I found my answer, I needed to be using page up and page down keys to “scroll” through the claude history - which is apparently required due to Claude capturing my C-v and M-v’s in its “text-box”.

Thanks, I would, and I’ve used it on my personal machines (it works great), but I’m trying to stick to the apt package repos on my $WORK machine.

Ubuntu has a fair number of elpa packages in its repos, so I’m trying to make it work if possible. Not sure if I’m missing anything config wise within the confines of vterm

I’m trying to use a similar workflow, but when I attempt to use Claude code in vterm, I have issues.

My use case is resuming a session and not being able to scroll back to the past history. Otherwise if I start a new session, it works fine.

It’s probably related to me being on an old version of vterm, but I’m just wondering if you ever have come across this.

Maybe the future of anti-phishing training will be random confirmations in the middle of agentic coding session

I’m surprised there was so much opposition to adding this.

Such is the lifecycle of a conversation in the emacs development mailing list I suppose.

Pressing “X” with your point at the file should essentially do this, no? Well, at least give you the option to open said file in an external program. Otherwise, yes, pressing “RET” will assume you want to open it in emacs, I think that is sane. But like BeetleB says, I have no issue opening an image in emacs (unless I’m on windows)

That said, lack of sane defaults elsewhere is indeed a bit frustrating, (see: littering backup and auto save files everywhere. It would be much nicer to throw it in a ‘temp’ directory within .emacs.d or similar)

There is a decent solution for this, you essentially define your own minor mode with key bindings you want to take precedence. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but seems useful in theory https://youtu.be/D99GB591Vgo

Does the average person know that a physical book they bought can deteriorate with age, and pages can tear or fall out as well? But as long as they have that book in their possession, it belongs to them, and they can read it, lend it to someone else, to their heart’s content. How are discs any different? Surely a physical book is not “permanent” but it certainly has its own merit, as compared to a DRM ridden copy of a book from Amazon. Also, some people just enjoy collecting physical media.

I’m curious as to why - is it a matter of stability/feature completeness in 30.2 that you don’t need or want to bother with new releases? Or that you don’t like the direction of the project past that point?

Wow, auto install treesitter grammars, editable xref, transposing window layouts, speed bar as a side window in frame, I had no idea any of these things were coming and were all some passing thoughts I’ve had in the last few weeks “it would be cool if this was supported OOTB”. Some dreams do come true!

They probably mean ‘C-x C-Q’, which toggles a buffer with its read-only state. In this case it lets you edit the contents of the dired buffer (i.e directory or file names) to changing the buffer to wdired-mode, and then ‘C-x C-s’ to save the contents of the buffer, which changes the names and places the buffer back into read-only (dired-mode)

Indeed. I only noticed when trying to pull up Ubuntu docs and getting a 503

ubuntu.com is down

Wow, thank you, that’ll work perfectly! Of course bug reference mode is built-in, I had no clue (I need to stop being surprised by emacs’ built-in functionalities)

Regarding the jira link example, are you using hyperbole buttons for this, or some other way? I’d like to do it without using hyperbole, it’s a nice package and all but the ‘buttons’ are the only (of the many) feature(s) I would use from it

This sounds interesting, how are you getting python docs in the `texinfo` format? I’ve used zeal a fair amount or *.read the docs.io, but always looking for local alternatives. A quick search online didn’t have much info

Another day, another great Emacs package I’ve just learned about. This one’s going in the init.el for sure!

Are you kidding me? This is awesome! I imagine I can try it on my modded 2DS using the DSi emulator

I’ll have to see if this can work with a multi band 6 gshock, I assume it’s similar to a standard atomic clock?
