TIL: Emacs Repeat Maps

I learned about Emacs’ repeat-mode from the dape docs. It’s explained effectively in this blog post by Karthinks. It turns out repeat-mode has recently been added to Emacs core — I’m using 30.0.91, which has a bunch of my favourite recent packages included. It’s a very convenient package. I’m using it with dape, smerge, and flymake, and it really helps cut down on repeated modifiers.

Emacs Lisp in Haskell

Since first migrating from OSX to Linux, I have been a user of the dwm tiling window manager. It is great software, my thanks to the authors. Lately, however, I’ve had an itch to change things up. I’ve been spending some time learning Haskell, so Xmonad is an obvious choice.
