I personally havent really used emacs for organizing, but I really like it for bash coding and writing software documenation in orgmode. I am even starting to get a little bit comfortable at writing my .emacs file but at some point I will have to do a lot of reorganizing and updating and I kind of dont want to do it (I still use .emacs and not emacs.d/init.el and all keybindings still use the legacy global-set-key command).
Apart from the work I am putting into it it is really great, because when I actually get to do stuff I can do so with great efficency. I am even starting to miss my emacs keybinds when not using emacs (especially ctrl-k for killing from your cursor position to the end of the line ctrl-a for jumping to the beginning of a line and ctrl-e for jumping to the end of a line). At this point when I am writing stuff in emacs (as example working on a bash script) I at maximum use my mouse for scrolling.
Fuck, I really did turn into the meme (and I am not even using it for longer than 4-5 months at maximum)___
Will definitely look into it. Currently Emacs and Firefox are about my main applications I use (except spyder, which is a python IDE)
Well, cool. Hope it was helpful, then.
I'll also mention one other point, if you're a big emacs and Firefox user. Won't solve the issue for URL bars or other non-webpage text, but if you do a fair bit of writing in HTML textareas in webpages, like on Lemmy instances or something, you can hand that off to (actual) emacs.
Install the
edit-serverpackage for emacs (M-x list-packages, wait for the emacs package manager to load the list, go toedit-server, hit "i" to flag for install and "x" to execute, orM-x package-installand just type out "edit-server").In an emacs instance run
M-x edit-server-start(or set it up to always run automatically at emacs startup but I run multiple emacs instances).Grab the Edit with Emacs Firefox addon. Install.
Now, by default all textareas will have a little blue button at the bottom reading "edit". Click it, and your textarea will open up in emacs.
C-c C-cto commit changes back to the textarea (OrC-x C-c, if you're exiting that instance of emacs). You can also right-click on the textarea and choose "Edit with Emacs".Jokes on you, I already mapped
M-x package-installtoS-p i.But that also sounds interesting. Will definitely try it out (and if its just for writing Lemmy comments)
