New package: boxy-info reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tjgrinn · 2022-06-08 12:44 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tjgrinn · 2022-06-08 12:44 In addition to the existing boxy family: * [org-real](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/org-real) * [boxy-headings](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-headings) * [boxy-imenu](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-imenu) Now, [boxy-info](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-info) allows you to view the current info manual as a boxy diagram.I was slightly dissapointed that imenu (and thus boxy-imenu) doesn't work on info manuals. So I built this package specifically to handle building a lisp tree that can be iterated over for creating a boxy box. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ndamee · 2022-06-08 15:52 Don't know how useful it is, but looks interesting . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Winter_Surround7617 · 2022-06-08 18:22 Can the same be done with org files, or headings in an org file? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- doolio_ · 2022-06-08 18:25 u/rswgnu may be interested in this for Hyperbole and its buttons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Randomneos · 2022-06-08 18:31 it feels alien in emacs. What point in using emacs and going into such gui? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilemming · 2022-06-08 18:39 This would be very cool to integrate with Org-Roam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tjgrinn · 2022-06-08 18:40 You sure can. boxy-headings (on ELPA) is probably your best bet for navigating org files, but boxy-imenu will work as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bodertz · 2022-06-08 19:33 Does this feature somehow take away from the reasons to use emacs? I don't see how. If someone who uses emacs thinks this could be useful for them, why shouldn't they use it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Randomneos · 2022-06-08 19:38 You could destroy emacs whatever way you like) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bodertz · 2022-06-08 19:48 I'm asking how it destroys emacs. I don't see how it does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kisharrington · 2022-06-09 02:07 This could be a nice way to deliver a text view for https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-ui ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sreekumar_r · 2022-06-09 03:23 Thanks. I have to start using org-real as it looks like a kind of mind maps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Randomneos · 2022-06-09 06:10 Sheesh, man should I add "[sarcasm]" to every message? It's always cool to have some different tweaks for each user ---------------------------------------------------------------------- deaddyfreddy · 2022-06-09 10:10 looks fancy, but I don't think it's as ergonomic as ivy/helm. O(n) as its best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tjgrinn · 2022-06-09 15:42 That's an interesting thought, I'm going to look into it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kisharrington · 2022-06-09 15:43 Please update here or at least me about how that goes (or if it looks like it would take too much time). I would be very interested to hear about it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bodertz · 2022-06-09 18:51 I understand (and understood) you don't believe it actually destroys Emacs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nowislewis · 2022-06-19 16:14 Great packages, thank you for your excellent work. I really like the boxy packages, they help me a lot!
