Luke T. ShumakerThis is a very normal amount of `gitk` windows for me to forget that I have open. And that's just the ones that I launched from that terminal, there were also a few launched from other terminals.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#git</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/exwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exwm</a>

Luke T. ShumakerA few years ago I did a quick analysis of my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bash</a> histfile and horrified my coworkers that `<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#git</a> rebase` was my most frequently used command.It's not on top, but It's still in the top 10. (I think gitk getting so much higher up is that with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EXWM</a> I loose track of windows more than I did with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/WMII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WMII</a>, so I just open a new one, and end up with 15 open gitk windows before I realize this and run `killall wish`).(HISTSIZE is set to 50,000 commands, which comes out to about 8 months)

Ludovic CourtèsI set up ‘home-msmtp-service-type’ with ‘password-eval’ set to “secret-tool lookup Title smtp.example.org” such that it would ask KeepassXC for the SMTP password, and then adjusted Gnus accordingly.Problem is I’m using <a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EXWM</a> so when I hit C-c C-c, Emacs goes on to spawn ‘msmtp’, which in turn leads KeepassXC to try to open a window, which hangs because Emacs is stuck in ‘waitpid’ waiting for ‘msmtp’ to complete.Any known workaround, hackers?

Ludovic CourtèsDear <a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EXWM</a>,I love you, I really do, but recognize that you haven’t made my life easy over the last couple of months.

Fabio NataliOh my!! This is a life-changing <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIL</a>.tl;dr:``` (setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t) ```I live in Emacs and <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EXWM</a>. I can copy text from anywhere (including graphical applications) and yank it to an Emacs buffer. However, when text was copied from a graphical app, it could then get overwritten (and lost) by a subsequent Emacs kill. `save-interprogram-paste-before-kill` makes the kill/yank behaviour consistent across buffers and graphical applications.Thanks <a href="https://indieweb.social/@srijan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@srijan</a> for the original post and <a href="https://social.sachachua.com/@sacha" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sacha</a> for RT. 🙏<a href="https://indieweb.social/@srijan/113193678569879361" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://indieweb.social/@srijan/113193678569879361</a>

Fabio NataliYou say you like <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/recursion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recursion</a> but have you ever tried <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/EmacsInEmacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmacsInEmacs</a>? You can launch a non-graphical Emacs session from an Emacs terminal, e.g. <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/libvterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libvterm</a> or <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/EAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EAT</a>.How to control whether a key binding should be interpreted by the host Emacs or passed down to the guest session? Toggle between "line-mode" and "char-mode", both libvterm and EAT provide functions for that.Similarly, if <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EXWM</a> is your window manager, you can launch a secondary graphical Emacs session within the primary session. In this case, use 'exwm-input-toggle-keyboard' and 'exwm-reset' to switch between line and character mode.This is useful e.g. when experimenting with new Emacs configurations or different versions. E.g. under Guix:``` guix shell \ --container \ --no-cwd \ --preserve="^DISPLAY$" \ --expose=/tmp/.X11-unix \ --expose=/home/user/.Xauthority \ emacs -- emacs ```

éric 🚲 🇪🇺 :emacs:<a href="https://emacs.ch/@craigbro" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@craigbro</a> The subtle impact of using <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/exwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exwm</a> in <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> is interesting. The lack of an intermediate level (a separate window manager) makes for a more intuitive and natural interface: you only have to think the Emacs way and everything just works.

éric 🚲 🇪🇺 :emacs:A few weeks ago, having upgraded both the operating system (due to security requirements) and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a>, my window manager, <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/exwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exwm</a>, stopped working. Okay, switched to <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/StumpWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StumpWM</a>, which is fine, but I missed exwm. Just spent a couple of hours cleaning up my configuration files and getting exwm working again! Happily back in the fold. 🙂
