macosrec: take screenshots/videos of macOS windows from the command line
You might want to look into the new ScreenCaptureKit API instead.

I don’t think anyone should encourage anyone to produce videos in GIF (/dʒɪf/) format. There are many better alternatives: APNG, H264, WEBP, etc.

I’m personally fond of (global-)hl-line-mode.

Thanks for all your elisp contributions, and, more importantly, thanks for your write-ups! They are concise, informative and playful. Very Emacsy.
Since I started reading you, I’ve been much more bold in reaching for a few dozen lines of elisp to scratch an itch here and there.

Interesting! Does this have facilities to send code to the shell so you can ask chatgpt about the code?

I use org-tree-slide mode and did not know about
org-present. Would someone know how the two compare? (I can’t tell from looking at the org-present page.)(Edit: opened an upstream issue to encourage the author to include such a comparison in their README.)

Not a direct comparison but David on System Crafters has videos on each:

What are your favorite Mastodon technology/programming community servers
For Emacs enthusiasts, https://emacs.ch is wonderful. It’s got a growing level of Emacs engagement I hadn’t seen for some time.
-
Ok, but all of this is
sh, not emacs, right?-
-
As an Emacs user, if the feature is well integrated and useful, I’m not too fussy about its implementation.
The feature, though using a tiny shell script and command line utility, is surfaced via Emacs M-x. It knows whether to apply functionality to current image buffer or file selection in dired. When I use it, I interact with Emacs.

I’m still learning AppKit, but couldn’t you enumerate the sharing services and display them in an Emacs buffer?
Also, why not bridge Objective-C directly from elisp?

@calvin Try v0.25 or this change: https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command/commit/20e782b4bf1ea01fecfce3cc8ac4c5a74518cd80

This looks great! Seems to hang when I undo, though. (Using Doom Emacs.)

Thank you.

Experiment kind of quality for sure =P
ok, threw in a

This is the reason I have alias vim=‘emacsclient -nc’
And relatedly the reason that I install dtrx on every machine I touch.
-

Yep. And I have some more of that sort:
alias ecc='emacsclient -c' alias eccn='emacsclient -c -n' alias ecn='emacsclient -n' alias ecnw='emacsclient -c -nw'(I should use them more often. I actually forgot about them until this comment. :-)
Another set of aliases which I consider life hacks of this kind, i.e. which I use all the time:
Git related
APT-related or otherwise debian-specificalias amend='git commit --amend' alias ga='git annex' alias gap='git add -p'alias acs='apt-cache show --no-all-versions' alias acp='apt-cache policy' alias acr='apt-cache rdepends' alias ac/='apt-cache search' alias acn='apt-cache search -n' alias af/='apt-file search' alias afl='apt-file list' alias acsrc='apt-cache showsrc' # Use like "btsmutt 123456" to open a Debian bug report in mutt alias btsmutt='bts --mbox show'(Aliases with a slash in their name IIRC don’t work in Bash, but they do work in Zsh. So I mostly don’t care about that detail.)
And yeah, in the meanwhile I could replace
SSH relatedapt-getandapt-cachein most of these with justapt. I’d though still keep the alias names due to muscle memory…# My "get me a remote screen session and stay connected no matter how" command function asc() { # Set the title to something more obvious, e.g. the expanded # alias, eh, function print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m: autossh -t $* 'screen -RdU'\a"; # For the following hack for getting ssh-agent to work inside the # reattached screen session, see # http://samrowe.com/wordpress/ssh-agent-and-gnu-screen/ and # http://www.stderr.nl/Blog/Software/Mutt/MuttRemoteAttachments.html?seemore=y autossh -x -A -t "$@" 'screen -RdU' } compdef asc=ssh(Granted, it’s a bit too complex for an alias and that
Otherscompdefthingy is zsh-specific, but not required.)alias t=task-
Thanks. Interesting to see. I used to have many equivalents to these. Over time, they have gradually dissapeared to Emacs flows (ie. magit). If invoking shell utils, I now use dwim wrappers for password protecting pdfs, creating macOS icons, and all others here.
-
Learning how to use magit is still on my TODO list. I bascially do all git stuff on the commandline and use
emacsclientto edit files in the already running Emacs instance from the commandline.And thanks for these links. I think I should read quite some of your Emacs/DWIM related postings. :-)

Regarding the “would love to hear of others”: In Debian there are also the packages
unp,zutilsandpatool:-
unp is what I actually use as “DWIM unzip” command, because
unzipis heavily tied to this annoying ZIP format used on Windows all the time. ;-) -
And then there’s also zutils which replaces
zcat,zgrepand friends which generic wrappers which also supportbzip2,xz,lzmaand other compression formats. The cool thing here is that this way you canzgrepthrough files with different compression formats in one go. And you never have to think anymore about if that one command is namedbz2grep,bzgrep2or justbzgrep. :-) -
Another one I’m aware of, but never really used it, is patool.
EDIT: When looking through my shell aliases, I noticed that I was actually using
patoolquite often, becauseatooloffersadiffbut not anagrep. So I built it viaalias agrep='patool search'. But I’m only using this for multi-file archive formats. Because for just compressed single file archives, there’s thezgrepfromzutilswhich I use way more often.
Oh, and I of course also use
atool, but mostly only one of its commands, namelyals.HTH
-
Thanks for these. They look great. I’ll add them to the post also. All new to me.

Didn’t know about zutils, but big fan of the approach. ripgrep-all does a great job here. Their readme shows how diverse the set can be:
demo/ ├── greeting.mkv ├── hello.odt ├── hello.sqlite3 └── somearchive.zip ├── dir │ ├── greeting.docx │ └── inner.tar.gz │ └── greeting.pdf └── greeting.epub -

The
aunpackalias is very easy to remember already. -
-
I use
bsdtarfor this on Arch Linux. It’s the libarchive backedtarimplementation from FreeBSD. It handles all formats you usually encounter. I have it aliased totarfor muscle memory reasons. -
-
There’s the great atool wrapper out there to extract all kinds of archives (would love to hear of others)
https://github.com/mholt/archiver is an alternative, written in pure Go so a self-contained binary
-
-
-
The thing to say about
atoolis that it includes theaunpackcommand which fits the article’s description, is prevalent and is muscle memory safe: It recognizes file formats and it defuses archive bombs (creates a directory named after the archive if the archive lacks a toplevel directory).-
That’s not what my understanding of a zip bomb is, I always assumed it referred to archives which produce unreasonably massive output. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb
-
I think it depends on where you come from what the prevalent problem is. I’m more used to “archive bomb” meaning “tar bomb”. It is unfortunate that an insignificant file format difference means so different things:

Neat trick!
There seem to be some terrible aliasing in the GIFs on my screen. I’d recommend using one of those terminal stream recorders instead, resulting in animated SVGs.

glad I’m not the only iOS dev using emacs!

High-five! There’s three of us now ;) I’d love more iOS/emacs tips! Do share. I try to document mine at https://xenodium.com

Hi, it looks like you’re posting a lot of stories authored by yourself. It’s great that you want to share your writing and projects with the community, but sharing only or mostly that comes across as self-promotion. As a rule of thumb, I think at least half of a user’s submissions should be authored by other people. Please try to find more things to share besides your own work before posting more self-authored links.
Ah yes. The content is often either howto posts or open source packages I have worked on, since I have knowledge in the space. I’m happy to mix it up more if needed.
It’s really about contributing to other kinds of conversations outside of only those you’ve posted. And/or sharing interesting things that you did not create yourself.
