09:20 UTC (new) (history) 2017-06-05 More Dired goodies . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I wrote about a few nice Dired features. Recently, I decided to look at the Dired chapter of the Emacs manual, and I discovered even more of them.

03:52 UTC (new) (history) 2017-05-29 org-toggl . . . . Marcin Borkowski – While I do not usually like commercial, cloud-based services, sometimes I am forced to use them. I belong to a team which uses Toggl to track their time. Needless to say, I prefer to use Org-mode. Therefore I wrote a very simple interface which enables me to use Org-mode and synchronize the clocking data with Toggl. I share it here in case anyone might need something like that: https://github.com/mbork/org-toggl. It has a few limitations (mentioned in the README). I will most probably not put any effort to overcome them (they don’t bother me, really), but I’ll be happy to accept PRs if someone wants to do something about them.

19:11 UTC (new) (history) 2017-05-17 Some emacs-devel humor . . . . Marcin Borkowski – As you may have noticed, I’ve blogging here regularly once per week (on average) for a couple of years now. Since tomorrow I’m going for a short vacation without my laptop, instead of posting the next article around Sunday, I do it now. And since I’ve been extremely busy lately, I only have a short, light-hearted thing to say. Here you have a short quotation from the emacs-devel mailing list (anonymized to protect the innocent;-)).

05:47 UTC (new) (history) 2017-05-15 Smerge mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, when fixing yet another merge conflict, I noticed something I didn’t know about: it turned out that Emacs enabled something called Smerge mode in the buffer with the conflict markers. I pressed C-h m and learned that it’s quite useful! You can easily leave one or the other version (at each conflict), concatenate both versions (effectively deleting the conflit markers), move to the previous or next conflict etc. I did not analyse all of its commands yet, but even this limited subset is very useful. Also, Smerge mode turned itself off after resolving (this way or another) the last remaining conflict. Very nice!
