A small #Emacs #OrgMode quality-of-life tweak. I often need to replace an org heading's title while preserving the original text in the body. The problem is that pressing enter on a heading inserts a line above the properties drawer, which breaks things. Here's a function that moves the heading title into the body (below the properties drawer and metadata), and binds it to S-RET: (defun …

A small elisp snippet that I found useful. I often switch between terminals and #Emacs, and they have slightly different behaviors for C-w. This makes it behave the same in Emacs as it does in bash/zsh/fish etc - deletes the last word. It retains the kill-region behavior if a region is actually selected. (defun kill-region-or-backward-word () "If the region is active and non-empty, call …

tramp-hlo looks interesting. Anything that can make tramp on #Emacs snappier is a good thing in my books.

Quick note for me to generate #Emacs TAGS file for an #Erlang project: find {src,apps,_build/default,$(dirname $(which erl))/../lib} -name "*.[he]rl" | xargs realpath --relative-to="$(pwd)" | etags.emacs -o TAGS - The relative path ensures that this works over tramp as well.

Reply to Issues · Hanno Perrey / khalel · GitLab Ability to pass options (before command) to vdirsyncer Hi. I've been using khalel + khal + vdirsyncer for the last few days, and it has been an absolute joy. I tried various ways of working with my work calendar in my org system, and this has been the best in terms of stability and simplicity. However, in my setup, vdirsyncer shows a lots of …

Read Jeremy's post on quickly switching the default browser. I had a shell script to do this as well. Doing it from Emacs makes more sense because I can have a completion UI. So, here's my modified version for Linux: (defun sj/default-browser (&optional name) "Set the default browser based on the given NAME." (interactive (list (completing-read "Browser: " (split-string …

Reply to Obsidian Kirby Sync Nice. Now I want to make something like this for Emacs. Also note that micropub is not just meant for publishing, it's also possible to view and edit posts and query for a list of posts, list of tags/categories (and create/edit them), and manage media (images etc). See https://indieweb.org/Micropub and https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions But of course, …

Reply to xenodium.com is now hosted at lmno.lol Looks good. I noticed some issues though: The post links in your RSS feed are incorrect. The link to lmno.lol is also incorrect on your homepage. The new RSS feed does not have GUIDs (your earlier feed had). So, in my feed reader, all your posts are showing up as unread.

Read an interesting set of posts today: https://lethain.com/extract-the-kernel/ and https://lethain.com/executive-translation/ . The basic concept is: ... executives are generally directionally correct but specifically wrong, and it’s your job to understand the overarching direction without getting distracted by the narrow errors in their idea. This resonates well with my experience. I have been …
