Bad Emacs Defaults

• ws-butler

  6 237 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Unobtrusively trim extraneous white-space *ONLY* in lines edited.

Another option is to use ws-butler[0], which only deletes trailing whitespace on lines you've edited. This way you don't create spurious diffs on version controlled files (future `git blame` users will thank you).

• espanso

  Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

  

Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

• dotfiles

  4 50 8.4 Emacs Lisp

  Yet another dotfile-repository (by skx)

Heh, I recently did a "clean sweep" of my .emacs files (inspired by the new support for `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/config/emacs/init.el` in 27.1) and something like 90% of it was workarounds (some dating back to the late 1990s, for example a "vertical-motion-fix" for something that was fixed in emacs 19.29)

I definitely recommend doing some form of "dotfile bankruptcy" every 20 years or so :-)

(I also ended up doing a crude "load-file-literate" so that now most of my elisp is actually markdown, inspired by https://github.com/skx/dotfiles )
