    Sorry for the technical difficulties at 12:34 blender was just not cooperation but considering this video was meant to come out last week I figured I'd let this one go so you can get more content. Hope you all understand.

      dont compromise quality for quantity... what if this videos gets popular nd u later regret having bad production quality just on that !!!

    Thanks for the workflow example and explanations. That is what I like to see. How others work with Emacs and that gives me ideas. 🙂

    Didn't know about Ement and the compile-command in a file, I usually just use evil mode's :! command and VTerm. Thanks for this video, you always give me a lot of useful information every time you upload a video.

    To look at man pages in Emacs, you can use the woman function, which will open the man page in it’s own buffer, and enable colors (and I think links) by default

    • @GavinFreeborn
      @GavinFreeborn  2 роки тому

      Had seen that before but mostly just use M-x man. Will have to give that that option a try!

    • @trejohnson7677
      @trejohnson7677 2 роки тому

      Its virtually the same. You can also change a variable and have man open up in a buffer, window, frame, etc. If memorry serves, woman is merely man w/ these defaults.

      @@trejohnson7677 I was using WoMan for a while, it is actually a subset of M-x man's functionality implemented in elisp, i.e., its key advantage is that it has no external dependencies, its key disadvantage is it doesn't support everything that man does, both the M-x man, and commandline man commands. Specifically, from memory, it implements all the mandoc specification, but does not implement all the roff derivatives' (troff, nroff, groff) functionality and macros, so I found it was not uncommon to get rendering errors on manpages, in fact, it was quite frequent, so I went back to using M-x man after a while.

    nice setup and video. I'm just (re)learning emacs after a long break. How do you get the minimalist look with no pull-downs ?. Are you running emacs in a terminal or standalone ? Also I really lke the vertical split windows. Is that standard or a package I have to add ?

    Hey Gavin I switched to StumpWM after I've watched your video on it, and it's pretty cool, but it's hard to find information about it online. Do you plan to make more videos about it?
    For example, at the moment, when I have a floating window with other tiling windows, as soon as the floating window loses focus, it gets hidden by the tiling windows. Is there a way for the floating window to stay in front of the tiling ones, like in other WMs?

    • @GavinFreeborn
      @GavinFreeborn  2 роки тому +1

      You can use the toggle Take a look at my stump-conf. I have a setting to make floating windows always in top. Alternative there is a built in command to toggle them
