.emacs.d's Issues

Slllllow org mode

Trying to open your file in org-mode caused a super slow org-mode buffer for me. This was not the case when opening with emacs -q

Adding this line to your file fixed the lag issue, allowing me to brows your file without needing to open with emacs -q:
#+STARTUP: showeverything

Any ideas for a better solution? I don't use org-bullets, the disabling of which was suggested as a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40793325/emacs-diagnosis-org-mode-unbearably-slow-and-often-stalls

Removing (setq org-hide-leading-stars t) from my config also had no impact. I do use org-pomodoro Here is the org related section of my init.el:

  (use-package org
    :load-path "~/.emacs.d/packages/org-mode/lisp"
    :config
    (setq org-hide-leading-stars t)
    (setq org-default-notes-file "/Users/andrew/org/notes.org")
    (setq org-capture-templates
	  '(
	    ("t" "TODO" entry (file+headline "/Users/andrew/org/gtd.org" "Tasks")
	    "* TODO %? \n%U\n" :empty-lines 1)
	    ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "/Users/andrew/org/journal.org")
	    "* %?\nEntered on %U\n")
	    ("n" "Note" entry (file+headline "/Users/andrew/org/notes.org" "Notes")
	    "* %i\n")))
    (setq org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 3)
			       (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3)))
    (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
    (setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes 'confirm)
    (setq org-src-fontify-natively t)
    (setq org-agenda-files '("/Users/andrew/org/gtd.org"))
    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
	  '(("w" "work" tags-todo "TODO=\"TODO\"+category=\"pmi\"")))

link hygiene

Just a reminder that sic transit gloria webstuff, so when you link to something from your .org (like your link to this at line#=121 of Sacha.org), you should

1. First: archive if possible. The Wayback Machine usually WFM, but will occasionally choke due to robots.txt on the site to archive.
2. Periodically: remember to check for linkrot. It happens.

babel language identifier: R instead of r

Hi Sacha,

Your css style sheet looks really good and I want to set it as default for exported html. But I have a problem with src R block, it will shows nothing, it takes me a while to figure out that src r works fine.

I am not sure how the css works or how much effort to change from r to R in your style sheet, but shall we stick to the official language identifier?

how do *you* upgrade org-mode?

This is a somewhat unusual issue, since I'm not yet an actual user. But it seems like a legitimate concern (YMMV), and I don't know of a better channel to raise it (feel free to point me elsewhere), so here goes: 3 questions about upgrading Org from your Emacs configuration.

I'm looking to adopt a new Emacs configuration (for complicated reasons that I'm still writing out) and yours is one I'm considering. I like the idea of using Org to literate-program Emacs-config files (et lots cetera), as you do. Accordingly another public Emacs configuration at which I'm looking is Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit, which also keeps its config in .org files. Given his reliance on Org, I noticed this open issue on ESK.

The problem appears to be (as described in more detail in this link from the above issue), one can't update Org when it's in use ... which is obviously problematic if one's Emacs config, and therefore Emacs session, depends fundamentally on Org. So my questions are

1. Is this an obsolete problem? The ESK issue is almost a year old now (Nov 2015), and the article to which it points is almost 2 years old. So perhaps this problem has just gone away? If not, ...

2. Is this not a problem for your config? I notice ESK has a normal elisp init.el stub which uses org-babel-load-file to load the rest of his configuration, so an ESK-configured Emacs session is always running Org. By contrast, you are using Org offline to write your config to a Sacha.el, which is the target for the symlink that is your init.el.

That being said, (a) I'm guessing that this problem has not gone away, and (b) I notice that you start running Org fairly soon (relatively speaking--you have one seriously BFIS**[1]** :-) If so, I'd like to know,

3. How do you update Org? I'm guessing long-time org-moders keep some alternate configuration or emacs -q one-liner available for this purpose, but since I'm not yet assimilated into the Org I really don't know.

Comparing shopping with Emacs not working?

How do you call/execute a code block with the function to compare shopping with Emacs? Also, this link doesn't work:

Thanks

Could you please rebase or delete?

Sorry, I messed up. @robertsgareth, @xashes, @peterpolidoro, @hobbes38111, @jonathan-willis, @keremvatandas, @KrokodileGlue, and @mik-d, could you please rebase or delete your forks? =|

Do you have emacs configuration for python development base on spacemacs?

Thank you for your shared configuration.
Excuse me, do you have any configuration of emacs based on spacemacs mainly used for python development?
Thanks~

add readme, point to http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html

I'm looking to adopt a new Emacs configuration (for complicated reasons that I'm still writing out) and yours is one I'm considering. Basically I'm looking at various public .emacs.d to see how they're assembled, what functionality they bring in "for free" (to adopters), how active they are, etc. I kinda like yours, but was getting frustrated browsing Sacha.org because

1. It's one seriously big <bleep/>ing init script! "Monolithic" like Stone-<bleep>ing-henge !-)
2. It has no table of contents, making it very hard to browse for functionality, etc.
3. I thought, "NP, Sacha.html will surely have a TOC." And it does, as I notice in line#=239 ... but only because GitHub insists on showing HTML! (but with syntax highlighting! that sure makes it more readable :-)

Eventually I noticed I was in branch=gh-pages, dopeslapped myself, and found my way to http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html . But perhaps you could make a readme.org for your project, and add text pointing to that page? That should prevent slow folks like me from wasting time, and even slower folks (or at least, folks with less GH experience) from just giving up.

A possible typo?

Thanks for your beautifully written configuration! I wonder if there is a typo in the second line from the bottom of this excerpt (see following). Is the letter 't' not supposed to be outside of the parentheses? Thank you!
