Thank you, God!


New commands 'split-root-window-below' and 'split-root-window-right'.  
These commands split the root window in two, and are bound to 'C-x w 2'  
and 'C-x w 3', respectively. A number of other useful window-related  
commands are now available with key sequences that start with the  
'C-x w' prefix.

This long, long, thread by @alecui warms my heart.
Even though I am new to writing code, my impression of languages (and editors and ides) has always been that they’ve been built to solve issues, from certain folks’ point of view. It’s endlessly fascinating to me to see how each language tackles some common problem differently.


I don’t see better. I see different. And I love different :)
especially if they are old and warty. (how do i love thee #emacs? )


Worth the read!

#emacs


wrote the last few blogs posts on https://janusworx.com/blog using #OrgMode in #Emacs and then copy pasted them and rewrote them using markdown


Wondering if it’s worth putting in the time, to move #Writing completely to Org mode using something like @kaushalmodi’s #OxHugo

#emacs, #orgmode, #OrgWebTools


Been copying text manually from web pages into my #Zettelkasten since last June.


A year into my journey, I realise, I could’ve just used Adam Porter’s (#alphapapa) org-web-tools package to scrape it straight into my org file! [1] Just select the link, M-x org-web-tools-insert-web-page-as-entry and …
Boom!
The whole page!
Properly formatted! In my org file!


Better late than never 😂


[1] which I had installed and ready all the time!

#TIL: with #Emacs #OrgMode


I wanted to expand all my entries in my Org file, to see how large it had gotten, so I looked up how to do it.


To expand all tabs (org-show-all)
C-u C-u Tab


To close tabs to the startup visibility of the buffer (org-set-startup-visibility)
C-u C-u C-u Tab


Tada!

#TIL in #Emacs and #OrgMode:


If i want to timestamp an entry, I use C-c .
and if I want to do this *without* causing it to appear in the agenda, I use C-c !


The second step is pretty handy for me to date my entries in my decision journal.
I want to keep track of when I made a significant decision and my rationale behind it.
But, not something I want popping up in my agenda :)
