Emacs

use mouse in Emacs 2012-05-18 Fri

Emacs was born before mouse, so most Emacsers use keyboards 'only' and beleive it is faster! However, it is not true, espically for some taskes, and there was long discussion about Keyboard vs. The Mouse.

In fact, today mouse in Emacs is also powerful as (or than) other editors, for example:

double click and then drag to select words instead of characters
3-clicks and then drag to select lines instead of characters
right click to select text between current cursor and right click point
Ctr-right click shows mode menu
Ctr-left click shows buffers menu (not really useful)
Shift-left chose font (not really useful)

org-protocol: capture from firefox

register org-protocol in firefox

In ubuntu 12.04 / Gnome 3, I can not register protocol by methods given in org-protocol.el. Instead, I edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, my hope was add x-scheme-handler/org-protocol=org-protocol.desktop there, and org-protocol.desktop just starts emacsclient. There when I click the link in firefox, the application pops up (with org-protocol), but when I chose it – nothing happens. however I can choose another applicaiton, so I choose emacsclient in the system path, and it works!

ONEDAY even cooler functionality in Defining custom handlers for use with org-protocol
