It’s worth noting that Vim has a lot of these *prg settings you can customize per file type: makeprg, formatprg, equalprg, etc.

Makes sense – thanks for the explanation and for ripgrep. Personally, I love this default and find it way more usable than grep in most cases. It’s a more important feature to me than the per-file search speed, since grep is often fast enou

rg, fd, etc. all use not only .gitignore, but also merge in rules from a global gitignore in your home directory, as well as a local .ignore file that takes precedence over .gitignore. Setting up all that with CLI flags is a lot of work for

I don’t know which field you work in, but I do research in physics and chemistry and L is the dominant convention in the papers I read. I also teach intro physics at the university level and the textbook uses L. In high school (~2008) we we

I’m more used to seeing “m2” on mobile, but it’s probably different between regions.

Note: The official SI unit “liter” was written “l” until a couple of decades ago, when they changed it to “L” due to frequent legibility issues (l/I/1). Some old texts use the old convention.

Perhaps the best of both worlds would just be to write a warning to stderr by default that files in .gitignore have been ignored (only if such a file is applied)?

Note that ePub is basically just a zipped HTML file, and has become quite common for ebooks. I don’t know how that might be for archiving purposes? I generally stick to PDF myself, but I do sometimes wish it would be more ergonomic to reflo

I do exactly the same: I have a Git repo that is cloned into ~/.config and that covers most of the terminal apps that I use. For the holdouts that don’t yet support that config directory, I have a short Makefile that sets up the requir

Interesting idea. I guess one alternative approach would be to defadvice “howm-create” to prompt for a major mode, e.g. by let-binding the “howm-template” variable to contain “- - mode: … - -“ on top and prompt the user for a mode?

LaTerminal is pretty cool, AFAIK the only iPad terminal that supports images (via either libsixel or the iTerm2 image protocol).

What I personally do is to first type the title, then press either M-> or END to jump to the end of the buffer, and then just keep typing from there. You can however place the date above the title if you want: (setq howm-view-title

Howm is a minor mode, and can be used with any text format that Emacs supports. Whether it’s useful to combine them is another question, I guess it depends on whether you use TeXinfo for notes or documents? I thought TeXinfo is mostly use

Strange. I'm using it on Emacs 30.0.90 (nightly builds), and haven't had that issue. Personally I don't use its main menu though (which C-c , , runs), but rather "M-x howm-create" to capture new notes and then after

In case this is useful to others, this is the config I myself use to couple Howm to Org-mode: (use-package howm :after org :init ;; Org-compatible filenames and syntax. (setq howm-file-name-format "%Y-%m-%

I feel that it’s a different type of simplicity: Denote is simple and well-designed, but I personally found it a hassle to actually organize things in it. For instance, to actually find again my content when I need it, I find that it’s imp

That is indeed the principle around which Howm is designed. To quote its author: > If you don’t organize notes, it’s wearisome to read them. > If you try to organize notes, it’s wearisome to write them. > The need of trade-off is

I haven’t really stress-tested it, but I would imagine that it scales well since (I) it can be configured to use Ripgrep to resolve searches and “goto links”, and (II) the “comefrom links” are cached on save. I haven’t used org-brain though

For read-only access, I’ve heard that Hugo can be used with Org. It’s perhaps more used for blogs than wikis, but it should give you a clean and lightweight website of linked HTML files generated from the Org files, which might be sufficien

Yes. If you use Org-mode or Markdown-mode in GUI Emacs, I believe this works by default in the development version (since “yank-media” was introduced). If you use other versions of Emacs, or just want more control over where the files go an

Howm has a simple solution for this: Links like “>>> this thing” searches for “this thing” and opens a search buffer. The top hit is already marked, shown in a preview window below, and can be opened by clicking enter. But if you w

I actually switched from Deft -> Xeft -> Howm as my main UI for searching and creating notes :). Xeft is indeed great, and I still keep it around for more involved searches (like “+key1 -key2” and “key1 NEAR key2”). But most of my sea
