Lightweight syntax checker for Emacs, alternative of flymake-mode
.
It’s does less CPU computing and costs less memory than its rivals.
In below screenshot, this program is tested in both Emacs 26 and Emacs 25 (left side is Emacs 26, right side is Emacs 25),
Place *.el
under Load Path. Then add (require 'lazyflymake)
to your configuration.
This program is based on flymake
API. So your existing configuration for flymake
still works.
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'lazyflymake-start)
By default, flymake-mode
is turned on in lazyflymake-start
. You could keep using all the commands from flymake.
Use lazyflymake-goto-next-error
and lazyflymake-goto-prev-error
to locate errors.
There is also a lightweight mode which does not use flymake-mode
.
Enable it by insert extra one line set up,
(setq lazyflymake-flymake-mode-on nil)
So flymake-mode
is not turned on by lazyflymake-start
automatically.
The syntax check happens if and only if current buffer is saved.
An extra command lazyflymake-list-errors
is provided in lightweight mode.
Please note this program also set up flymake for Shell script, Emacs Lisp, and Lua automatically.
- Shellcheck is required to check shell script
- Lua executable is required to check Lua code
- MISS_HIT is required to check octave/matlab code
- Tidy is require to check html code
- Customize
lazyflymake-ignore-error-function
to ignore errors extracted from linter output.
