FAQPage Schema

How do I set up Emacs with Vim keybindings and debugging?▼

You can configure Emacs with Vim keybindings by installing the provided initialization file into your home directory, which enables Evil mode and DAP-mode debugging integration automatically upon loading Emacs.

Does Emacs DAP-mode debugging work with vscode-php-debug?▼

Yes, Emacs DAP-mode debugging integrates directly with the vscode-php-debug extension. You must install the vscode-php-debug extension under the ~/.yadrlite/emacs.d/.extension/ directory to enable breakpoint and step-through workflows.

Can I use this Emacs configuration without the YADRLite environment?▼

Yes, you can use this Emacs configuration standalone without the full YADRLite environment by placing the initialization file directly into your home directory to load Evil mode and project search workflows independently.

What are the requirements for Emacs DAP debugging and project search setup?▼

Emacs DAP debugging and project search setup requires Emacs 27.2 or higher with Lua support enabled, and expects the vscode-php-debug extension installed under the ~/.yadrlite/emacs.d/.extension/ directory for PHP debugging workflows.

Why is my Evil mode Emacs configuration not loading the fuzzy file finder?▼

If the fuzzy file finder is not loading, verify the Emacs initialization file is correctly placed in your home directory so Emacs can properly load the project-wide search and directory search keybindings on startup.
