in projectile is there a way to exclude folders for grepping, kind of the complement of projectile-grep-default-files?

@dpsutton: hmm, guess I was wrong

seems we don’t load the middleware at all on unsupported Clojure versions

and i thought we tried to load it and it exploded

we should probably change the first message to something more descriptive in the absence of the middleware

as right now it sounds pretty odd

@richiardiandrea: ignored folders won’t be grepped

I don’t remember if we had anything extra for grep in particular

but I think we don't

@bozhidar: yes but what if I don't want to ignore the folder..just to avoid grepping? I know it is a weird use case and in my specific case I am using helm-ag so I might actually look into that

the pull request is on github for cider re: clojure version. I originally was searching project.clj/build.boot for clojure version in case the middleware didn't work but now i'm just exec-ing (clojure-version) and checking that against a newly defined cider-minimum-clojure-version

@dpsutton: I went over it and I’ve added some comments

yeah i've already updated them but it seems to not be seeing that info

i'm not sure where that cider--connection-info function is called, but the nrepl info seems to be there but the clojure version is not

ah crap

its not there for the same reason that the nrepl version info isn't there

because its broken with old versions of clojure

actually, its not seeing the info even with 1.8.0

let me keep looking

nevermind. stale version of a function laying around interned. all is well

its fine now

thanks to both you and malabarba for all of the pointers and patience. can't wait for the next work. think its gonna be when missing a build system, don't display "argument error stringp" in the message minibuffer

Hello everybody. Just trying emacs for the first time. I have a problem with alt as meta key. When I try to enter someting like [] or {} I have to use alt. But then the Meta key is triggered and a command is executed. I have the super key mapped to Capslock. Can I map the Meta key to this key?

@danielgrosse: why do you need to use alt to enter [] or {}? Are you using a non-US keyboard layout?

Yes. { is typed with alt+8 for example

I guess it also depends on your physical keyboard - e.g. on a Mac keyboard I map Cmd to Meta and leave Alt/Option as Alt

I see - what sort of (physical) keyboard layout do you have? Is there another key you could map to Meta instead of the Alt key, so you can keep using Alt to enter characters?

I have now mapped the right alt to nil, so I get the system commands. Lets see if this works

That's odd. System mappings usually happen before Emacs ever gets to see them. So if your system inserts { on Alt-8 then Emacs should just see the {.
