Minimap and splitting windows reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jkdufair · 2022-08-03 17:56 Anyone happen to use `minimap-mode` (elpa)? I thought I'd give it a shot and it seems nice. But when I, i.e. `split-window-right` I find that the two vertical panes are not distributed evenly across the frame minus the minimap window. How would I approach fixing this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MitchellMarquez42 · 2022-08-03 18:00 !remindme 5d ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RemindMeBot · 2022-08-03 18:01 I will be messaging you in 5 days on [**2022-08-08 18:00:56 UTC**](htt p://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2022-08- 08%2018:00:56%20UTC%20To%20Local%20Time) to remind you of [**this link **](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/wfdb20/minimap_and_splitti ng_windows/iit7vyt/?context=3) [**1 OTHERS CLICKED THIS LINK**](https://www.reddit.com/message/compos e/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Reminder&message=%5Bhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit .com%2Fr%2Femacs%2Fcomments%2Fwfdb20%2Fminimap_and_splitting_windows%2 Fiit7vyt%2F%5D%0A%0ARemindMe%21%202022-08-08%2018%3A00%3A56%20UTC) to send a PM to also be reminded and to reduce spam. ^(Parent commenter can ) [^(delete this message to hide from others.)] (https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Delete %20Comment&message=Delete%21%20wfdb20) ***** |[^(Info)](https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/e1bko7/remind mebot_info_v21/)|[^(Custom)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?t o=RemindMeBot&subject=Reminder&message=%5BLink%20or%20message%20inside %20square%20brackets%5D%0A%0ARemindMe%21%20Time%20period%20here)|[^(Yo ur Reminders)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot& subject=List%20Of%20Reminders&message=MyReminders%21)|[^(Feedback)](ht tps://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=Watchful1&subject=RemindMeBot %20Feedback)| |-|-|-|-| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MitchellMarquez42 · 2022-08-03 18:02 Good bot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anuctal · 2022-08-04 06:28 And me pls ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arthurno1 · 2022-08-04 18:25 > How would I approach fixing this? You would check the algorithm/code where minimap-mode does the actual window adjustment and after setting yourself into how it works, you would try to come up with a better/different strategy, if possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jkdufair · 2022-08-04 23:45 I knew I was going to regret asking it this way 😂 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jkdufair · 2022-08-04 23:46 I’ve actually done this for other elisp but I suppose I was scared off by it being on elpa vs. melpa and having no idea how PRs work in that world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arthurno1 · 2022-08-05 06:16 > I knew I was going to regret asking it this way :-) It was hard to resist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arthurno1 · 2022-08-05 06:28 > being on elpa vs. melpa and having no idea how PRs work in that world. There is probably some Github/Gitlab/Whatever repo somewhere where you can give a PR to the original author and let him worry about those details? If it was me, I would think about elpa/melpa when I have done the fix. Be it in elpa means you will have to sign up for FSF policy if it is deemed as a significant change, which this might be. Signing is easy. Just send them mail on emacs-devel mail list and they will send you papers which you can either print or just take a photo of with your cellphone. Make a pdf of photos (2 sides) and send them back in mail, it realy is like 1 minute job. But if you don't wanna sign, you can always put the modified version in nelpa/melpa, keep it in some public repo of yours, or simply enjoy it yourself :).
