It's a fun journey and I barely consider myself "advanced beginner" after my spirit quest to start from no emacs config and build a replacement for my vim setup.

Here's a WIP documented version of what I'm running in case any of it helps Sishaar! github.com/chadhs/dotfiles/blob/ma...

Hey Chad! I definitely agree that it's a fun (albeit slightly painful) journey, but once you use it every day, it's almost impossible to stop! I'm super interested in the Emoji/Unicode Support modification that you included - I have some emojis that can show up on my Emacs instance, but does that mod go beyond that?

Awesome to hear! Yes that mod will prompt you to download a local cache of images to support additional emoji. It's especially useful on the Mac as Emacs on the Mac appears to not display any emoji by default.
