browser-hist.el VS spacehammer

Next, I needed to open a related project, which I didn't have locally. So, finally, I had actually to open my browser. Note that everything I described to this point, all, was done solely in Emacs. But wait, we're not ready to switch just yet. Now, I remembered that I already had to open that repo last week, so I searched through my browser history and found the link to it. , and now I'm in the browser. I searched, and I found the document I needed, and I decided - that still didn't warrant cloning the entire project. "I'm just gonna copy the link and put it in my note...". The inserted link would've been something like https://github.com/booga/wooga/pulls/4110. But not in Emacs, no. Since I'm using Org-mode, I customized org-link-make-description-function. What it lets you do, is to write your custom function, and that's what I did. My function goes to GitHub and pulls the description of the PR #4110. And now my link looks like this: Fixes migration in the Orchestration Module booga/wooga#4110.

For certain concepts that I don't understand fully, I'm using chatgpt-shell. It is beyond fantastic and almost impossible to describe in a single post. This is, for example, just one of my use cases: When I'm writing a comment or a message to my colleague (and of course, yes, I edit just about any text in Emacs), I can select a paragraph and ask chatgpt-shell to improve it. It does, but it also shows me the diff of the changes, that is how I set it up.

I’ve been using hammerspoon for several years and it has really become integral to my workflow.

You may want to check out the extension package spacehammer[0]. It includes a bunch of workflows and shortcuts that I’ve found extremely useful.

Interestingly (for me at least), it’s authored in Fennel [1], a lisp that compiles to lua. I actually found spacehammer originally when I was working on converting my personal hammerspoon config to Fennel.

Throw in Spacehammer, and you can add a note from anywhere in the operating system.

I'm a big fan of hammerspoon, but not so much Lua. I also use emacs with Doom, where a lot of bindings are behind a 'leader key'. I found an awesome framework called 'spacehammer'[1] that fits very well into the way I like to work. It similarly hides binding behind a leader, and it's written in Fennel, a lisp that compiles to Lua. I feel like I get to expand the customizability of Emacs out to my whole system and I love it. Hammerspoon is pretty bare on its own so I suggest you check out spacehammer even if it's just a show case of the potential of hammerspoon.
