ERC Flipping Buffers On the subject of simple keybinds, here's another one: Are you on IRC? Do you use ERC in Emacs as your client? Well, if so, you're in luck! If you're like me, you probably are in a lot of channels and going through all of your channels can be a little bit of a pain. No, it's not because Emacs is a pain, but flipping through them quickly in the same buffer/window is kinda a…
My Universal Keybind Okay, I'm finally getting around to writing this because so many people have asked me about it: I have a "universal keybind" set. I stole it from Prot, so you can thank him. He uses C-z, last I checked, but I changed it to C-q, and I'll explain why: So, why C-q? And what the heck are you talking about? I'm glad you asked! Okay: There's a lot of commands I use in Emacs for org…
EWW No! Not ewwwwwwwww! But EWW (or eww). It's the text browser which comes in Emacs, and it's fantastic for quickly reading articles and doing even more than that. Recently, I started using it every day. Here's a quick summary of how I work: I am reading something in Safari (usually I get it from RSS). I see a wall of text and I want to send it to Emacs instead for better viewing.
I figured out a way to explain it Earlier today, I figured out how to explain my use of tabs in Emacs to Emacs users who don't use them and wonder why they're useful. It's simple: Think of tabs as different kinds of desktops. They can be full screen desktops, or split into different buffers. That's one way of looking at it. So you end up with a set of Emacs "desktops" which are even saved when you…
Yes! It's a new theme! Yes! I have a new theme. I'm still working on it. The reason was that as cool and awesome as blowfish is, it's a pain to update. It's finicky and has its own system of doing things. This is confusing to me. I'm blonde. Sue me. So I opted for something simpler which is much easier to update. I'm still figuring out how to customize it more, but for now it'll do.
It's a project! But with censoring. A few days ago, I started a thread on the Emacs Devel mailing list after asking some questions on Reddit. It led me to starting the project myself: The Emacs Welcome Newbie Screen. What I want is for the screen to be linked to the front welcome screen of Emacs with a big: —> New Emacs User? Click here! <— at the top of the screen.
After coming home, I started reviewing Prot's progress with the hut this morning. I saw his video post about a pomegranate tree which had mysteriously sprouted. Also, I saw him working like crazy to build this hut. So, after putting some odd links together in my head, I came up with the following screenplay. 🙃 I wrote this really fast so I hope it comes across as okay. Zeus and Prot - A…
All my server stuff in Emacs Today, I wanted to tidy up some stuff on my server. I had a ton of photos and videos I wanted to organize on my servers. Also, it was getting a little messy with my old way of doing the directories because I had set it up before I had learned how to do most of the things that I know how to do.
This is the story of how I came to use Emacs and other things I'm tired of repeating myself so I'm writing this down so I don't have to. You're probably only here if you asked me how I came to learn about Emacs and the CLI and other things. Well, this is the story: It begins with a Pandemic. The Pandemic. Yes, that one. I know it's a long time ago now for most people, but that's where it starts.
Emacs in Pink is your Friend. An explanation of how I use Emacs I'm honoured that you all have invited me to share my thoughts, and I especially appreciate the $50,000 advanced speakers' fee. A lot of people have asked me to write down how I use Emacs because they're curious how I use it every day since about a year. First thing you should know: I'm not a programmer.
