<h1 class="title">What Do I Want To Do With Emacs</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I first started using Emacs (and Linux for that matter) since around the end of 2023, and it's been well over a year of trial and error with this text editor. At first I was using this for all sorts of things such as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul class="org-ul">
|
|
<li>Dashboard</li>
|
|
<li>Agenda</li>
|
|
<li>Text editing</li>
|
|
<li>Magit (version controlling)</li>
|
|
<li>Syncthing Management</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
… and the list goes on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One thing I realised is just how powerful Emacs really is, just recently I found out that you can use the <code>emoji-insert</code> to insert emojis! Some have even gone to say it's an operating system in its own right. So this prompted the question today, what do <i>I</i> want from Emacs?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After some thinking I narrowed it down and collated it in the following diagram:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div id="org939070f" class="figure">
|
|
<p><img src="../../../assets/2025-08-08-emacs.svg" alt="2025-08-08-emacs.svg" class="org-svg" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Of course this is the current workflow, where the text in red are items I <i>currently</i> use Emacs for (high percentage likelihood this will increase), and the items in blue text are ones I plan on adding to my workflow. The main thing I want from this is to ensure consistency in daily practices.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul class="org-ul">
|
|
<li>Org-roam bodies a huge aspect of the daily workflow, as it is a second brain where all information is stored.</li>
|
|
<li>Learning elisp is primarily done in the scratch buffer and through projects.</li>
|
|
<li>Java/Python IDE for when I'm leetcoding or doing any arbitrary project.</li>
|
|
<li>Text editing mainly relates to config files for the arch setup.</li>
|
|
<li>Org-agenda (more on this <a href="org-agenda-usage.html">here</a>).</li>
|
|
<li>Org-publish: see <a href="../../../setup.html">setup</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
