Happy New Year! If you follow my blog, you may have noticed that I've been hosting it on lmno.lol for a while now, a blogging service I built (invitation-only until now). Why build a blogging platform There's been a resurgence in blogging of sorts. Wonderful in itself, but the popular platforms are fairly erm unfriendly to their readers. These...

Some time ago, I wrote about adding multiple cursor support to symbol-overlay by gluing the two packages together. If you're keen to learn how to bend Emacs to your way, have a look at that post. Later on, in a "Multiple cursors - how and why?" Reddit post, I showcased the overlay usage. Peter Oliver asked if the package could be submitted to...

A few days ago, Sacha Chua mentioned how cool it would be to have an Emacs video index like Ruby Video. I mentioned how I had similarly considered a low-tech solution, maybe powered by plain text (bonus points for org mode of course). A little later, Sacha shared a preliminary video feed dump, in org! With that, I wrote the first experiment to...

These days, my LLM interactions primarily take place via chatgpt-shell's compose UX. I've grown fond of this hybrid style of interaction. On sharing the latest incarnation, jllw asked about the possibility to port to comint shells. With jllw's great idea in mind, I set out to prototype an eshell pager, my preferred shell. The initial results...

LLM chats are often handy for refining answers to a question or task, part of a bigger goal. Navigating the chat transcript, copying and pasting, can be a frequent operation in the bigger goal. If we can do it more efficiently, the better. While chatgpt-shell offered chatgpt-shell-next-item and chatgpt-shell-previous-item commands, it had a few...

A few days ago, redditor gollyned asked about best practices: developing on top of modern elisp packages. It reminded of my modern Emacs lisp libraries post, which I shared with them. While my post is roughly 4.5 years old, these days I continue to reach out to the likes of seq.el, map.el, subr-x.el and let-alist.el on a regular basis. My post...

A week ago, I announced chatgpt-shell going multi-model. What I failed to mention is that because ob-chatgpt-shell (its org babel Emacs cousin) relies on chatgpt-shell, this babel package has now gone multi-model also. ob-chatgpt-shell follows the familiar babel form. To swap models, use the existing :version param as follows. #+begin_src...

chatgpt-shell includes a couple of mechanisms to operate on an Emacs buffer region. That is, select a region and ask the LLM robots to modify it for us. Until now, both of these mechanisms didn't quite close the loop. They could either modify current region or iterate on a separate solution, but never both. M-x chatgpt-shell-quick-insert While...

I'm a fan of macOS's auto-hide menu bar setting. Unless I'm reaching out to a menu item, I don't typically need to have a visible menu bar, so I set auto-hide to "Always". On rare occasions, I turn this setting off (say for a screen grab). While reaching out to macOS Control Center is OK, I wanted to quickly toggle it from the comfort of Emacs...

Since chatgpt-shell going multi-model, it was only a matter of time until we added support for local/offline models. As of version 2.0.6, chatgpt-shell has a basic Ollama implementation (llama3.2 for now). chatgpt-shell is more than a shell. Check out the demos in the previous post. For anyone keen on keeping all their LLM interactions offline,...

Over the last few months, I've been chipping at implementing chatgpt-shell's most requested and biggest feature: multi-model support. Today, I get to unveil the first two implementations: Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini. Changing course In the past, I envisioned a different path for multi-model support. By isolating shell logic into a new...

The chatgpt-shell package started as an experiment glueing the ChatGPT API to an Emacs comint buffer. Over time, it grew into several packages within the same repository: shell-maker, ob-chatgpt-shell, dall-e-shell, ob-dall-e-shell, and of course chatgpt-shell itself. I'm splitting the repository as a first step in reworking chatgpt-shell to...

It's been 5 years since I talked about showing/hiding Emacs dired details in style, a short post showcasing hide-details-mode (built-in) and diredfl (third-party). While my dired usage increased over the years, my dired config remained largely unchanged. Today, I'll show a new dired tweak. As you likely suspect by now, I'm a big fan of...

My significant other needed to share proof of address by providing a number of bank statements for a period of time. That's easy enough to download as pdfs from the bank, but statements typically provide more personal information than the recipient requires. For a proof of address, the first page is more than enough. macOS's Preview app can...

From time to time, I want to grab a source code viewport of sorts and feed to an LLM for questioning. From Emacs, I normally use chatgpt-shell's chatgpt-shell-prompt-compose, which automatically grabs the active region. This led me to explore a few options to select a region, or maybe even roll my own. I should also mention, these regions don't...

Well-ingrained into every Emacs user is the echo area, a one-stop shop to receive any kind of message from the editor, located at the bottom of the frame. Posting messages to this area from elisp couldn't be simpler: (message "Hello world") If we want to get a little fancier, we can propertize the text to add some styling. (message (propertize...

A couple of months ago, I introduced Ready Player Mode, an Emacs major mode used to peek at media files from my beloved text editor. The goal was simple. Treat opening media files like any other file, that is, open and go. The initial implementation served me well while reviewing lots of tiny audio files I used to practice learning a new...

It's been some time since the last release of *scratch* for iOS. If you haven't heard about *scratch*, it's a tiny app I built (part of the org bundle). *scratch* enables writing things on the go as quickly as possible. No need to create a new note. No need to bring keyboard up. Just open and write. Bonus: Basic Emacs org markup ;-) v1.3 (and...

I recently wrote about image-mode's next/previous item navigation, a feature I wanted to bring to ready player mode. I was curious to see how image-mode resolved next and previous files, so I checked the associated keybinding (n) via helpful-key (my preferred alternative to describe-key), and landed on image-next-file. While this function only...

For some years now, I've enjoyed macOS Ctrl-n/p movement everywhere. I sometimes forget I need Karabiner Elements to reach certain macOS corners. macOS supports many Emacs bindings (out of the box). Ctrl-n and Ctrl-p are some of my favourites. Not only can I use these to move the cursor up and down while editing text, but in many cases, for list...

Update: Doh! I was wrong. There's a better way. So, I totally missed the macOS native emoji picker is actually supported out of the box 😭. Thanks to redditor u/hrabannixlisp who pointed me in the right direction. ns-do-show-character-palette is bound to C-s-SPC by default, which didn't work for me as I use (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta), that...

Back in April, I introduced Fresh Eyes: a tiny macOS utility helping me take care of my eyes. I spend a bunch of time in front of a computer screen and Fresh Eyes has been helping me stick with the often recommended 20-20-20 rule. Fresh Eyes 1.7 ships a handful of improvements suggested by users: Postpone Fresh Eyes for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours,...

A few weeks ago, I announced Ready Player Mode's availability on GitHub. As of today, you can find it on MELPA. Ready Player Mode is a lightweight major mode to open media (audio/video) files in an Emacs buffer. Install, enable via M-x ready-player-mode and you should be good to go. Open and preview media files (audio + video) like other files....

I've written about macosrec before. A tiny macOS command line utility I built to take screenshots or videos of my macOS windows. Sure, there are a gazillion utilities out there, but I wanted my own, so I could bend and integrate with Emacs buffers as needed. If you've seen me post a screenshot or gif after April 2023, it was likely taken with...

I've written before, once you learn a little elisp, Emacs becomes this hyper malleable editor/platform. A live playground of sorts, where almost everything is up for grabs. You can inspect and tweak behaviour of just about anything to your liking. While the compounding benefits of using your favourite Emacs utilities are evident over time,...

As an Emacs user, I eventually made the leap over to dired as my file manager of choice. Dired has magical things like wdired. But this post isn't so much about dired and more about the occasional need to peek at media files (images, audio, and video) from Emacs (including dired). To view images in Emacs, there's image mode, a fantastic major...

While most of my Emacs workflows are typically keyboard-driven, I'm fairly pragmatic about mouse usage. My MacBook's trackpad is great for just kicking back to read and scroll through text. There are brief times, however, when that keyboard-driven muscle memory overlaps my mouse usage, resulting in a buffer catastrophe. I joke of course. What I'm...

Emacs wdired is a beautiful thing. You turn a directory representation into an editable buffer and you can do some magic. By magic, I mean you can apply your favourite text-editing commands to a directory and do some file management. Take, for example, batch-renaming. Turn wdired on via dired-toggle-read-only, use something like Magnar's...

A couple of days ago, I introduced Fresh Eyes, a little macOS utility to help me practice the 20-20-20 rule and take better care of my vision while on the computer. Today, Fresh Eyes was approved and is now available on the macOS App Store.

I've been lucky to have enjoyed healthy vision throughout my life. That is, until recently. Nothing major, I'll need glasses for some activities. I also learned from the optometrist I should follow the 20-20-20 rule to reduce eye strain. The 20-20-20 rule is simple: Take a break from looking at your computer screen every 20 minutes and look away...

It was only last week when I upgraded to Emacs 29.2. Yup, I was late to the party. This week, we have a new release. Emacs 29.3 is an emergency bugfix release, so this time I've upgraded promptly. I'm on macOS using the great Emacs Plus so upgraded via Homebrew using: brew reinstall emacs-plus@29 --with-imagemagick --with-no-frame-refocus...

By default, Emacs typically displays curly arrows when wrapping lines. While likely a handy feature to some, I didn't really find much use for it. At the same time, I never looked into their removal until now. Turns out, there's a continuation entry in fringe-indicator-alist variable that handles this. Removing this entry also removes the curly...

I have three apps on the App Store: Plain Org, Flat Habits, and scratch. Plain Org / plainorg.com My more generic solution to access org files on the go and away from Emacs. Flat Habits / flathabits.com My take on frictionless habit tracking truly respecting user privacy and their time (absolutely no distractions). *scratch* / App Store Sure, we...

Lately, I've been slightly obsessed with Som Tam, a magnificent salad packing both crunch and flavour. I didn't have all the right ingredients for the full-blown salad at home, so I set out to experiment with the dressing's punchy flavours. While I've gone a little rogue here, I mean no disrespect to the faithful recipe and all its glory....

Emacs 29 introduced the handy sqlite-mode. Soon after, I tried a couple of experiments here and there to bring additional functionality. Folks reached out. The additions seemed useful to them and were keen on upstreaming or pushing to MELPA. While I can't commit to upstreaming at this moment, I can happily meet halfway on MELPA. As of a couple of...

It's been roughly 9 months since I experimented with wiring the ChatGPT API to an Emacs comint buffer in chatgpt-shell. ChatGPT's request-response nature maps fairly well to a shell's mode of interaction. In the past, I've also talked about blurring the lines between shell and editor. That is, using Emacs as your shell (eshell being my favourite)...

I've enjoyed watching A Murder at the End of the World. The show may resonate with folks following the tech world. Won't say much more than that… What I can maybe say is, the shows features Reddit, Brave browser, terminal usage (ifconfig, nmap, hydra, responder), and a reference to the good 'ol Vi vs Emacs rivalry, which I hope folks these days...

Needed a VPN to test an API from a different location. Gave Mullvad a try. Pretty neat, you can generate an account number without providing an email address. You can also pre-pay with a ton of options, including cash, crypto, credit cards, PayPal, wire transfers… After seeing your account credited, one can download a generated WireGuard...

I've been experimenting with building a rich text editing component for iOS, powered by org markup. The idea is to offer a mobile-friendly editing experience, backed by our beloved plain text format. To make things a little more interesting, I'm introducing a new org-based app to help anyone with regular journaling. 👉 Meet ✨Journelly✨ Plain text...

#+ATTR_HTML: :style text-align:right; ✨sponsor✨ this content I've been toying with the idea of managing browser bookmarks from you know where. Maybe dump a bunch of links into an org file and use that as a quick and dirty bookmark manager. We'll start with a flat list plus fuzzy searching and see how far that gets us. The org file would look a...

Once you learn a little elisp, Emacs becomes this hyper malleable editor/platform. A live playground of sorts, where almost everything is up for grabs at runtime. Throw some elisp at it, and you can customize or extend almost anything to your heart's content. I say almost, as there's a comparatively small native core, that would typically require...

Note to self, I needed to migrate/re-encrypt someone's password store (aka pass). Straightforward: Get the new key, probably already in gpg key chain. Try listing it: gpg --list-keys To re-encrypt, pass init with new key is enough. It'll prompt for old pass key. cd path/to/.password-store pass init NEW-GPG-KEY

I'm neither a burger expert nor a connoisseur of any kind, yet I sure have a lot of fun smashing burgers at home. Needless to say, I shamelessly enjoy gobbling them too! my smash burger I'll share details on how I smash my burgers, but here's a quick ingredient list, if that's all you need. Mince beef (20%-30% fat). Streaky bacon. Brioche burger...

I live mostly in Emacs. I say mostly 'cause well, I'm fairly pragmatic about it. If there's a workflow elsewhere that's more appropriate for my needs, I'll happily use that instead. While I'd love to do my web browsing from my beloved editor, Firefox ticks the right boxes for me. I do most of my iOS coding in Emacs. It's a hybrid of sorts between...

UPDATE: This method no longer works for creating iCloud accounts. I'd love to know if you find an alternative. Please let me know. I wanted an additional @icloud.com account for myself. My first thought was to head over to https://developer.apple.com and create a new account, but that requires an existing email address. I wanted an actual...

A benefit of running Emacs as a GUI app, is that you can view images from your beloved editor. This is super handy to take a quick peek at any image. Sometimes, I'd like a little more than just viewing the image. I'd like to see basic image details like type, dimensions, and file size. The imagemagick identify utility is pretty handy for that....

A quick one… I recently wanted to trim the black borders around a video screenshot. While I could use an image editor to manually select and trim, I wondered if there was an imagemagick trick somewhere out there for such a thing… and of course there was: magick convert -fuzz 3% -define trim:percent-background=0% -trim +repage path/to/input.png...

While on Mastodon, I spotted @summeremacs looking into sending Emacs text selections to a Kindle via email. This sparked my interest as I previously looked into sending pdfs to my Kindle via mu4e. Kindle offers a neat service where you can email a file to your @kindle.com address and it automatically shows up in your Kindle library. I already do...

As I was getting ready to take an Emacs screenshot in the previous post, I figured I may want to redact email addresses before moving forward. I had a quick look for existing options and found redacted.el, built-in toggle-rot13-mode, and unpackaged/lorem-ipsum-overlay. All great options. I wanted a solution I could feed a single regular...

From time to time, I need to generate a SHA-256 hash from a file hosted on some server. For me, this flow typically goes something along the lines of: Copy the file URL from browser.

Artur Malabarba's Debugging Elisp Part 1: Earn your independence is nearly a decade old, yet it rings just as true today. Learning to Edebug really "is the right decision for anyone who doesn't know how to Edebug." Why, you may ask? He best puts it as "running into errors is not only a consequence of tinkering with your editor, it is the only...

I've continued poking at Emacs 29's sqlite-mode. Since my last post on extensions, I've experimented a little with adding a handful of interactive functions: sqlite-mode-extras-compose-and-execute: Compose and execute a query. sqlite-mode-extras-execute: Execute a query. sqlite-mode-extras-add-row: Add row to table at point....

My significant other and I had two plastic Tesco Clubcards. I lost mine, so I took a picture of hers. I was fairly certain a barcode photo would scan just as well at self-checkout, and it did. This got me thinking about Apple's Wallet pkpasses. I don't really know much about them. Could I potentially create my own .pkpass? If I could just include...

I recently wrote about Emacs 29's new sqlite-mode, which enables you to browse sqlite databases from your beloved editor. Out of the box, it supports the following browsing features: sqlite-mode-list-data: List the data from the table under point. sqlite-mode-list-column: List the columns of the table under point. sqlite-mode-list-tables: Re-list...

I've jumped on the Emacs 29 bandwagon! Mickey Petersen has a great rundown of What's New in Emacs 29.1. Now every so often, I need to take a quick peek at an sqlite3 table. Emacs 29.1 ships sqlite-mode, which can help with that. Use sqlite-mode-open-file to open a database. Pressing RET on a table shows its content via sqlite-mode-list-data. DEL...

Another day, another tool brought to my Emacs fingertips. A while ago, I wrote about easily copying text from desktop to mobile via QR codes. Later on, I brought it under dwim-shell-command as dwim-shell-commands-clipboard-to-qr. This time around, I needed the opposite: to scan a code from an image file. This is where zbar's zbarimg comes in....

It's been roughly a decade since I wrote any significant amount of JavaScript. Back then, I primarily relied on the Google Closure Compiler, now maybe an archaeological artefact? These days, it's hard not to bump into any JavaScript project that doesn't rely on npm, along with many other tools like the Typescript compiler, ESLint, Prettier… There...

Emacs is a part-time job. A multi-language development environment. A lisp machine. An email client. A web browser. A zettelkasten. A spreadsheet. A mastodon client. A shell. A ledger. A super agenda. An operating system. Some say it sends ripples into the atmosphere or plays tetris for you. It may even warm your place up during the winter. Can...

Back in April, I shared chatgpt-shell updates, showcasing chatgpt-shell features. It's been a little while, so here's an update with the latest additions. Like this project? Consider ✨sponsoring✨.

James Dyer has a nice post sharing his frequent dired need to duplicate files. He offers a solution using a custom interactive command. His use-case resonated with me. Similarly, James' recommendation to bind his file-duplicating command to C-c d [^1] sent a signal to my brain triggering Bozhidar Batsov's crux-duplicate-current-line-or-region....

I recently wanted a few images stitched together. A perfect job for ImageMagick. A quick search yielded the magical incantation: convert image1.jpg image2.jpg image3.jpg +append joined.jpg Great, now I know, but I'll rarely use it and will soon forget it. I may as well add it to my repository of DWIM command line utilities, wrapped in a...

While Org babel's noweb isn't something I've frequently used for literate programming, its simplicity makes it rather versatile to glue all sorts of babel things I hadn't previously considered. The idea is simple. Add a placeholder like > to an org babel source block, and it will be automatically replaced (verbatim) with the content (or result)...

Adding hooks and setting variables is core to customizing Emacs. Take a major mode like emacs-lisp-mode as an example. To customize its behaviour, one may add a hook function to emacs-lisp-mode-hook, or if you're a little lazy while experimenting, you may even use a lambda. (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook #'my/emacs-lisp-mode-config)...

At times, basic prints/logs are just about the right debugging strategy. Sure, we have debuggers and REPLs which are super useful, but sometimes you just know that sprinkling your code with a handful of temporary prints/logs will get you enough info to fix an issue. I must confess, my temporary print statements are fairly uninspiring. Sometimes I...

You can now use dwim-shell-command on Windows. Shoutout to Kartik Saranathan, who sent a pull request to get rid of ls usage. Also thanks to Bram for sharing his upload to 0x0.st implementation.

In chatgpt-shell updates, I highlighted dall-e-shell (a DALL-E Emacs shell), ob-chatgpt-shell (ChatGPT org babel support), and ob-dall-e-shell (DALL-E org babel support) were initially excluded from the chatgpt-shell MELPA submission while I worked out their split. That's now sorted and the packages are available on MELPA. Here's ob-chatgpt-shell...

While there's no substitution for great written documentation, a quick demo can go a long way in conveying what a tool if capable of doing or what a tip/trick can achieve. If you've read a handful of my posts, you would have come across either a screenshot or a short clip with some demo. Historically, I've used the macOS's built-in utility...

While experimenting with delegating Markdown blocks to Org babel in Emacs chatgpt-shell, I resurrected ob-swiftui. A package I had written to execute and render SwiftUI blocks in org babel. ob-swiftui has two modes of rendering SwiftUI blocks: :results window, which runs outside of Emacs in a native window and :results file, which renders and...

The adorable and colorful little fella in my mode line is a Nyan Cat (if...

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an experiment to bring ChatGPT to Emacs as a shell. I was fairly new to both ChatGPT and building anything on top of comint. It was a fun exercise, which also generated some interest. As mentioned in the previous post, I took inspiration in other Emacs packages (primarily ielm) to figure out what I needed from...

UPDATE: chatgpt-shell has evolved a bit and is now on MELPA. I had been meaning to give ChatGPT a good try, preferably from Emacs. As an eshell fan, ChatGPT seemed like the perfect fit for a shell interface of sorts. With that in mind, I set out to wire ChatGPT with Emacs's general command interpreter (comint). I had no previous experience...

I had been meaning to check out David Wilson's System Crafters post detailing his presentations style achieved with the help of org-present and his own customizations. If you're looking for ways to present from Emacs itself, David's post is well worth a look. org-present's spartan but effective approach resonated with me. David's touches bring...

About a week ago, I added an Emacs function to insert SF symbol names. This is specially useful for SwiftUI. I didn't bother too much with inserting symbols themselves since I hadn't figured out a way to render them for all buffers. That's now changed. Christian Tietze and Alan Third both have useful posts in this space: Emacs, fonts and fontsets...

For inserting SF Symbols in SwiftUI, I typically rely on Apple's SF Symbols app to browse the symbols's catalog. Once I find a symbol I'm happy with, I copy its name and paste it into my Swift source. This works fairly well. With Christian Tietze recently posting how he rendered SF Symbols in Emacs, I figured there may be a way to shift the above...

On a recent mastodon post, Chris Spackman mentioned he uses Emacs to save ffmpeg commands he's figured out for later usage. Emacs is great for this kind of thing. I've tried different approaches over time and eventually landed on dwim-shell-command, a small package I wrote. Like Chris, I also wanted a way to invoke magical incantations of known...

Back in 2020, I wrote a semi-automatic yasnippet to generate Swift initializers. I say semi-automatic because it could have been a little smarter. While it helped generate some of the code, what I really wanted was full context-aware generation. The Swift struct already had a few properties defined, so a smarter yasnippet should have been able to...

Every so often, I need to kill the odd unresponsive process. While I really like proced (check out Mickey Petersen's article), I somehow find myself using macOS's Activity Monitor to this purpose. Kinda odd, considering I prefer to do these kinds of things from Emacs. What I'd really like is a way to quickly fuzzy search a list of active...

A few weeks ago, I added an "open with" command to dwim-shell-commands.el. It's pretty handy for opening files using an external app (ie. not Emacs) other than the default macOS one. dwim-shell-commands-macos-open-with and dwim-shell-commands-open-externally are typically enough for me to handle opening files outside of Emacs. But every now and...

I was recently browsing through an old archive of holiday photos (from dired of course). I wanted to know where the photo was taken, which got me interested in extracting Exif metadata. Luckily the exiftool command line utility does the heavy lifting when it comes to extracting metadata. Since I want it quickly accessible from Emacs (in either...

The *scratch* buffer is the first thing I see when I launch an Emacs session. Coupled with persistent-scratch, it's served me well over the years. I gotta say though, my scratch buffer accumulates random bits and often becomes a little messy. It's not the most visually appealing landing buffer when launching Emacs. But who cares, I'm only a C-x b...

On a recent Reddit comment, tdstoff7 asked if I had considered writing an "Open with" DWIM shell command for those times one would like to open a file externally using an app other than the default. I hadn't, but nice idea. Take images as an example. Though Emacs can display them quickly, I also open images externally using the default app...

A quick follow-up to Emacs: macOS sharing (DWIM style)… Though functional, the implementation had a couple of drawbacks. Tohiko noticed fullscreen wasn't working at all while Calvin proposed enumeration for tighter Emacs integration. Calvin's suggestion enables using completing-read to pick the sharing service.

UPDATE: See an improved implementation here. A few days ago, I wrote dwim-shell-commands-macos-reveal-in-finder. While I've written a bunch of other dwim-shell-commands, what set this case apart was the use of Swift to glue an Emacs workflow. (defun dwim-shell-commands-macos-reveal-in-finder () "Reveal selected files in macOS Finder." ...

Just the other day, Graham Voysey filed an escaping bug against dwim-shell-command. Once he verified the the fix, he also posted two uses of dwim-shell-command-on-marked-files. I've made some small tweaks, but here's the gist of it: (defun dwim-shell-commands-feh-marked-files () "View all marked files with feh." (interactive) ...

dwim-shell-command is a little Emacs package I wrote to enable crafting more reusable shell commands. I intended to use it as an async-shell-command alternative (and I do these days). The more surprising win was bringing lots of command-line utilities (sometimes with complicated invocations) and making them quickly accessible. I no longer need to...

If you haven't heard of Plain Org, it gives you access to org files on iOS while away from your beloved Emacs. Hadn't had time to post, but v1.5 has been available on the App Store for a couple of weeks now. The update is mostly a bugfix release, primarily addressing inline editing issues that appeared on iOS 16, along with a few other changes:...

Setting Emacs up to use your system trash can potentially save your bacon if you mistakenly delete a file, say from dired. Unsurprisingly, the trash safety net also extends to other Emacs areas. For example, discarding files from Magit (via magit-discard) becomes a recoverable operation. As an eshell user, the trash can also help you recover from...

Last year, I wrote a little script to cycle through window layouts via Hammerspoon. The cycling set I chose didn't stick, so here's another go. function reframeFocusedWindow() local win = hs.window.focusedWindow() local maximizedFrame = win:screen():frame() maximizedFrame.x = maximizedFrame.x + 15 maximizedFrame.y = maximizedFrame.y +...

Somewhat recently, I wanted to quickly create an empty/transparent png file. ImageMagick's convert has you covered here. Say you want a transparent 200x400 image, you can get it with: convert -verbose -size 200x400 xc:none empty200x400.png Great, I now know the one-liner for it. But because I'm in the mood of saving these as seamless command-line...

Just the other day, I received a restaurant menu split into a handful of image files. I wanted to forward the menu to others but figured I should probably send it as a single file. ImageMagick's convert command-line utility works great for this purpose. Feed it some images and it creates a pdf for you: convert image1.png image2.png image3.png...

I recently ran a little experiment to bring macOS's long-press-accents-like behavior to Emacs. What I forgot to mention is that macOS's character viewer just works from our beloved editor. If you have a newer MacBook model, you can press the 🌐 key to summon the emoji picker (character viewer). You may need to set this key binding from macOS...

I continue hunting for use-cases I can migrate to dwim-shell-command… After adding clipboard support (via []{#cb}) I found one more. Copy URL from browser. Invoke dwim-shell-commands-mpv-stream-clipboard-url. Enjoy picture in picture from Emacs ;) What's the secret sauce? Very little. Invoke the awesome mpv with a wrapping function using...

macOS has a wonderful input mechanism where you press and hold a key on your keyboard to display the accent menu. It's easy to internalize: long press "a" if you want to input "á". On Emacs, C-x 8 ' a would be the equivalent, but it just didn't stick for me. Fortunately, there's an alternative, using dead keys. Mickey Petersen gives a wonderful...

Added a few improvements to dwim-shell-command. Dired region In DWIM style, if you happen to have a dired region selected, use region files instead. There's no need to explicitly mark them. Clipboard (kill-ring) replacement Use > to substitute with clipboard content. This is handy for cloning git repos, using a URL copied from your browser. git...

> gets replaced by a clipboard (kill ring) URL My pull request to add dwim-shell-command to melpa has been merged. Soon, you'll be able to install directly from Milkypostman’s Emacs Lisp Package Archive. dwim-shell-command is another way to invoke shell commands from our beloved editor. Why a different way? It does lots of little things for you,...

I'm a fan of the unzip command line utility that ships with macOS. I give it a .zip file and it unzips it for me. No flags or arguments to remember (for my typical usages anyway). Most importantly, I've fully internalized the unzip command into muscle memory, probably because of its perfect mnemonic. But then there's .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, .rar,...

As I prune my Emacs config off, I came across a forgotten bit of elisp I wrote about 6 years ago. While it's not going to power up your Emacs fu, it may lift your spirits, or maybe just aid discovery of new words. You see, I had forgotten about zone.el altogether: a fabulous package to tickle your heart. You can think of it as screensaver built...

UPDATE: dwim-shell-command is now available on melpa. I keep on goofying around with dwim-shell-command and it's sibling dwim-shell-command-on-marked-files from dwim-shell-command.el. In addition to defaulting to zsh, dwim-shell-command-on-marked-files now support other shells and languages. This comes in handy if you have snippets in different...

UPDATE: dwim-shell-command is now available on melpa. With a recent look at writing DWIM shell commands, I've been revisiting my custom Emacs functions invoking command line utilities. Take this post, for example, where I invoke qpdf via a elisp. Using the new dwim-shell-command--on-marked-files in dwim-shell-command.el, the code is stripped down...

UPDATE: dwim-shell-command is now available on melpa. Since writing a DWIM version of the shell-command, I've been having a little fun revisiting command line utilities I sometimes invoke from my beloved editor. In this instance, converting a png file to an icns icon. What's more interesting about this case is that it's not just a one-liner, but...

UPDATE: dwim-shell-command is now available on melpa. I've talked about DWIM before, where I bend Emacs to help me do what I mean. Emacs is also great for wrapping command-line one-liners with elisp, so I can quickly invoke commands without thinking too much about flags, arguments, etc. I keep thinking the shell-command is ripe for plenty of...

UPDATE: Check out Password-protect current pdf (revisted) for a simpler version. Every so often, I need to password-protect a pdf. On macOS, Preview has a simple solution, but I figured there must be a command line utility to make this happen. There are options, but qdf did the job just fine. qpdf --verbose --encrypt USER-PASSWORD OWNER-PASSWORD...

Plain Org v1.4 is now available on the App Store. I was on a long flight recently 🦘, so I gave list and checkbox editing a little love. There's a couple of other minor improvements included.

I've talked about DWIM in the past, that wonderful Emacs ability to do what ✨I✨ mean. Emacs being hyper-configurable, we can always teach it more things, so it can do exactly what we mean.

When building software for the Apple ecosystem, Xcode is often the editor of choice. With Emacs being my personal preference, I rarely find other iOS devs with a similar mindset. When I saw Mikael Konradsson's post describing his Emacs Swift development setup, I reached out to say hello. While exchanging tips and tricks, the topic of searching...

Although Plain Org v1.2 has been in the App Store for a little while, the release write-up was overdue, sorry. The update receives some new features and bugfixes.

While adding more rendering capabilities to Plain Org, it soon became apparent some sort of screenshot/snapshot testing was necessary to prevent regressing existing features. That is, we first generate a rendered snapshot from a given org snippet, followed by some visual inspection, right before we go and save the blessed snapshot (often referred...

The App Store is a crowded space when it come to markdown apps. A quick search yields a wonderful wealth of choice. Kinda overwhelming, but a great problem to have nonetheless. For those of us with org as our markup of choice, the App Store is far less crowded. I wish we could fill more than a screen's worth of search results, so you know… I...

A month ago, I posted about my desire to bring org tasks/TODOs to iOS and make them quickly available from my iPhone. Since then, I've received some great feedback, which I've been slowly chipping away at. My intent isn't so much to move my org workflow over to iOS, but to supplement Emacs while away from my laptop. As of now, this is what the...

I'm an org mode fan. This blog is powered by org. It's more of an accidental blog that started as a single org file keeping notes. I use org babel too. Oh and org habits. My never-ending list of TODOs is also powered by org. I manage all of this from Emacs and peek at TODOs using org agenda. This all works really well while I'm sitting in front...

From Christian Tietze's Open macOS Finder Window in Emacs Dired, I learned about reveal-in-osx-finder. This is handy for the few times I want to transition from Emacs to Finder for file management.

This release implements a few of features requested by users. Multiday...

Not long ago, I made a note to go back and read Mac for Translators's Emacs regex with Emacs lisp post. The author highlights Emacs's ability to apply additional logic when replacing text during a search-and-replace session. It does so by leveraging elisp expressions. Coincidentally, a redditor recently asked What is the simplest way to apply a...

Back in May 2020, I shared a snippet to extend ob-swift to preview SwiftUI layouts using Emacs org blocks. When I say extend, I didn't quite modify ob-swift itself, but rather advised org-babel-execute:swift to modify its behavior at runtime. Fast-forward to June 2021 and Scott Nicholes reminded me there's still interest in org babel SwiftUI...

I recently tweeted that Vivek Haldar's 10-year old post rings true today just the same. He writes about the levels of Emacs proficiency. All 6 levels are insightful in their own right, but for the sake of this post, let's quote an extract from level 4. Shell inside Emacs: "And then, you learned about it: M-x shell. It was all just text. Why did...

Had been a while since I looked into generating Xcode projects from a Swift package. On my latest use of the generate-xcodeproj subcommand, I was greeted by a nice warning surprise… swift package generate-xcodeproj Xcode can handle Swift packages directly. Similarly, xcodebuild can handle them too. This isn't new. It's likely been available since...

When enabled, the character " I get the occasional ping to package the code from this post and publish it on melpa. Finally gave it a go. Moved the code here. This was my first time publishing on melpa. The process was very smooth. Big thanks to melpa volunteers!

Update: There's a DWIM follow-up for searching. I was a rather puzzled the first time I spotted DWIM in an Emacs interactive command name. Don't think I remember what the command itself was, but what's important here is that DWIM stands for do what I mean. I love DWIM interactive commands. They enable commands to be smarter and thus pack more...

A recent Hacker News post, Ask HN: Favorite Blogs by Individuals, led me to dust off my oldie but trusty command to extract comment links. I use it to dissect these wonderful references more effectively. You see, I wrote this command back in 2015. We can likely revisit and improve. The enlive package continues to do a fine job fetching, parsing,...

Though it was fairly straightforward, I did miss Emacs Plus's convenience. I had...

As I find myself moving more shell commands into Emacs interactive commands to create a Swift package/project, enrich dired's featureset, or search/play Music (macOS), I often need to take a single space-separated string, make an elisp list of strings, and feed it to functions like process-lines.
