17:28 UTC (new) (history) 2022-04-04 Warning about trying to setq a non-existent variable . . . . mbork – Some time ago I wrote about how I changed a value of one of Emacs’ internal variables to get the behavior I needed. As I mentioned, I submitted a bug report (apparently, I’m in a minority needing this, and I don’t expect it to be fixed in near future – but that doesn’t bother me much, since I have the workaround in place anyway). There is one thing that does bother me, though. If this bug gets solved at some point in time, and the variable js--declaration-keyword-re disappears (and some other one – without the two dashes – is created in its place), how do I know that?

12:29 UTC (new) (history) 2022-03-26 A nice use-case for pee . . . . mbork – Well, sorry for the click-bait-ish title;-)… Of course I meant this pee. It is similar to tee in that it can “split” the input stream, but while tee directs it to a few files (by default to stdout and to the given ones), pee directs it to pipes. You can give it names of commands and it will run them in succession and feed every one of them its input. (Unlike tee, it doesn’t put it to stdout, so you need an explicit cat to achieve that.) Here is a nice use-case.

06:18 UTC (new) (history) 2022-03-19 Variable-width font in the modeline . . . . mbork – Some time ago there was an experimental change on the master branch in Emacs, bringing “variable width” fonts to the modeline. The main problem with them is of course the fact that when a part of modeline on the left changed (even without changing the number of characters), the rest of it would “jump” because the width of the changed portion would not be constant anymore. Well, that is now fixed: such things now have a fixed width, so changing the modeline font to a variable-width one works very well.

16:47 UTC (new) (history) 2022-03-14 Proper indentation after a const in Emacs . . . . mbork – A few days ago I decided to finally fix one of the issues I had with JavaScript indentation in Emacs (in the default js-mode – I use js2-mode, which delegates indentation to js-mode). When using const to declare variables, and the declaration not fitting in one line, the indentation of the next line was broken...
