Incredible video. using the compile mode for python development to run tests & linters and other one off bash commands is something I saw tsoding do so I've been doing it a lot more lately , but this takes it to next level.

[@blahblah49000]

See also flymake-mode for linting live.

[@gagagero]

​@@blahblah49000I was just about to mention it. I highly prefer it since it also gives highlighting.

[@theodorealenas3171]

Tsoding taught me that Emacs is more similar to Vi than NeoVim is to Vi. And now I love it. Compiling grep find-me -rn .

[@Argletrough]

I've found it helpful to set compile-command as a dir-local variable (C-h f add-dir-local-variable) in the root of a project, so it's available in every file without having to add a header.

[@GavinFreeborn]

Great idea. I don't know why I didn't think to mention that in this video

[@intermarer9145]

9:48 Emacs has a regex builder??!?! Awesome 🥳

[@dianejaeger6427]

Great video Gavin. Love the runtime environment.

[@GavinFreeborn]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@randomsearches369]

Glad, your are getting sponsored.

[@GavinFreeborn]

Thanks, I'm glad to have the opportunity 😊.

[@alternateved1199]

Ah, custom filters are amazingly helpful. Thanks a lot Gavin for that tip!

[@GavinFreeborn]

Happy to help

[@theodorealenas3171]

Okay I have to say it: I read the title of the video, tried M-x compile and left without watching. I knew of C-x p c but not of M-x compile.

[@abenezerasamnew219]

what border/frame are u using ? It's beautiful!

[@rlifts]

Thanks. No Wayland yet? You got me started on eMacs a long time ago. Now I’m going from vanilla to doom. Checking it out.

[@GavinFreeborn]

Emacs has Wayland before using PGTK aka the pure gtk implementation. A quick google should bring you to the right place

[@rlifts]

@@GavinFreeborn I was asking if you're not using wayland yet? You're still on X11? Yea I've been using PGTK for a while now.

[@antoniocorbibellot6532]

Hi, please tell me what kind of theme you have in emacs ?

[@GavinFreeborn]

spaceway. it's in my dot files

[@DooMWhite]

Holy shit, this is amazing!

[@garklein8089]

I have a really jank script I wrote for running files, and one of the main things I use it for is running code in scratch buffers. Is there a way to do this with compile-mode?

[@francisst-amour646]

Maybe you could call (compile "the command) in your jank scripts? Or perhaps call (compile-mode) to change the buffers' mode? Or even create your own major-mode that "inherits" compile-mode (just like grep-mode).

[@muhammadaneeqasif572]

hi i really like your emacs setup can u please share your config?

[@GavinFreeborn]
