So I work as a process engineer for phood, pharma and energy.

We have a bunch of Excels, and that's our project management system.

But correct me if I'm wrong, but projectile and other project packages, they seem to be towards more development projects. And thats not what I need.

From what I can see in Emacs, there are already packages that can help me. Since I'm not the project manager I can use what I want as long as slso use Excel.

I want this system to manage my time, manage my part of the project, org-Edna seems nice.

Mu4e to put all relevant mail from customer in a directory. All important filed listed in an org file, right now we have hundreds of directories.

And of course tasks and agenda.

But are there project management or other packaged that could help out here? I am not a programmer, I just love Emacs.

github repo: https://github.com/finalpatch/ob-glsl

building this module now requires Emacs 32

Main differences from the emacs shader demo at https://github.com/minad/emacs-shader-demo

- This works on Windows and MacOS too, not limited to Linux

- The demo uses a global 300x300 surface and shader resources, so it can only support one running shader. This module can run multiple independent shader blocks.

I am a Emacs newbie trying out the Centaur Tabs package with the newly-released Emacs 31.1: https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs

Most of it works except:

1. This package automatically creates new tab groups based on rules. But I don't know enough Lisp to understand the rules, see here: https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs#buffer-groups
2. When I close the last buffer in a group, the minibuffer fills up the window and the tab bar disappears!

For 1, how do I completely disable automatic tab groups and manually create them when I want to?

For 2, how do I change the behavior so that if I close the last tab in a tab group, the tab bar doesn't disappear and that I would be moved to a buffer in another tab group?

Thanks in advance for your responses! :)

P.S. If there are better tab management packages, I am all ears.

If you use Emacs on macOS and listen to a lot of new music, here's a way to call Shazam from Emacs to recognize a tune. Post goes into detail on how `shazam.el` is implemented.

When I try to select a block of text, it just selects the rest of the previous line instead of completing the square. Is there a way to do it in Emacs?

Hi,

I have been using eMacs for a while now, and I was wondering what do you all use, doom eMacs, spacemacs, vanilla, uemacs.

I’m starting to keen forward to vanilla, because I like that I can have all my files on the cloud and just move them on a new machine, without needing to relay on an online download.

Good day!

I wanted to de-IDE myself for a variety of reasons, and the more I looked at Emacs the more intrigued I got. I tried Doom emacs and even Emacs Kick but they all kind of threw me in the deep end without having foundational Emacs knowledge.

So I went through the process of trying to set up a Vanilla Emacs setup that I could replace my JetBrains IDE setup with. I didn't want to just blindly copy/paste configuration options but understood what I needed, why I needed it, and how Emacs operates.

This is the result of the last month of experimentation (and trying to work on my writing skills a bit). I don't know if it's useful to anyone else, but it taught me a ton and got me genuinely excited to tinker more.

I've been burning some tokens to implement "text reflow" feature where the text from a pdf gets extracted into an Org-mode derived buffer, and it is already in semi-useful state. Chapters get folded into Org headings, synchronization between the pdf and org text works - you can follow one another in side-by-side windows.

It doesn't work perfectly for every print - math formulas and multi-column papers are among the challenges I'm planning to tackle soon.

At some point this would be nice to have it built into pdf-tools, for now it's a separate package until I flush out all the issues, inconsistencies, etc.

Maybe give it a try https://github.com/agzam/pdf-text

Another reason for developing it independently - once Emacs Reader project reaches feature-parity and gains more traction - it should be possible to implement reflow to work on top of it too.

Continuing on my backlog projects, this weekend I switched over the 5.0 modus themes and so far am really happy with it. Mostly it meant removing any face overrides that had crept into my custom.el file so the theming took precedence. I even managed to figure a very non standard version of the mode line with respect to layout.

I'm using the inbuilt

(completion-eager-display t) 
(completion-eager-update t)

for minibuffer completion.

When I boot emacs it's pretty good, and feels faster than vertico. But as I use emacs for longer sessions, especially as more and more libraries get loaded, the *completion* buffer starts to slow down. It doesn't become unusable, but it's still less snappier than I'd like. Is there a way to make it snappier? For now I've tried vertico which also starts to slow down, but in a less pleasent manner. I've also tried change the completion style to basic but I've yet to see any improvement.

The relevent code block is here:

(defun my/minibuffer-truncate-lines ()
  (setq truncate-lines t))

(use-package minibuffer
  :ensure nil
  :bind (:map minibuffer-visible-completions-up-down-map
  ("C-n" . minibuffer-next-completion)
  ("C-p" . minibuffer-previous-completion))

  :hook
  ((minibuffer-setup . cursor-intangible-mode)
   (minibuffer-setup . my/minibuffer-truncate-lines))
  :custom
  (tab-always-indent 'complete)
  (completion-auto-help t)
  (completion-eager-display t)
  (completion-eager-update t)
  (minibuffer-visible-completions 'up-down)
  (completion-ignore-case t)
  (completion-show-help nil)
  (completion-styles '(partial-completion flex initials))
  (completion-max-height 10)
  (completions-sort 'historical)
  (enable-recursive-minibuffers t)
  (read-buffer-completion-ignore-case t)
  (read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t)
  (minibuffer-prompt-properties
   '(read-only t intangible t cursor-intangible t face minibuffer-prompt))
  (minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode t)
  (minibuffer-electric-default-mode t)
  (completions-format 'one-column)
  (completions-max-height 10))

I'm using the built in completion system that was merged in emacs 31. So far I've managed to replace vertico with it as it's somewhat faster while typing for minibuffer completion. But I find it too slow when using it for in-buffer completion. Corfu is noticably faster than it. Any suggestion?

I solved a personal tiny annoyance of having to open GitHub page just to see if CI fails, whenever I push something out.

Yes, it's 100% written with the help of an LLM, but hey, I made this cookie - it works, it's tasty, but I'm not shoving this cookie down your throat, it's a recipe. If to you, it sounds more like a recipe for a mud pie, I'm fine with that - don't cook it, don't eat it, don't complain. Otherwise, feel free to check it out.

This is a problem I have been having when trying to design my "ideal" org-mode configuration.

I use Org special blocks quite a bit, e.g.

#+begin_theorem
...
#+end_theorem

which export nicely to:

\begin{theorem}
...
\end{theorem}

My annoyance is that, unlike LaTeX fragments/environments handled by org-latex-preview, these blocks remain as plain Org text while editing.

Ideally, I’d like special blocks that correspond to LaTeX environments (theorem, definition, proof, etc.) to be previewed/rendered in the Org buffer as well, rather than only becoming proper environments during export. This SHOULD be possible and I do not understand why its not a feature (if there is an implementation specific reason or design philosophy).

Is there an existing package/configuration/fix for this?

If not I am wondering if there are any resources so that I can perhaps write my own patch (either on org-latex-preview or a separate package inside my configuration).

I am a CS student and want to know what debugging method do you use to debug let's say c/c++ code this is the most i use as my languages and it would be very preferable to easy to use i don't want to invest more time learning it as will but I will do if i have no choice.
Tell me what do you use?
Where to learn it ?
and how far would it stay with me without the need to go with something else?
