Emacs

You mean Vim?

No matter how much I try EMACS is just too slow for me. Its not snappy as vim. and often times its lagging and hanging and the package management is too slow. Its bluky and full of bloat. Dont get me wrong the base emacs is great. But as soon as I add packages and try to modify it, it keeps getting bulkier and difficult to manage. Whereas vim is snappy. And I can full use tmux and terminal and my hands and safe from injuries. And its comfy.

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. Disable showing Disable logging

Delete specific lines matching a regexp from a buffer.

M-x flush-lines{.verbatim}

For example say you have a find-grep buffer and you want to remove

certain lines. Copy the contents to anothe buffer with,

M-x copy-to-buffer{.verbatim} and use flush-lines to delete them.

Using heading ids for storing and creating links instead of paths

So the problem with org mode internal linking is that once you create a

heading in a file and link it to other files you cannot move the file or

rename the heading. This is a pain in the ass, because I always rename

things all the time. The only way to overcome this problem is to use

enable use of id's and use that to store and create links.

First set the following variables.


;; Create uuid whenever i store a link

(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id 'create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id)

  

;; Store it a relative links

(setq org-id-locations-file-relative t)

  

;; To search for all the stored id's in the follwing files, for some reason this requires to add extra files to agenda. This should be a seperate option.

(setq org-agenda-text-search-extra-files

Â  Â  Â  (directory-files-recursively "~/my_repos" ".*\.org$\\|.*\.org_archive$"))

Then call this function to update the id's and locations.


(org-id-update-id-locations)

Store all these commands in the init.el file.

Now, store link with C-c l{.verbatim} and create link at a random file

with C-c C-l{.verbatim} and now emacs can follow that link with

C-c o{.verbatim} open link command. This was confusing to figure out

but once i did it seems simple.

Note that all these setting needs to be added before the org publish

functions as well.

Insert completion without performing action in ivy

For a long time i was not able to perform this. Basically what i want to

do was to insert the selection to mini-buffer without actually

performing the selection done action and make some edits.

This keybind does it.

Emacs can be installed using flatpak for users without root access with

--user{.verbatim} option.


wget -nc https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gnu.emacs.flatpakref

flatpak install --user org.gnu.emacs.flatpakref

Emacs can be invoked with this command.


flatpak run org.gnu.emacs

To invoke gui mode emacs.


flatpak run org.gnu.emacs --display $DISPLAY

All emacs related binaries are stored under this path.

To execute other related binaries run the command like this, the

argument for that command comes at the end.


flatpak run Â --command=etags org.gnu.emacs --help

To include path variable, to the sand-boxed application


flatpak run --env=PATH=$PATH org.gnu.emacs --display $DISPLAY

But this will mostly cause conflicts. So set proper paths when required.
