As soon as I wrote and published a <a href=\"https:\/\/irreal.org\/blog\/?p=8883\">post<\/a> about it, I found two more posts on hacking Elfeed to make it better fit the tweaker\u2019s workflow. The first, by \u00c1lvaro Ram\u00edrez, was directly inspired by Zamansky\u2019s post and shows a way of <a href=\"http:\/\/xenodium.com\/open-emacs-elfeed-links-in-background\/index.html\">opening an Elfeed entry in a browser without losing focus<\/a>. That\u2019s convenient if you like to skim through the entries and open the ones you find interesting in a browser tab for later reading.<\/p>\n<p>As Zamansky demonstrates in his video, Elfeed <i>does<\/i> allow you to open multiple entries but you lose focus to the browser. Ram\u00edrez\u2019s method keeps you in Elfeed until you\u2019re ready to change to the browser and read all the interesting articles.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/karthinks.com\/blog\/lazy-elfeed\/\">second post<\/a>, by Karthins, considers several hacks to adjust Elfeed to his liking. These include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"org-ul\">\n<li>Split pane for index and current entry<\/li>\n<li>Navigating the Elfeed database with the space bar<\/li>\n<li>Easier tagging<\/li>\n<li>Using EWW on a per entry basis to display posts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you use Elfeed\u2014and if you\u2019re an Emacs user, you should be\u2014be sure to take a look at these two posts. You may or may not like the changes they implement but even if you don\u2019t, they show nice examples of how easy it is to adjust Elfeed to your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Mike Zamansky published a video on some tweaks he made to Elfeed.
