How Emacs Makes my Daily Life Easier!

Emacs being Emacs.

[@bigarm6624]

Amazing, where could i get those skeleton files for LaTex?

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

You can get my configuration file ( skeletons are on the skeletons section of the .org file ) and my LaTeX headers from this repository: github.com/matman26/emacs-config

[@tedx4892]

Your videos are awesome, from Void set up to Emacs usage. Please do more of these topics when you are available!

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

I'm glad you liked it! I'll keep them coming!

[@danv8718]

Fantastic video! Looking forward to more like this.

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

More to come!

[@rkrajhan0]

Hi mat, subscribed, love your emacs video, like to see more emacs videos..

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

Thanks for the sub, a lot more Emacs videos to come!

[@FelipeBalbi]

You can use M-x auto-revert-mode on the PDF to make it update as soon as you compile it :-)

[@minhajsixbyte]

vim user here. but i was thinking about using emacs for some of the tasks. excellent video bro, keep them coming. you make good videos, you got a long lasting subscriber just now. ;)

[@minhajsixbyte]

evil mode of course xD

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

In my opinion evil-mode emacs is the best of both worlds ( power and functionality of emacs, speed and efficiency of vim ) without installing a separate emacs distribution filled with stuff you don't necessarily need, such as spacemacs or doomemacs.

[@minhajsixbyte]

@@MatheusAugustoDaSilva yeah!

Hi Matheus: thanks for this. First video I've watched on your channel and I can already tell that you've got lots of good things to share. I've been flip flopping between different markup languages and I can't seem to find one that hits the spot. Markdown is almost too simple, LaTeX can seem complex. Just wondering: have you used Asciidoc/Asciidoctor before? Video request!

[@MatheusAugustoDaSilva]

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying the content! As for asciidoc, I haven't used it, but I'm taking a look at the documentation right now and it does seem like an interesting video subject, thanks for letting me know!

You should try out Org-mode. It isn't Markdown, which is a simpler form then Org-mode. I would think that Org-mode should be good enough. Combine it with Babel, and you can run code that generate graphs, if you want. You can also, as done here, sprinkle in \TeX{} code into the Org-mode code, which then will be exported to the format you want to use. So even if you export to HTML or LibreOffice the \TeX{} code will be correct. As I wrote, some places (at least on Chemistry institution) let their PhD students write their PhD papers in Org-mode. So yes, I think it is good enough for undergraduate students. :-)

[@GiorgioCamozzi]

Hey! Great video! I tried this workflow out and it works flawlessly... Do you have any tips on using screenshots in the document? I tried org-screenshot but it only exports a placeholder and a path in the document...

[@AndersJackson]

When I was student, we was a couple of students that wrote the notes. So one wrote the notes and the other could follow the lecture better. Then we shared the notes. We even offered the notes to the teacher if they wanted. Thanks for this \LaTeX{} code, as I have not had time to look into this. There are actually some places where they PhD students write their paper in Org-mode and Babel.

[@oguzsur6895]

I really don't see why using regular applications is not better than using emacs. It just looks like too much work and keystrikes (nevermind the time putnin learning them) that could be done with simple mouse clicks on a modern gui, what the hell am I missing here?

[@fernandomota7193]

Take vscode for example, which is a freaking bloat, for people with low specs PC like 4GB of RAM it's a hassle to use it along google chrome for example, so terminal based text editors like emacs or vim are quite useful.

[@gern0tk]

What’s a regular application for producing LaTeX documents? You can’t write technical documentation very well using word or libre office. You got no version control and math formulae are always a hassle.

MFW gross violation of Unix philosophy

[@gern0tk]

The „unix philosophy“ is about problem solving: Tearing down a large task into lots of different smaller ones which can be solved with a library of little specialized programs feeding their intermediate results into the next one. This is exactly how Emacs and its diverse set of available modules work together to turn it from a mere text editor into an integrated work environment for every task you can imagine. In contrast to Unix the integrating environment is not the shell but the text editor.

[@nekoill]

@@gern0tk relax, I was just joking. I don't hate Emacs, and I use systemd :)
