Configuring Emacs on My New Laptop

2 months ago I finally started using emacs as my daily editor, was kinda hard at the start, getting used to the key combinations and such. I can now proudly say, that I suck less! Also, thanks for your config, did a little cherry picking of some stuff I wanted as I went along.

[@ecosta]

I just love Tsoding content. 1:40 in and I'm already nodding my head non-stop. His experience with Emacs is exactly what I had on (vanilla) Vim - from "the only real editor" part thru the "I used to have a lot of IDE-like features" and the "I don't need that shite anymore". Which now makes me feel like I need to reset my massive vimrc folder and start from scratch.

[@rudolf-adamkovic]

Fido is a legacy thin wrapper over the builtin Icomplete mode. Instead of Fido, Smex, and all that ancient stuff, just run 'icomplete-mode'. That will give you M-x and more, out of the box. The same applies to your package installation helpers and similar. It is all built-in now man.

Honestly, I like how much of emacs can be configured without writing your own elisp - even though very few non-technical people will ever use it, it means that a non-technical person *can* use it if they want. Obviously to get the best out of it, you need to learn the keyboard shortcuts (i.e. learn to use vim and install evil mode /s), but with a minimal amount of configuration via the gui, anybody can learn to use it.

Grats on the new machine! Also, to anyone who hasn't done - try one of the Lisps! It's a lot more fun to write than it actually looks. Edit: lol don't think I've ever seen avyone PR-ing someone's dotfile repo before Edit2 re emacs modifying .emacs - If I'm starting from scratch I usually do all my customize-mode changes at once, and then manually set those exact things in .emacs (referencing what needs setting is easy since emacs has just dumped everything right there). Once they're all set you can nuke the ;;custom-set-variables section. emacs won't rewrite it unless you change something else from a customize-mode. Not using .emacs for user-code is much easier, though, but I've never claimed to not be stupid.

I'm not sure actually. There are some things I like in xfce, there are some things I like in i3. It would be cool to use them together. I need to research if it's possible to just replace the usual xfce's wm with i3.

The default bindings that do the duplicate the way you want would be "yy p". In the same way that you wrote a function and a binding to it, you can just write a new binding or do a macro that can do that sequence in 1 keystroke.

[@jfqlkd]

For the question of copying the current line and pasting it while having your cursor on the same character in vim: `:t.` does this, `:t-1` will paste it above. (You can also add a range before t to copy more lines ;) )

[@yramagicman675]

Re: compilation mode I sit on the fence between emacs and neovim. My config for both editors is nearly identical because I use Evil Mode. What you said about compilation mode is spot on. It just works, and it does exactly the right thing. The vim equivalent is good, but not close to compilation mode in emacs.

@@programminglife8903 imagine writing YOUR OWN C PARSER because the original is so slow. Respect to Tsoding for that, but this is obviously a sunk cost at this point. Just switch to something written by real engineers. Instead of trying to fix a broken mess, and then telling yourself "now it's not broken, see?" - well by default it still is lol.

1:49:00 This doesn't answer the specific question at hand but Emacs has `kill-whole-line` which is bound to `C-S-BS` by default. I wish Emacs had a way to merely copy a whole line without doing anything else (deleting, pasting on the next line etc).

One more thing why people may use emacs/vim and not IDEs or like VScode and stuff. Is that you may work for a company, that is not upgrading its linux for 10 years and vscode will just not support the old linux libraries mainly(glibc), but emacs does, because it is perfect from the start.

Just a heads up the h264 encoder from AMD is absolute garbage, quicksync on your old laptop might even be about as good or a little better. Their h265 is “ok” though.

[@YannBOYERDev]

I always thought he used the default x264 encoder(an h264 encoder that is CPU-based) at 2500Kbps, why ? Because every time there is motion in his video the video quality degrades really quickly and when motion decreases, the quality is going up, 2500Kbps isn't enough for 1080p 30fps in H264... Even with the max that Twitch allows(6000Kbps) it's not that good. And x264 is really intensive for old CPUs, my Ryzen 7 7840HS can record a 1080p 60fps on OBS with x264 at 10Mbps(10000Kbps) without degrading the performance but CPU usage is for sure higher. Also Twitch is apparently rolling out AV1 which is a way more efficient codec compared to H264, at 6Mbps you can have a pretty good video quality at 1080p 30fps and even 60fps.

[@owlmostdead9492]

@@YannBOYERDev Your 7840HS can also do AV1 (iGPU) but the hardware design is bugged and will output 1920x1082, the quality is good though, still not nearly as good as Nvidia's AV1 (it's basically as good as CPU medium h265).
