I just want to say... thank god for winner-mode 🙂 . winner-undo is a must for not missing minutes and hours of shuffling windows around.

never used it before -- do you have some favorite commands from it to recommend?

apart from winner-undo, that is 🙂

ah, the only other command is winner-redo

indeed, minimalism is one of the features haha. Only redo and undo is available

when it comes to windows there's also the rotate package that helps move windows between frames and change layouts. Still learning how to use it

i appreciate there only being a few commands -- am more likely to try it out 🙂

Hey! I’m trying to make emacs my main editor (switching from vsc). At work I currently use JS/typescript so I wanted to setup some syntax highlighting etc. I found that there are supposed to be packages like company-mode and typescrip-mode that I should install, but when I M-x and package-install or packages-list, these packages aren’t available to be installed. Why could that be? My init has these ->

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("tromey" . "") t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "") t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "") t)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("marmalade" . "") t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa2" . "") t)

(add-to-list 'package-pinned-packages '(cider . "melpa-stable") t)
(add-to-list 'package-pinned-packages '(magit . "melpa-stable") t)
(package-initialize)

so did you do 'U' (M-x package-menu-mark-upgrades) in the *Packages* buffer?

fwiw, typescript-mode and company show up here in at least melpa and melpa-stable

:thinking_face: I didn’t do the step you mentioned, let me see.

fwiw, when i first to M-x package-list-packages, the list of things doesn't appear to fully populate immediately.

Ah…I shouldn’t have looked for typescript-mode but just typescript instead?

here there is a typescript-mode -- i don't see something that is just typescript

Super weird.

btw, what is your emacs version?

26.3 (I’m on osx)

ok, that's the same -- i asked because typescript-mode has a requires here of emacs-24.3

Do you mind sharing your packages setup from init?

just a moment

Maybe there’s something messed up in my config.

i have the following defined in my init.el and i call it in the same file

fwiw: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24833964/package-listed-in-melpa-but-not-found-in-package-install

also: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/2490/package-install-reports-no-match

I tried the code snippet you sent but am getting an error Invalid read syntax: . in wrong context

hmm...i'll double-check in the mean time, the last answer at the emacs stackexchange link might be worth a look

i copy-pasted:

(defun package-settings ()
  (use-package package
    :config
    (package-initialize) ; XXX: wasn't getting full list of packages otherwise
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("melpa" . ""))
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("lambdaisland" . "") t)
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("melpa-stable" . ""))
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("replique" .
         "") t)))

ah, if you don't have use-package, i guess it might not work

in any case, if you just use the parts after :config (with some suitable delimiter removal at the end) it should work.

👍 working on it

(package-initialize) ; XXX: wasn't getting full list of packages otherwise
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("melpa" . ""))
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("lambdaisland" . "") t)
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("melpa-stable" . ""))
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
      '("replique" .
	"") t)

fwiw, that worked here via emacs -q

bbiab

Dunno lol, I copied your config, I went through the advices in link you posted and still can’t get the correct results.

Nevermind, I will try and dig into it more later. Thank you for your assistance anyway @sogaiu

@peb.brzezinski hope it can work out for you before long
