My PhD Research Workflow—Emacs Inside

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • dotfiles

  • You can have inverted colours; there is a zathurarc in which one can specify a colour profile and switch between that and the default with C-r. I have set up mine to be a little less blindingly white, but you can also just put a dark theme there.

  • org-auctex

    Better latex previews for org-mode

  • Just a note that latex preview support for non-file-associated buffers (including elfeed/shr buffers) is still planned for org-auctex. (Time for Emacs has been really scant this year!)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ink

    LaTeX + Inkscape (by karthink)

  • For an easy way to create and insert inkscape drawings in tex/org files I use ink.el, forked from here.

    LaTeX + Inkscape (by foxfriday)

  • For an easy way to create and insert inkscape drawings in tex/org files I use ink.el, forked from here.

  • When writing in org-mode (most of my research writing) I use org-xournalpp to add rough sketches and figures.

  • embrace.el

    Add/Change/Delete pairs based on `expand-region', similar to `evil-surround'.

  • For changing, deleting or adding Latex environments or other delimiters around text I use embrace instead of something like your change-env. With some customization to better support Latex it works pretty much like change-env, only it can't handle labels, and it's also useful generally for any kind of delimiter (punctuation, html tags etc) across Emacs.

  • org-auctex): An (experimental) package to reuse AucTeX's preview-latex library for latex previews in org-mode. Org's preview system is terrible for previewing math heavy documents (which your org files appear to be) since it fires off a latex process per fragment and is synchronous. preview-latex uses a single process, is faster and works (mostly) asynchronously, so I prefer it for org files.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
