Does anyone have a workflow for quickly adding todos to org mode from a web-mail interface like gmail or proton?
I'd love to just be able to forward a message to a specific email address or apply a tag to have a todo item automatically added to my org agenda. Does anyone have a workflow or toolkit set up that does this?

emacs on android
I just installed emacs for Android from the fdroid store. I do not see a way for me to grant storage access to my local device. Without that permission, I don't see how I can edit files, particularly org files, on my local device
I will put a screenshot of my apps permissions in a comment.

adding MELPA package archive
emacs noob here.
I'm rewriting my init.el file from scratch using use-package macro. In my existing init file I use require to configure MELPA package archive. (require 'package)(add-to-list 'package-archives '("MELPA" . "`http://melpa.org/packages/`"))(package-initialize)
Can I rewrite this using use-package macro?

How to modify the default folder shown by org-attach
hi fellow r/emacs ers,
I use org-attach a lot in my notes.
And I also have a default temp folder on my disk where everything I collect lands in (created automatically by emacs at startup, using the date as variable for its name).
When I try to attach a file using org-attach, the default folder shown is the root of my note folder, it varies according to the notes.
What can I do to have my default temp directory (created using '(make-directory mydailytempdir)' ) to be the first goal shown when opening an 'org-attach' process looking for new attachments?
I tried to look into the elisp file 'org-attach.el', but my elisp-fu is not good enough...
I guess using embark could help, but it would add many keypresses... I'd like to avoid it.
is there a way to have a selection of path to choose from when opening org-attach (that could be defined in the init.el)??
thanks for your time and replies

How do I speed up output from an async-shell-command or start-process?
I tried the async-shell-command and start-process functions to get the output from the very verbose app. Logs still arrive even 2-3 minutes after the process has ended. Is there any way to speed buffer up?

@r_emacs
put these, and when should they be evaluated? I think that just referring to a function symbol doesn't trigger autoloading, so I believe these configurations should happen after project.el is loaded, and that it doesn't matter if magit is loaded or not yet.
Since, project.el is built-in to Emacs, it's probably most reasonable to do that config in the magit use-package form, but what if project.el were another third-party package that had its own use-package form? Would we add the config in the project use-package form, or in the magit use-package form? Or, we could do something clever/hacky,
(use-package emacs
:after project
:requires magit
:config
(define-key project-prefix-map "m" #'magit-project-status)
(add-to-list 'project-switch-commands '(magit-project-status "Magit") t))
But, if we do this a lot, then it feels like our init.el is getting just as disorganized as it was before use-package.
## Conclusion
This is too rambly already. I think the point is that I'm becoming less convinced that installing/updating packages, loading them, and configuring them at the same time is the right way to think about it.
Obviously, if you know what you're doing, you can use use-package to great success. But, I think my contention is that I've been familiar with Emacs for a long time, I'm a professional software developer, and I still make mistakes when editing my init file. Either I'm a little dim or the tooling here is hard to use correctly.
Am I the only one?

Better cua-mode
Hi,
I was thinking how we can solve the ctrl+c "problem", I found that the ctrl+c with cua-mode is working as copy when a region is selected and it is working az prefix when there is no region selected.
I would like to ask that is possible to change the ctrl+c in the "c" codebase easily or I don't know where ?
It can be a patch and create a custom build to myself ...
Or I just live with it and there is no way to put this "user prefix" to an other key combination ?
thanks for the answers!

Point jumps to start of buffer after save when there are changes to save
Still on Emacs 27.1. I'm sure this behaviour is recent and has not always been the case. At startup my after-save-hook is nil. When I first open an org file this changes to (rmail-after-save-hook) despite not using rmail. This is normal though based on this answer from Eli. In other org buffers the (buffer local) value is (diff-hl-update t) whether under version control or not as global-diff-mode is enabled. For python files the (buffer local) value is (diff-hl-update t ws-butler-after-save) as ws-butler-mode is enabled in the prog-mode-hook. What am I missing that could cause this behaviour? It is occurring irrespective of the buffer and only if there are changes to be saved.

I looking to migrate to emacs (running under WSL) for note taking. Currently I am using notepad++ as it lets me have multiple scratch buffers that will persist.

Does anyone else feel like use-package might be the wrong abstraction, or do I just not get it?
Context:
I've used Emacs off and on for many years at this point. Throughout that time there have been periods where I really leaned in to it and tried to use it for everything, and there have been periods where I only used it for org and/or magit, etc. I've learned lots of things about it and I've forgotten lots of things about it, but I've never been what I would call an "expert" or even a "power user". So, when I feel like something isn't working well in Emacs, I almost always default to the assumption that I'm doing something wrong or misunderstanding something, etc.
So, it very well may be that I'm wrong/crazy in my recent conclusion that use-package might not be the ideal abstraction for managing Emacs packages.
With that out of the way, I'll say that when I first saw use-package, I thought it was amazing. But, in the years that I've been using use-package, I never feel like my init file is "right". Now, I'm starting to think that maybe it's use-package that's wrong and not me (insert Simpsons principal Skinner meme).
I don't know how best to articulate what I mean by use-package being a "wrong abstraction", but I'll try by listing some examples and thoughts.
## Autoloads
First of all, I feel like the way autoloads are handled with use-package is too mistake-prone. Libraries/packages typically define their own autoloads, but the use-package default is to eagerly load the package. I understand that installing a library via package.el, etc will process the autoloads for us and that manually/locally installed packages get no such benefit.
But, if we're using use-package to also manage installing the packages for us (:ensure t), then why shouldn't it know about the autoloads already and automagically imply a :defer t by default?
So, by default, we have to remember to either add :defer t or we have to remember that setting our own hooks, bindings, or commands will create autoloads for us.
I know that you can configure use-package to behave as though :defer t is set by default, but that's just broken for packages that don't have any autoloads.
It feels like maybe use-package is doing too many things. Maybe it was actually more correct in the old days to separate the installation, configuration, and actual loading of packages, rather than trying to do all three in one API.
## Configuration that depends on multiple packages is ugly/inconsistent
Many packages are fairly standalone, so you can just do,
(use-package foo
:defer t
:config
(setq foo-variable t))
and it's clean and beautiful. But, sometimes we have configuration that is across multiple packages. A real-world example for me is magit and project.el. Magit actually provides project.el integration, wherein it adds magit commands to the project-switch-commands and the project-prefix-map. That's great, but it will only run if/when the magit package is loaded.
So, my first guess at using use-package with magit was this,
(use-package magit
:ensure t
:defer t
:config
(setq magit-display-buffer-function #'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1))
which seems reasonable since I know that magit defines its own autoloads. However, I was confused when I'd be using Emacs and the project.el switch choices showed a magit option sometimes.
I eventually realized what was going on and realized that the solution was to immediately load magit,
(use-package magit
:ensure t
:config
(setq magit-display-buffer-function #'magit-display-buffer-same-window-except-diff-v1))
but that kind of sucks because there's no reason to load magit before I actually want to use it for anything. So, what we can do instead is to implement the project.el integration ourselves. It's really just two commands:
(define-key project-prefix-map "m" #'magit-project-status)
(add-to-list 'project-switch-commands '(magit-project-status "Magit") t)
But, the question is: Where do we
Long Document Navigation (bookmarks? folding?)
Good morning,
I recently have become enamored of Typst for document creation. It's fast, it's approachable, it's cross platform, and it's extremely capable even in preview beta. I never really got the swing of LaTeX with all the backslash/curlybrace mayhem.
In any event, I find myself actually working on a long technical document in Typst in Emacs. There does exist typst-ts-mode so thanks tree-sitter and all those people who manage the grammar libraries for it. However I'm finding myself in need of a better way of navigating the huge document to get to sections I want to do.
I looked into the baked-in bookmarks and I could probably use that capability, though I was hoping for more of an customizeable outline mode. Manually setting the bookmarks for an entire document seems tedious. I mainly just want to navigate by headings and that would be sufficient.
What do people use for this sort of thing (possibly in the LaTeX world?) Just bookmarks with some sort of automated way of populating the bookmarks? I did check the typst-ts-mode and while there are some functions there for compiling, there don't seem to be any functions for navigating by semantic structures. Perhaps that's baked into tree-sitter itself?
Anyhow, any help greatly appreciated here.

EMT - Emacs MacOS Tokenizer for enhanced CJK word operations
Hey r/emacs,
I'm excited to share my new package with you that I've been working on - EMT (Emacs MacOS Tokenizer).
EMT leverages macOS's built-in NLP tokenizer by dynamic module to tokenize and handle CJK words in Emacs. It also introduces a minor mode (emt-mode) that remaps functions forward-word, backward-word, mark-word, kill-word, and backward-kill-word to their CJK compatible versions.
