TODOs

General

• [ ] setting up haskell layer
• [ ] review setting up GPG key
  • add pinentry-start
• [X] fix rewrite neo-vc-integration (issue)
• [ ] add hook for tuareg-update && restart-lsp-server
• [ ] saving several session layouts to quickly resume workspaces after reboot. (maybe it should relay on projectile)
• [ ] backup: add saving .emaacs.d/.cache/bookmarks
• [ ] backup: add saving private lines into encrypted patch
• [ ] backup: add saving/copying private icons

Cheat sheet

Basic

• M-x command call command by its name
• C-x k kill buffer
• M-m w / split window vertically
• M-m w 0 close window
• M-m w u undo changing windows (splint, closing buffer, opening another buffer). Sometimes it useful for magit.
• M-m w left/right move window focus left/right

M-x helm-color

• C-c n insert color name
• C-c r insert RGB hex

Org-mode

Working with heading

• C-c C-t change state
• C-u C-c C-t change state with a note

Sparse trees

• C-c \ or C-c / tag to show heading with specific tag
• org-show-context-detail allows customize how many will be shown for each heading

Super-links

• C-c s l store link
• C-c s i insert link
• C-c s s search heading for link

Syncing with google calendar

• org-gcal-request-new-token
• org-gcal-fetch

Distraction free mode (link)

• org-narrow-to-*
• C-x n s narrow to subtree

Creating timestamp (link)

• C-c . insert timestamp
• C-c C-c normalize timestamp
• S-UP/DOWN shift a part of the timestamp under cursor

Focus on subtree

• org-narrow-to-substree (M-RET s n) focus on current heading
• widen (M-m n w) return back to the file

Setup hints

Emacs server

• systemctl --user enable emacs
• systemctl --user start emacs
• add to .zshrc alias es="emacsclient --tty"
• (optional) add emacsclient --create-frame %f to /usr/share/application/emacs.desktop I don’t do that because some packages cannot work with multiple clients (neotree, proof-general). Thus in my setup I use emacs server only in the console and open different projects in separated desktop windows. Also open server accumulate too many open buffers that disturb navigation by the M-m b b stroke.
• setup initial-choice-buffer (doesn’t work in master)

Neotree

• install fonts M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts
• added hook in user-conifg for sustaining state of variables neo-vs-integration (maybe it’ll redundant in future)

Private Layers

Lean

• Follow install instruction from README

FStar

• Follow install instruction from README

Org-roam

BAD:

• several profiles is not working properly
• showing backlinks work not so smooth and storing in db (this can be solved by calling org-super-links-convert-to-super after inserting link)

GOOD:

• fast finding nodes
• nice ui graph

Notes

Keybinding convention

In emacs one command can be summoned in a lot of ways. For example, org-capture:

• M-m C c is global binding that came from mnemonic “*C*apture -> org-*c*capture”
• M-m a o c is global binding that came from “Applications -> org-mode -> org-capture”
• M-RET c is in-active-org-file binding for faster access
• M-m m c is in-active-major-mode binding

So now for me it’s a bit clear and will try to keep it in mind for new commands

My Clock workflow

• org-mru-clock package
• CLOCKED view in agenda (l binding)
