After defining the scrot.el module, I don't have much use for this function. In
fairness, I never used this function too much; I wrote it early on when I first
switched from i3 to EXWM. As such, it's a bit sloppy. Happy whenever I get a
change to do some spring cleaning.
Write some Elisp to work with `scrot`, Linux's CLI utility for taking
screenshots. It's been too long this that was working as expected!
As a bonus, I learned that it's possible to copy images to Linux's clipboard and
not just their file paths. This makes for a really nice UX!
TL;DR: Preparing ivy-clipmenu for publishing.
Also:
- Removes lingering TODO items.
- Clarifies module and function documentation.
- Defines groups for custom variables.
- Supports history variable for ivy-read.
clipmenu/list-clips previously didn't sort or deduplicate entries in the same
way that the existing clipmenu list_clips function did. After running some
tests, clipmenu/list-clips matches the output except I'm unsure my duplicate
algorithm is identical.
It seems like something when I run `display/enable-4k` my resolution isn't at 4k
fully. However, when I call the same command on the command line it does scale
properly. This doesn't sound likely, and frankly I haven't had too much time to
try and reproduce this. Hence - the TODO!
Instead of keeping this in my ~/.profile, I'm going to define it in .envrc.
What I still don't know is how functions like `getenv` are supposed to interact
with direnv. I suppose maybe they aren't? Right now, when I call
`(getenv "DOTFILES")` from Emacs, it's `nil`, which I understand. Hopefully the
more I use direnv, the more reasonable expectations I'll have.
Since I moved this repository away from Dropbox, my elpa, melpa, quelpa packages
weren't automatically syncing. This crutch, once removed, cause my Emacs
initialization to fall-over.
This commit patches some of those missing dependencies.
This function was causing problems with my Emacs. For example, when I ran
`wpc/find-file`, which is bound <leader>f and a KBD that I call frequently, the
internals would startup fish with my configuration file. Then `nix_find
autojump` would fail and the entire command would error. To make things worse,
the error was a bit opaque.
TODO: Why do certain commands `counsel-projectile-find-file` startup fish and
load my configuration file? I'd prefer it used something like bash and didn't
attempt to load a configuration file since that would most likely slow things
down.
After a few weeks of having this idea in the back of my mind, I began supporting
an ivy interface to clipmenu. I tried clipmon.el for awhile, but it wasn't as
good as clipmenu in my experience. To get the best of both worlds, I'm
attempting to write an Emacs client for clipmenu! Stay tuned for more updates.
If I open source this, which I'd like to, I'll need to answer a few questions:
- How should I handle libraries like my prelude.el?
- How can I eject this from my mono-repo and dotfiles?
See the TODOs scattered throughout the module for an idea of the remaining
work. I'd estimate that there's about one to three more hours of work.
Create a finance module to help me cheaply calculate things like the future
value of a Spotify subscription or Dropbox subscription or Jiu Jitsu
membership.
I think when I was writing this, I needed a quick way to edit my dotfile's
README. I haven't used it since then, so in the interest of trimming fat, I'm
removing it.
I'm also making this my default theme for now. I'm growing a bit tired of
randomly assigning themes, since my `terminator` theme is not coupled to my
Emacs theme.
I'm not sure I'm sold on the "D{0,1}" keybindings. The thought was that 0 would
indicate off and 1 would indicate on. This seems sensible to me. I'm hesitant
because I don't think I have precedent for this idiom in any of my existing
keybindings.
I'm also not sure I like these being leader-prefixed keybindings.
Calling `source` on `(direnv hook fish)` was creating startup problems with
fish. These problems leaked into a few of my Emacs file-searching commands as
well, which was pretty irritating for awhile. I'm still unsure of the
differences between `eval` and `source`. I'm moving on for now.
Two things:
1. I'm unsure if what I previously committed ever worked because the arguments
to `string/format` were flipped.
2. I'm unsure why my screen devices are sometimes eDP-1 and eDP1.
Perhaps expect more commits as this becomes more clear to me.
I temporarily set it to /tmp/custom.el while I was in the midst of Nixifying my
Emacs setup. Since I'm not Nixified at the moment, I'm reverting this, so that
Emacs doesn't ask me the same questions about loading themes every day.
Configuring deadgrep to do a number of things:
1. Set `deadgrep--context` to see more context "after" in the output.
2. Define `deadgrep/dwim` to use a region if one is present; otherwise just
behave as `deadgrep`.
Warning: This commit relies on a patch I made to deadgrep: supporting the
`deadgrep--additional-flags`.
Instead of consuming `cycle/previous-focus`, define a function
`cycle/focus-previous!` that "focuses" the element at `previous-index` and
returns that element.
This function greatly simplified the code in window-manager.el and eliminated
the unnecessary `exwm/previous-workspace` variable that was managing the state.
Define a `cycle/previous-focus` function that returns the item that was
previously "focused" in the cycle. This is helpful for toggling back-and-forth
between buffers and EXWM workspaces for example without needing to define ad-hoc
variables to support it.
Also: Adds tests to cycle.el.
Also: Prefers `struct/set!` instead of `setf`. See the previous commit's message
for more information about that preference.
I originally tried using `struct/set` instead of `setf`, which I had forgotten
was the *immutable* version of `struct/set!`. When this didn't work, I reverted
to `setf`. After a good night's sleep and with a fresh set of eyes, I dug into
the issue and discovered that `struct/set!` was what I wanted the whole.
I am curious now about `struct/update` versus `struct/update!`; shouldn't the
former be immutable and the latter be mutable? I'll save that investigation for
a later date.
I've wanted an MRU/LRU sort of my "source code buffers" in Emacs. This commit
support three ways for working with a cache of source code buffers.
So first, what's a source code buffer? Well it isn't a buffer like *Messages*;
we can call these "Emacs-generated" buffers for convenience. Other problematic
buffers are buffers like `magit-status` and `dired-mode` and `erc` buffers.
I added some predicates for querying buffers for their major modes.
Supporting three KBDs for quickly accessing these functions:
1. <SPC><SPC> Toggle previous buffer
2. <SPC>b Use ivy to fuzzily search source code buffers
3. C-{f,b} Cycle {forwards,backwards} through the source code buffer cache.
I had forgotten that I defined <SPC>J. Maybe I should switch to using Hydras or
transient mode to improve the discoverability of my own setup... well in the
spirit of support things that I will likely forget, here's a new KBD for editing
config files in the `~/.config` directory.
