is it overkill to use a combination of straight.el and use-package for an org-publish project? i just want a relatively new version of the org package.
#EmacsHelp
Emacs Help: Using Spacemacs, I get these tooltips that remain always on top even when I switch to a different application.
They're not what Emacs calls "Tooltips", those depend on the mouse position. These ones are based on the cursor position. Also, I have a setting to show tooltips in the echo area `(setq tooltip-use-echo-area t)`.
Does anybody know what their name is and how to configure them? Thanks!
#Emacs people:
I use Doom Emacs almost stock out of the box. I'm a vimmer by heart and don't know much about the Emacs ecosystem. What the hell is enabled by default in Doom that makes it so when I press " it automatically inserts two quotes ("")? Similar things happen when I press the left paren or the left square bracket. I want this completely disabled. How do I do that? Thank you!
I recently converted to 'jinx' from flycheck'. It's quicker, easier, 'smaller and less complicated.
Not sure about Helm integration though.
#EmacsHelp I'm new to #emacs and for some strange reason, each time I try to visit a pdf, Emacs refuses to open it, leaving me with the message "Opened XXX.pdf" in external program, even though the pdf is not opened at all. I'm trying to open it with doc-view on both my Debian 12 and Fedora 40 machines and I get the same result. I installed the pdf-tools package on Fedora and did pdf-tools-install but it doesn't work, still the same message. Both machines have mupdf installed.
I use this config: https://github.com/pprevos/emacs-writing-studio/blob/master/init.el
#Elpaca can't install #magit for me right now and I have no idea what the output means.
