  • Creating regions within a buffer

    Simplest and narutal is to display three different windows; hide scrollbars and you will be left with very thin line (1 pixel wide) between windows. Alternatively you can do some tricks to work around the issue similar as to what org-mode does, or something similar as to what I do in dired-auto-readme. I don't suggest since you will be fighting Emacs, and there are many issues and problems with what org or my package do. There is a reason why org uses src_blocks, and while org is great and do awesome job at what it does, there are still issues that are not easily overcome when you scratch under the surface (for example font-lock is in certain cases spooking, you don't have major/minor mode maps in src blocks, eldoc is not working properly etc.
  • ANN: dired-auto-readme - completely reworked

  • ANN: Dired-git-log - display Git logs in Dired buffers (fork of dired-git-info)
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 1 Oct 2022
    I have used Clemeras dired-git-info for a while, but it does not work well with my dired-auto-readme and dired-subtree from dired-hacks due to use of overlays.
  • What are the kinds of things you've written Emacs Lisp for?
    9 projects | /r/emacs | 10 Sep 2022
    I wrote a little addon to dired to automatically display readme files in directories if there is one. I use it all the time, autoloads with my dired. I also wrote an init file generator and manager that I use every day, as long as some small packages to cleanup org mode noise, summarized in org-view-mode. Generally I use elisp instead of bash to cleanup directories, batch rename files in some special folders according to some specific naming rules etc. I also wrote an elisp script to re-build emacs, lots of other small stuff I haven't published on my github. You can check here some small extras I wrote or adapted from others for my personal use.
  • vanish.el: hide parts of a buffer
    8 projects | /r/emacs | 6 Aug 2022
    If you need some example of using text properties, here is some of my code, not sure if it is very good example, but it is very short and hopefully easy to understand. Here is a bit more elaborated one, and here is a bit of unorthodox usage of Emacs, also using text properties to achieve the effect. I don't recommend anything for "stable" system, beside org-view-mode, rest are just experiments and idea tests.
  • Display README files in Dired buffer similar as on GitHub/GitLab
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 10 Feb 2022
    I have just reworked dired-auto-readme, fixed some bugs and made it aware of org-view-mode, so now it is possible to see readme files written in org mode without markup in Dired buffers. For example, here is a screenshot of org-tree-slide package by T. Ishikawa, cloned from his GitHub repo.
  • Interactively hide/display leading stars for org-headings
    4 projects | /r/orgmode | 14 Jan 2022
    My goal is to create a clean and minimal viewer, org-view-mode, which will generally hide everything but text and put org file in read only mode. I need it for my dired-auto-readme. In general, when I read other people's stuff, I don't care about their markup, I am just interested about the content. I don't understand why is there no such mode from the beginning.
