When using neotree, If I split window 1 vertically, then the new window 2 is smaller than window 1 in width. Is there anyway to have window 1 evenly split vertically?

thanks @jr0cket! I came across that same github issue which made it even more confusing 😉 might be a regression then... my current workaround is to swithc to emacs-state for debugging either with C-z for the duration of debugging or with \ for next command only

Is anyone interested in helping modify the Clojure layer so that there's an option to use inf-clojure instead of CIDER? My emacs-lisp is pretty bad but I am interested in both learning it, and in shortening my toolchain

mathpunk17:05:22

Not that I don't love CIDER, but I'm contemplating a project where there's so many different places to go wrong, that it seems prudent to learn about inf-clojure, and I would want to carry over as many keybindings as possible

practicalli-johnny01:05:03

I assume you are suggesting creating an alternate Clojure layer that uses clojure-inf rather than submitting pull requests to the existing Clojure layer, as that seems quite CIDER specific and I would be weary about adding more complexity to the current Clojure layer. I would rather see CIDER have the option to use inf-Clojure and minimize customization in Spacemacs layers, but I am unsure how feasible it is. Copying the existing Clojure layer to a personal layer called closure-inf (for example) seems like a good starting place to at least try out inf-clojure as an alternative to CIDER.

mathpunk15:05:30

Well, my original suggestion was inspired by having seen layers like autocomplete with instructions for choosing your own back end. But I'm not married to that idea

mathpunk15:05:51

Your suggestion makes sense

mathpunk15:05:46

and if it works great then (1) I'll have learned more elisp and can re-evaluate the swappable concept, and (2) orchard/cider will be at some new point in their evolution

practicalli-johnny17:05:37

I think its worth keeping track of discussions in #cider and #emacs channels about inf-clojure. I would be interested in trying things out for you, to at least compare the CIDER and inf-clojure experience.

practicalli-johnny17:05:27

There is also some interest around https://github.com/snoe/clojure-lsp too... its interesting times in Clojure tooling space 🙂

cool cool, thanks!

Is toggling the help for the transient states a custom thing or is it provided by hydra?

practicalli-johnny17:05:03

Did you find any answer to your question? I had a quick look at the source code and it seemed it was a mixture of custom Spacemacs elisp and hydra.

theeternalpulse22:05:46

I did see that spacemacs defines their hydras with custom macros/functions, but didn't dive too deep. Probably going to find some time to deep dive and figure out what it's doing. I've seen some solutions using the verbosity, but I still want to display a header similar to how they do it in spacemacs

theeternalpulse17:05:26

for example for layout transient state, pressing ? will toggle the docstring
