I'd say completely off. πŸ™ƒ Vim's command mode is more like Emacs's execute-extended-command.

Racism, obviously. The Turning Points half time show that was produced as an alternative sounds pretty sad too. Look up the line up, the only person I'd ever heard of was Kid Rock.

Isn't this just a normal part of aging? It happens more and more that you don't like new media and don't understand what those crazy kids are into?

Technically that doesn't prove Socrates never said it, he might've, though it would be one hell of a coincidence. It amuses me to think we'll never know.

There's probably something with with your installation or configuration. For me Emacs has always felt fast and has been getting faster, the biggest jump being of course the native compiler.

I'm an Emacs users, so unsurprisingly I use magit, but perhaps surprisingly I use it sparingly, using Emacs's VC most of the time.

This so dumb, but once on the AskReddit someone posted:

Your murderer says, "You get to choose one object. If I can't kill you in 15 minutes with that object, you get to leave." What do you choose?

I wrote:

A confetto (the singular of confetti).

And it received 4.5K up votes.

Someone should still rename it, even if that someone is not you. πŸ˜…

There's is already a fantastic programming language called q, you should rename yours.

The problem I have which which-key is that it applies only after a prefix.

There are commands which-key-show-major-mode and which-key-show-top-level, which you could use. On the embark side, there is embark-bindings which by default gives you bindings from the major mode and minor modes, but with C-u will give you global bindings.

Mutating a keymap with setc[ad]r is evil!

Agreed.

why not use (menu-item "dummy" KEYMAP :filter FUNCTION) instead?

Only because I didn't think of it!

I think you meant "tactile".

 

I explain what I dislike about which-key and what I think people should use instead.

I'm looking for opinions on org-roam from people that used plain old org for notes extensively before trying org-roam. I've trying to figure out if I'm missing anything by not trying org-roam and it's hard because when I ask org-roam users what they get out of it they tend to reply with stuff that I already know how to do in org: daily notes, capture notes quickly and unobtrusively, searching for notes, linking to other notes. Often it turns out these org-roam users did not use org before org-roam. The exceptions to functionality being available in org that I see mentioned are automatic backlinks and a graphical representation of the link structure.

I have no interest in the seeing the link graph, but I'm not sure about automatic backlinks. In what ways do people find them useful?

It could also happen that the org-roam features I feel I already have in org (daily notes, capturing, searching and linking) are somehow better in org-roam than in plain org. Fair enough, for example I wasn't completely happy with searching and linking in org by itself, so I now use the excellent org-ql package for those tasks. Could someone who has done these things both in plain org and org-roam describe if and how they are improved in org-roam? Particularly, is capturing in org-roam somehow better than org-capture? Are org-roam dailies better than a datetree?
