emacs lisp

i have an insert-date function that i bind to M-i, i found it somewhere on the web

(defun insert-date ()
  "Insert date at the current cursor position in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (insert  
   (format-time-string "# %b%d%y %H:%M%n")
   ))

format-time-string has a ton of options, but a three-letter month that is lower-case does not appear to be one yet.

to do this, i wrapped the existing format-time-string function with the downcase function in emacs lisp

(defun insert-date ()
  "Insert date at the current cursor position in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (insert  
   (downcase (format-time-string "# %b%d%y %H:%M%n"))
   ))

this is one of the real benefits to having a system that is written in a language that you can use

even better though would be if emacs had an API and i could use whatever language i wanted to control it

same thing with pymol

ubuntu alacritty copy paste with keyboard

Okay, so how to paste text in the Linux Terminal?

Due to the above-discussed issue, the modern Terminal developers applied Ctrl + Shift + V for paste. Similarly Ctrl + Shift + C for copy function. Alternatively, you can right-click and select paste from the menu for pasting the copied command-line.
