Clojurians Log v2

Yes, the focus thing is something I’ve been meaning to fix forever - I’ll look to do that now. Hiding the input area (possibly even by default) is also something I’ve considered, especially once I get inline evaluation done - I’m working on that now, but I’ve had to have a detour to work on my website.

There’s a very indignant (with good reason!) issue in the tracker which I have assigned to the current milestone about the focus issue: https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/1579

@tony.kay iirc you can press esc to return back to the main editor. In fact, if you’re in any of the editors (project, structure, lein, etc.), pressing ESC will return you back to the main editor (the one that you write code with)

Is there some way to make your run configuration automatically use deps aliases selected in deps tab?

This requires me to name every single alias, and it might be out of sync with what I have selected in my deps tab

@roklenarcic 'run with intellij classpath'

why is that some namespace aliases don't show their symbols in autocomplete ?

Thanks, I guess in the past I was using it in a way that didn’t work for me

I think I sometimes need to do a 'refresh deps projects' after changing what's ticked in the list for ij to pick those changes up

Does anybody know if there’s a way to “cycle” through a number of commands in IntelliJ ?

(I know there’s specific commands to cycle through some items, but I think a generic “cycle” that is you define can be useful)

like a macro?

if it's the same n commands you want to cycle through in the same order, then you could record a macro

Yes, I know macros, but they always run all the commands from start to finish. As I typed this, I realized it’s probably harder to implement in practice that I initially thought.

My idea was to replicate the “Alt+Tab” experience in say, MacOS where it jumps to the previous active window.

For example, if you cycle: “Jump to REPL Editor” “Focus Editor” … you’d be able to assign one shortcut to those and that would be convenient. But I realize that it’s hard to do, because IntelliJ has to keep the state of where the focus is at the moment.

Not “hard” but not super trivial like I thought for the first 30 seconds 🙂

there's a Jump to Last Tool Window command

and esc puts you back in the editor

if that's your usecase

Oh, I know 🙂

The Escape is too annoying to hit because of Apple keyboard decisions 😂 (first world problems)

I guess I hit my limit of knowledge then 🙂

but I also think esc can be rebound to something more convenient

I tried that, for some reason it does not work reliably (at all?)

For example, if I add an additional shortcut in Keymap for “Escape” it actually doesn’t jump back to source, for example. So it’s weird.

Hence my “cycle shortcuts” idea 😆

gotcha

In any case, I added two different shortcuts, CMD+1, CMD+2 for those two commands. It works fine.

I am just complaining. Back to work! 🙂

Not sure it’ll help you, but I use Find Action for tasks like this all the time. I hit command-shift-a to bring it up, type a few letters to select the command, and hit return. Much faster than using the mouse.

@pshapiro For sure. I try to eliminate most mouse “activity”.

In actions that I do on a daily/hourly basis.

Has anybody here switched from emacs/vim to cursive? What did you like more?

I switched from emacs when cursive first came out. never going back 😛

What made you stay with cursive or move out of emacs?

got tired of my emacs config breaking and having to configure every little thing manually

cursive just works and does what I want

(I also have used IntelliJ for many years before in my Java days so it was an easy choice)

I guess I’m in a similar position as you back then, thank you for your feedback
