pdf-tools VS org-super-agenda

Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Possibly: Org-noter and/or PDF Tools.

You can install pdf-tools https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools

If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.

Pdf-view let you annotate the document. See https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools for more features. There are also quiet a few packages that work with pdf-tools.

Under the hood everything uses pdftools -- you can do highlights and other annotations but they live in the original pdf.

I've been configuring a custom agenda view for use with org-super-agenda similar to the very last example in the examples page. I also use org-modern.

Maybe org-super-agenda can help you with that.

But for me the most important aspect is org-agenda and in particular with packages like org-super-agenda, org-ql, and orgzly an excellent Android app. You configure the parameters and it shows you tasks/notes grouped/sorted by whatever attributes you want--priority, tags, deadline, keywords, etc. It takes a matter of 3 seconds to search for tasks with priority A to do within 2 weeks, for example (or you can of course pre-configure that search parameter bound to a hotkey--I have agenda views for different aspects of my life like school, work, business, shopping, etc.). The interface provides you the ability to quickly mark tasks and modify their properties in bulk like priorities and deadlines, etc.

Maybe https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda ?

I am a big fan of alpahapapa's org-super-agenda for my GTD dashboard (tho need to update it for org-ql). However, I have this weird thing that happens with my config that I've been unable to figure out:

Yes it's an old post , so might as well link to one of my fav org-agenda items: org-super-agenda https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda

Highly recommend looking into org-super-agenda to clean things up, I use it with custom views to only show what I want and in the order I need, helps organize the chaos.
