#emacs joke time!What do the Uruk-Hai use to schedule their invasions?orc-mode !

Column Mode in #Emacs #OrgMode is amazing. I can't believe I ignored it for a decade. It's the thing I've been missing all that time for managing tasks in OrgMode.

(In short, it allows you to display a subtree or whole Org document as a table, with columns of your choice (including summary columns), and ability to edit cells inline with context-aware commands - e.g. if you edit (e) a "Schedule" column, it pops up a date selector; if you edit TODO state, it popups TODO state selector, etc.)

#IBus, #XIM, #Emacs experts, please take a look at this - possibly inter-connected - bug and see if you can help fixing it:

#Unicode #IM #GNU #Linux

Without unpacking any tangential baggage – whatsoever –, the single greatest thing my Comp. Sci. department in college did for me was introduce me to #Emacs.

A little something I just made for #emacs #OrgMode - a bit of #EmacsLisp code to visualize dependencies between tasks, milestones, etc.

Currently it handles basic TODO states (color) parent-child relationships and org-edna blockers (ID only).

Because I keep saying that tasks tend to form graphs, not trees or lists, and it's nice to have a way to encode and visualize it.

(I have many ideas where to take this further, but progress depends mostly on my own itches to scratch.)

A reminder to everyone working with #Emacs that, as a #Lisp system, Emacs Lisp has a proper REPL available.

Hi all, this is my #introduction.I am completely new to micro blogging and social media in general.

I've been #vegan for one year now. I use exclusively #Free/#Libre software for > 6 years already. I like #hacking on #GNU/Linux and #Emacs. I'm also a mountainbiker and love #hiking.

#Emacs advice needed...

I want something that just works. I don't have time to mess with the config a whole lot. I don't want to have to watch a third-party site for security updates or have to build it on things like Raspberry Pis and ARM Chromebooks.

Doom hasn't been "just works" and is going to be less and less of it. But then, starting from scratch would take days to get to where Doom is and I don't have that kind of time either.

Help?

#Emacs advice needed...

So I could try going back to hand-edited config. But then I have to deal with a whole lot of things manually. Does everything support evil-mode? Do I give up on the awesomeness of evil-mode? And then I have to go back to hand-crafting LSP, Rust, completion (I don't even know what all the packages are for that), etc. I love things like SPC p f (find a file within a project), SPC s p (search within a project), etc. in Doom.

I need some #emacs advice.

After seeing what vscode can do, I switched from hand-built config to Doom Emacs, thinking -- rightly -- it would take me forever to get a bunch of configs set up right for Rust LSP, git, etc. I like what it does and the keybinding system.

But Doom has been a fairly buggy experience, and now broke compatibility with the version of Emacs in Debian (26.1) and intend to shortly require v27. That's a major hassle.

The #Emacs diary is telling me that today is Groundhog Day.

Now that Fall 2020 is done and gone, I'm entertaining the idea of setting up a proper custom desktop linux system. Linux Mint is nice on the laptop, but on desktop I've found it to be limiting, and I miss a proper tiling wm.

Now I'm ogling #guix / #nix but there is one thing I can't really figure out: can I use guix to build from local sources? I build #Emacs master weekly from a clone, and I'ld love to jump to #Qutebrowser 2.x. Anybody has links to tutorials example configs?

Fediverse: what tools do #Lisp programmers use in 2021? (Only OS: #Linux; editors/IDEs: #VSCode & #emacs.)

Because of this whole pandemic mess we've been ordering things - household tools, project supplies, that kind of thing - more often than ever was our habit before. I'm using a shopping / shipping list to keep track of things. #OrgMode in #emacs, of course; #git for sync between my machines, including my phone (via Termux).

I got tired of updating received orders in two places (shopping list and shipping tracker) so I learned just enough edna ( https://www.nongnu.org/org-edna-el/ ) to do it with triggers.

@jonn Surely #Emacs can do that?

:emacs:

#emacs #gnumacs

Tried a few times switching to #emacs. I still think it is aesthetically better and UI is better than vim. But it is huge and messy and just takes unreasonable time to get up and running.Like which completion "framework" to use: ido, helm, ivy (which is disguised under counsel). Same goes with project management "frameworks". At this point I have no luxury of time to try them all.
