Isn’t it wonderful? NOT. Mixing #Copyleft #FOSS with Copilot? How exactly does that work?And if you like VS Code, be sure to consider using #VSCodium instead, or maybe #Vim, k?The following article is a good read, and as a FOSS and Privacy Advocate, one that enjoys much in common with thine own longtstanding philosophy.https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/#tallship #git #Codeberg #Gitea #privacy⛵.

@tallship You should use #Emacs, which can configured to make just what you dream.

Yes I subscribed in the past to someone on YouTube that just supercharges #Emacs in phenomenal ways. His videos run from basic to extremely advanced, and he presents everything in a cookbook style set of tutorials, demonstrating live while he builds custom environments.I can’t recall his name or channel off the top of my head right now. Bookmarks are a good thing :)I find what can be done with #Emacs to be fascinating: Email, IDE, working in my #Korn_shell (tksh) all sorts of regular interesting operations where you rarely need to exit the environment for anything- even #IRC, which is something I use everyday anyway.I don’t know why, perhaps just sitting down and dedicating time and practice for myself I suppose. And I tried to set up #Vim like keybindings with #Evil_Mode to make it easier for me which is really sort of cheating I guess, but I’ve been using #vi since the late 70’s, so it’s very natural for me.I’m interested in #Org_Mode, since it seems to be a place where people can start off with using Emacs as a daily driver, and it supports Tex and Markdown, so that’s my first stop I guess.Now I do use Emacs, to be fair, but I get lost in it easily so that use is quite limited. With Gemini protocol I use two browsers. #Lagrange is very beautiful and similar to what you’ll experience with common GUI based web browsers.But Gemini is a completely character based environment, so my favorite browser is Elpher, which suits supports Gopher protocol too. Using that gave me some insight into installing from #Melpa.I find that #Elpher works best for me, since it’s so easy to switch from viewing the rendered #Gemini and #Gopher documents to quickly viewing them as the raw document to see exactly how each page is constructed.So again, yes, I think I’ve been procrastinating on this for far too many years and I’m going to set a few hours each week to learn and work exclusively within Emacs until I am actually, if not proficient then, competent.So, how does Emacs factor into your daily routines? How do you fashion your workflows with it?And thanks for the suggestion!⛵.

@akib @tallship Sometimes I use Vim in Emacs's vterm.

@veer66 @tallship #emacs #vterm is pretty good, but the keybindings are so terrible that you can't use modifiers in #vterm by default. There's a #term mode, but it is notoriously slow.

@akib My only problem is that I still use M-x scroll-down in vterm. I hope I have a faster shortcut.@tallship

@akib Thank you. Maybe I have an issue with my keyboard. I press shift + fn + up. and I get <s-up> is undefined. @tallship

@veer66 @tallship What keyboard do you use? Doesn't it have a key labelled "page down" or "pg dn"?

@akib It has both the arrow up and pg up in one key. So I press fn. @tallship

@veer66 @tallship Looks like a laptop keyboard. You might try the following:(with-eval-after-load 'vterm (define-key vterm-mode-map (kbd "S-<up>") #'scroll-down-command) (define-key vterm-mode-map (kbd "S-<down>") #'scroll-up-command))"with-eval-after-load" evaluates its body after the specified package (in this case, #vterm) is loaded. This always works (unless you use a very old Emacs version), but your configuration might have dedicated macro for this (Doom has "after!").#emacs
