This small function is probably a game-changer in my personal #Emacs experience:
From https://www.emacs.dyerdwelling.family/emacs…

There’s a lot of (tribal) knowledge maintainers of systems like #Emacs or #Vim carry with them to ensure these continue to work. Their work is amazing.
This is the challenge of newbies looking at legacy systems and quickly concluding “it’s stupid, let’s change it”.

Random question. Usually, #Emacs tracks the column position when you change lines. If you're in column position 37 on line 4 and you move down to line 5, you'll be in column position 37 on line 5. Every now and then, this behavior randomly stops (I say randomly, I must accidentally trigger it somehow.) Moving up and down always moves the cursor to column 1. Saving the buffer, killing it, a…

I just noticed my #Emacs doesn't have 🝶; I can use C-x 8 RET to select LUNAR ECLIPSE (there's no SOLAR??) but I get a white box that says 01F776 inside and now I wonder how many other (potentially useful) unicode chars I don't have.
I'm mostly posting this just to see if anyone else has this character :)

I wish I'd know how to summarize what I've learned reading:
"Running Shells and Terminal Emulators in #Emacs" https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/run

Running Shells and Terminal Emulators in Emacs
One of Emacs's strongest capabilities is its ability to talk to external shells, like bash, or emulate an entire terminal. But this being Emacs, you have more than one choice to choose from − and which choice is right for you?

Whatever your need, #Emacs covers it!

Anyone who does #golang #emacs using the treesitter mode? It's a bit strange that it's separate from the main go mode, who are making their own ts-mode, but not yet. Seems like a bit of a mess?

I have solved the problem with setting the font in #Emacs.
I will have to learn a bit more about how #Emacs decides it,
but in my case the `(set-frame-font)` was preceded by a series
of adding different fonts to `default-frame-alist`.
This took precedence.

One thing that almost always surprises me in #Emacs is the assignment of `Ctrl-x f` to fill-column.
Obviously I get surprised quite often given `Ctrl-x Ctrl-f` is find-file.

Ah, it was caused by mac-auto-operator-composition-mode (Emacs-Mac port): it seems that “]]” was replaced by a ligature, which then didn't match anymore. So, if one wants to use this feature with a font that supports such ligatures, one should probably set mac-auto-operator-composition-characters to a smaller set of characters to avoid surprises…

I have the following lines in my init.el:

As an #Emacs user, if you’ve read “Mastering Emacs”, would you recommend it?
I'm mostly using Org. And Emacs as a very basic text editor when I need to write something or read through a source file.

Anyone who happens to use Starling bank (#uk), and #emacs.. I made a thing. So far it just gets all my savings pots and shows them, which I already find useful.
Some day I might release it, but anyone who stumbles on this who might be interested (pretty niche) let me know.

Question for #Emacs #elfeed users: what could lead to categories

My elfeed-feeds is defined like this:

Every so often there arises a question that's hard to google because all of the terms have other meanings, and this is one: I discovered the #Emacs Application Framework, and while the browser is really nice and works fine, other apps like the eaf-file-manager just show an empty buffer, no messages, no active keys, it does say EAF/file-manager as a mode, but otherwise just a dead buffer.
Yes, I tried tapping it lightly with a small hammer.

Should anyone be of the #Emacs and #Tumblr mindset, I'm happy to report there is a fork of Tumblesocks that, while not feature complete, is a joy to use.

I think I want to add a new binding to #Emacs eww: jump to next paragraph
*and* center it on the screen.
It's basically: `M-S-]` followed by `C-l`.
I'll look up the function name for these two bindings
and create an interactive function.
I don't know yet how to bind to a single mode.

curmudgeon they call us but it is because no one listened and get the hell off my lawn
oldschool rant but y'know it is a pain the backside when I can't describe a tech matter to an intern from within #emacs when all they know is Facebook messenger. I mean, way back when, this was not a problem, happy coexistance, to each their own. Peak Internet was fun, tho', wasn't it? Or was I just not paying attention.

Is it possible to automatically attach a property to a #emacs #Orgmode heading creating using `C-S-RET` or `M-S-RET`?
I do like to have a CREATED property on all tasks so I can purge them when they've stayed too long in the list.

In other news, #Emacs Newsticker seems to forget the status of some of the feeds between restarts.
It might not be its issue. I haven't seen this with RSS reader apps though.

TIL macOS text replacement doesn't work in #Emacs.
I do know #Emacs has many snippet tools.

because

2) it could have worked across all applications

Today in #Emacs I’ve tried eww and elfeed. I used both shortly and they both behaved and felt great. I feel a potential rabbit hole 🫢

Just to be crystal clean:
Elfeed and mastodon.el are fun.
And as I imagined, very deep rabbit holes.
I guess #Emacs has its own story of if you get in, there's no way to get out 🥹.
