yes!!!!!!! i should really get back into painting again. #939c00 is so cute for trailing whitespace
i have a comment from somewhere that glyphless chars can be used for text watermarking so i had them as bright red but now i have a dark orange on black with a raised 3D GUI around them
still working on making the minibuffer bigger. but i did find this great line from isearch.el:
Return point to previous successful match to allow regexp liberalization.
oh shit there's worldbuilding
;; *, ?, }, and | chars can make a regexp more liberal.
;; They can make a regexp match sooner or make it succeed instead of failing.
there's a special search method for emoji
the yank pop is so totally a dance move
iterating through the kill ring would be a crazy breakdancing/bboying move
css in sexp format!!!! https://codeberg.org/cosmicexplorer/emacs/src/commit/125b3588c9a69625aa72cb3a86c332a804d02458/lisp/isearch.el#L315-L329
(defface isearch
'((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
;; The background must not be too dark, for that means
;; the character is hard to see when the cursor is there.
(:background "magenta3" :foreground "lightskyblue1"))
(((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
(:background "palevioletred2" :foreground "brown4"))

"Face for highlighting Isearch matches."
:group 'isearch
:group 'basic-faces)
this is for highlighting search results. isearch gets the primetime ctrl-s keybinding slot and it is so good. i'm currently making its colors align with mine because you can do that because emacs is entirely about working together towards a shared purpose
apparently you can also have a header line as well as a mode line????????? literally the starship enterprise
Windows on the same frame are organized into a “window tree”, whose
leaf nodes are the live windows. The internal nodes of a window tree
are not live; they exist for the purpose of organizing the relationships
between live windows.
so crazy you can just call (window-tree)
This parameter was introduced in Emacs version 25.1 to support
applications that use large margins to center buffer text within a
window and should be used, with due care, exclusively by those
applications. It might be replaced by an improved solution in
future versions of Emacs.
most people don't make perfect decisions the first time! that's why we iterate!
turns out my emacs problems were as usual the result of absurd and truly unnecessary macro trickery
regex matching as a language feature tied with the logic you perform around regex matching is still a rly cool idea though........hoping to make it work for my vaporware shell language
