression for it to stand on its own as audio. Great job!)

Shaun White uses emacs?

That looks great with the two windows! One of them is your terminal. Which program is running for your checklist with the checkboxes? And which desktop do you use that the windows have such round corners? I like that a lot! Thanks for your video!

I can't believe Luke grew out his hair and became ginger (jk I love your channel lol)

I can’t believe I wasted 9.30 minutes for you to say that org mode isn’t that great; why else would anyone use eMacs?

I’m so glad eMacs has the ability to utilize VI bindings. If only it could have some focus and do something well.

Welcome back Luke

3:50 actually, neovim can do that with some plugins and a supporting terminal

very nice luke smith fork, starred

you are just writing ascii, its the quality of the thinking not the means of input that matters

Fair, neutral comparison. Thank you

Why would you need anything other than monospace?

Ginger luke smith. Also using an emacs distribution instead of going from scratch invalidates your opinions though. Also delete this video because its blasphemy .

It's hard to imagine the potential emulation of Vi or Vim within Emacs as its irony. If anything worth noting, that is more of a reason to praise Emacs. It stands a testament to Emacs' sheer breadth of capabilties. I may have misunderstood the presentation of your point regarding Evil Mode's popularity and the implication that the default bindings got something wrong. From my understanding, however, you're misunderstanding. Evil mode is not a sledgehammer to the Emacs philosophy because it gives you vim keys to push less buttons. Destroying the non-modal state of Emacs doesn't mean Richard Stallman was full of shit. It makes Emacs better, actually. Evil mode is there for people who want the Vim style in Emacs itself. You can use this, the default bindings, or both at once. Kaboom. Now, you get Emacs with your favorite buttons. Neovim and Emacs + Evil are thusly neck and neck with each other, and at that point it comes down to preference. I will say though, that Emacs having GUI capabilities gives it a pretty dicey edge, especially when considering accessibility, desktop integration, and visual customization. At that point, now it is Neovim that requires the plugin goose chase. To land my point, I ask you to consider why someone would just... do it, installing Evil mode and using Emacs in that state. You said you use it to make documents look pretty, essentially. Others use it as a music player, or email client, which both arrive by default. Emacs doesn't just want you to live inside of it. it helps you, the same way neovim does. I also disagree with the constant floating of the point regarding the UNIX philosophy. Everything inside of Emacs is there when you need to perform a supplementary task while maintaining focus on a core project. This strongly implies its adherence, not divergence, to the Unix philosophy. Emacs is neither an operating system, nor a text editor. it's a meta lisp interpreter. That's pretty much it. As far as that goes, it is perfectly within the bounds of the UNIX philosophy. I'm not gaslighting you. Really look at Emacs and tell me if it's a text editor meant to be a text editor alone. It isn't. It's an interpreter that went into big mode sometime in the early 2000s. It just had a text editor in it.

Upps. You mistakes some things: 1. Lf also known runs commands in the background. My config run archive extreact or compress in the background, so I can use lf while zip, tar or other makes file. 2. Yazi have share clipboards to other instances (example copy, move). Lf also known too. You open another lf, and paste it from other lf select. 3. Lf have different colors for icons and file name too. Example file icons is red, and filename is blue.

Thanks for the video, I have installed it and it is working great, but I am unable to enter the preview mode for the pdfs. I am on Mac using wezTerm. Any ideas?

🪟 Notepad 🤘

you look like an inspiring human being

this was a great breakdown, thanks!

great fork

a developer outside? u gotta be an ai

as a somewhat longtime emacs user, it sounds to me like you're using it for the wrong reasons, respectfully. not that there even are any "wrong" reasons to use emacs but you get what I mean. in my ears it just sounds wrong when youtubers say these kinds of things about emacs. they all use doom emacs because they came from vim and then say that emacs is "becoming like vim". emacs is not trying to be like vim; you're just using a fork that happens to be like that because it's what you wanted. to most emacs users, all the aspects of emacs that you brought up as features you don't really care for are the ones that are the strongest aspects of emacs. easily the strongest aspect of them all is elisp. the fact that you can just have your editor also be the program that interprets your code on the fly is huge. secondly, org-mode is so much more than markdown. it is as much of a work scheduler as it is a tool for producing work. and finally, the standard emacs keybindings generally work better than vi when you are typing more than you are moving around the document. the whole premise of the 'vi keybindings being superior' argument hangs on the supposed fact that we spend more time moving around text than writing it. well, I certainly don't. I write what I want to write and I close the file, because I write more text than code, as do most people. I feel like emacs is more of a general purpose text editor (plus more) whereas vim is more of a minimal code editor, although both programs can accomplish both of those things to varying degrees of success. emacs can be your terminal editor of choice when you're put inside the tty if you want it to, and vim can be your full editing environment if you want it to.

So how do I just launch a file into a text editor? What about other apps? I’ve reviewed all the keyboard shortcuts

excellent review. Have been using ranger for quite awhile now, may have to try this one out. One of my favorite things to do with current ranger setup is to go into the file manager, browse some directories, and then exit-- and you're at a shell, *NOT at the original starting place but rather the location that you navigated to. Probably a gross little script really, but honestly everything works and it's still instant. That'll be the first feature I'd be looking to figure out in the new file manaager. # INSIDE .bashrc or similar for other shell-invoked scripts: # ranger-cd wrapper drops user in the last-browsed directory # instead of CWD when invoked. Use "cd -" to return to original directory # if desired. function ranger-cd { tempfile='/tmp/chosendir' /usr/bin/ranger --choosedir="$tempfile" "${@:-$(pwd)}" test -f "$tempfile" && if [ "$(cat -- "$tempfile")" != "$(echo -n `pwd`)" ]; then cd -- "$(cat "$tempfile")" fi rm -f -- "$tempfile" } alias ranger="ranger-cd" # add wrapper to normal 'ranger' alias rgr="ranger-cd" # just a shorthand OOOOH. Maybe found it right away, first section in the documentation: yazi-rs.github.io/docs/quick-start/ function y() { local tmp="$(mktemp -t "yazi-cwd.XXXXXX")" yazi "$@" --cwd-file="$tmp" if cwd="$(cat -- "$tmp")" && [ -n "$cwd" ] && [ "$cwd" != "$PWD" ]; then builtin cd -- "$cwd" fi rm -f -- "$tmp" } Funny, it's like almost identical script huh!

Nice Luke fork, subbed

What are you using for your FHS wrapper when you run fhs-run? Is this nix-alien or something else? I've been having problems with nix-ld and looking for alternatives to test

Subbed.

Pretty impressive presentation.

Nixos is woke and they’ll call you a nazi if you don’t bend the knee. Bunch of woke Nazis. Wokzis.

Great video! thanks for this! Btw what is your window manager? it looks awsome!

Cool video! I switched to yazi recently for the increased performance over ranger and it's been great! How did you make 't' to full screen preview the current file? I really miss this feature from ranger (it was the 'i' key in ranger). Also, do you have any advice on a tagging implementation system similar to ranger's 't' key? Those permanent tags next to the files were useful to me. Thanks from Romania!

Great video! Impressed with you Chinese pronunciation:-)

all this insane configuration, means nothing the second you ssh into a remote box 😂

Honestly i would probably use nixos if the config was more of an option feature than the main point, i do not want to learn a weird new functional language to configure my system, i may be a nerd but it is a time sink I like the way dependencies are managed but i may want imperative package manager experience

SWEET. you remind me in your speaking of Luke Smith.
