Any good third party packages for line by line focusing that work across all major modes? reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-06 19:03 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nv-elisp · 2022-12-06 20:13 Be more specific. Is this functionality you use in another tool? If so, give that as an example or search for "Emacs + name of tool". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- timmymayes · 2022-12-06 22:49 Emacs has a really cool feature called narrowing its not line by line but you can narrow a buffer to only show a function or highlighted region which is really great for focusing for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- owmagow · 2022-12-07 00:09 Yeah, me too. I love narrowing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 00:13 How? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 00:18 No, just GNU emacs, no other external tools ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 00:19 It doesn't want to work on GNU GTK emacs, am I doing something wrong? `m-x narrow-to-page RET y` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- timmymayes · 2022-12-07 00:40 Not totally sure how narrow-to-page works or defines a page. I usually use narrow-to-region or narrow-to-defun ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 01:15 I think I like `narrow-to-region` better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 01:17 Straight from the emacs manual: >Within some text files, text is divided into pages delimited by the formfeed character (ASCII code 12, also denoted as ‘control-L’). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- oantolin · 2022-12-07 03:40 What does line by line focusing mean to you? If you describe how it is supposed work people can help to achieve it in Emacs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- quasibert · 2022-12-07 07:41 Not sure exactly what you're asking for, but see if hl-line-mode does what you want. I like it when I need to navigate in lots of dense data and want to keep my visual focus on one line at a time easily. Works on any major mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-07 17:34 Is it on MELPA or will I have to install an .el? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- quasibert · 2022-12-08 06:04 I think it's in the default install of the latest emacs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ComprehensiveAd5882 · 2022-12-08 15:57 Okay, thanks!
