Custom Highlighting
Last month someone pointed to this Emacs Notes post from last year and I thought some of you might find it handy. As the post points out, syntax highlighting can be a wonderful thing but sometimes you have a weird … Continue reading
Lightweight Literate Programming with Hydras
Grant Rettke has an interesting take on abo-abo’s Hydra package. His idea is that you can use hydras for a sort of lightweight literate programming. Most Irreal readers are already aware of hydras’ utility as a way of gathering related … Continue reading
The Light-Weightedness of Emacs
Most of you know that I really, really love Emacs but it wouldn’t occur to me to describe it as “light weight.” For most of its life, a major complaint about Emacs was that it was so heavy weight. Who … Continue reading
