That did the trick! Thank you @U0124C56J5R

Why eglot instead of lsp-server?

It felt more emacsy than lsp-mode. Maybe that’s because I had lsp-ui or something, though, and it’s unrelated to lsp-mode itself. In any case, I like eglot ’s defaults and I enjoy it being so minimal and unobtrusive. But both are great. Note that jumping to definition does not work for external dependencies in eglot yet.

Additionally, using eglot was part of an experiment of creating my own config and using small packages. I stopped using doom-emacs (which is great, btw) and started my own config, used vertico, corfu with no automatic completion instead of company, eglot, inf-clojure instead of cider etc. I enjoyed the result.

Interesting I would love to see a demo of this. Did you do it because you want a cleaner and more minimalistic setup that just works? Or did you get some extra functionality also?

> Did you do it because you want a cleaner and more minimalistic setup that just works? Yeap, that sums it up well. Fewer moving parts. Simpler and intentionally dumber. By far, the biggest difference is using inf-clojure (socket repl) instead of cider(nrepl). I think my workflow doesn’t have anything exceptional, it’s just using a repl. Sean Corfield has a few good videos. He’s not using Emacs but he uses a socket repl as well. Here’s my current config: https://github.com/Andre0991/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.el

@U976F1AR2 Just a question -Why do you use Corfu if you dont have an automatic completion for Clojure? Just because of elisp?

Feel free to ask. corfu gets Clojure completions with LSP

Hmph, I am trying eglot right now - that works. Corfu works for me in elisp buffer (or eshell). But i dont get any completion with eglot + corfu in clj buffer. This is my config.

(use-package eglot
      :ensure t)

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)

(use-package corfu
         :config 
         (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'corfu-mode)
         (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'corfu-mode)
          (with-eval-after-load 'corfu
              (setq corfu-auto nil)
              (define-key corfu-map (kbd "SPC") #'corfu-insert-separator)))

And i misunderstood your message https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C099W16KZ/p1648065929668689?thread_ts=1647786473.842079&cid=C099W16KZ where you say “no automatic completion”

Oh, sorry for the confusion. I meant ‘no automatic completion’ in the sense that the completions list does not show up automatically. I have to press tab in order to show them. This is corfu’s default behaviour, by the way. It’s customizable.

Ah, tab doesnt work for me in clojure buffer (no cider or infer installed yet). Both processes are running. Strange. Otherwise - this minimalistic setup seems great for my 2019 i3 macbook

Nice, good to hear that. On having tab to get completions in Clojure, I think having eglot connected to the clojure-lsp server should be enough. As the config has

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)

It does, lsp works great. I just dont see any corfu integration. It will be some silly mistake probably on my side. Thanks

Ive got it… It is mapped to meta+tab in clojure. Btw. i am looking at your vilpy package - would you use it with evil?

It can be used with evil. The README has some elisp for preventing some bindings shadowing. I don’t use evil nowadays, though. When I used lispy/`vilpy` with evil, I mostly stayed in insert mode when editing lisps.
