@tusharhero My favorite thing in dired is r, aka wdired-change-to-wdired-mode from wdired.el: rename stuff by means of normal editing actions. Combined with keyboard macros, this is great for quick renaming of things according to a “pattern”.

This goes hand in hand with this recent significant clojure-ts-mode improvement, which had a noticeable impact in combination with aggressive-indent-mode.

I noticed a severe lag when invoking imenu in larger clojure namespaces with clojure-ts-mode. Traced it down to an inefficeny in clojure-ts--node-child-skip-metadata. With this fix invoking imenu g...
If you’re an
aggressive-indent-mode user like myself and your #Emacs feels sluggish sometimes: Check if you're running into aggressive-indent-mode leaking timers.
I had *hundreds* of them bogging down everything, most likely because of how I use it specifically in my setup. YMMV.
Bug description, fix and check for leaks: https://github.com/Malabarba/aggressive-indent-mode/pull/165

before-save-hook calls aggressive-indent--process-changed-list-and-indent directly, which empties the change list but does not cancel the repeating idle timer. On the next firing, the timer callbac...
@hell Emacs is where I spend the majority of my time, never quantified.
- dired is brilliant for file management
- magit for all your Git needs
- mastodon.el for mastodon
Useful communities...
- Follow #emacs tab on Mastodon (use advanced queue and add a column for it)
- EmacsStackexchange is a wealth of knowledge
- /r/emacs is useful
- @sacha newsletter
- Blogs! Too many to list (& my RSS server is currently down)

fresh baby #emacs user.. so gonna post a lot of stupid questions lmao. so question to emacs users - I've heard emacs jokingly(?) described as a whole os - how much of your pc time do you spend in it and what do you personally do in emacs other than file editing?
p.s. if youre a non-qwerty/z emacs user - would you send a dm?
p.p.s. what are good places to find an emacs community.. reddit? some good discord channels or bbforums?
I've released v2.0 of blogmore.el; my little #Elisp companion package for #BlogMore which makes it a little easier for me to write blog posts in #Emacs

After kicking off blogmore.el, and then tinkering with it more and more, I've found it really quite helpful while writing posts. One thing I have noticed though -- given I use BlogMore for this blog and my photoblog -- is that I wanted to be able to use the package for working with more than one blog.
Wenn ein ADHS-Gehirn Emacs entdeckt:
Erst willst du nur eine Notiz schreiben
drei Stunden später hast du dein komplettes Leben in Org-Mode automatisiert
das Dashboard in Gold eingefärbt und ein Lastenheft für einen Motocross-Tracker in LaTeX gesetzt.(also fast)
Chaos im Kopf, aber Perfektion im Buffer.
Mein Setup gibt es hier als PDF zu sehen, meine wilde Luzi

One can never have enough versions of the #catppuccin theme for #Emacs, so I've made one more! (https://github.com/bbatsov/batppuccin-emacs)

You probably know about M-x dired, the directory editor. But do you know about M-x proced, the process editor?
