Show me your #emacs keybindings that you put into existing global submaps that you feel are intuitive.

Here are some of mine:

Under C-x v (for VC stuff):
("C-x v t" . git-gutter-mode)
("C-x v s" . git-gutter:stage-hunk)
("C-x v n" . git-gutter:next-hunk)
("C-x v p" . git-gutter:previous-hunk)
("C-x v T" . git-timemachine)
("C-x v R" . browse-at-remote)

Under M-g for error navigation:
("M-g M-l" . flymake-show-buffer-diagnostics)

In the C-x map to complement C-x u:
("C-x C-u" . vundo)

And a better use for C-x C-o (overriding delete-blank-lines):
("C-x C-o" . browse-url-at-point)

Technically these are reserved or taken spots but I like these bindings enough to make an exception for them.

In a previous toot thread we've been talking about ways to launch processes from Emacs in a way that lets them survive Emacs exiting, crashing or restarting via M-x restart-emacs.

The best way I've found so far:

The key is the 0 as the third argument, this causes Emacs to discard the output and not wait for the process.

I use it like this for my EXWM command launcher function:

Previously I used start-process-shell-command and nohup but that accumulated defunct processes when using M-x restart-emacs. The call-process-shell-command with the 0 arg doesn't seem to have that problem and it doesn't need nohup. This is a bit counter intuitive because call-process is supposed to be for synchronous processes. Not sure if make-process (the async primitive) can do this the same way.

If somebody is familiar with how/why exactly this works I'd love to hear your thoughts.

#emacs #exwm

Here is a small #zsh config snippet I use to enter #tmux copy-mode and scroll up when sitting at the zsh prompt. It's a zsh binding rather than tmux because I only want this at the prompt. The behavior maps nicely to what M-v does in #emacs.

I also have this tmux binding to make C-g break out of copy-mode to help maintain the Emacs feel:

mastodon.el users who are running it against mastodon.social: Do you ever get slow replies or timeouts or images not loading? I've been seeing a bunch of those lately even when normal webui access works. I wonder if it might be some kind of rate limiting issue? Currently it's speedy but yesterday it was struggling quite a bit.

Next time it happens I will try to enable url-debug to see if I can see anything in that. Other debugging ideas are welcome too!
