I know for example that I can draw in css (canvas), maybe it's the closest
thing I know to what svg manipulation through xml can be, from what I read.
My instinct tells me to just draw in inkscape, yet I can imagine its
usefulness in generating graphics from (proportional?) data, or
Pretty much the only people possibly impressed. I wouldn't try that as a
mating ritual, for example (where RSI syndrome would be the equivalent of a
lion's scar or something). Even if the mate is also a nerd.
What about this? https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Inkmacs
It's more for you, I don't really understand SVG editing through text, and
even after reading, I don't really get what Inkmacs (or even XML editing)
does.
Speaking of which: about my LateX comment, it was just a bad assumption about
I learnt it so I could impress fellow nerds.
I personally use Libo (Libreoffice) Draw for PDF editing.
I see there's an Inkscape integration with Emacs in the works. You seem to
need SVG edition for text (LateX), so you probably don't need this much.
In the end, it's all a matter of workflow. I've read about professionals in
different
Just installed this. Thank you!
Oh, nice ! Thanks !
Frankly, I prefer moving around with the modal way. I'm a touch typist though
(not a good one, but still).
I don't like holding modifiers. Actually, I still don't understand all the
differences between a Windows vs a GNU/Linux one. The Caps Lock doesn't work
with numbers unless configured

Yes, I have that enabled! I actually maintain a repository of
politics-related quotes for fortune, so I specifically show those.
I saw that but unfortunately it does not let you add custom fortunes.
I agree with everything you said. Still, it does not explain why vi is
installed by default and Emacs is not?
Thanks bunches! I miss that from when I was running Slackware 11. I had no
idea how easy it was to do that. :)
Bumbling idiots love the command line too.

If you are going to have only one console-based editor it should be Emacs.
The first thing I do after installing Trisquel is download and install Emacs.
Why is it not installed by default on Trisquel?
As long as Emacs is not installed by default, you need to also know nano

You can also install emacs-nox which gets rid of the GUI Emacs. Then the
command emacs just starts in the terminal (or actual CLI).
I'm willing to try Emacs for some time now.
I totally like the idea of "one way to do everything".
There's even the evil mode to get vim keybindings, provided it's used along

Pdf-page-grep is great for searching large PDFs. It can output a PDF that
contains only pages that match the user's search definition. Magic Bananna
made it:

One silly thing that often makes me laugh is having "fortune -s" (for short
adages) in my .bashrc, which means that every time I pop open a terminal
window I'm greeted by a fresh fortune. :)
cmus & sox for music
ranger for file-management (sometimes)
mpsyt for YouTube
mutt for e-mail
ii for IRC
vi(m) for text editing
aspell + latex for getting documents looking nice

If I'm working without a GUI at all, then screen is an absolute necessity.
After screen comes:
Emacs for an editor
Alpine for mail
ELinks for web browsing
Something like ogg123 for music -- I'm not sure, since I haven't played music
from the command line for some time now. Also, some time

For things like Git and CVS.
I'm still trying to figure out which ones I like the most, and whether I like
CLI or GUI better.
But sticking with CLI programs, I really like Ranger. I still have Thunar on
the side because I didn't learn the commands to create, copy, paste stuff
without destroying everything. But
Trying to use GUI programs whenever possible is perfectly reasonable.
It has been an off-and-on project of mine over the years to develop a large
enough repertoire of CLI programs so I could in theory go without X Windows.
Obviously, for things like presentation software, or pictures, or
I don't know about my favorite, but based on .bash_history here are what I
use most:
Various scheme implementations (scripting, calculator)
emacs (text editing)
git (version control)
xelatex (latex processor)
ssh (remote shell)
apt (package management)
Other cool programs:

I mostly use graphical programs, and when I do use a command-line program,
it's usually only because there's not a graphical equivalent. The one
exception is Nano, my preferred command-line text editor; I prefer to use
Nano for entering commit messages.

I've been intending to try ratpoison this weekend. One concern I had was
regarding the browser. Of course I could use lynx, but a browser is one of
the most important GUI programs I use. I might as well not even run X
Windows!
So now that you mention Conkeror, I am excited to try it all
I do not use the command line, rather, I use Ratpoison. It is a tiling window
manager that does as little with X as is possible. It has specific
key-bindings designed not to conflict with Emacs. This basically feels like
running the X Window System from the command line rather than the
