11:56 UTC (new) (history) 2015-12-12 Counting sentences . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I was a bit astonished that Emacs does not have a count-sentences function. I mean, how is counting sentences different from counting words or lines? You move one sentence/word/line at a time, incrementing a counter, and when you finish, you have the count. Admittedly, this is one thing Vim does better than Emacs.

06:32 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2015-11-28 Fixing mml-attach-file using advice . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Well, in that case there should be no need to use advice, just to change the function. I'll probably send a patch when I'm less busy. Thanks for . . .

18:23 UTC (new) (history) 2015-12-05 Emms and hydra . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I wrote a bit about my Emms setup. Well, I changed my computer now (after my old laptop died), and I no longer have convenient multimedia keys. So, I decided that I need to change my keybindings. I figured out that the time has finally come to play around with hydra.

22:56 UTC (new) (history) 2015-11-28 Fixing mml-attach-file using advice . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I use mu4e as my MUA, and I’m quite happy with it. (I toyed with the idea of setting up Gnus, but I can’t afford quitting my job to find the time for that;-).) However, one thing with the message mode (which mu4e uses) did annoy me a lot: the attachments.

00:47 UTC (new) (history) 2015-11-21 The Emacs widget library and automatic modification of editing fields . . . . Marcin Borkowski – A long time ago, I read about the Emacs Widget library. My first thought was “Wow, that is so cool!”. I didn’t have any use for that, however. Until recently.

21:30 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2015-11-14 A simple unfilling function . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Well, I didn't study that code (I didn't even know it existed), so it may be the case that the one you linked is better. However, my one has one . . .

07:20 UTC (new) (history) 2015-11-14 A simple unfilling function . . . . Marcin Borkowski – While the concept of filling text (i.e., putting hard newlines so that no line is longer than some limit) is well-known and very useful, the question about how to unfill some text (i.e., change all hard newlines to spaces) comes up again and again. The internet is full of solutions to that, but I never bothered to look into any of these – if I had a need to unfill a paragraph, I just used to set-fill-column to, say, ten thounsand and filled the paragraph. It was never a common thing for me to do, so I didn’t feel the need to optimize it. Until recently...
