06:34 UTC (new) (history) 2016-02-20 Iedit mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – A week ago, I mentioned Iedit mode. This is a real gem. It’s not part of Emacs, but you can install it from Elpa, and you won’t regret it.

19:49 UTC (new) (history) 2016-02-13 Looking for keywords . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Assume that you want to look through some buffer – say, a log file or something – and you are especially interested in some keyword, say foo. The simplest way is to use isearch: you press C-s foo and repeatedly press C-s and/or C-r to jump from one occurrence to another. One problem with this approach is that isearch is kind of volatile: you exit isearch, and bam!, the keyword is no longer highlighted. This might or might not be what you want.

One thing I use a lot is tildes (these little ~ signs, which for LaTeX mean “unbreakable space”). [...] The problem with tildes is that they don’t look like spaces, and if you use them a lot, it becomes a bit more difficult to actually read the LaTeX source.

23:26 UTC (new) (history) 2016-01-23 Personal Information Managers – a rant . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I had this weird experience. A friend of mine wrote on some social media site that his daughter was born that day, and he asked (semi-jokingly, I guess) for wishes next year, for her first birthday. Of course, I immediately put the date into Org-mode, and promptly forgot about it...
