#Emacs

Let me know if you have good ideas about #elfeed, the #emacs feed reader. Where do you want to see it go? So far I have implemented:

- Search filter and tag completion
- Mouse menus and mouse support in the search buffer
- Command to open entries in the secondary browser
- Generalized remain-on-entry option
- Auto-resizing of title column
- Debounced search buffer update
- Parsing via libxml
- Major modes derive from special-mode
- Removed obsolete code
- Many fixes and robustness improvements

Not sure I've ever had to quadruple escape something before! Here's an #elisp example for #orgmode in #emacs

So, in the Elisp way we all know and love, they have to be quadruple-escaped. Try this; it actually works:

{{{include-if(blah, {{{bold(Tom\\\\, Dick\\\\, and Harry)}}})}}}

Is there a better way to do this? blogs-metadata is like ((tag1 . (blogpost1 ...)) ...)
(alist with key as tags and list of blog entries as body).

(let* ((tags (delete-dups
(flatten-list
(seq-keep (lambda (post)
(let-alist post .tags))
blogs-metadata))))
(blogs-per-tags
(mapcar (lambda (tag)
(cons tag (seq-keep (lambda (blog)
(let-alist blog
(when (member tag .tags)
blog)))
blogs-metadata)))
tags)))
(sxml (mapcar (lambda (tag)
`(div (@ (class "tag-container"))
(h2 (@ (id ,(car tag))) ,(car tag))
(ul ,(mapcar (lambda (blog)
(let-alist blog
`(li (a (@ (href ,.link)) ,.title))))
(cdr tag)))))

Is #emacs #elpa down...?

Trying to get into emacs package contributions and was wondering what the typical workflow is of doing that. For example, if I have package X installed and would like to make my own additions to the package to test it locally before sending a patch, how would I go ahead in doing that? As a beginner, I'm thinking something along the lines of using the `:load-path` attribute in use-package. #emacs

Is there a way to convert man pages into info pages for easy reading inside #emacs ?

I have added a tree overview mode to Elfeed: M-x elfeed-tree

Thanks to @pkal for his 2020 article on using Rmail in #emacs .

I found it a perfect supplement to the already excellent built-in manual. Curious which parts of that setup have survived until now for you, Philip?

@stellaaash Some editors are just uncomfortable. I have a forty year love/hate relationship with #Emacs. I respect it as an immensely powerful editor, and I hate it for being so idiosyncratic and awkward. In any way the authors could make the interface user-hostile, they leapt in with both feet. It suits some people, and that's fine.

An editor is something with which you work very closely. It has to feel comfortable -- to get completely out of your way -- or it's no use.

Have fun!

@simon_brooke @stellaaash This is a very fair complaint about emacs being fairly inaccessible to the conventional crowd. The new release of emacs (v31, soon to be released in the very near future), features a newcomers feature set that would make the editor much more accessible to newbies. #emacs

I have difficulties understanding why people want overlapping popups for minibuffer interaction. One loses so much, e.g., recursive editing. I prefer tiled layouts almost everywhere. Is it only about focusing on the center of the screen?

“spent 6 months vibecoding my app and nobody wants to use it ;_;”

@pathunstrom @cwebber I think the idea of “apps” was a stupid Silicon Valley construct — an artificial border drawn around a piece of software functionality for the purposes of rent-seeking.

I am glad the idea of apps is dying off, and I guess we can thank so-called “agentic AI” for this now. You download Pi or #OpenClaw, then rather than download “apps” or “extensions” for it, you just ask the agent to modify itself. Tailor it to your workflow.

And by the way, #Emacs was the original Agentic AI from the first AI bubble back in the 1980s when everyone was calling the #Lisp programming language “AI”. It just that with Emacs no one ever seriously considered using natural language to program it (“The Doctor,” based on ELIZA, was included as a game, not an actual utility). The point is: all that was old is new again.

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 👇

#emacs Is there a command or mode to cycle through text files in a folder based on let's say alphabetical order? I guess I could hack something together quickly like that but just curious if it already exists.

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.

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.

@pkal So this means the canvas patch probably isn't getting in? (80281)

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.
