Trying New Emacs Packages by Minad

• Rational Emacs has received a lot of contributions! Will review this weekend
• We’ll be starting up some game development projects on Flux Harmonic next week!
  • https://youtube.com/FluxHarmonicLive // https://twitch.tv/FluxHarmonicLive
• Next EFS video: setting key bindings and creating your own prefixes

Apparently Daniel Mendler (minad), creator of Vertico, Consult, and more, has been very busy creating a bunch of new packages!

Let’s try some out today and see if we like them:

• cape - https://github.com/minad/cape
• tempel - https://github.com/minad/tempel
• tab-bookmark - https://github.com/minad/tab-bookmark
• goggles - https://github.com/minad/goggles
• org-modern - https://github.com/minad/org-modern

If we don’t get through all of these, we may try the rest in another stream soon!

Here’s what we built on stream today:

(use-package corfu
  ;; Optional customizations
  :custom
  (corfu-cycle t)                ;; Enable cycling for `corfu-next/previous'
  (corfu-auto t)                 ;; Enable auto completion
  (corfu-preview-current nil)    ;; Disable current candidate preview
  (corfu-echo-documentation t) ;; Disable documentation in the echo area
  (corfu-scroll-margin 5)        ;; Use scroll margin
  :init
  (corfu-global-mode))

(use-package kind-icon
  :ensure t
  :after corfu
  :custom
  (kind-icon-default-face 'corfu-default) ; to compute blended backgrounds correctly

  (add-to-list 'corfu-margin-formatters #'kind-icon-margin-formatter))
