It looks like 1) I have missed 30.2 announcement. 2) I can’t find a tagged version for 30.3.
I am using savannah Git and git tag shows emacs-30.2 but not emacs-30.3. (I did first git fetch —all —tags too)

Using #Orgmode for so many years, I just recently stumbled over the Elisp function "org-copy-visible" which is practical as hell: it copies the currently visible characters.
So you can collapse/expand, mark a region and then copy only the visible parts of it.
Particular helpful when you paste into non-Emacs or non-orgdown situations. Or to manually generate some table of conten…

When I was young “culture war” referred to the vi and eMacs crowds both being wrong about how great of an editor nano is.

Opened up an SVG file in Emacs and it surprised me by presenting the graphic and there was a little message “Type C-c C-c to switch between text and graphic forms.” What I actually wanted to do is change one color in the graphic and was able to iterate and preview without ever leaving Emacs. Smiling.

Hoping some gnome-based #Emacs folks may have guesses: when it launches, I see the usual Emacs text menu at the top of each frame, but /somewhere/ in a long (and messy .emacs) something is 'different' from KDE and I get useless Win/Mac menu-ish things instead. Any guesses where this feature gets turned off?

Mitsuharu Yamamoto’s Emacs Mac port provides the ‘mac-osa-script’ function, which allows you to use JavaScript to control Mac apps using JavaScript (JXA), in addition to AppleScript.
Some years ago, I made a small package to insert links from Mac apps into Emacs, inspired by grab-mac-link, but simpler, in part due to using JXA.
Today I finally took some time to add documentation. If you use the Emacs Mac port, maybe it’s of interest.

This is great news for all #XML and #pandoc users: Pandoc has now a native XML reader and writer for an XML representation of its internal document model (which was previously mainly serialized as JSON). This means that it is now possible to add support for new input or output formats via X technologies like

A few days ago I got very excited when seeing a link for a minimal emacs setup.
Why? My Emacs setup is not minimal. And I always think it is not well enough organized.
I stopped looking at this minimal setup project very early. I have realized that I’d have to use and learn yet another set of settings that this would translate into Emacs options.
I perceive this extra indirection layer as an added complexity and distancing myself from understanding Emacs.

I love it when you paste an error message into the search engine, and hit a query from yesterday.
With a solution that works. #emacs

I recently learned how to work with column view in org mode.
Really useful to see a bunch of data on a glance and not having to separate my notes from the data.
Might help me to finally have some sort of asset tracking for my stuff.

Make sure your code follows a consitent style using the {lintr} package. #rstats

A Linter for R Code
Checks adherence to a given style, syntax errors and possible semantic issues. Supports on the fly checking of R code edited with RStudio IDE, Emacs, Vim, Sublime Text, Atom and Visual Studio Code.

Gnome hat eine Option „Mauszeiger finden“: wenn ich die Ctrl-Taste drücke, leuchtet um den Mauszeiger eine Animation blauer Kreise auf.
Ich vergesse immer, daß es sie gibt, wenn ich wirklich mal nicht weiß, wo der Mauszeiger gerade ist, wackel ich wild mit der Maus hin und her.
Dafür werde ich bei intensiver Emacs-Nutzung von gefälliger Blubberblasen-Animation begleitet.

@kotrckap@mastodon.social Soon you'll tell me it runs emacs just fine and that's all you need 🥳

Why do people fight about Emacs vs. Vim when you can, like me, just use both?

I remember there was a package a few years ago, that allowed for more complex relationships between tasks but I don't remember its name.
E.g. let tasks depend on each other even if they weren't part of the same structure.
Does someone know what I mean?

I find it kinda funny that the 2020 MacBook Air—my work machine (albeit with 16 GB of RAM)—is now described as being “still capable at handling basic tasks like a champ, including streaming video, browsing, and dealing with documents.”
I haven’t noticed #Emacs slowing down, so what do people do that needs so much more computing power!?
