Is there a text editor/notes app that adds Unicode symbols?
  • Some applications can't display some Unicode strings like s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so replacing Markdown element like ~strike~ with Unicode equivalent (s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵ ) may not be a good idea if you want portability. I opened your post in text editors and noticed that neovim-qt drops s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵'s combining characters (issue on Github) and just displays stroke instead of s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵; GUI Emacs with my font settings (Noto) doesn't combine the characters and displays s-t-r-o-k-e- (as I said, this may depends on font settings).

  • Show/highlight invisible characters like zero-width-space in Emacs
  • I don't know why the motion didn't work in Evil mode, but if the goal is deleting all invisible Unicode characters, I'd write a command like this:

    (defun my/delete-invisibles-in-region (start end)
      "Delete invisible characters in the region specified with START and END."
      (interactive "r")
      (save-excursion
        (replace-regexp "\u200B\\|\u200C" "" nil start end))
        ;; (query-replace-regexp "\u200B\\|\u200C" "" nil start end))
      (deactivate-mark))
    
  • Wrote minimal minibuffer-centric MPD client
  • Thank you for trying the package! I completely forgot to mention require in README, and didn't know package-vc-install. I'll add it to README later.

    I’m using emacs’ built-in completion–it works fine.

    I hope it works on other packages like helm or ivy too.

    Minimal MPD Client for Emacs

    minimpc.el

    I wrote this script to learn how completing-read's complex arguments works. Compared to other clients it's quite limited; but thanks to packages like Vertico and Orderless, it works quite well for my use cases.

    Seeking feedback on lemmy-ui-next! (Milestone 2 is nearing completion!)
  • Thanks for the hard work. It's already quite usable for me. Here are the issues I noticed on Firefox/Linux:

    • Each comment area seems to have overflow (caused by the text buttons?), so hovering a mouse cursor on the comment reveals hidden scroll bar on the right.
    • Titles are too bold and look somewhat intimidating.
    • Rendered inline code (`...`) leaves the backquotes like this.
  • To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm?
  • I stick with C-s (similar to vim's /) because of the exact reason you said, and I'm happy with C-s.

    Please note that C-s <some characters> RET moves the cursor at the end of the target (/ moves it at the beginning). If you don't like the behavior, see this post (I use C-s ... C-r RET in that case).

  • Try `C-[ C-char` if you don't like `C-M-char`

    In vim terminal I use C-[ for ESC to escape from insert mode a lot, but didn't know C-[ works in GUI version of Emacs until recently. Since Meta can be replaced with ESC, we can enter C-M-s, for example, with C-[ C-s.

    Rectangle for Linux?
  • Thanks for the clarification. I switched from Xfce4 to GNOME many years ago because the former doesn't support Wayland at that time, but I still miss the manual quarter tiling with the shortcut keys.

  • Announcing lemmy-ui-next, an alternative Lemmy frontend built with NextJS!
  • Strong focus on privacy and security (all authentication with the Lemmy API is done through secure httpOnly cookies, user IP addresses are not leaked to external image hosts, etc)

    Awesome. The current lemmy-ui sends a lot of traffic to other Lemmy instances to get pictrs-cached images, so this is huge improvement. On the other hand, on next.lemm.ee those requests seems to be gone. As feedback, I noticed this page still seems to send a request to imgur, and the text is difficult to read because of the low-contrast theme. (edit: fixed and now completely readable. thank you @sunaurus@lemm.ee )

    Seppo: Personal Social Web
  • I think you're right. In CGI, web server spawns a process for each incoming request to the CGI app, so the author provide static files for visitors to reduce the overhead.

    Edit: here is the repository: https://codeberg.org/seppo/seppo and written in OCaml, so the single file CGI app is a compiled binary.
