And in that regard, there seems to be no deficit currently.

farcallerTrying to get into <a href="https://hdev.im/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> with no minimal config (kickstart.emacs) and ALREADY this thing just beeps at me and does nothing ;-;It's almost comical how back and forth I'm with it. Barebones emacs is surely no better than barebones vim, meaning I can use it, i just don't enjoy it. And easing into configuring it was such a wild ride of searching the configs of others (things I don't understand), trying the prepacked options (doom emacs is tolerable but I can't learn from it or strip it apart same as kickstart.nvim), and attempting to build a config from scratch.I need LFS of emacs at this point. Yeah, I know how to navigate in org. Yeah, it works. But it's just a miserable experience all around and I don't understand which wrong turns I take...

It's a me, MauroI've just literally recreated <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/Logseq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Logseq</a> endless journal page in <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> thanks to Denote and dblocks! With the bullet <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/journaling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#journaling</a> method included! (Each new entry inside a day's note is a heading with just the current time).I've been looking for a way to achieve this in a long time. Actually if I didn't bother with Org-roam and went with Denote right away it would have been so much better.The fact that Denote is basically just extra functions on top of org-mode is a great paradigm.<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PKM</a>

It's a me, MauroOn other news, I finally migrated all my Org-roam notes to Denote, and I just love it! So much more flexible and it just makes sense inside <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> with its own tools and functions.Love it.<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PKM</a>

zrzzShow me your <a href="https://emacs.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> keybindings that you put into existing global submaps that you feel are intuitive.Here are some of mine:Under C-x v (for VC stuff): ("C-x v t" . git-gutter-mode) ("C-x v s" . git-gutter:stage-hunk) ("C-x v n" . git-gutter:next-hunk) ("C-x v p" . git-gutter:previous-hunk) ("C-x v T" . git-timemachine) ("C-x v R" . browse-at-remote)Under M-g for error navigation: ("M-g M-l" . flymake-show-buffer-diagnostics)In the C-x map to complement C-x u: ("C-x C-u" . vundo)And a better use for C-x C-o (overriding delete-blank-lines): ("C-x C-o" . browse-url-at-point)Technically these are reserved or taken spots but I like these bindings enough to make an exception for them.

zrzzIn a previous toot thread we've been talking about ways to launch processes from Emacs in a way that lets them survive Emacs exiting, crashing or restarting via M-x restart-emacs.The best way I've found so far:<pre><code>;;; with separate cmd and args: (call-process command nil 0 args) ;;; or let the shell parse the command: (call-process-shell-command command nil 0) </code></pre>The key is the 0 as the third argument, this causes Emacs to discard the output and not wait for the process.I use it like this for my EXWM command launcher function:<pre><code>(defun my-exwm-run (command) (interactive (list (read-shell-command "$ "))) (call-process-shell-command command nil 0)) </code></pre>Previously I used start-process-shell-command and nohup but that accumulated defunct processes when using M-x restart-emacs. The call-process-shell-command with the 0 arg doesn't seem to have that problem and it doesn't need nohup. This is a bit counter intuitive because call-process is supposed to be for synchronous processes. Not sure if make-process (the async primitive) can do this the same way.If somebody is familiar with how/why exactly this works I'd love to hear your thoughts.<a href="https://emacs.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a href="https://emacs.social/tags/exwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exwm</a>

Karl Voit :emacs: :orgmode:<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@chesheer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@chesheer</a> IMO people have lost the ability to discuss topics in a non-personal fashion. Factual level vs. personal level.Nowadays, the tendency that any discussion results in personal insults is very high.Besides: since <a href="https://graz.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> is able to do everything(!) that <a href="https://graz.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vim</a> does (except vimscript) but vim can only do vim-stuff but only a tiny fraction of the stuff that's built-in or optional within Emacs, this is actually settled once and for all. 😈 <a href="https://graz.social/tags/editorwars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editorwars</a>
