Weekly Wrap-up #2

<p> This week saw me get very behind on writing these posts—I had a lot of other commitments, and I didn&#39;t work hard enough to make the time.</p> <p> I did find myeslf using <code class="verbatim">C-o</code> in the minibuffer a few times, and I did use <code class="verbatim">M-&lt;num&gt;</code> a couple of times when using numeric prefixes, but I didn&#39;t make any great progress in efficiency.</p> <p> One thing I did do, that I&#39;m not quite ready to talk about here, is work a lot on my Org-mode setup. Though there are things about Org-mode that I do not love—the biggest of which is that it&#39;s free-form-ness often leaves me feeling like good structure is impossible to find—it&#39;s an astonishingly useful tool once you begin to adapt to it. I&#39;ve been doing more of that of late—my use of <a href="https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog">org2blog</a> for this blog is part of this—and I hope to do even more, perhaps even getting into writing some elisp.</p>

Weekly Wrap-up #1

<p> This blog is supposed to be about what I&#39;m learning and how the process of refining my use of Emacs is going, so each week I&#39;ll be looking at what I wrote about in the past week (or perhaps earlier) and assessing how much I&#39;ve been able to change my habits or otherwise make use of my new knowledge.</p> <p> So this first week has gone pretty well—using <code class="verbatim">M-g M-g (goto-line)</code> instead of <code class="verbatim">M-x goto-line</code> has come up a couple of times and I&#39;ve remembered the new way of doing things, and similarly <code class="verbatim">C-/ (undo)</code> for undo. The change back to the prior handling of <code class="verbatim">line-move-visual</code> hasn&#39;t come up as much as I expected—I have a much wider terminal these days, so it&#39;s less of an issue—but I&#39;m nonetheless glad to have made the change back.</p>
