In the Casual v3.0 update, the setup process has been vastly simplified to being a single command. Details in the attached link.

http://yummymelon.com/devnull/simplifying-setup-for-casual.html

Casual is a project to re-imagine the primary user interface for Emacs using keyboard-driven menus. Casual v3.0 is now available on MELPA and NonGNU ELPA.

My advice for users wanting to switch to Emacs. ~ Daniel Pinkston. https://www.bardman.dev/technology/switching-to-emacs/ #Emacs

why, oh why, is the documentation for event-symbol-element-mask in stackexchange?

#Emacs

TIL: `C-x x @` reopens a buffer as root using tramp/sudo.
#emacs

I want write a mode for Emacs.
find package-vc-install, and try to invoke it via M-x.

There's no obvious map between lisp calling conventions but I try a few things.

I know from the documentation it's possible to pass a url, but I get an warning '[Match Required]'.
What it is matching with, I don't know, so I apropos and look at the docs.

I see this list of properties and start on the left:

"event-symbol-element-mask"

I search Qwant, I search DuckDuckGo, I search Google. nada

Google AI, and you know how I feel about AI, finds that the documentation for "event-symbol-element-mask" is to be found in a stack exchange post.

(edit) not so, neither of the supporting links actually declare what is said in the summary.

still no idea how to format an emacs command line invocation from the lisp documentation because there's no link from the specific to the general and no way to find out without reading apparently infinite documentation.

it's not looking good.

A bit embarrassing, but since the last reinstall I seem to constatnly fail at that, so: Does somebody have a sensible emacs config for developing in C (i.e. integration with the clangd lsp and stuff)?

Yeah that one ain't going anywhere fast. I'm downloading Gemma4:26b to see how fast it can go on this poor machine. Also, got Emacs with Emacspeak working with an Eloquence speech server, for the new Eloquence for Linux. That's how I'm using Mastodon on Linux currently.

If GNU Emacs is the Holy Roman Catholic church, XEmacs surely is the Holy Orthodox church.

Both of these two churches are originally belong to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostholic Church.

Atom, Zed, VSCode are all Protestant denominations. Exactly like those Protestants churches, more and more denominations will be created.

#Emacs

@jameshowell @jbaty

In GNU Emacs, is there any way to 'undo' the loss of a selection region, especially a rectangle selection? I am forever going through the dance of C-x SPC, select a rectangle region, do something that fumbles the action I wanted to do, rectangle region disappears, I grind my teeth, and I would like an easy way to recover should there be one.

(I can't spot anything in the manual or in MELPA/ELPA packages, but I may not have looked hard enough.)

Gracias, Laura. Esto es tan tuyo como mío. Y gracias a Ihor Radchenko (@yantar92 ), mantenedor de Org Mode, por sus revisiones.

RSI and Emacs: When Your Pinky Says Enough is Enough: https://taonaw.com/2026/08/16/rsi-and-emacs-when-your.html

I’ve been doing even more Emacs writing lately, and my pinky is paying the price. After years of using Caps Lock as Control, I’m finally feeling the strain. Here’s what happened, what I’m doing about it, and what new ergonomic keyboards I’m considering.

#Emacs #rsi #ergonomic #keyboard

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@svw/117105043577901601

Looking at the innermost message.
Might "tried to save" refer to pressing C-s?
I vaguely recall something about cases where that indeed didn't reach Emacs (could that have happened on a Sun?), but then does that also mean Paul Graham didn't know about ^S/^Q?

In any case, I can't possibly recall how I learned about C-x C-s, so I can't recall how obscure it was, or not.

I won't know the answer, but the innermost message only tells a part of the story.

This is the almost exact mirror of why I started using #Emacs over #vi.

The reasons I *keep* using it are legion.

Paul Graham @paulg@bird.makeup 14h Since several people asked why I don't use emacs, here's why: [Quoted post] Paul Graham @paulg@bird.makeup 5y The reason I use vi instead of emacs is because when I got to grad school and tried to save a file on a Sun workstation, it froze the screen instead. It took me a couple days to find out what keys they'd remapped the save command to. In the meantime I started using vi.

This just proves that _nothing_ in computing is intuitive, its all based on learning.

When confronted with something that works differently from what you have already learnt it means you have to learn anew.

Some people like that challenge, others don't.

Menu's with key-strokes listed and for Emacs `which-key` and `transient` buffers help massively

Hmm, I would have expected that "emacsclient -e '(vertico-next)'" would move my cursor in the minibuffer a line down, but it doesn't. The same command via M-x works. There seems to be a difference between evaluating within #emacs and via emacsclient -e

Okay so, I cannot still believe it. But the #Emacs Canvas patch is finally merged to upstream master. It's been over 8 months of back and forth, and so much confusion and self-doubt, but it's surreal to see it finally be merged.

A whole new era of graphics within Emacs has opened up with this!

I am going to be forever indebted to @minad for collaborating with me on this, for coming up with the idea when he saw me struggle with PPM. He's been the best mentor to me through all this. This was my first patch to core, and it is through his guidance that I could get into the details of redisplay, etc.

I am also very thankful to @tusharhero @moksh @shepherd who did not give up on this while I was on it. Tushar has been so supportive with reviewing, and helping and in general keeping my hopes high.

All in all, I am very glad to be part of the Emacs community.

Cheers to Emacs, the editor that not only refuses to die, but evolves and lives!

@svw I started using emacs because in grad school someone told me RMAIL in emacs was the best mailer (1992). I got it working, but couldn't figure anything out. Got out of #emacs and realized RMAIL slurped up the whole mbox file. I had to learn emacs to get my mail back... by the time I did I stuck with emacs for my main work. (And usenet news)

Though I did always use #vi for small edits... emacs stayed with me for anything important to this day.

I love Emacs. Even when I hate Emacs.

I wonder if all #Emacs / #vi user stories start with this sort of trauma. 🤣

Emacs is my 10 year plan and roadmap #emacs #GNU #freesoftware

@svw I began using Turbo Pascal on a PC and only later began to use Unix (HP-UX). Thus I was introduced to #vi. When I moved from Canada to the US I decided to start using #Emacs. After a year I gave up and began using FTE (the Folding Text Editor). Emacs just felt like I could never remember enough key combinations. Then in 2007 I got a new job, one of the leads used and loved Emacs, so I decided to give it another go. And I haven't looked back since. I live in Emacs buffers :-). Cheers, -Randy
