Björk's kitty husband: I SHOULD LEARN MORE EMACS LISP

FYI, if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area and want to talk Emacs, coffee.el is having their monthly meeting this Saturday, May 30 at 11am at Haus Coffee. Details in the link below. All, from the curious to expert-level, are welcome.

#Emacs #SanFrancisco #SFBA

@Zenie @jbaty Giving up #TextExpander was the final, biggest obstacle to transitioning to Linux from MacOS eight or ten years ago. #AutoKey did the job under X, mostly, and #Espanso works sometimes under Wayland but only after a sojourn in config hell. But neither has ever been reliable. It must be a difficult problem space because it just doesn't ever work.

The vast majority of my snippets are for composing email, so I moved them to #yasnippet after I loved to #mu4e. And #Emacs has never let me down.

But that leaves tons of stuff in the browser where one is left just to muddle through.

So … how many people so far today have told you that it was almost certainly a recording of an eshell session, which was then copied into the animations by animators; the process used for other scenes and revealed later by the person who did these effects? Basically the terminal user's equivalent of motion capture.

Got to be more than one. (-:

Or that have pointed out Xorg in the process list? There's probably something to be inferred from those window widgets, too.

Alas, I strongly suspect that the person who did this died in the first year of COVID.

What are you guts actually using to switch between buffers in #emacs? and I mean efficiently - not just randomly tabbing through with C-x and the arrows. Are you using ibuffer, tabs, or what??

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116643132796222151

In 1990 Dr. Peter Lee's 15-212 course at #CarnegieMellon introduced me to Scheme. It's also when I first came to comprehend the power of #Emacs and #EmacsLisp.

In the first hour, Professor Lee demonstrated elegantly that everything is a list: data are lists and programs are lists. Every list returns a value, and functions are just lists that do calculations! Functions can return lists, of course, and so you can write functions that return functions!

I ran to the lab to hack Lisp: it wasn't in your pocket, it was in a room worth more than your parents' house. Nothing had ever seemed more natural: write, evaluate, repeat. Hack a nugget, nest lists, add parentheses, hack bigger things. But the magic thing where you write code that returns code remained a mystery: we did lots of cool stuff in that course, but we never got to macros.

Until 2026.

The surprise? The surprise is that as each decade passes, I grow to cherish lifelong learning as more and more precious.

@profoundlynerdy How to set up such a workflow? I've been developing many workflows in #Emacs since the late 1980s. Take that as encouragement, not discouragement!

Any pitfalls? Some people don't share my love of Emacs, I suppose. 🤣

Thanks for the shoutout, @slackline! Besides @rougier, there's also @ericsfraga, @randyridenour, @zamansky, oh now I'm starting to feel anxious because I'm certain I am forgetting people @kjhealy sorry to the rest

It's not about the product, it's about learning.

I just marginally improved one of my trivial little packages (that helps me a lot!).

I finally (finally) wrapped my head around the concept (and the syntax) of Lisp macros in #EmacsLisp. Finally.

@jtr I love this workflow. Software can automate things when they're repetitive. And software can support carefully handcrafting unique, thoughtful, individual artifacts. Sometimes the magic is not in eliminating steps, but by introducing new steps that foster deliberation.

Using Denote for Email: A manual workflow: https://taonaw.com/2026/05/26/using-denote-for-email-a.html

Denote wasn’t built for email, but since I’m tired of Apple Mail for long emails, a quick manual copy-paste solves the problem. It’s not a sophisticated workflow, but it works.

#Emacs #orgmode #denote #email #writing

«C-u C-x C-t C-M-x ... it summons the GNU Gods»

As long as you have the right incantation in the buffer.
