We sneakily released Arei Guile Scheme IDE 0.9.5 a couple weeks ago. Mostly because there is not much user-visible new functionality, we just keep polishing sharp edges before 1.0 release.
To keep you updated: Yesterday I implemented extensions resolution mechanism, Nikita is cleaning up session handling on Emacs side and a couple more things left to do.
While we are getting ready for 1.0, @lil started to work on Hoot support!
Anyone using #Emacs org mode with programmatic searches, e.g. with org-ql.el, or buffer regexp matching, who collects the resulting headings with body text?
Use case: my headlines are workout summaries, but below each headings there is a table with details and text with comments, and I want to concatenate the headings + the body text below into an export buffer.
A monthly overview, for example.
org-ql makes querying simple, but I don't manage to get beyond the headings :/
#emacs nerds, can you help me with the name of a concept?
We have multiple modes that collect snippets from other buffers, e.g. in occur-mode, rg.el, or #embark's "collect" buffers that are editable and will change the original location accordingly.
I'm thinking of "transclusion" here, but the most Emacs-y thing that comes to mind is, well, 'occur-mode' itself, but what's the name of concept of what occur.el does? 🤔

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll craft a few Emacs Lisp functions to create a custom note taking workflow with Denote, an excellent note taking package for Emacs!

The more I learn #Emacs, the more I think I should've started way earlier.
I'm using only #OrgMode, to create and manage my digital garden, but I've already learnt a good set of useful commands, my digital garden is automagically converted from Org Mode into HTML with a nice CSS, I've even integrated Japanese furigana and PlantUML!
And I'm sharing back all my current learnings, using the digital garden itself: https://marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/emacs/orgmode/orgmode.html
Have a nice reading, and give me feedbacks! 🙏🏻
#Irreal highlighted @jbaty blog post on the "gravitational pull of emacs" a cyclic moving away for simplicity's sake and a gradual pull back as personal comforts of customisations coax and inevitable return to #emacs
I've noticed a similar tidal motion back and forth, but instead of simple note-taking apps I flow between Emacs and other simpler #FOSS editors, like #Featherpad or #Notepadplusplus
Ultimately the draw & utility of #OrgMode sucks me back into Emacs and has me nuzzling comfortably back in my custom config.
This is probably a result of trying to walk the tight rope of balance between literally "getting things done" (not the GTD system) and "making life easier" with settings & customising.
I suppose, one day, the customisations might reach a stable state & the use of other editors becomes unnecessary. Balance achieved. Enlightenment.
But you know, in tech, everything moves on eternally so the balance undulates softly over time. Not to mention our lives and needs also shift over time.
So perhaps this do-si-do dance we do, will always be?

you can install GNU/linux on flash drive(full-featured version) or use virtualisation,
WSL and cygwin are solutions, too
consider Tor browser through VPsN, Richard Stallman uses it exclusively; about:config in firefox adrress bar to javascript.enabled = false, or use EU (eww, emacs web browser)
eww.el has commands to manage bookmarks and history but I wanted a version that uses HTML so that eww-lnum and other eww functionality works as usual. This also adds a new my-eww-global-history variable because the normal eww-history is buffer-local.
#emacs people: Is there an easy way to customise org-capture (and perhaps org-agenda) to just use the same window and leave my window management alone?
I’m knee-deep into stack overflow posts and wasting way too much time here. This is one of my most longstanding annoyances of #orgmode
(This is actually one of the reasons #orgrr does not use org-capture for new notes.)
When I stopped my weekly routine, I also stopped organizing tasks. Now I have one big file mixed with personal and work tasks, some active and some complete. It’s an intimidating blob of “stuff,” and just looking at it makes me want to run away to a video game instead.
When should I visit my projects file and move things out into their categories? Second, what are these categories?
Rethinking and reorganizing my life - with org-mode:
:emacs: anyone have experience with org column view header alignment breaking?
works fine starting with emacs -Q, and I don't change face settings anywhere in my config, and commenting out all config related to org, themes and fonts makes no difference
interestingly, starting with emacs -Q causes headline faces to all be uniform, but starting with config gives me different sizes per headline. I don't set this anywhere, so something is changing it, but after 20m I can't work out what
I've just stumbled on this blog post with a view-text-file-as-info-manual function that uses pandoc and org's ox-texinfo to convert various formats into info for convenient #emacs browsing.
It did a great job on the Fennel language reference, it looks a lot better than what I got via pandoc->texinfo->makeinfo. No index but that would be hard to conjure up from a generic markdown file. The top level TOC looks great, node jumps work well and code block are displayed as such.
