so... I've added screenshots and fixed up the primary Emacs themes i kinda made a while back. it's on both the blog and my sourcehut. They're all colourless themes so there is no syntax highlighting whatsoever. Screenshots in the replies below!

Do you leave a blank line before a heading in your org-mode files?

In other words, do you do this (do not leave the blank line)

* H1
Content
** H2
Content

or this (leave the blank line)

* H1
Content

** H2
Content

?

For people who take notes with Org-mode but don't use Org-Roam, Denote, etc to manage them: How do you organize your notes, especially reading notes ?

Irreal’s initial thoughts on Journelly: “As for Journelly itself, I like it. A lot.”

https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12894

can a hook remove itself?

Is there a better way to do it? (I want music to start sometimes when I clock into a task in org with a timer, but I don't want it to happen every time, just when I use my special task clock in thing)

How did I miss indexed?

Ces temps-ci je suis entrain de rassembler tous les docs/feuilles de calcul qui traînent, les trucs de ma vie perso éparpillés, revoir ma façon d'organiser mes idées et tout synthétiser en me refaisant la main sur les génialisimes emacs et orgmode :) (qui est utilisable en version mobile ! :)

C'est looong mais ça me permet de remettre petit à petit les idées au clair. Et quand le fond sera suffisant, il y aura sûrement des publications, en lien avec mes posts épinglés, sur mon site qui n'existe pas encore. Allez, rendez-vous dans 10ans) (j'espère plus tôt quand même ;)

New blog post #Journelly vs #emacs: Why Not Both?

There are a couple of features of #orgmode links in #Emacs that I think are underappreciated:

1. They work in all buffers, not just org-mode buffers! Bind org-open-at-point-global to a globally accessible key binding and enjoy org-links everywhere. For example, I like putting info links in comments in Emacs Lisp files, like info:calc#Graphics. Remember too, that file links can include a search string, for example file:~/.emacs.d/init.el::eshell takes me right to my eshell configuration. Shell links, that execute commands, are pretty useful too, for example <shell:zip source *.c *.h>.

2. It's super easy to create new link types (if you know how to program). For example, here's a new type of link for keyboard macros:

(org-link-set-parameters "kbd"
:follow (lambda (macro arg)
(kmacro-call-macro arg t nil (kbd macro))))

With that definition you can write keyboard macros like <kbd:M-a M-f M-t> and execute them with org-open-at-point-global.

Now merged into #melpa! My home brew #orgmode solution for creating invoices for clients. It leverages the built in clock table functionality to create a nested list of client->invoice items

A big thank to you, @sacha, for your great blog posts.

With "Org Mode: Cutting the current list item (including nested lists) with a speed command", now I know the speed commands of Org-mode and how to use them on lists.

[Atelier] Mardi 1er avril, à partir de 17h30, se déroule l'Atelier Emacs francophone !
C'est : en visio +sans inscription +juste en cliquant +tous niveaux (débutant à expert) +tous sujets #Emacs (général à pointu). Détails à https://emacs-doctor.com #atelieremacs #ateliersemacs
Donc : #orgmode, #Denote, shell, LISP, BibLaTeX, litterate programing, balisage (Markdown, groff, Wiki, HTML,...), Dired, courriel, GIT,...entre autres !
Le tout à base du #format texte, dans son éditeur&OS (ou l'inverse).

Are there good recommendations how to use #orgmode to work together with multiple people?
Our Team uses git, nextcloud and overleaf (but not a lot of org so far).

Just discover that, in Org-mode, if you create a link to an non-existant org-mode file and open it, it would be open in a new window and created on save.

The target need to be a path, relative or absolute. And if the file is next to your actual one, you still need to start your targed with "./".

For example:
./another-file.org
