Gave #exwm a try again. I really like it in theory, but in practice I just find it a lot more messy than i3/sway...

@divyaranjan
yay, too many awesome things happening for emacs in 2026.

Had been waiting for emacs wayland compositor, and it came live.

rassumfrassum, Futur, canvas API, Pale, EWM... what's next?

EWM - Emacs Wayland Manager

Codeberg.org

Something changed recently(?) that #Emacs no longer recognizes the compose key, but other apps do. To be fair, how I've bound it between xmodmap and Emacs is overloaded.

xmodmap: plain capslock is mapped to super, capslock+shift is mapped to compose

Emacs: super+shift+(f/b/n/p) moves windows around

So if I'm hitting capslock+shift, it's ambiguous if that's compose or if it's super+shift+…

But it worked until... recently? And it still works in #EXWM windows, just not regular Emacs windows.

@tfb My fallback WM, when for some reason exwm doesn't work for me, is StumpWM: Common LISP based so sympathetic to Emacs.

I finally have the perfect social media setup for my wide monitors with exwm as the window manager!

Petite question pour les utilisateurs d’#emacs et d’#android ici, qu’est-ce que vous utilisez comme gestionnaire de mots de passe avec un client disponible pour les deux et auto-hebergeable?

J’utilisais #passwordstore qui me convenait parfaitement mais le client android n’est plus maintenu :(

Pour l’instant je teste #vaultwarden mais je trouve le client bureau de #bitwarden pas super pratique à utiliser, c’est trop pensé pour une navigation à la souris et ça rend l’utilisation beaucoup moins fluide que ce que j’ai actuellement.

Password-store encore une fois a un super paquet pour emacs qui me permet en un raccourci clavier de lancer le client, rechercher mon mot de passe, le copier et à nouveau avec le premier raccourci de rebasculer sur l’appli ou j’étais avant (j’utilise #exwm comme environnement de bureau)

Je n’ai pas vu de client natif emacs pour bitwarden, la meilleure piste que je vois c’est le paquet #emacs-bitwarden (https://github.com/seanfarley/emacs-bitwarden?tab=readme-ov-file) qui est en fait un wrapper pour le client en ligne de commande bw et qui permet d’intégrer bitwarden comme auth-source en mode lecture seule.

Ceci-dit les vraies fonctionalités de partage de mots de passe et d’organisation de vaultwarden sont plutôt attirantes.

Avant de me lancer à fond sur vaultwarden je voudrais être sûr qu’il n’y a pas d’autre solution évidente que j’aurais zappée…

@amy I have a bunch of #exwm simulation keys too but never thought to do C-x h, good idea!

For M-f/M-b I map them to C-left and C-right. I also have C-d to delete, C-k to S-end and delete, C-y to C-v, M-w to C-c and a few others.

One challenge is to make C-s work similarly to isearch so that the same key can both initiate the search and search again. I try to do that by sending both C-f and C-g but it's not always perfect.

A couple weeks ago, I posted about my guix setup in-progress, and I think it's finally stabilized a little and the last few things I thought were necessary for a desktop environment were implemented, like a good screen-lock/display power/sleep/hibernate setup, switching from docker to podman and podman-compose, setting up a java language server, and getting all of my emacs config and packages guix-ified.

Oh, and I added two new exwm key translations: C-x h being mapped to C-a, and M-f/M-b being mapped to just four arrow keys in either direction. Really what I use M-f/M-b for is just a faster C-f/C-b, and hopping four letters in each direction is good enough for that purpose. My favorite key translation I've thought of so far is C-k, which is mapped to S-<end> C-x, and works in every application I've tried.

Anyways, I feel a little bad, because
@deedend asked for a screenshot, and I promised to send some of my config upstream to guix, and then proceeded to have a lot of life events happen at me. I am still planning on submitting some merge requests a little later, but I did finally remember to make screenshots, so this is how my system looks now, built from this source code. I've also added pictures of my grub screen, login screen, and screenlock. #guix #emacs #exwm

Deseando escuchar los scripts de #ChucK en el entorno multimedia #EMMS pw-jack no encontraba chuck. Como uso #EXWM intenté usar exec-path pero es interno de #Emacs, aprendí que PATH se hereda a subprocesos. Solución: setenv PATH.

Alight, I just saw a post from @ericsfraga and now I want to try #exwm.
