17:21 UTC (new) (history) 2024-05-20 Org-clockify . . . . mbork – A long time ago I mentioned that we use Toggl in the company I work for. Being the (sole) Emacs user in the company, I (of course) use Org mode clocking features, so I wrote a simple integration for Toggl. In the last few weeks, I played around with another time-tracking tool, Clockify. (Don’t get me started on the name, which is horrible to search for.) Of course, again I decided that I need to bridge the gap between Org mode and Clockify, and a simple global minor mode was born. It is rather bare-bones, but this is exactly what I needed. Feel free to expand it if your needs are greater.

17:23 UTC (new) (history) 2024-04-15 Improving recenter-top-bottom and reposition-window . . . . mbork – If one can be a fan of an Emacs command, then I am a huge fan of recenter-top-bottom (C-l) and reposition-window (C-M-l). I use them all the time to see the context of what I’m editing at the moment. However, they are not always that useful. They are rather crude – recenter-top-bottom only has three “settings”, as the name suggests, and reposition-window has only two (it either puts the first line of a function, or the first line of a comment preceding the function at the top). As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I sometimes work with rather long functions – and sometimes I am in the second of two shorter ones, but I want to see the first one, too. Also, I don’t only edit code – I edit prose, too, where paragraph play the role of functions, and Org files, where there are even other structural elements – headlines, tables and source blocks in addition to paragraphs, for example. I decided to write a variation on the theme of reposition-window, which – instead of putting the first line of the function I’m in at the top, it tries to put the first line of a “section” I’m in at the top.

06:30 UTC (new) (history) 2024-04-08 Even more Magit tips . . . . mbork – Almost five years ago I wrote a short post with some Magit tips. Well, why not write some more? Magit is slowly but constantly evolving, and recently I discovered something very useful I didn’t even know existed.
