Emacs journal
Updated: 2024-07-14 - updated with some of my favorite shortcuts.
This page has some of the stuff while I am learning and tinkering with Emacs. What is Emacs? It's not just a text editor, or a programming tool, but it can be many things. You can browse the web, play games, listen to music, read news, etc with it. It's so extensible that it has it's own window manager.
Tutorials (external)
- Embedding Youtube videos with org-mode links - this is how I embed youtube videos on this site.
- "Using Emacs" video series by Mike Zamansky, probably the best one you can learn from. He is a very good teacher!
- Create beautiful websites with Emacs org-mode - Distrotube's video about Emacs Org export stuff.
Basics
- Updating Emacs packages - such a simple way to upgrade your installed packages.
- Emacs useful shortcuts - these are my favorite shortcuts.
Org-mode
- Emacs org-mode: Export underscore problem - if you want to export org files, you probably run into this problem with the underscore character.
Tweaks
- Change Emacs theme on the fly
- Change Emacs theme depending on time - if you want to change to dark theme for evening/night, this is it
- Emacs markdown editing live preview with flymd
- Emacs transparency

Some stuff you can do with Emacs, but from outside of Emacs.
