Figure 1: Default Emacs The default Emacs is kinda boring and unintuitive, if you’re looking for a simple text editor, I really suggest other editors like nano, vim, or other graphical editors like gedit. The main advantage of using Emacs is that in can be more than just a text editor. Figure 2: Tetris inside Emacs I don’t think anybody ever want to play tetris inside Emacs, but it’s there!...
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....

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....
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.
