Custom Capture System - Need AdviceHello,I am a university student studying medicine, and have a certain way of taking notes that has not really been fulfilled by most of the note-taking apps; well perhaps by Logseq. However the current state of logseq makes it rather difficult to use, and I know that Emacs' org-mode and its sheer customisable nature triumphs for my needs since they're quite tailored. Anyway, tangent aside.My main idea I would like to ask you all for some possible advice on how to re-create my current structure of note-taking in Emacs:1. Captures happen in a central "journal" folder, where its essentially a free for all on whatever I want to note2. Each note should be a block, which can be referenced by linking to a topic either with "wiki links" like org-roam or with simple tags for a given topic. 3. Each tag can be a buffer/view which is an unordered aggregate of all the blocks which reference the tag/topic. 1. This block can be duplicated into multiple locations viaMy reasoning for why this method helps me I take mostly notes which are related to medical topics, however these are not summaries of textbooks or other notes. Instead, they are my own understanding of a given topic. Learning medicine for me has been rather fragmented. The volume of preclinical and clinical knowledge makes it so that I learn new things about stuff that I have covered many years ago. Being able to have aggregates of all my thinking is nice because it can give me a good overview of what my thinking is. And how I really understand a topic. If there's any mistakes/misunderstandings of a given topic, I find it easier to recognize.What I have triedEKGI have tried to use Emacs-Knowledge-Graph, and it is genuinely the closest I have gotten to replicating this system.Pros: Create "blocks" of information which can be tagged in-line, and you can search for blocks based on each of the tags. It works out of the boxCons: It feels rather disconnected from the rest of emacs. I would like to add any interesting cases that I meet during clinicals into here, maybe as my "daily diary" be integrated into it. However, having this into EKG seems kind of odd as journal entries arent really "knowledge graphs" if that makes sense?Org-roamOrg-roam has been quite interesting, and a nice transition from Obsidian - which i used before moving to Emacs. However I found that my philosophy for notetaking shifted drastically. I dont do information "per file" anymore, so having to write for each file, and if I want to link something, I have to create the file, and then copy-paste the mentioning block into the referenced node. All in all, I doubt org-roam is the right tool for the job, and makes the process rather tedious. What I would like help withI would like to hear from people if there's anything I missed! Are there any features of packages I have tried, which may get me closer to my "ideal"? Do you have any other packages I can try? Am I able to achieve my goal without any extra packages at all? Just base Emacs? Is there anything else you would like to suggest?I am not really a programmer, but I am definitely willing to learn! As long as I am able to find time for it, and can prioritize my studies over configuring emacs... though that has been a slippery slope.redd.it/1ujnwcq@r_emacs

Vague theme for emacs built on top of Modus themesHi all,I recently made the emacs port for the excellent vague theme. It is built on top of Modus themes and I've been daily driving it since then.Happy to hear feedback/suggestions. It would be great if people could try it and report issues on the issue tracker.Main repository: github.com/paniash/modus-vaguehttps://red…
Update Reddigg is now a fullblown reddit clientJust an update for one or two users of my reddigg package (github.com/thanhvg/emacs-reddigg). It has become a flullblown client. Beside reading, you should be able to submit a post, make a comment, upvote, downvote, edit your post, your comment... There is a dedicated minor mode which some of the users have been asking for but I was too lazy. Key bindings are not complete yet though.If you can see this post it means it works because I did it through reddigg.Okay here is the fine print:- you must have browsel github.com/dmgerman/browsel, btw many thanks to the creator of this awesome package.- you must have a reddit account, have your browser open old reddit and allow browsel to run on that tab.- reddigg will use browsel to drive the interaction with reddit through your browser.- llm code but lgtm :P- Don't think so but reddit might ban me and you. they closed the free access to old reddit recenly which led me to make this changeredd.it/1vqy5pn@r_emacs
What is emacs canvas and how does it work?Emacs Canvas (patch) on redditFrom my understanding of how programs draw to screens, it seems that Emacs canvas provides a video buffer to external graphics programs or libraries so that instead of drawing to the regular screen, they draw inside a video buffer created and displayed within Emacs.The equivalent I can think of is the case of VNC or Xpra where a program uses a $DISPLAY which is rendered remotely on the client.Would that mean that getting a program to run in a canvas would be along the lines:(emacs-create-canvas height width buffer-name "/usr/bin/random-gui-program -param 1 -param -2")?I suppose there would be some additional parameters relating to passing key strokes, controlling window movement and size etc.redd.it/1vqtjmi@r_emacs

Emacs AI assistants (results)Disclaimer: I'm not a heavy AI user, I'm just trying to understand the differences between AI harnesses specifically for Emacs and if using the real harness claude-code would even make a difference.I like agent-shell more than anything else I've tried in Emacs including ECA which I recently configured but never used for anything.Today I decided to give them both a try to a relatively complicated task (reviewing code) and oh boy, ECA was not only better but thousands of times better.They both are using the same model and configs so I feel I'm missing something here, agent-shell failed to trigger simple things as bufffer overflows while ECA correctly pointed out the issue and fix. I'm I missing something here? Anybody had experience with this kind of things?redd.it/1vqr0f9@r_emacs
Tempted to try Meow over Evil, but worried about IntelliJ / cross-editor muscle memoryI'm coming back to Emacs and I'm playing with Doom and vanilla configurations. I'm really tempted to ditch Evil and give Meow a proper shot. The selection-first model and native Emacs integration make a lot of sense to me, but I have one major hesitation: portability.At work, we use IntelliJ (I enabled IdeaVim). Sticking with Evil on Emacs means my muscle memory stays aligned between Doom/Emacs and my IDE. If I switch to Meow, I'm worried about the context-switching friction during the workday.Has anyone managed to port Meow-style bindings/selection mechanics to IntelliJ or found a solid way to bridge that gap? Would love to hear how others handle using Meow alongside non-Emacs tools at work.Thanks!redd.it/1vqkogz@r_emacs
