treating editors as a religion is weird. vscode is the path of least resistance in 2021 but vim and emacs are fine if you prefer them.

save your arguing for the important issues, such as what font you use

linux users fight over which of there terrible text editors is better when the reality is they're both a piece of poo poo just like their os.

it took microsoft to create the first working text editor for linux and even then its not good and runs on javascript

oh yeah
I have a .emacs because dicking around
I enabled line numbers
I installed treemacs to get a project view
M-x treemacs
My project view has line numbers

The minimap plugin just creates a copy of your current buffer with braille characters (or Profont or whatever) at text size 3

Please stop putting everything in effing text buffers. Deprecate terminals. Make the mouse behave normally.

Works for me :smug: although I don't really use the treemacs stuff.

emacs currently has two line number systems, a nicer newer one that uses "display-line-number-mode" and an older shittier deprecated one called "linum-mode" that can often wind up doing poo poo like that. It sucks that it's still around but things are always getting better

writing your own UI sucks, but editing someone else's UI also sucks so it's really kind of a case by case thing.

Yeah all I really care about is not loving up my wrists permanently because I decided to make a career out of computer touching. My mom needed surgery on both wrists from carpal tunnel because she uses a keyboard all day. The minor inconvenience of adapting to an ergonomic keyboard and learning vim navigation has been worth it to not have to deal with all that.

thanks for the loving ISPF flashbacks, rear end in a top hat.

I use emacs but I remap caps to ctrl and mostly use evil anyway. I’d rather use IntelliJ but I’m doing opsy things so I’m in and out of file formats that IntelliJ and vscode don’t know what the gently caress to do with and it’s nice to have one editor with consistent key binds and behavior.

IntelliJ community edition is just as good poo poo for most use cases, and doesn't cost a dime.

I guess if you're doing webshit then you might need to pony up.

good to hear that in tyool 2021 emacs can almost do line numbering

it's very linux to then have two options to do so, broken in different ways. well done.

ah yes, org-mode. nothing like learning a dsl within a dsl for a loving TODO app

quote:

You might want to automatically keep track of when a state change occurred and maybe take a note about this change. You can either record just a timestamp, or a time-stamped note. These records are inserted after the headline as an itemized list, newest first43. When taking a lot of notes, you might want to get the notes out of the way into a drawer (see Drawers). Customize the variable org-log-into-drawer to get this behavior—the recommended drawer for this is called ‘LOGBOOK’44. You can also overrule the setting of this variable for a subtree by setting a ‘LOG_INTO_DRAWER’ property.

Since it is normally too much to record a note for every state, Org mode expects configuration on a per-keyword basis for this. This is achieved by adding special markers ‘!’ (for a timestamp) or ‘@’ (for a note with timestamp) in parentheses after each keyword. For example, with the setting

(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO(t)" "WAIT(w@/!)" "|" "DONE(d!)" "CANCELED(c@)")))

To record a timestamp without a note for TODO keywords configured with ‘@’, just type C-c C-c to enter a blank note when prompted.

so goddamn nice

so what you’re saying is we’re all using command lines now, but the nerds still have manpages while the normies get to just try to guess what commands exist and what arguments each takes
