@doglooksgood the thing to google for is "Multiple Major Modes", there are a few packages around that try to do this, with varying levels of success.

i have never tried myself but i think org mode can do something like this...

org-mode does some context-aware highlighting indeed

(setq org-src-fontify-natively t)

@plexus thanks, I'll check this repo

hi all, i have a emacs nob question

what do you use for searching the word under the cursor ?

e.g

(defn create-rocket-msg-trigger []
  (t/build

check out loccur mode

i use it constantly. will collapse the buffer down to only lines which match the term under point

sound promising cool ! thx

just to throw in the spacemacs solution.... M-* (spacemacs/enter-ahs-forward) ;; search symbol under point current buffer M-m * (spacemacs/helm-project-smart-do-search-region-or-symbol) ;; search symbol under point project wide with silversearcher

What do you guys use as a completion tool? I tried company but wasn’t super happy about it

I use company, I just turn off the delay and manually trigger it with C-SPC. What don't you like about it?

The delay is the most annoying thing! I’ll give it a second try by triggering it manually

I agree, here's my setup

(use-package company
    :config
    (setq company-idle-delay nil)
    (define-key global-map (kbd "C-SPC") #'company-complete)
    (define-key company-active-map (kbd "<return>") nil)
    (define-key company-active-map (kbd "RET") nil)
    (define-key company-active-map (kbd "TAB") #'company-complete-selection))

this is my work machine, at home I have C-SPC as both the complete and complete-selection

that way tab can stay the way it is

it causes confusion when switching between my work and home machine, but it can be whatver is comfortable for you
