#emacs

before emacs lisp package archives were a thing, i learned a lot about emacs and elisp because reading the code was a natural part of installing, configuring and using a package. i like the automation and ease of installation, but i feel like something intimate is lost...

#emacs

i had to roll back to emacs v28.2 on osx (ventura). magit on v29.1-1 was super-slow and, generally, frames would unpredictably lock up and stop accepting input. it's not even obvious where i'd report this issue...

#emacs

@toddsundsted I used to share your pain - and then I unbound that key-binding (why would you want to exit #Emacs anyway?). And besides, there's always M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs if you really do want to escape for some reason 😬

after all these years it still amazes me how often i fat-finger ^X^C and accidentally exit emacs...

#emacs

looking into org-roam.

#emacs #orgmode

i'm reading through the entire org-mode manual. i've used it for years—it's time to master it.

org-mode has excellent support for handling links to other documents, both local and remote. in addition to a rich vocabulary of link types, if you're in a document—for example, a source code file—and you want to insert a link to a definition in that document into an org document you are working on, you use org-store-link to create a link to that definition—the type of link created depends on the type of document in the current buffer. you insert the stored link into the org document with  org-insert-link. this works for most common emacs buffers (org, email/news, etc.).

#emacs #orgmode

i have code in .emacs going back decades...

#emacs

i'm just going to read all of the documentation on org-mode. like a lot of emacs-based tooling, i've picked it up piecemeal over years of use. the more i learn the more i realize it could do more if i invested time in learning more. so i'm going in...

maybe next i'll read the documentation on magit. same story...
