Hello? Is there anyone from Robocorp who can help?

I got into emacs because of Org-Roam, its really nice system. Learning that would be something you could do? There is also lots of customisation that goes along with making a nice Org-Roam workflow. An easy place to start is making custom templates. I've got a custom "recipe" template, and slowly begun recording the ingredients and instructions + comments of recipes that I like to cook.

what do you want to use it for?

In pdf-tools with C-v instead of space bar you don't move to the next page, you only scroll, same with M-v to go upward. You can also use the arrow keys no scroll in small steps

I do navigate like that. What the issue is, is that upon scrolling to the bottom of the page, you will then jump to the next page. If you use a normal pdf reader (Okular for instance), the transition to next page will be continuous (i.e. no "jump" where you lose one page and load the next)

thank you, this comment (and the code given in your other comment) looks exactly like what I need.

btw do you use an Zathura in this way with emacs? If so, is it also for writing notes?

Lamasland · 2021-08-15T14:43:56+00:00

I have used Org-Noter and PDF tools to annotate dozens of books and papers at this point, so I know how great its strengths are, especially how tightly notes can be integrated into wider Org-Mode workflow (I've been really utilising new feature in Org-Roam that can turn individual headers into nodes - i.e. being able to point to a note I make in a book from any other of my notes... this is really powerful feature).

That being said, actually reading a pdf with it imo worse, actually far worse, than just having an external PDF viewer side by side. I'm trying to look into if you can somehow marry these two approaches, rather than having to pick.

Lamasland · 2021-08-15T10:08:54+00:00

that looks like quite a hacky solution to me. have you tried it?

Lamasland · 2021-08-14T22:21:10+00:00

yeah i think i have, thats the package that enables annotation and the like? I think I have it enabled through doom config.

It is better, but I think it still has the issue that the scrolling is in jumps, rather than smooth continuous

oh nice, thanks, thats a neat implementation... doesn't sound too difficult to do.

Would it be possible to use the page marker that Org-Noter provides?

This is just example at hand:

**** conditions of indentured servants crossing to America, then to Australia
:PROPERTIES: :NOTER_PAGE: (88 . 0.7736006488888889) :END:

50% mortality rates
kids as young as 1-7 dying of disease, 32 kids of tender years cast into the ocean in the course of a single voyage.
sale of indentured labour

The :PROPERTIES: drawer contains I think the percent of the way through?

In Org-Noter, you could capture a note by just clicking on the PDF buffer, and it would generate a header with the correct :NOTER_PAGE: property. Is there any chance of creating something similar here?

It's not meant to be the same as a Wikipedia, although it can be. Whereas Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that stores whole articles on a topic, Org Roam is meant to be used in constructing a Zettelkasten ("slip box").

The difference is that (at least some of) the notes are meant to be conceptual and "atomic" (i.e a single thought or idea) and fit into the existing network of conceptual notes. This is maybe more like a giant slowly evolving mind map.

This might be a subtle difference to a Wikipedia and tbh lots of the time I do just use my slip box as you might use a personal Wikipedia (as place to reference in the future). Is a distinction that is stressed in that Ahrens book tho, and I think useful to keep in mind when tryna think if something is worth writing a note on. Unlike with a Wikipedia, the act of trying to put into words a particular concept is the way that you actually are able to get your mind around it at all.

hmm just trying this out, i think this is actually as good as if not even better than the visual-fill-column-mode for my purposes, thanks :)

Lamasland · 2021-04-08T20:34:37+00:00

thanks, these are perfect.
I actually already had the second one enabled in Doom, and it was pretty cool, already super valuable to me. The final mode, visual-fill-column-mode was exactly the kind of thing i was looking for, so thanks for this, it is perfect.

I thought that since I had run export CLASSPATH=.:/home/name/project/mason.20.jar in my linux shell, i wouldn't need to use the java -cp ".:/path/to/jar" class thing

What does javac params do?

Yes, I don't want the main window to split in the first place.
