load a bundle at runtime #128

Closed senny closed 12 years ago

senny commented 12 years ago

I've experienced a couple of situations where I needed a bundle, that was not in my startup configuration of e-max. Since these are rare cases I normally don't want to edit my configuration just for the sake of having the bundle available in one session.

It would be nice if there was an interactive e-max function to load a bundle on demand:

e-max-load-bundle

I usually do this with M-: -> (e-max-bundle 'irc). Isn't that enough? Or do you need a ido-style thing?

senny commented 12 years ago

I too used this method in the past. I think it's very nice to just spin up a bundle when you need it. This let's you be restrictive with your initial configuration. I have something in mind with a bundle name completion mechanism and of course it must be interactive.

@senny I've made e-max-bundle interactive, it's quite simple :)

@jone to improve the codebase we should work with pull-requests to add new features. This ensures that we have a better distribution of know-how and have a place to adjust before things are in master.
