Emacs

Here are some emacs tips I jotted down. God only knows how old they are…

modules I’ve written

gnus-checker.el

Simple (yet somwhat configurable) mode line mail indicator for gnus.

anything-make.el

Have make targets for the nearest makefile up the filesystem tree from cwd appear as an anything.el source.

xmlgen.el

Produce XML from a sexp.

etest

ETest lets you define tests in a domain specific, hierarchical manner and gather results in a simple, structure of the same shape.

prove.el

A perl compilation mode with syntax highlighting, folding and the usual compilation stuff.

figlet.el

Anger your co-workers by checking in ascii-art text to trunk. Then blame it on this module ’cos it made it so easy.

project-root.el

Define ‘projects’ with elisp and act accordingly when a file contained within a project is ‘hit’.

org-annotate-file.el

This is yet another implementation to allow the annotation of a file without modification of the file itself. The annotation is in org syntax so you can use all of the org features you are used to.

ack.el

ack.el provides a simple compilation mode for the perl grep-a-like ack. It has the ability to guess what files you want to search for based on the major-mode.

smallurl.el

Tinify URLs via an online API.

find-cmd.el (part of GNU emacs)

DSL wrapper for find(1).

org-irc.el (part of GNU emacs)

This file implements links to an IRC session from within Org-mode. Org-mode loads this module by default – if this is not what you want, configure the variable `org-modules’.
