Anyone here using/used Deft? Running into an issue with Deft showing multiple entries after a note is modified. I’m going to do some searches later but I figured I’d query here as well.

akiva15:08:14

It clears up if I do deft-refresh but I’d rather not have to do that after each edit.

emacsforosx is not exactly the same as brew install emacs —with-cocoa

chris19:08:15

for one, it has much smoother scrolling, but I had problems with it hijacking my option key and using it as a compose rather than meta

chris19:08:38

so M-a would give å

chris19:08:14

so, I went back to regular brew emacs on —devel

radon19:08:30

(You probably know this, but that’s functionality provided by OSX, not emacsormacosx.)

chris19:08:49

I just couldn’t figure out how to turn it off and I never really tried

chris19:08:14

brew emacs was good enough ¯\(ツ)

radon19:08:02

Hm. I use emacsformacosx, and I didn’t have to configure anything to get Meta to work properly. I wonder why it doesn’t work for you.

radon19:08:08

Oh, well. ¯\(ツ)

chris19:08:41

I think I was supposed to do something like (setq mac-option-key ‘meta) or something, but oh well

radon19:08:15

I haven’t done anything of that sort—of course, if you use a terminal emulator, you have to tell it to interpret Alt as Meta.

radon19:08:21

With the GUI version you shouldn’t have to do that.

akiva19:08:23

Which one of those is the railwaycat one? That’s the version that has worked best for me.

chris19:08:38

railwaycat is emacsforosx

akiva19:08:59

Ah. That one has been most reliable.

akiva19:08:40

For awhile, it was incredibly crashy but I think that might have been Spacemacs.

radon19:08:29

I’ve never had any problems with emacsformacosx—it worked right out of the box for me, but YMMV.

akiva19:08:32

Yeah, I assume it was Spacemacs. I got into that early on and it was a bit of a beast until 1.0.
