in emacs, is there a way to show all the kill buffer contents?

@qqq do you mean the list of buffers which kill-buffer prompts to kill?

no; maybe I am using the wrong terms

when I delete stuff, like delete word, delete region, delete line

all the things I delte get stuffed into some ring right?

I'd like to dedicate a buffer to dedicate to the contents of this ring

maybe https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BrowseKillRing

@qqq I use browse-kill-ring for that http://melpa.org/#/browse-kill-ring https://github.com/tanzoniteblack/dotemacs/blob/master/init.el#L647

There is also helm-show-kill-ring (I personally bind it to M-y). I’m sure ivy/counsel has something similar

I have js2-mode on in my json files...unfortunately it seems that indent-line-function gets hijacked by js-mode

is there a way to get around that? (`add-hook` does not work)

@richiardiandrea interesting js2-indent-line is just an alias for js-indent-line. I can’t imagine that a (setf indent-line-function ... ) would not work in an add-hook though…

oh really

separately, is there something js2-mode gives that json-mode doesn’t? (I know that wasn’t your question, but I tried js2-mode in a json buffer and there were false errors galore)

well, i need to investigate why, maybe the problem is elsewhere...I am setting js2-base-offest in the hook but probably I need to set something else then

@cmack I actually use json-mode AND js2-mode now, they play well together but my goal was to disable js2-mode in .json files

they play together...until they don't 😄

wait, both of those are major modes aren’t they?

oh

that is why something was not working correctly 😄

so js2-mode in taking over...need to find how to disable it for .json files

@cmack so now I am using json-mode and (setq js-indent-level 2) solved my formatting issues thanks!
