08:17 UTC (new) (history) 2025-02-22 Inserting Ledger transactions even faster . . . . mbork – After I wrote my mbork-ledger-insert-transaction command, bound it to C-c C-v (in Ledger mode only, of course) and started using it, I noticed a big problem with it. It only inserts the heading line of the transaction and its source account, leaving the line for the target account empty. The result is that I need to fill in that line manually, which defeats the purpose of inserting the whole transaction fast.

Recently I learned that Emacs has a nice feature which helps with that. Pressing M-s M-. (or M-s .) invokes the isearch-forward-thing-at-point command, which does exactly what you would expect. Very useful! In fact, pressing M-s C-h reveals even more usefulness. Try it out for yourself!

16:18 UTC (new) (history) 2025-02-01 ketchup.el . . . . mbork – A few years ago I wrote tomato.el, which I’ve been using ever since on a daily basis. I was not always happy with it, though. The main issue I had with it is that the 25 minute intervals seemed a little bit too rigid. Oftentimes I heard a ding meaning that a tomato has just ended, and I take a short break, which disrupted my flow. Other times the short break became a bit longer and my productivity plunged. Also, it was not rare that I finished some task and saw that only, say, 18 minutes passed, so what do I do for the next 7 so that I don’t “lose” my tomato?
