Emacs For Common Lisp
Susam has a very nice Githup repository that contains an Emacs configuration for working with Common Lisp. The nice thing is that the README contains a complete explanation of what the configuration is doing and has a line-by-line exegesis of … Continue reading
Media Progress
Dmitriy Pshonko has an interesting project for those of us who like to (a) stay in Emacs and (b) use the mpv media player. The idea is that you can list your media files with dired and it will tell … Continue reading
Duplicating Dired Files
I ran across a post by James Dyer, Dired Duplicate Here Revisited, that was interesting and I thought was worth writing about but I wasn’t sure there was enough there for a post. Then I saw this post by Álvaro … Continue reading
Emacs Defaults
Charles Choi has another thought provoking post: this time it’s about Emacs defaults. He begins by noting that Emacs exemplifies the idea that you should separate policy and mechanism by providing a mechanism but leaving the actual policy to the … Continue reading

Marks, Bookmarks, and Registers
Protesilaos Stavrou (Prot) has another great video out. This one is about marks, bookmarks, and registers. You can probably guess from the title that the video is mainly about ways of moving around in a file or files efficiently. He … Continue reading
Tramp Video
Over at Skybert Hacks, Torstein Johansen has a nice video on using Emacs tramp. Although it does sometimes get bad press, Tramp is a gem and a definitely underappreciated feature of Emacs. It also can seem hard to learn—especially when … Continue reading
Vanilla Emacs Configuration
Emacs Elements has another useful video on a minimal configuration for vanilla Emacs. This is mainly for the new user, of course, but I was struck by how closely it matched my basic configuration. My current init.el is about 2,500 … Continue reading
