Vertico provides a performant and minimalistic vertical completion UI based on the default completion system. The focus of Vertico is to provide a UI which behaves correctly under all circumstances. By reusing the built-in facilities system, Vertico achieves full compatibility with built-in Emacs completion commands and completion tables. Vertico only provides the completion UI but aims to be highly flexible, extendable and modular. Additional enhancements are available as extensions or complementary packages. The code base is small and maintainable. The main vertico.el package is only about 600 lines of code without white space and comments1. ...

This is a series of post about external Emacs packages that I use. Avy avy is a GNU Emacs package for jumping to visible text using a char-based decision tree. installing with use-package 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (use-package avy :ensure ;; when `use-package-always-ensure' is nil :bind (("C-:" . avy-goto-char) ("C-'" . avy-goto-char2) ("M-g f" . avy-goto-line) ("M-g w" . avy-goto-word-1) ("M-g e" . avy-goto-word-0))) Notes: for evil user, theres a command evil-avy-goto*. for evil user 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (use-package avy :after evil :ensure ;; when `use-package-always-ensure' is nil :bind (([remap goto-char] . evil-avy-goto-char) ([remap goto-line] . evil-avy-goto-line) ("M-g l" . evil-avy-goto-line)))

What is use-package anyway? Simply put, it’s a macro for easier package management within Emacs. I’ve used this for a while, and for me this is much more manageable than the default package declaration. How to use it? First we’ll need to activate it, from your Emacs init.el file: 1 (require 'use-package) And since we’ll mostly use this for external package, also add: 1 (setq use-package-always-ensure t) After that, use-package is ready to use. For example, installing which-key is simply by: ...

About This site is build with Hugo which is a static site generator using markdown. The usual way of doing github action with hugo is using the actions-hugo workflow. Since I’m using org-mode for literally everything, it’s only natural that I also use it for blogging. Figure 1: Deployment to github pages Setup Create a script for exporting org-files to markdown We need to be able to export the org-mode files into markdown format. Depending on how the files are organized, we need to have a function that could export them. Here I’m using per file layout1. ...

Figure 1: Notmuch Emacs Davmail In my work routines, Microsoft is somewhat unavoidable, and trying to have an email client that can sync Exchange in linux has always been a pain to me. This is my documentation on how to use notmuch, davmail, and msmtp to sync my work emails. Configuration davmail.server=true davmail.mode=Auto davmail.url=https://mail.domain/EWS/Exchange.asmx davmail.defaultDomain=DOMAIN davmail.ssl.nosecurecaldav=false davmail.ssl.nosecureimap=false davmail.ssl.nosecureldap=false davmail.ssl.nosecurepop=false davmail.ssl.nosecuresmtp=false davmail.caldavPort=1081 davmail.imapPort=1144 davmail.ldapPort=1390 davmail.popPort=1111 davmail.smtpPort=1026 davmail.imapAutoExpunge=true davmail.allowRemote=false davmail.logFilePath=/tmp/davmail-domain.log davmail.logFileSize=1MB davmail.disableGuiNotifications=true davmail.disableTrayActivitySwitch=true davmail.showStartupBanner=false davmail.enableKerberos=false Notes davmail.mode set to auto. uses port > 1024 to avoid using root privileges. Also set the davmail.logFilePath to a path that is accessible. davmail.server set to true since I don’t need the GUI. All the ssl options is not necessary since it will only be accessed locally. msmtp It’s a simple smtp client with fairly complete sendmail compatibility. This is not a full tutorial on how to setup msmtp, there’s already much information for that online1. ...
