Hello,
I jumped in the Org / DooM bandwagon in 2020.
I've been using emacs on my phone and tablet (termux), and laptop (*nix), predominantly for GTD stuff. It works for me because it's keyboard based, and on all my devices.
I see the weekly tip thread in this sub, but most of them are way more advanced than the level I'm at.
Had anyone got any noob friendly tips about general emacs capabilities to explore?
My current workflow / level is:
- Open org files from bookmark (dired)
- Edit and save org file
- if there are conflicts (damn you syncthing), resolve with ediff
- if anything goes "weird" kill buffer / delete window until back to the fallback buffer - then try again.
I had some luck early on with tasker and bash scripts to manipulate org files based on various conditions - but I've long forgotten how all that works.
Similarly, I tried to get notmuch mail setup two years ago, but ran into trouble with gmail and exchabge authentication
Would love to hear your suggestions for my emacs journey.
I've also asked if there are any org-specific things I can try on the org-mode sub
