Emacs

Just a really mild adjustment to the org-roam dailies “sane default configuration.” Main difference is an inactive timestamp like I have for the tumblelog — I like having a chronology — and some file tags.

    (setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
      '(("j" "Jot" entry "* %U %?"
         :target (file+head "%<%Y-%m-%d>.org"
                            "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n#+filetags: %<:%Y:%B>\n")
         :unarrowed t)))
  

I may go past this with specific templates for tasks and bookmarks. But first I need to make sure this basic setup works for me.

Promised I’d go to bed before 11pm. Oops. Okay but just getting this link to Tide — TypeScript Interactive Development Environment for Emacs — before I go brush my teeth.

Also? I need to fiddle with my capture template logic for these notes, so it exports the subtree when I file from wherever.

Seeing if I set up ox-hugo auto-export correctly. Yep, though it didn’t apply until I reverted / reloaded this Org buffer.

SITE/.dir-locals.el looks like this:

    (("content-org/"
  . ((org-mode . ((eval . (org-hugo-auto-export-mode)))))))
  

Now ox-hugo exports the current subtree every time I save.

Okay cool. Anyways, back to work.

Oh, and I’m working up yet another Emacs config reset, to simplify the learning process while reading Mastering Emacs. Using better-defaults as the core.

My only intentional use of Emacs at the moment is assorted Org mode tools, but even at that level it’d sure help to get more comfortable with it.

Got myself a copy of Mastering Emacs to fill in a few of the gaps between C-h t and wherever I’ve been at for the last few years.

Note added with a capture template, though I still need to manually assemble a bit.

    (setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "Tumblelog" entry
         (file+olp+datetree bmw/tumble-log)
         "* %U %?\n:properties:\n:export_file_name: nnn.md\n:end:\n")
        ))
  

Less manual construction than a couple minutes ago!

I’ll have to learn some Elisp to make it work how it does in my head.

Chemacs gave me a way to try out Doom Emacs without messing up my current Emacs settings.

Neat.

Time to try out a whole bunch of others too.
