@screwlisp@gamerplus.org @yantar92@fosstodon.org @bagder@mastodon.social @me workflow: https://xkcd.com/1172/ The lack of UI & being stuck in emacs in org-mode, just more not-markdown, is the real workflow killer for me. As opposed to either portable markdown where you also have to just use text & hack your own tools (I do a lot with sed, awk, or python over md files), or all UI (but also programmable, tho shortcuts isn't as good as applescript was 10+ years ago): https://www.omnigroup.com/omnioutliner/

@yantar92@fosstodon.org I had an idea for a few projects I will look into contributing to org. Particularly, my usual common lisp compiler is lisp-as-a-C-or-C++-library which would benefit from explicitly different treatment to most lisp compilers, and explicit support for the common lisp interface manager. Admittedly, both my ideas are just @jackdaniel@functional.cafe s' keynote and regular European lisp symposium talks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4pM9cjpeLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNHjIqlITmE Will see what I think about bugs.

Something that came up in yesterday's show about org mode was a wish to mix major modes in the same Emacs buffer. (I suppose that would be multimodal editing, but I can also imagine it called polymodal editing.) A possible approach to tackle this partially is to copy a section of the buffer into a temporary buffer, edit it there in the appropriate mode, and copy it back. This is clumsy, of course, and the effort to implement it might be too big, but such a feature would be better than nothing. (Today I again found myself wishing I had mixed modes, and that without org mode.) #Emacs #MixedMajorModes #MultimodalBuffers #MultimodalEditing #PolymodalBuffers #PolymodalEditing #OrgMode @screwlisp@gamerplus.org @yantar92@fosstodon.org @bagder@mastodon.social @me
