@screwtape My problem is not with sorting the list in Emacs Lisp. I want an user interface where the list can be reordered and items added/removed without touching any code.
I started with Emacs widgets, by listing the list items and adding checkboxes so that the user can check/uncheck the items. But unfortunately, this kind of interface doesn't support the changing of item order.
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.

I think there's demand for them, these transients make life easier for many users, because it makes features more easily accessible.
I agree it wouldn't be a necessarily good thing to have transient libraries for the same packages though. I guess MELPA admins are aware of that. @mykhaylo
I’ve been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I’ve recently switched to Kitty, but now I’m wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both....
A question for the #emacs community: Is it possible to use the Tramp feature to connect to a remote Emacs daemon? I ask because I have a file which I always have open on a remote pseudo-tty, but sometimes it would be nice to use my desktop Emacs with its nice proportional fonts and custom sizes to edit.
I want to connect to the same remote daemon so I can see unsaved changes and not have to worry about sync.
@amszmidt
Nah, afaik nobody solved this. That's why I wrote it can't be done. Of course, with some ugly hacking it should be possible, but it's not worth the effort.
It's easier to open the file from the local box and never actually ssh into it, that would also solve the syncing problem.
Depending on the use-case, perhaps more "solutions" can be presented.
When one person clogs up a #hashtag I follow so completely, that no matter how long I #doomscroll, all I see is that one person's posts, one after the other, seemingly forever. Aaarrgghhh!!
@RememberUsAlways
I usually mute for 1-3 days, depending on how bad the behavior is (not in the absolute sense, but from the viewpoint of curating my experience), and I together with the mute I add a note for the account on the profile page. If a person accumulates a few mute notes, I mute them forever.
Worked so far, but I have no idea how would it work for crowded places.
People often talk about Emacs vs Vim. Every developer I’ve met uses Vim. Occasionally, some of the vim users will say they have previously emacs, but switched to vim.
So where are all the people who are currently using Emacs?
I’m not trolling or looking for an argument. I legit want to know!
@0x1de
Emacs people tend to open remote files and terminals from within their local Emacs, not the other way around. This is virtually a non-problem as far as you don't need to connect via serial or something esoteric like that.
That's an important point that I realized just now: if you share a profile with other people (like, there's a server and everyone uses the "root" to access it), you can't customize the look, feel and behavior, except if you use Emacs. In every other case you alter the config for everyone else too.
Now I have #mastodon, #email and #matrix in #emacs. Funny how communications on computers are easier to focus on without all the intense animations, colors and ads. I feel much more relaxed and ready to work when it's all texted based.
@xkummerer
Great! But what I really would like to see is a Teams client integrated into Emacs somehow. I guess it won't happen because MS doesn't expose an API and they are already walking the Path of Telemetry.
Ukraine and Poland are considering the scenario of protecting the western Ukrainian regions with Polish Patriot systems, Dmetro Kuleba has said (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine). That would be an excellent idea, a purely defensive, not escalatory move that protects civilians and infrastructure in western Ukraine. Other EU countries could also contribute. #Ukraine#Poland#geopolitics#EU#NATO@geopolitics
Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal emulator?
