In the recent weeks I've been engaging Prot as an Emacs coach to help
with doing review passes over my upcoming ffs package as I work on
polishing and documenting it in preparation for offering it for
inclusion in GNU ELPA.
UPDATE 2026-05-15 08:50:10 -0400: Prot also published an article about our session on his website: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2026-05-15-emacs-amin-bandali-ffs-display-buffer-org-capture/
Today we had our third session where we started by reviewing and
talking about my recent changes to ffs, then ventured to other
Emacs-related topics with the overarching theme of the flexibility
and extensibility of GNU Emacs, including display-buffer-alist,
keyboard macros, defining a custom ox-bhtml Org export backend
derived from Org's ox-html for ultimate flexibility when exporting
my site's pages from Org to HTML, Org capture, plain text files and
Emacs's diary and how it compares to org-agenda, and keeping a
journal with the help of Emacs.
Here is the video recording of our session, which I share with Prot's permission:
You can view or download the full-resolution video from the Internet Archive.
Lastly, here is the snippet Prot shared for having Isearch treat space as a wildcard, helpful for more easily matching multiple parts of a line:
Accedi(setq search-whitespace-regexp ".*?")
(setq isearch-lax-whitespace t)
(setq isearch-regexp-lax-whitespace nil)
Take care, and so long for now.
