Great insights on his personal workflow and setup. Nice to get some ideas to improve your personal #PIM setup as well.

CC @curtismchale I gave up. I'm using #emacs #orgmode now

CC @greg I doubt whether this is a worthy submission, but the carnival was an inspiration ><

My #emacs #writing #writingExperience #emacsCarnival submission.

Discussing my transition to #eev away from being a heavy user of the popular #orgmode.

My writing primarily concerns #lisp #programming, so the difference between #eepitch and #orgBabel features heavily.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone including the other emacs carnivalians.

Writing in Emacs, my submission for the Emacs Carnival. A discussion of how I use it for solo and asynchronous collaboration, and my hopes for where it's going for synchronous sharing.

Writing experience: My decade with Org. ~ Álvaro Ramírez. https://xenodium.com/writing-experience-my-decade-with-org #Emacs #OrgMode

I'm setting up a agenda file seasons.org where I will add the seasons for fruits, vegetables and other yearly reoccuring periods. An example would be Strawberry Season from 1. of June to 31. of August every year.

Does anyone know a good trick on how to set that up with diary or with org org-mode timestamps?

This month marks my 20th anniversary of using emacs. I started using it at a summer science program because the tutors recommended it to write our papers. I persisted because a good friend told me earnestly that "emacs is the best text editor in the world", even though I didn't know what "text editor" meant back then.

I don't know if that statement is true, but I've never felt the need to switch. Because... well, every time there is something I want my text editor to do, there has been a way to do it in emacs, and so much more besides.

To the many people who have contributed generously to the emacs community over the years - thank you! I know that some of you are on Mastodon. In no special order: @sacha @yantar92 @oantolin @daviwil @howard @publicvoit @karthink @kickingvegas

I'm sure I have missed a ton of people so please feel free to mention anyone else you think of.

I'm joining the carnival!

#emacs question

PROBLEM: trying to search for text in #orgmode while ignoring invisible formatting characters.

The evil-search-forward function invokes isearch-forward function, but it doesn't matter how many times i toggle that searching for "this and that" never matches "this /and/ that" even though the formatting slashes are currently invisible.

Anyone know what Magic incantation I need to perform?

I use the excellent org-ql #Emacs package to search my #OrgMode files, and I got tired of typing the keywords so I made a bunch of keyboard macros to insert them for me:

(use-package org-ql-completing-read
:defer t
:bind
(:map org-ql-completing-read-map
:prefix "C-:"
:prefix-map org-ql-syntax-map
("t" . "todo:")
("C" . "clocked:")
("h" . "heading:")
(":" . "tags:")
("s" . "src:")
("T" . "ts:")
("p" . "priority:")
("c" . "category:")
("l" . "level:")))
