Emacs

Spent way too long debugging why S-SPC suddenly stopped working - I figured it was my config or some updated package. It was not - I had also switched from emacs to emacs-wayland on my system (I use Arch btw), turns out pgtk does not support S-SPC as it is used by input methods. I don’t use it (as far as I am aware) - so disabling it made it work again:

I sometimes want to open a file in Emacs with something other than the system default - maybe okular instead of zathura for a PDF¹, or a different image viewer for screenshots. This is a perfect case for embark².

embark is this nifty package for emacs that is a bit like a contextual right click system. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. It took me a while to really integrate it into my workflow - honestly because of the overwhelming number of actions you are presented with. So since embark has around a billion actions included, I was a bit surprised to find I could only open files in the default application (embark-open-externally).

Hello world!

I’ve been using org-mode for years and I write personal journals in it from time to time. I also dabble way too much in optimizing how I use it to actually be productive in it, but I digress..

I’ve read about blogging from org-mode and publishing that directly to static sites. I was intrigued, and I somewhat miss blogging, which I haven’t done in probably 10-15 years by now. So here goes, this will be me just trying out syntax and styles.
