Weekly Tips, Tricks, &c. Thread

This is a thread for smaller, miscellaneous items that might not warrant a full post on their own. [See this search for previous "Weekly Tips, Tricks, &c." Threads.](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/search?q=Weekly+tips&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all) Don't feel constrained in regards to what you post, just keep your post vaguely, generally on the topic of emacs.

Org mode - insert a complete set of export options: `org-export-insert-default-template` This inserts all export keywords with default values at beginning of line. This command is not documented in `info emacs` (v27.1).

This prepares to make notifications and appointments out of all my org agenda items today. It clears out all appointments first so it is idempotent. (defun tsa/org-clear-appts () (interactive) (let ((appt-count (if (boundp 'appt-time-msg-list) (length appt-time-msg-list) 0))) (setq appt-time-msg-list nil) (message (format "Cleared %d events" appt-count)))) (defun tsa/org-appts (arg) (interactive "P") (cond ((equal arg '(4)) (progn (tsa/org-clear-appts) (message "Appointments cleared"))) (t (progn (tsa/org-clear-appts) (org-agenda-to-appt)))))

Question: Is there a way to get the name of the function while inside of it? (defun my/a-to-b () (message "Function name is %s" (some-magic)) ) "Function name is my/a-to-b"

This works: (defun my/a-to-b () (message "Function name is %s" (cdr (backtrace-frame 3)))) (my/a-to-b) ;; "Function name is (my/a-to-b)" But it's kinda hacky as `backtrace-frame` literally deals with scope: (defun my/c-to-d () (cdr (backtrace-frame 2))) (my/c-to-d) ;; (my/c-to-d)

~~Thanks for the answer but this is so much hacky that it's actually bad (sound like d* but the solution is bad not your helpfulness). What I want is something like `(which-function)` but not for the cursor, instead for the current function.~~ Actually it's good enough. But if somebody comes to another function or method I will be happy too.

Modus themes can take a heading size when you specify your customizable modus-themes-headings. Having the size change with the headings causes major performance issues if you are a heavy org-mode user, for instance with consult-org-headings on large org files. Plus, I don't like the way they look 😼 Here is the :custom section of my use-package that removed the sized integers at the end of the definitions: (modus-themes-headings ;; '((1 . (rainbow overline background 1.4)) ;; (2 . (rainbow background 1.3)) ;; (3 . (rainbow bold 1.2)) ;; (t . (rainbow-line))) ;; disabled because I don't love them changing sizes '((1 . (rainbow overline background)) (2 . (rainbow background)) (3 . (rainbow bold)) (t . (rainbow-line))) )

I wish the background extended past the newline and stayed that way when folded. 😿

I think what you are looking for is the variable `this-command`. Something like `(message "Function name is %s" this-command)` at the beginning of the defun will give to the current func name. ​ EDIT: There is also \`last-command\`.

Holy... Thank you so much!
