Hi, So I am really serious about using Emacs to its maximum. Today I have used it to write some actual code that has actually been committed to my work repo! One thing that makes me very! unproductive is the way Emacspeak presents indentation. It says something like indent 1 let name equals Arkadiusz This is very bad for a couple of reasons 1. I am more interested in the depth of the indent, so 1 indent, 2 indent, X-indent would be more appropriate than indent 1, indent 2, indent X. 2. I would like the program to beep up on encountering an indent, the higher the sound, the deeper the indent. Because I have an absolute pitch hearing I can use such a tool to skim through very fast. Is it configurable somewhat or I need to make my own plugin? Also below I would like to ask some random questions, which are just asked out of curiosity. 1. In my company we have a line length limit. Yeah, I can use a linter (and I probably should, and sometimes I even do), but wouldn't it be cool to have a sound and/or speech announcements when we're getting close to the margin? 2. Can I fold my code to a treeview-like structure based on indent level? When editing C/C ++, C# or Swift I would like to focus on one part of the code while having everything else neatly folded. 3. A propos making a plugin: if I want to extend the functionality of Emacspeak, is there any contributions guide? If I manage to make something useful, I'd like to give back to the community! I would like to tell you that I wasn't excited about using a computer for so long. You make me refeel a feeling which I last had 15 years ago when I started using the computer. Thank you everyone for your support, Nuno
