  • And some more, after a few more months of looking at more built-ins in the documentation:

    • calculator - great for most simple desktop calculator needs
    • ps-print--with-faces - creates a postscript printout of the current buffer or region

    Unfortunately, the ps-print--with-faces commands do not preserve the markup features of org-mode, but the structure of the buffer or region is faithfully displayed, save the occasional wrapping of a long line or `?’ in place of an unrecognized character. If you have a printer, this can allegedly even deliver postscript printouts directly to it! It’s not exactly a novel idea; elvis has boasted such a feature for a good while, but it’s nice to see Emacs has it built-in as well!




  • These are excellent! I became an instant user of both the tab-bar and the desktop-save/read functions. Gems indeed. Thank you for sharing! As for lesser known Emacs built-ins I appreciate, here’s a short list that may qualify:

    • remember - a mode for remembering data with as little structure upfront as possible
    • todo - create and manage to-do lists with minimal effort
    • speedbar - calls a new frame for quick navigation in directories and info nodes











  • Not to point out the obvious, but minimizing the tracking, fingerprinting, advertising, etc. would be an incredibly easy way for any website to comply with the GDPR. It’s not my fault your predatory advertising business model was declared illegal and is now placing burdens on you as you try to keep engaging in it.

    Half the time I get served a consent banner with an extensive tracking list, I’ll just exit the site altogether.
