RE: https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/116503658915086513
Nowadays, I almost never use a separate terminal as I cover all my use cases with vterm/eshell inside #emacs. While vterm is good, it has some quite rough edges here and there.
Recently, I was playing with #ghostty and it was super performant, standard complaint and just felt really nice. I guess ghostel can become my goto choice, when we properly package ghostty for #Guix.
I'm really glad to find this project, thanks to @daviwil for boosting the post 👇
Music to my ears! I love it when there’s a tectonic shift like this in my #emacs
The shell is such a core part of my workflow and it sounds like this will smooth that experience!

I have just released Compat 31.0.0.0. The emacs-31 branch cut is imminent and the stabilization for the release will start now. If you start to rely on Compat 31 in your packages, please be aware that functions can still change until the actual release of Emacs 31.1. Please report any problems you encounter.

@schuemaa Gah, the Canvas API. I have not been able to wrap my brain around it. At the beginning of every term I WASTE SO MUCH TIME reconfiguring three new courses by hand, click click click, when I know it principle it could be automated.
Please share a repository showing some examples!
Meanwhile, check out this guy's approach to quizzes:
For anyone interested in publishing an Emacs package on GNU or NonGNU ELPA, we just added a page on how to do that and what to keep in mind: https://elpa.gnu.org/contributing.html
If anything is not clear, please reach out! My hope is that this document can help clarify some of the misconceptions around ELPA and demystify the process.
@marlinz008 I thought about such an experiment as well with one very particular use-case: mobile capture.
I was using #Orgzly Revived which has its issues with larger Orgdown files and this overcomplicated sync cascade causing Syncthing conflicts all the time.
I was using it for read-only access to my Orgdown files + mobile capture in one inbox file.
Then I started with #Orgro in parallel just for the capture process so that I don't rely on Orgzly's ultra slow sync process to finish on each capture.
Since Orgro has very weird behavior with shared content (basically I wrote Elisp functions to fix the format for all different kinds of capture content types), I thought about vibe-coding my first Android app just for the capture process in a text file in the format I want.
Not high on my prio list. Let's see how that goes. #ClaudeCode is removing features or adding very annoying stuff so I might as well end up with no proper #AI to do this.

Emacs 31 will be cut in one week (7th of May?): https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87zf2k5m0c.fsf@zephyr.silentflame.com/T/#u
If anyone has any outstanding patches, feature requests or non-trivial bugs, please ping the bug reports!
(I am planning to prepare a video demonstrating package.el-related features some time soon afterwards, to motivate people to try the non-negligable number of features we have added since Emacs 30 and submit bugs if encountered.)
Yes, Emacs is quite capable of doing multi-file refactoring. You can do this and live to tell the tale.

I made a tool that automates producing classroom handouts. Distributing worksheets is hugely beneficial as an orienting task to prompt discussion in courses of all sizes.
Makes Org docs that produce nice PDFs. Hope someone finds it useful!

@kentpitman Thanks for posting this. This seems especially notable as 2026 is the 50 year mark for #Emacs.

Could your recommend a source of good wallpapers? or some particular cool ones?
Usually, I have plain gray background and light high contrast color schemes in terminal, browser and text editor. I want to experiment with transparency and (probably) dark color scheme, as light doesn't play well with opacity.
My first attempt: it looks nice-ish, but I feel much more strain on the eyes. Maybe I can workaround with better #wallpaper?

@simon_brooke #Emacs is like #transubstantiation: hugely absorbing to a tiny minority of fundamentalist keyboarders/believers, but an irrelevance to the majority of computists/christians.
A rare example of somebody switching from #Emacs to #vim:
"I have officially retired from Emacs"
https://nullprogram.com/blog/2026/04/26/
As a vim user myself, I can totally relate to the editing part of the experience. However, I can't agree on the rest as my Emacs is not just an editor: https://karl-voit.at/2015/10/23/Emacs-is-not-just-an-editor
and: https://karl-voit.at/2026/01/23/Emacs-vs-vim-Cargo-Folding-Bike
However, we can be grateful that there are so many cool tools to choose from.

@ajayiyer No, that's perfectly fine.
Any tool can be a perfect fit for a given set of requirements.
https://karl-voit.at/2024/09/27/Voits-law-of-tool-usefulness/
It's just important to get the requirement engineering right somehow: https://karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-choices/

I think the biggest unsolved problem in my #Emacs configuration might be what to bind to C-z. Help me out with some inspiration: what do you have bound to C-z?
For the mouse-curious users of Emacs, some keybindings you might find of interest.

Anju v1.2.0 update now available on MELPA (https://melpa.org/#/anju). Thematically, this update has many enhancements related to manipulating text, surfacing many Emacs commands that distinguish it from lesser editors.

Yes, #Emacs. You can render SVG. Very clever. But I actually want to *edit the text* of the file (you know, in a text editor. Like... oh, $DEITY, never mind).
Yes, Emacs, you almost certainly do have some weird key combination to switch back to ACTUALLY BEING A TEXT EDITOR, but I don't know it, and, being Emacs, you're too damned arrogant to make it discoverable.
Typing `<esc>-x svg` and hitting tab produces nothing.
Why do I still waste disk space on this piece of crap?
Alt...
An Emacs window. You know, Emacs -- the 'Editor Macros' text editor. Editing an SVG file. Except, it isn't. It is very prettily, and accurately, rendering the file. (The file shows a recursively drawn tree, and a recursive spiral).
If I wanted to render the file, I have lots of excellent tools to do that. I WANT AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO EDIT TEXT, and otherwise just stay out of my way!
Stupid piece of shit.
