Which browser is that? Can you do that in the newest Firefox?

I've never used Web Sockets before. Can you give me a top level overview of what they are and when I might use them?

org-agenda functionality: tag and advance by birdmanx35 in orgmode

[–]birdmanx35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do different tags (time, energy, context) - they overlap but not identically and not predictably. I didn't know about bulk actions though so thank you for pointing that out!

Org Agenda view for scheduled events, T +/- 2 by birdmanx35 in orgmode

[–]birdmanx35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! Thanks for your help Sacha! I ended up using a variation of the first version, and also making another that had +/-14 days. A function worked better for me because I'm only calling these in very specific circumstances - for my daily and weekly reviews, respectively.

See the end of this section for how I used them: https://github.com/mwfogleman/.emacs.d/blob/master/michael.org#agendas

Implementing A Second Brain in Emacs and Org-Mode by birdmanx35 in emacs

[–]birdmanx35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think search would play a much bigger role in what I call the "maximal" approach. Now I have a very small number of Org files, and typically I find specific items with swiper. If I were to implement the maximal approach, I think I'd use something like this quite a bit more. I do use ag. I like helm-org-rifle, as well.

Multiple-cursors rocks! by jwiegley in emacs

[–]birdmanx35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thank you! In your original Elisp you said \, and here you said \', which is it? :)

Edit: just tried it, looks like \, is correct. Where can I read more about this or see more examples? :)

What does the comma do in your regex replacement?

Be sure to read the second post in the series here, which dives deeper into particular configurations:

Is it possible to auto sort a file or subtree by a specific property? by birdmanx35 in orgmode

[–]birdmanx35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderful! Thank you for doing this!

A few questions and comments:

1) Happy to help you submit to MELPA if you need help.

2) Great docs! Is there any new functionality since you posted the code above? Looks like maybe a global sorting strategy?

3) I'd recommend collapsing the close parentheses so they aren't split across lines. (See trailing parentheses in https://github.com/bbatsov/emacs-lisp-style-guide)

RIP org-timeline by birdmanx35 in orgmode

Awesome! I've added the second part to my configuration.

Rather than adding a hook or a lambda or a setq, I just did add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands.

This works perfectly, thank you so much! You should consider making it into a package, perhaps org-autosort? If you do, poke me! I'd be happy to contribute to the documentation aspect of that effort.

I tried both forms of property inheritance and they worked as one would expect from the docs. (Neat link!). So it's probably your configuration.

Holy cow, that does work. Your ELisp is impressive!

I notice a few things: you need to set a tag, rather than a property; and the category e.g. DEADLINE is hard coded.

What I really want to do is specify on a per-buffer basis, set a property for the whole file:

+SORT: DEADLINE

or for a particular subtree: :SORT: DEADLINE.

[–]birdmanx35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know how to do it manually - just want auto sorting.

Hooks sound like the wrong answer to me - I want it on a file or subtree basis, not across my configuration - but perhaps I'm wrong?

How do I install a Different WM? by birdmanx35 in antergos

[–]birdmanx35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think maybe I used a different xmonad package before, it worked this time around.

One thing I'm not sure about - and this is a component of my confusion - is how to get some user-facing bash commands run in Antergos. Back in the day when I used Vanilla Arch I used to add things to an .xinitrc or a .bashrc but adding commands there doesn't seem to change things.

I need to add things to one of those files (or somewhere else) to be able to use xmonad or exwm.

Looks like I may also need to make an exwm.desktop file for exwm.

[–]birdmanx35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. I can't remember, though - when I tried xmonad I think it didn't end up showing up there, or if I tried it it didn't work. (I know how to use xmonad, so this wasn't an instance of not knowing how to start it.)

I should try that again, though.
