From a security perspective, I don't think it's possible to do with the standard OS APIs. When an application makes data available in the clipboard, it's a free-for-all for every other application. The clipboard manager would

I'm using CopyQ (and SyncThing) right now. Its design limits the number of entries, and sync doesn't work very well.

Thanks for sharing! As I understood, I think many clipboard managers already allow this, or at least, CopyQ and Ditto do. The approach is to just copy all the items you need, and then press "Win+V 5" five times. 5 would paste the

I'm working on a clipboard manager, because I'm not happy with any of the ones currently available. Here are my design goals: - The system should be able to efficiently store, manipulate, and search an unlimited number of clipboar

If you mean as a shebang (#!/bin/sh -eu), I would suggest switching to using "set" instead, because the shebang will not be interpreted if the script is ran as "sh script.sh" (as opposed to ./script.sh).

That's quite a number of bad-faith assumptions in your comment, which are also incidentally wrong. > e makes it super annoying I rest my case?

I have not tried the multiple cursors package, but regarding the problem of manipulating several lines at once with instant preview, you could look at the visual-regexp package: https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp.el

Fighting against idiomatic Emacs keybindings is an uphill battle, but the hill is not very steep. The recipe that works for me: 1. Bind the behavior you want in the global map. (global-set-key (kbd "<key-here>") #'the-a

That's very cool, but I've personally greatly enjoyed learning and programming in Emacs Lisp. Not only does its ability to immediately evaluate and hot-patch anything work very well with the way it's used in Emacs, but also i

When I was choosing the next editor to settle on and invest into, what convincingly swayed me towards Emacs was the number of reports of vim users who later moved to Emacs, vs. the number of reports of users who moved in the other direction

Most programming languages are already generally deterministic. Pick any programming language. Now, remove access to I/O (except standard input and output), networking, time, random number generators, threads, OS syscalls, etc. Given a

You can use pretty much any Turing complete language to achieve this constraint, as long as its inputs and execution are deterministic. The language itself doesn't have to be purely functional.

I am not, and have never been a Microsoft employee. You can search online for my name / username to find my open-source contribution history, if you would like. I hope that sufficiently answers your query.

If I were to guess, it would be that the action performed here (or the basis of the code implementing this action) was intended to be done on internal Microsoft repositories that should be open-sourced.

Emacs Calc (not unlike much of the rest of Emacs) is a little ... special. By default, it calculates 4/2*2 as 1, because multiplication has a higher precedence than division. https://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-synt

I think, except for very large volumes, automated paging is inferior to terminal scrollback. It is conditionally modal (thus conflicts with muscle memory) and you can't see previous output and the paged output at the same time (quittin

No. Also, I tried that with youtube-dl but it doesn't work reliably (throttling still takes effect, with all but one connection simply timing out). [1] yt-dlp uses a different method than youtube-dl (I believe it uses the API used by t
