emacs has a bad reputation for being “difficult to use”. A piece of software can’t be difficult to use for the sake of being difficult to use. Of course, many people remember emacs for forcing them to memorize a lot of key combinations (C-x C-f, C-x C-s,…

On day 1, I talked about use-package. For using use-package, one needs to relaunch emacs to “refresh” the configuration, install emacs packages and stuffs. But how do I relaunch emacs?

emacs has a bad reputation for being “slow”. It is not that difficult to find derogatory expansions of the 5 characters e, m, a, c, and s. My favorite is “Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping”. It talks about how memory hungry emacs was. In the old days…

Hongchao Liu thinks that emacs is the “2D command-line interface”. Sure enough, I could do many things with the 2D command-line interface. However, there are still many things I prefer to use the 1D command-line interface, i.e. the Linux shell. Hate to admit…

After vi(m) vs emacs, the GUI vs terminal emacs debate is probably the second favorite past time of emacs Redditors.

Yesterday, I talked about displaying programming ligatures. A programming ligature, although in one single glyph as being displayed, is actually a sequence of characters. For example, |> are two characters | (the pipe) and > (greater than), although it looks…

Yesterday, I talked about mode and keymap/modemap. And it actually opens up a pandora box: How do I know all these information? In order to customize emacs, you need to find all the relevant information.

I admit it now: at least 50% of the things I write are formulaic.

As I said yesterday, this is a break for me. I just want to quickly show you what theme I am using and also the technique to quickly to switch to another theme.

A serious boost regression

I have talked about some basics about emacs in the last 10 days. From now on, I will be focus more on the specific usage of emacs. On around day 19, I will start to talk about my attitude towards emacs 1. I am not prot the philosopher and emacs user extraordinaire.…

From time to time it’s useful to know who are main authors of some piece of a project. Admittedly most of the time I want to check who are the top contributors to some Git repository I’d use a web interface for this (e.g. GitHub). Probably because I never…
