TIL: when you want to reference the first input in a capture template “%N”is used. In a template file that works, but in a configuration-file you need to use “\%N”. Otherwise the “%N” is replaced by a control-character when capturing.
At least with doom-emacs.
#emacs #doomemacs #orgmode

When I put a hashtag in a #Journelly entry, it's best to put it on the same line as the relevant text instead of putting it on its own empty line. This is because in #DoomEmacs, when I search the current buffer with `SPC s s` and then type in a hashtag, the results at the bottom of the screen will show context beside each tag, otherwise it would just be a bunch of lines of the same single tag with nothing to differentiate each matching instance.

Hmm… How bad idea is to start using Doom Emacs? 🤔

#Emacs #DoomEmacs

I've been using #Emacs for the last couple of months now for all my daily work (I'm a translator, not a programmer) and here's a thought.
Of course, I stumbled upon rather contrasting recommendations:
1) Don't use vanilla, use #DoomEmacs or #Spacemacs. Preferably Doom. Well, I tried this in the past, but it didn't stick. It''s everything and the kitchen sink, but you generally don't know if you really need all this. So you study Doom, not Emacs. I might get back to it in the future. I did prefer Spacemacs, though (aesthetically).
2) Use vanilla and spend ten years building your own config. This sounds fairly reasonable, because you naturally learn the program itself, not its plugins. But it's a huge timesink when you start to "build your own Emacs". So you'd end up with DoomEmacs, but badly written, slow and constantly breaking on every update.
I went with the second alternative and here's what I got for my personal usecase:

me@desktop:~$ grep "use-package" .emacs.d/init.el | wc -l
8

Eight packages. howm, inkpot-theme, which-key, avy, counsel, general, annotate, markdown-mode. I didn't even bother to make annotate work for now, so it's 7. And I don't really use avy, so it could be 6.
That's all I need for now. For several months I haven't had a moment yet when I thought that I need something else or that my workflow is getting somewhat cumbersome.
Of course, this doesn't mean that my setup is perfect. But my point is: configuring your own Emacs could be way easier than you might think (depending on the workflow), and you probably don't need to fight a bazillion packages waging civil war in your config file.

Emacs workflow learning scheme.
Using #eww for viewing html, using #geiser-guile for repl and scheme file.

My copy and paste is still messed up, but everything is working and its pretty nice using #emacs for almost every thing.

#doomemacs, #scheme, #hardcore https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matduke-hard-loud-podcast-episode-151-euphoric-hardstyle/id1317304889?i=1000703402238

I'm learning #emacs (specifically #doomemacs). so far it's a delight. (so far i've written 0 lines of code.)

psa, if you happen to be like me. i.e., a refugee from the ruins of visual studio's former glory:

1) get out of the habit of "open the project file and look around". get in the habit of "open a file within the project." emacs will catch up.
2) hit space, c, and wait. You'll get a popup that shows where all the cool fun buttons to press are.

Bored -- hey why not go through #SICP, fuck it why not. #doomemacs using geiser-guile mode.

FreeBSD

All setup, I installed #Hikari #waybar #doomemacs #kitty #alacritty.

FreeBSD is almost easier than setting up a Linux distro now.

Dum kelka monati me uzis #doomemacs, ma pokope me ne volis uzar ol plu. Nun mi volas uzar emacs sole, tale me povas lernar komo uzar ol bone.

On povas dicar ke DoomEmacs es same kam Nvim e me ja savas komo uzar Nvim bone, ma til nu uzante DoomEmacs me remarkas ke me ne savas komo uzar #emacs nek la maxim baza kozi.

@tymoty vanilla emacs může být složitá na nějaké prvotní konfigurace, podívej se na #doomemacs nebo #spacemacs - dostaneš předkonfigurovaný setup podobný klasickým IDE. Je tam i evil mod pro lidi co přichází z vim.

If you describe how to install with #elpaca , #straight , #doomemacs and #nix-flake. Then you can go the extra mile to show the #usepackage method too, just because it's really nice to be helpful to those who don't share your special ecosystem.
Not all are fluent in #elisp.

This sounds a little more angry than intended, please use your standard internet forum filter glasses. 🕶️

#emacs

I sorta kinda prefer #doomemacs modules setup and I've muscle memory for #spacemacs keybindings.

#DoomEmacs / #Emacs users

dafuck is this trying to tell me? I'm in an #OrgMode document and it keeps showing me these square brackets in the status bar at the bottom. It's only in THIS document though.

I thought maybe I had some broken link tags or something but there are zero square brackets in this document. (confirmed with grep and ripgrep)

Switched to a Mac and I am really happy. No more tinkering with Linux for me and no more distrohopping (I admit… I was addicted).

I installed #doomemacs on my Mac. The VIM-Keybindings are a game changer for me. No more pain in the hands. And Doom has a really nice out of the box-experience. And it runs super smooth on the Mac

Now I have more time to learn #orgmode properly :-)

Trying to read a blog post and getting sidetracked by 14px monospace font where the contrast somehow doesn't feel sharp enough at 9.98:1 and thank goodness for browsers with Reader Mode but anyways hashtag you might like this if you can read it #AstroDotBuild #Emacs #DoomEmacs

Setting up Doom Emacs for Astro Development • Edmund Miller

Alright, I'm actually curious as apparently some people are saying not use the terminal to access #Emacs. Though I prefer it myself, seems intuitive for my workflow. Though, I'm not sure if it is because I'm using #DoomEmacs over the vanilla GNU Emacs. What do you say ? Do you use your terminal for Emacs, or do you use the GUI ? Do you use Doom Emacs, GNU Emacs, or another spin of Emacs ?

Giving this #Emacs (/ #DoomEmacs ) #devcontainer config a go, so far it's working surprisingly well. I hope I can completely ditch #VSCode with it, at least for most tasks.
Edit: well, there is this bug: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/issues/6079
