04:21 UTC (new) (history) 2017-06-17 Ways in which Emacs selects the major mode . . . . Marcin Borkowski – It is well-known that Emacs can select the major mode of a file depending on the file extension. It is probably lesser-known that this is only the fourth (!) step of deciding which major mode to use. Consult the "Choosing modes" section of the Emacs manual for the details. Here, I’d like to mention one particular case where I needed to look there.

09:44 UTC (new) (history) 2017-06-12 smart-next-window-or-buffer . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, I wrote about an Emacs command I started to use to switch between windows (if there is more than one of them) or buffers (otherwise). While it has proven very useful, since then I started to use multiple frames. It turned out that my command wasn’t all that useful then: it couldn’t switch to a buffer in another frame. I then decided to bind f6 to next-multiframe-window from windmove.el, and it worked better. However, there was still one gotcha: sometimes I wanted it to switch to another window in the same frame, and it switched to another frame instead. Well, how to teach Emacs what I really wanted?

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.
