The zoom level can be read by the website and used for fingerprinting, so some browsers see it as a privacy issue to preserve it across visits. Firefox supports both, but the default is to preserve it, I think.
What? Can the browser not just… not tell the website?

How do you configure tmux such that the keybindings does not conflict with emacs? To use them together, did you change your tmux keybindings, or emacs keybindings, or both? Do you mind sharing your keybindings? As a long time tmux and vim user, I picked up emacs just so I could use org-mode, and installed evil-mode. I have been using GUI emacs but I'd love to use emacs in tmux. In tmux I had been using C-a as the pre…
So, I do this also (mostly for keeping things running on remote systems), and I just mostly use Emacs within tmux. The only annoying part is needing to hit C-b twice to move one space backwards. I really should remap the tmux keys, but at this point I'm used to it.
Update: Well it does the same thing even when I run emacs in terminal, without tmux. It looks like I may need to configure iTerm2 to interpret C-RET properly? I am not sure.
Update 2: C-RET sends a return https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/1897. How are folks getting around this limitation?

I feel like it’s pretty safe to say https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs mostly solves of these concerns for Vim users in 2020. If you really can’t spend any time learning a few help keys then I guess I can’t recommend anything, but you’re here commenting so I bet you have some time :). Seriously, check out Doom, whether you use neovim, Emacs, VS Code, or nano (Doom has quite good Emacs and CUA bindings as well). I…
> I feel like it’s pretty safe to say https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs mostly solves of these concerns for Vim users in 2020 I use both doom emacs and neovim, and I'd say: not really, at least not for me, there are some Vim features evil doesn't emulate properly, or at least it doesn't work like in Vim. Off the top of my head, I write in many languages, but absolutely hate the US international keyboard for acce…

I would say the Emacs user mindshare has shifted somewhat to Doom. There are a lot of Doom fans on r/emacs now, and the Discord is huge compared to what it was. Many new contributors are cropping up. Even some developers of well-known packages, like org-roam, have switched to Doom. Take it from him, not me! https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/migrating_to_doom_emacs/ Compared to Spacemacs, which has complex abstraction lay…
Jethro moved from a custom init.el to Doom, though, not Spacemacs to Doom :)

Dude, `M-x custom-set-variable RET confirm-kill-emacs RET TAB`
Or just unbind it, you won't typo `M-x kill-emacs`...
One begins to understand the advantages of this approach after 10-15 years or so. I feel that I am constantly being forced into new "UI paradigms", and it isn't always a change for the better. I started with DOS (Norton Commander, anyone? to this day there is no comparable tool), then Windows 3.0 and 3.1 (which was mostly garbage and I did not enjoy the UI at all). I then started using Linux and discovered Emacs. Whe…
> Norton Commander, anyone? to this day there is no comparable tool Directory Opus. I've used it for nearly 30 years. First thing I install on Windows.

You're excluding pretty much every laptop there.
Thinkpads group their function keys. Who outside apple doesn't?
And in line with the other commenters, my corporate HP and Dell laptop function keys aren't grouped. Fortunately, I interact with both through a nice external keyboard.

I don't know. People keep saying that Emacs can work nice in terminals, but there's a specific bot-macro in the #emacs channel on Freenode: : ,terminal fsbot [->] I heard terminals are [0] Terminals do weird thing to your keyboard input: http://catern.com/posts/terminal_quirks.html fsbot [1] Terminals have limitations compared to the graphical windows; it's advisable to use "graphical" Emacs unless one has a good rea…
Yes, there are many GUI Emacs fans on #emacs, and one of them obviously happened to set up this bot message. But not everyone agrees that GUI Emacs is better. Though terminals definitely have their quirks and limitations, they have some advantages over GUI Emacs. For example, I have my Emacs configuration geared towards terminal use, and use it from within tmux. Because of this I never have to fear losing my Emacs se…
For me it's not even possible in a TTY.
