#emacs saves me again! I like to generate my bibtex keys automatically with bibtex-generate-autokey, but sometimes the generated key can be wrong so I wanted a way to confirm/edit the key before commiting to it. It's so simple it fits nicely in this toot:

(advice-add 'bibtex-generate-autokey
:filter-return
(lambda (key)
(read-string "key: " key)))

Reminds me of "Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of #Orgmode."

Today they're adding a CLI.

Next a REPL.

In a couple of years maybe a decent programming language.

If you want all the fun just now without the lock in effects of #Obsidian, take a look at the cool features of https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/ 😉

#Emacs #publicvoit

Found the orignal net.sources post of #emacs source for MicroEmacs which also became mg. Got a call from the #amiga engineers who wanted to use it themselves.

If you use Imenu with prog-mode, this post might be of interest.

#emacs

Help!

I haven't been able to open #Emacs in a couple of weeks for reasons.

Today I open it, it auto-updates all my packages, and now something is broken. I cleaned up all the caches and all the packages and rebuild/recompiled/reinstalled everything from scratch.

Is there some breaking change that I'm not aware of in some major or frequently used packages?

Like in org-mode or in vertico/consult?

I'm getting crazy...

Edit: solved

Configurare Emacs (in questo caso org-roam) per funzionare come uno zettelkasten....
Se vi pare roba esoterica date un'occhiata:

Emacs è super ostico per chi vi si addentra, ma poi funziona talmente bene (una volta che ti sei rotto la testa a studiare come configurartelo) che diventa imprescindibile. Sì, Joplin è molto più immediato, ma Emacs....ci puoi fare tutto quel che ti pare e configurarlo come vuoi in ogni minimo e recondito dettaglio !

Bonus in più: Emacs gira anche su un pc di 20 anni fa con la potenza di una calcolatrice omaggio del Dixan...

Non vi addentrate in Emacs se vi piacciono le tane del bianconiglio....
