I've wanted a library like this ever since I saw Douglas Crockford's JS talk
about scope highlighting as a more useful alternative to syntax highlighting.
The things that I dislike about this setup are:
1. `xref-find-definitions` takes me to `/nix/store`, which is a read-only
version of the source code, so I cannot edit it, which doesn't feel lispy.
2. I need to rebuild the derivation when I change something, which also doesn't
feel lispy.
There are ways to circumvent both of these drawbacks, but for now, I'm checking
this in only to later revert it.
After deciding to support the `C-s-` prefix for lispyville KBDs, I'm
re-introducing support for:
- `lispyville-drag-backward`
- `lispyville-drag-forward`
- `lispyville-end-of-defun`
- `lispyville-beginning-of-defun`
Previously my ERC setup just supported Google's internal IRC. Now I have
Freenode for things like #nixos, #emacs.
This complicated my KBDs for cycling through IRC channels since certain channels
only exist on certain servers. To remedy this, I introduced a temporary solution
that looks up the server given a particular channel. This isn't ideal, but it
works for now.
If you refer to the previous commit where I change shell-command usages to
start-process function calls, you'll see the rationale for why I prefer
start-process.
This commit introduces a more ergonomic API for start-process that fits most of
my current use-cases of it. This cleans up the code. I have introduced a bug in
the way that I'm tokenizing the COMMAND value. I've tracked that with a
TODO. For now it only affects the `xmodmap -e '<command-string>'` calls, which
isn't too disruptive.
Continuing the series of easy-win commits that increase the speed of commands
that I was previously using `shell-command` to run by using `start-process`
instead.
As promised in the previous commit, I'm refactoring usages of `shell-command` to
prefer the faster alternative `start-process`. So far, I'm pleased with the
results.
Without doing any benchmarking (break this naughty habit), I'm preferring to
call `start-process` instead of `shell-command` in my `wallpaper/set`
function. I noticed that the `shell-command` call was unnecessarily polluting my
`pstree` call when I debugging my randomly changing wallpaper bug.
I'm mostly likely going to change a few more `shell-command` calls to prefer
`start-process`.
While I first switched to EXWM warily and thinking it would only be temporary,
it seems like this switch is here to stay. It turns out that EXWM was exactly
the integration I've been looking for. How serendipitous it that I found it when
I did.
Thank you, @tazjin.
While this commit isn't much (i.e. notmuch), it represents one brave step
forward in the quest for supporting email in Emacs -- something I'm estimating
to be somewhere between a 1.5x and 2x workflow booster.
Google-related files should eventually be moved out of GitHub hosting and onto
Google infrastructure (e.g. Git on Borg).
When I do this, I should run:
```fish
> git grep --ignore-case google (git rev-list --all)
```
To assess the reference I've introduced into this repository.
Other tools that should come in handy when I do this are:
- git filter-branch
- BFG repo-cleaner
For now, my lack of understanding of purpose results in purpose getting in my
way. One day, I may reinvestigate this. For now, I'm attempting to learn Prolog
and Nix, which is occupying most of my tolerance for new technology.
It took me awhile to install evil-magit because I believed that evil-collection
supported it. My grasp of Emacs bindings was enough to tolerate the strangely
"inconsistent" KBD support of in magit. Eventually though my tolerance waned,
and I verified that evil-collection does *not* support magit, and suggests that
users seek evil-magit. I did that. I do not regret it.
Installing Wilfred's refine.el, which is a lovely package for interactively
editing data structures. Go LISP!
In a moment of strong opinions against variadic functions, I defined
maybe/somes? and redefined maybe/some? to be non-variadic. I'm not sure if I
feel as strongly about that change as I did when I made it. Either way, the
change remains and math.el is broken unless it consumes maybe/somes?, so... this
does that!
I provided the wrong usage example in my documentation. This goes to show how
critical generated documentation is to the goal of documentation reliability,
which itself bolsters the goal of documentation in general.
After some back-and-forth, I'm trialing fish shell instead of zsh as my default
shell. For now, I'm porting the aliases.zsh into config.fish -- defining them as
abbreviations instead of aliases; this preference may change. See the commentary
in config.fish for more information.
A spent a lot of time in zsh and built much configuration, so supporting fish
may take considerable time. Here's some work that remains:
TODO:
- Port functions.zsh
- Port variables.zsh
- Port zle.zsh
After attempting to package some of my Elisp libraries using Nix, I exposed
circular dependencies between modules that has existed for awhile.
I'm temporarily disabling this code since I do not have time to refactor
everything. When I get around to packaging everything, I'll need to resolve
these issues.
For now, I must carry on.
Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage.
Here's what has changed.
- Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk
- Dropping support for i3
- Supporting EXWM
- Many Elisp modules
- Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs
