The demo gif is one of the use cases. Being DWIM, there are a bunch
more at [https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-
command](https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-command) and code at
https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/ar/dwim-shell-

Dired is the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks!

Agree. Dired seemed so basic on the surface, but man does it pack a
punch!

How did you get your title bar to blend into the buffer so perfectly?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a while since I've looked at this (some may be obsolete),
but I have this in my config:

    ;; Transparent titlebar on macOS.
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(ns-transparent-titlebar . t))
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(ns-appearance . dark))

I'm also on https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Thanks! Will look into it.

Not related but just curious, do you ever have issues with too many
files open error On your eMacs? I use the same eMacs formulae for
eMacs28 and 29.

Everything I do in Emacs begins with Dired. I never open just one
file, I always open a project directory as my starting point and go to
the files or launch asynchronous shell commands from there.

It's probably because your system has [too low a number of maximum
file descriptors](https://synthomat.de/blog/2020/01/increasing-the-
file-descriptor-limit-on-macos/). MacOS's number is notoriously low
and Emacs will hit that limit pretty fast if you're working in
multiple projects and use a language server of any kind.

argh... I used to hit this problem a few years ago. For me, it
happened frequently with mu4e. However, I can't remember if it was an
Emacs upgrade or mu4e upgrade that did the trick. I also don't have a
higher limit set (which is often the solution offered).

    ulimit -n
    1024

I did see a post about this somewhat recently

eMacs were late-1990s Apple Macintoshes designed for the education
market.

Worked, thank you!

Do you know how to customise the gutter colour? It's got a different
colour than the background in my theme.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably the fringe

    ;; No color for fringe, blends with the rest of the window.
    (with-eval-after-load 'fringe
      (set-face-attribute 'fringe nil
                          :foreground (face-foreground 'default)
                          :background (face-background 'default)))

All my theme overrides are over at:
