[emacs-berlin] Emacs meetup tomorrow Tuesday 19h at c-base!

[jman]

Hello! I wanted to shortly report on Tuesday's offline session, it was great fun and I encourage 
more people to join!

What we accomplished:
- learned a few new tricks! When reading the online help (`C-h`) and jumping thorough links, the 
  keys [l]eft and [r]ight allow going back and forth
- A minor thing: discovered that in magit when pushing to a new remote (which command was that?) it 
  picks directly a git URL from the clipboard. Nice. @Til, do you remember exactly the command? 
  These sorts of small DWIM automations are incredibly useful in the right place. For example I 
  copied from this blog post[0] how to automatically grab from the clipboard a link when creating a 
  link in org-mode with `C-l`
- Til and I paired on a small patch for me (a link "cleaner" when clickling a link from mu4e). It 
  was relatively easy but I'm still undecided on how to invoke this function when I click a link. At 
  first I thought to hook an "add-advice :before" to `shr-browse-url` but add-advice are a bit 
  frowned upon. So we decided to add  keybinding on the RET key (in mu4e RET calls shr-browse-url 
  when the cursor in on a link). However binding the RET key is tricky, I need to identify the exact 
  view-only mode of mu4e to attach this keybinding. Need to think about it.
- We paired on a small patch to the rpsec-mode (https://github.com/pezra/rspec-mode) making it so, 
  that in the buffer with logs of Ruby compiler, links to local paths (/home/user/dir/subdir) are 
  clickable to that they can be quickly opened. Took a lot of time to figure out where to put the 
  finger!

@Til I am impressed by your proficiency with Emacs :D thank you so much for pairing with me!

See you next time
