How to disable packages that Radian loads #475

Closed haji-ali closed 2 years ago

haji-ali commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to disable packages that Radian loads without modifying Radian?

For example, I want to disable undo-tree (too buggy) and use the simpler undo-fu in my config. It would be even better if I can set up Radian so as not to clone/build undo-tree at all.

(PS: Sorry for the many questions. I am switching my setup to use more "pure" Emacs packages like selectrum, ctrlf, embark and consult, and I appreciate that Radian makes it easy.)

Unfortunately, there is no general mechanism for doing this at present. I think a reasonable way to do it would be, for each such package, introduce a user option analogous to radian-color-theme-enable (which currently does what you describe for zerodark-theme). It might be desirable to do it this way, in fact, because by curating the set of user options, we can make sure that disabling a package also disables all dependent packages and other configuration that might break when the package is disabled.

Yeah, I think a variable like radian-features containing a list of packages that Radian can use, and corresponding :if statements in all the use-package and use-feature statements would do the trick.

That sounds reasonable. I like the idea of a list more than individual variables, I think.
