Keep the standards as they are and customize the variables when necessary.
Changing the defaults almost always causes trouble when running on other
machines. For example, `python3` is the name of the Linux executable, but not
the Windows one.
Inspired by [zamansky](https://cestlaz.github.io/post/using-emacs-74-eglot/).
There were some problems with the builtin version of `project`, I had to delete
the `elpa-ess` Debian package, because it was pulling in the builtin version of
`project` before `package.el` could set up the proper paths. I need to
investigate how to avoid this behavior in general.
The macro `with-current-emms-playlist' does not set the current playlist to the
current buffer, but instead switches to it. Yes, that's reasonable, but not
what I thought it does. Since I need the reverse (make the current buffer to
temporarily be the current playlist), we simply bind `emms-playlist-buffer' to
the value returned by `current-buffer'.
While we are at it, also make info loading synchronous by binding
`emms-info-asynchronously' to nil.
For this, the playlist export of EMMS is used to enable sorting by track
metadata. The current implementation is a first try and may contain some bugs
when track metadata is not readily available.
The generic definition for the "todo" state-change must have overwritten the
other, more specific definitions for the other TODO-type states. Fixed this by
removing the generic definition.
Also added some more tag triggers as well.
This only unnecessarily clutters the use customizations. If proxies are
important, configure them explicitly, which is easy; if they are not important,
they don't have to be saved.
Using sshx as default on non-Windows systems seems to be a more robust choice
than using ssh, because the latter might be prone to errors caused by my
user-specific shell configuration. And while we are at it, using plink on
Windows is more reasonable than using ssh, at least in my working environment.
Indeed, in my workflow, the effort estimate of an item is independent of the
effort estimates of all its subitems. It thus does not makes to sum them up,
and indeed the "{:}" in the column view format causes the (independent) effort
estimate to be overwritten by the sum of the efforts of its subitems every time
column view is turned on.
From our previous attempts to get S/MIME working when using Outlook, the
function `mm-copy-to-buffer` had been adviced to change all LF to CRLF, to allow
`mm-copy-to-buffer` to find the beginning of the body. However, when the body
itself is binary and accidentally contains an CRLF, that content is modified as
well. This might break the content, as it happend with the signature of
elpa.gnu.org, which indeed contained an CRLF.
We are now a bit more non-invasive and replace the original version of
`mm-copy-to-buffer` with one that explicitly also searches for ^\r\n in addition
to just ^\n. Let's see how good that will work. Signature checking for
elpa.gnu.org is functioning again, and S/MIME still seems to be working.
This allows easier updates of this list, without having resort to executing the
corresponding code manually. In the future, we could even update that list
automatically by attaching the new function to some of projectile's hooks or
something.
The main motivation is me often mistyping S-SPC for SPC, loosing my current
candidates and frustrating myself. This is even more frustrating when inserting
text into non-selection inputs (org-capture), which is why we had disabled ivy
completion for org-capture previously. Since we are no using
ivy--regex-ignore-order for candidate regex building anyway, input restriction
is not necessary anymore, and so we remove the shortcut altogether.
This reverts commit 2622b048b6.
The main annoyance has been completion in org source blocks, and this has been
disabled now. Additionally, `company-complete` only seems to work when
company-mode is enabled. So let's enable it again and see how far we get.
When company is active, this leads to completions offered as a first step in
shell blocks, for example, which is both unnecessary and triggers a bug in
ivy (the cursor is invisible afterwards). Furthermore, this completion is
almost always unnecessary, as the snippets a usually either quite simple or
copied from elsewhere. If completion is still required, editing the code block
within the native major mode (C-c ') should be sufficient.
Most of the time, I just want to see the text and edit it, and thus I open HTML
files in Emacs anyway (usually rendering them via `shr-render-buffer`).
It's confusing me that the output of pandoc is a document fragment by default,
so let's instruct Emacs to generated complete, standalone documents instead.
Apparantly, when Gnus starts up for the first time, this function seems to be
undefined, because we are calling gnus-registry-initialize quite late in the
init process. Let's try to fix this by having this autoload.
