@cnx In the world of editors, I keep going back to #vim. I'm just so used to it. evil-mode does a great job, but then there's customizations that I already have working in vim, but not #emacs.
I did make a drastic change in my desktop setup, though, I'm running #KDE with #AwesomeWM now. I also found some library to make Awesome's tags (supposedly) work like #XMonad's tags. When this laptop gets to the office with additional monitors, I can see if it makes true on that promise!
@tyil, I was comparing awesome’s Lua API to Elisp. Vim comes close, but it doesn’t do graphics. I’ve also tried to make the switch to Emacs a few years ago, and for similar reasons it didn’t happen (also Vim doesn’t need a daemon to open in a reasonable time).
BTW how do XMonad’s tags differ from that of awesome?
@cnx#XMonad's default is a single tagset, with each tag being independent of any monitor. Additionally, when you switch to a tag that is currently shown on another monitor, these tags will swap. I find it to be the most convenient means of handling tags on a multi-monitor setup.
For what it's worth, the library I found, Charitable, has proven to work reliably well on my worklaptop, and my secondary laptop. I would certainly recommend trying it out if you want to experience the Ultimate™ way of handling tags.
@tyil, on desktop I have a full HD monitor and a 3440x1440 which I split into a 1920x1440 and the rest. Each screen tends to have 4-5 tags so there’s not enough intuitive bindings for switching were the tags are flat.
