Morgan finally overcomes her fear of Emacs and we talk about Morgan and Christine's respective experiences learning it, and how you can pick it up too!
Our talks tomorrow at FOSDEM's Declarative and Minimalistic Computing room:
Switching capslock and ctrl stuff: (it's a great idea even if you don't use Emacs; many keyboards used to have ctrl key where capslock now is, and much advanced program use benefits from keyboard shortcuts):
On Guix:
(keyboard-layout "us" #:options '("caps:ctrl_modifier" "shift:both_capslock"))in your system configuration both makes capslock a ctrl and allows you to press both shift keys at once to enable capslock behavior (should you want such a thing)And actually there's a whole EmacsWiki page about it
Links:
Emacs Themes… find one that's right for you!
Sacha Chua, whose blog is full of awesome emacs and emacs news posts, and who also releases lots of great videos about Emacs!
mu4e, ERC, crdt.el (video)… many more emacs tools mentioned, not all linked! Trying to be comprehensive would result in a trip to the
M-x doctorfor sure…wireworld-el, Christine's (minimalist) implementation of the wireworld cellular automata (cellular automata circuits!)
And yes, it turns out you CAN annotate PDFs in emacs, using the pdf-tools package!
