Emacs

Installation

For Arch Linux I use following:

1

./configure -C --prefix=$HOME/.local/opt/emacs-29 --with-json --with-xwidgets --with-mailutils --with-tree-sitter --with-native-compilation --with-imagemagick --with-gif --with-jpeg --with-png --with-xml2 --with-tiff --with-libsystemd --with-modules

And afterwards:

1

make -j 4 install

Append text to registers

When you are collecting text using append-to-register and prepend-to-register, you may want to separate individual collected pieces using a separator. In that case, configure a register-separator and store the separator text in to that register. For example, to get double newlines as text separator during the collection process, you can use the following setting.

2

(setq register-separator ?+)
(set-register register-separator "\n\n")
