I ran into some go code that use build tags. My existing test functions didn't work. To handle build-tags, I defined go-build-tags in .dir-locals.el and used the variable in my functions.

((go-ts-mode . ((go-build-tags . "device,json1"))))

Okay here's another Transient I've made a while back, in this case for Avy. A bit esoteric, but this has enabled me to get a lot more out of Avy than just using avy-goto-word-1 or avy-goto-char-timer. Wondering out loud if I should publish this on MELPA.

Also yes, I've read Karthik's post on using Avy wrong. I readily admit I'm not sophisticated enough to put filter-select-act into practice.

Not that anyone likely cares, but I just refactored my #emacs config away from literate org-mode, into a collection of specific elisp files. The top level init.el is now quite clean.
I got tired of having to edit source blocks in the org-mode config and having to preload org-mode just to load my config, all just so it looks prettier (?) when reading it on github.
The elisp files still have sections, rg can search them just fine. I'm happy. https://github.com/garyo/emacs-config

I passively read the #Emacs subreddit but I have zero desire to be on reddit. Often I come across questions I think I know the answer to and can only hope someone else answers it (and most of the time someone does it).

Case in point: https://old.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1coumhm/elisp_determine_if_mouse_posn_is_within_region/

I think they are looking for posn-point.

Transients are seemingly getting more common (see Casual dired) so I decided to share my EMMS-dired-player transient.

I have been using it for a while and it does what I want it to do.

My #emacs discovery for today is dired-omit-mode. It hides less interesting files (object files, backups etc). There are a few options to tweak what you want hidden.

The default binding is C-x M-o but I've also put it on just M-o in my config so that I can toggle it quickly.

taking a break from my social media diet to note that I finally took the time to export my #emacs styling like many of you asked. I present you: girly-notebook-theme.el
https://github.com/melissaboiko/girly-notebook-theme

you have to install the fonts for it to work properly, see the README.

FAQ: no there's no dark bg version.

Today I learned and practiced using Pikchr. Pikchr is a low-level diagram markup language. This is my second attempt at it and I think it clicked this time.

The program is available is a single function library and a CLI that emits SVG.

There is obviously an #emacs mode for it with preview and org-babel support that works well.

After spending some time learning meow's editing model, I've finished a moderate customization of the default qwerty layout. It's an attempt to find a synthesis of my emacs, vi, and CUA muscle memory while favoring selection-first editing.

Ever been too scared to use the #Emacs file manager Dired? I have and still remember what it's like, especially when I was new to it. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here's my take on making Dired a bit easier to use, for beginners and experienced alike.

Text [#format, to setup your text editor] You want a "Better garbage collection" in your #Emacs?
Here is a solution: https://config.phundrak.com/emacs/basic-config.html#better-garbage-collection
This was explained during the 2024-05-02 french on-line workshop called "Atelier #Emacs", by the author @phundrak, thank you! And happy emacsing!

A guide on integrating #emacs + #python + #hatch using [mostly] builtin tooling and project local .dir-locals.el variables.

Specifically, this setup uses #Eglot + #pyright for live syntax checking, #pytest for code running, #MyPy for type-checking, and #IPython as the shell

Feedback would be welcome -- trying to get it robust + idiomatic.

I create a new package for Emacs:
hide-secrets: https://gitlab.com/ostseepinguin1/hide-secrets-el

It hides various secrets like passwords, username, email addresses, IP addresses and hash sums in Emacs buffer, so you can show these buffers online without risking privacy.

It's still too early to put it on Melpa.

Feedback very much appreciated.

To anyone in and around Erlangen/Nueremberg, I am organising a german introduction to Emacs next week (10.5.) at my university. My intention is to give a high-level, value-driven overview instead of wasting time on accidental and superficial features such as Magit, Org-Mode, SLIME, etc. (there are plenty of those already).

You can find more details on my Uni-Website: https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~oj14ozun/emacs/.

magit-find-file allows you to open a file at a certain revision, which could be a (relative) timestamp. Notation: HEAD@{3 days ago}.

Using these bits, I wrote a small #emacs command that displays a file at a certain moment, chosen with the built-in calendar.

(defun bram85-magit-find-file-as-of (datetime)  
 (interactive (list (org-read-date)))  
 (let ((rev (format "HEAD@{%s}" datetime)))  
 (magit-find-file rev (magit-read-file-from-rev rev "File: "))))

Inspired by @howard 's recent post sharing his #elfeed configuration, I'm sharing mine. Elfeed is a powerful RSS feed reader for #emacs with a number of hooks to customize it.

My configuration:

https://apps.bram85.nl/git/bram/gists/src/commit/fd3d0991055863526be07dd12f4857ab32826768/gists/elfeed.el

Among others, it contains the following elements:

• Custom function for printing entries:

• Relative dates (using the relative-date package by @rougier )

• Tags printed in :orgmode: notation

• Ability to omit some tags from printing.

• Record read dates in the elfeed database when entries are opened.

sqrtminusone, 20 days ago to orgmode

I've got an #orgmode question.

I have an org file for a long-running project. It's getting hard to manage because there are lots of different tasks, events, etc.

I think I want to create an "archive version" of that file, which would have the same structure but store items, say, with a timestamp older than 2 months. That would require two basic steps:

• extracting a subtree from the original file;
• merging the extracted subtree into the archived version.

I could implement that, but I wonder if there is any existing way for that? Or some other approach that would address the same issue?

Scratching my head at an Emacs issue: Elfeed-org doesn’t seem to load my feeds. I’m not sure why, everything looks OK. I have my feeds.org and I have the path defined in rmh-elfeed-org-files and it does show the value it’s supposed to have.

Does anyone have a working config I can look at?

Updated my #Emacs #OpenMeteo client.

For the most part, it's keeping up with the API which has gained several new features, including:

• 15-minutely forecasts and current weather in the ensemble model (referred to as just "Weather Forecast")
• Weather models from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and the Chinese Meteorological Administration (CMA)
• Options to adjust solar radiation variables by panel tilt and panel azimuth
• "Previous Runs API" that allows comparing forecasts for different days (up to 7). E.g. what temperature was predicted for today 7 days ago (Fig. 1)

Happy to see the project developing.

And I've added an option to access historical weather data for a particular day across multiple years (Fig. 2).

My client: https://github.com/SqrtMinusOne/biome
