COPYQ PURE TEXT GENERATOR
Since then I’ve written a pass-phrase generator command line program that I named pgen which I use instead, so because I no longer use the address bar for passwords there is rarely anything sensitive that I am typing. The primary reason that I disabled search suggestions was that I used to type out the passwords for new accounts in the address bar first and copy them and then paste them twice into the password and confirm password fields respectively. I used to disable “search suggestions” so I wouldn’t be sending all of that stuff to Google but at the same time search suggestions can actually be useful sometimes so now I have it enabled anyway, meaning that I send a lot of random stuff to Google. > On Linux, I usually abuse the address bar of the browser. Emacs, being a runtime-modifiable, introspectable and tremendously well documented system with a decent REPL, makes this quick and relatively painless. If you need something new, you can probably add it with a little bit of Elisp in no time. If you need something to interoperate more, you can glue it with together with a little bit of Elisp. It's because Emacs makes such modifications seem trivial. This is also why I try to port as much of my workflow as I can to Emacs. I regret it took me that long to figure this out. It's definitely useful for UI experience as well. Improving your life on the fly, one simple binding or one simple script at a time. The point of giving those examples, beyond obviously showing off :), is that this is what IMO good software enables. unlike my Emacs config, most of this was written by me, on the fly, to fix some annoyances.
COPYQ PURE TEXT FULL
My config becomes increasingly full of ad-hoc popup menus like these. Speaking of whipping up ad-hoc UIs on the fly, the Hydra package ( ) is perfect for that in Emacs. Since I already used AutoHotkey to remap Caps Lock to CTRL, this is what I came with (and later expanded).
At my previous workplace, I found myself pasting some strings to various communications channels quickly. I frequently deal with Lisp code that outputs large structured or semistructured blobs of text at some point I decided I need a quick way to pipe such output to a separate Emacs buffer. Be it elisp (Emacs), CL (Linux - I use StumpWM as my WM), or AutoHotkey (Windows).
Today, if I do something frequently and find it annoying, I fix it with a script.
I try to port all my workflow to Emacs, because with all the power and consistency of that keyboard-driven platform, I can finally put my muscle memory to use.īeyond that, I finally developed a habit of automating annoyances away. And which is why I abandoned both Windows and Linux for using Emacs as my OS :).
