Re: Use the Git History to Identify Pain Points in Any Project

One big problem with this is that it does not take into account frequency of edits over time. In an older code base a particular file will accumulate more edits even though it's not really a "pain point".

FYI, looks like the link for "emacs-doom-themes: An opinionated pack of modern color-themes" is wrong.

Re: Vim vs. Emacs: The Working Directory « null program

I personally would just use (projectile-project-root) and configure it to support any special cases I might have with my projects. Easier path for maintainability, I'd think.

If you haven't already checked out projectile[1], do it. There is a nice function `(projectile-project-root)` that works to find the root of your particular project for many project types. That is what I use to set `default-directory` in a let statement.

Exactly what I was looking for this morning. Thanks! 👍

Go figure we'd played Indiana a couple years ago. I need to figure out how to make these unique to the year.

Re: Ivy 0.8.0 is out · (or emacs

I just had an idea... I like using ivy-occur alot and kind of wish it was automatically executed. I was thinking it would be cool to have an idle timer set after starting one of the councel-* function. If no narrowing, navigation between selections happens in a defined interval, automatically pop the results into an ivy-occur buffer. People that don't want this behavior could set the timer to 0 to disable it.

Amen. While we know Emacs is indeed the superior choice, when I run across another vimer, I merely encourage them to continue to keep becoming more proficient in that editor. Holy war aside, it just makes sense from an efficiency perspective since we spend so much time editing text.

Re: A Short Guide to Kernel Debugging

Why did you rebuild the kernel src.rpm? Shouldn't you have been okay with just the debuginfo supplemental packages?

Turns out the proper answer is that I need to reprogram my fingers to type M-j instead: https://github.com/abo-abo/...

jonEbird — Sat, 17 Oct 2015 01:17:44 -0000

I tried it out, like it and even went so far to try out ivy-mode, etc. My biggest problem with replacing isearch is my habit of using C-w to automatically build up the search query from the word-or-char at point. I'm currently digging through the swiper code to see if I can add it.

*EDIT* Figured it out. It was naturally already defined but on M-j. I went ahead and duplicated C-w via: (define-key ivy-minibuffer-map (kbd "C-w") 'ivy-yank-word)

Glad I made a comment here or I would have missed your follow up. That is awesome. What do you have it bound to, out of curiosity?

Re: `org-goto`

jonEbird — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 12:00:52 -0000

My org files are huge too and navigating to the correct spot is indeed important. For me, I've been using imenu along with helm to navigate in my org files. I have helm-semantic-or-imenu bound to (C-c h i) and I can quickly narrow to the headings of interest. Also, if your org files have significant depth, you may want to increase org-imenu-depth. I have it set to 4.

And before using imenu & helm, I used a prefix call to org-refile, assuming you have your refiling targets inline with your typical navigation locations, it can be really handy.

Re: Run shell command on buffer or region

jonEbird — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 11:34:05 -0000

I too don't consider my elisp skills to be up to the job often and I use M-| a lot as well, but in your example parsing case I think I'd probably resort to using a macro to pull out the urls and then optionally run one more M-| (or M-!) to grep out just the lines I wanted.

Also, helpful to note for other readers that a prefix to M-| (C-u M-|) has the affect of replacing the region with the results of the shell command. I often will filter content with a common grep command ala C-u M-| grep <regexp>

Having been thinking about calling bankruptcy on my own config, I was just looking for your config the other day. Glad to see you've put it online.

BTW,running (ediff-setup-keymap) early in the ediff-mood-hook prevents the keymap from correctly assigning keys for a merge-job or 3way-comparison-job. I think you could use ediff-keymap-setup-hook but I haven't tested it.

Re: Kitchin on Using `helm` to Ease Navigation

I too was very comfortable with ido + smex. I then took a "helm experiment" detour and after a few weeks, I hit one annoyance and thought to go back and realized I couldn't because I grew too attached to helm. Only way forward is to fix & improve on any snags I now run into. Just beware when you do decide to jump in. :-)

Looks like Mark & Ben continue to have a lack of faith in the bucks.

Looks like we're all calling for the Bucks to roll today! (Even Ben) Go bucks!

Yee of little faith, Mark, Mike and Ben. (Not counting Travis since he's really a Cornhusker)

Re: What's the best spell check set up in emacs

I added to your flyspell-detect-ispell-args function an additional variable in the let statement: (ispell-program (file-name-nondirectory ispell-program-name))

My ispell-program-name defaults to the full path "/usr/bin/aspell" so wouldn't normally match with your string= test.

Travis is picking against the Bucks because Bama lost last week and he wants others to share in his wallowing.
