Wow.. I would _really_ wish somebody would have shown me this when I was taking my masters. Everybody in my class was messing around with notes in office word and notes in pdfs. Everything was all over the place. I can't understand why nobody is teaching young people how to use emacs.
@@rdangdev ye, I have, but I'm having a hard time setting vim up in the same way as in this video. I'm close, but emacs just seems better. Maybe I'm missing something :)
This is so cool! I'm just now trying to get into Emacs and so I'm not entirely convinced about the usefulness of some things yet. So far, Org mode just seemed like a file format with capabilities to fold sections. Folding alone doesn't seem to warrant the love that many have for Org mode. So I've been a bit sceptic about Org mode. But this video really took Org mode to another level of usefulness for me. I'm writing a thesis right now and the workflow shown in this video is soooo much better than my current workflow. Thank you for showing us mere mortals how to improve our lifes with Emacs!
Great - thanks Mike! I travel a lot, and want to reduce the amount of paper I need to carry - this approach is applicable to annotating and keeping documents ordered with notes to support this. My only problem at the moment - no Emacs on my work laptop, so I am carrying two laptops!!
Nice demonstration! Have a question though. is it possible somehow while viewing the pdf, to "copy" the current location id and put it back in emacs? My ideal workflow would be take notes for a pdf in org-mode (eg don't do annotations) and inside org-mode have for example "solution given [[link for position in the pdf document][here]"
This is wild. I’m starting to get into text editors. I’m practicing with vim atm but uh, after seeing this... Such an amazing workflow. I might quit vim and go with emacs instead.
I use this too! The only limitation is that when you select an annotation in the annotation list, it doesn't take you to the corresponding page in the PDF.
I'm currently looking for a solution to export pdf-tools annotations to org-files. This workflow is definitely the next best thing. Gonna give it a try if I can't find what I'm looking for
Thanks for your great videos about emacs and org. I was wondering if you've tried org-noter. I haven't but it looks like similar to what we're doing here.
similar but on the one hand I didn't know about org-noter at the time and on the other hand not quite the same - It looks more for long term notations while my needs were ephemeral. Looks like I won't be able to try org-noter for this in the future though as Hunter's changed the way I access student application info.
Mind blown! Excellent video! I just discovered your channel and subscribed today because I'm interested in learning emacs/org-mode. I'd love to get away from using Evernote and various ToDo & project management apps that store everything in a proprietary format. There's just something nerdy & cool about the though of managing everything in plain text. :) So after playing around with emacs for about an hour going through the basic tutorial, I"m wondering if the extremely steep learning curve is REALLY worth it. LOL
Hello there, nice video, i would like know how you can open the PDF file in the same window, because in doom emacs the file opens in other buffer. Thanks in advance
I just made it on the fly - that's how I usually do macros - you could figure out the specifics to recreate it via the keys displayed in the video. To be honest without watching the video again I'd have no idea what I did and the next time I do something like this, I'll think a bit about what needs to be done, hit F3, type what I need to type, then F4 and I'll have the macro for that session. I could probably gain a bit of efficiency by saving them but I've never bothered.
OBS (open broadcaster software) obsproject.com/ along with screenkey for the keystrokes on screen. OBS does all the inputs (screen, microphone, camera) and also lets you compose different scenes.
I guess that mens that Adobe's Linux support is much better than back in the day :-). It still wouldn't give me all the org-mode goodness which is where I do most of the ordering and annotating.
switching from vim to emacs, this is the holy fruits I'm seeking.
I wish I knew about this before I spent months paying for adobe, thank you !

Hello Mike, I'm from Portugal and I'm learning emacs with your videos. Thank you so much.
Glad you're finding them useful!!!!
Seems like the perfect way for reading and reviewing papers!
That is such a good way to use refile, that opened my mind.
One of the best of the series yet!
Great - thanks Mike! I travel a lot, and want to reduce the amount of paper I need to carry - this approach is applicable to annotating and keeping documents ordered with notes to support this. My only problem at the moment - no Emacs on my work laptop, so I am carrying two laptops!!
Again learned something new here. thank you and best regards from Germany Mike!
Where was this guy when I was going to Hunter College? Oh, wait, that was in the mid-70s. Never mind.
Nice demonstration!

Thanks. Solves exactly my use case ! Big hand to Mike.
I discovered quite a few things in the video. Thx Mike, you made my day.
thanks
@@mzamansky Mike, how were you able to make your init file endin with .el act like an org-mode file
@@walid7885 see the first video in the series - there's a line in init.el that reads the org file and extracts all the source blocks into the .el file
Awesome! Great workflow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
very interesting video and workflow, what do you use to show in the video the keys you press ?
This is wild. I’m starting to get into text editors. I’m practicing with vim atm but uh, after seeing this...

You can use your vim knowledge inside emacs with evil-mode!
I use this too! The only limitation is that when you select an annotation in the annotation list, it doesn't take you to the corresponding page in the PDF.

What is the where you get a gradient on a line of text when doing a command ?

Living in Emacs for sooo many things now it's just painful when I can't use it.
Good video! 5:40 for anyone who wants to get straight to the PDF tools part ;)
Huzzah! (5:39 might be slightly better, but you are a gift to the world nevertheless! 🤓)
Very useful. Thank you.
Simply Awesome. I also review various documents (PDF) for various teams - I can surely use this!. Thanks Zamansky!
I was blown away when I realized it could work this way - already saved me huge amounts of time.
Hello there, nice video, i would like know how you can open the PDF file in the same window, because in doom emacs the file opens in other buffer.
Thanks in advance
triying to mark text, show me this "unknown render command : : selection-style" any idea wath happen?
Loved this
Awesome video!! Thanks! This helps me a lot!!
Good looking theme - which is it?
Great series. Helped me a lot get my emacs cleaned up!! What is this fancy shell prompt you are using?
zsh, oh-my-zsh and the bira theme
Thanks! Greetings from Munich, Germany
pdf tools doesn't work on win10? edit: got it working with Msys2.
Hello, I just saw your video, that macro for links can save me tons of time, can you share it with us? Thank you!
I just made it on the fly - that's how I usually do macros - you could figure out the specifics to recreate it via the keys displayed in the video.

Nice video, like always! Is there Haskell Programming Book on the desktop? Is that meaning that in future we will see emacs haskell config video?:)
Indeed it is. I want to dive into both Haskel and Clojure but don't think I'll have time at least until summer.
I'll be waiting for it:) thx!
One question, how do you make your videos? I mean, is there a OSS to do the splitting of the screen and recording the voice?
OBS (open broadcaster software) obsproject.com/ along with screenkey for the keystrokes on screen. OBS does all the inputs (screen, microphone, camera) and also lets you compose different scenes.
thanks teacher
Awesome!
A w e s o m e.
Which linux distrubution the teacher use ?
Linuxmint
Mike, do you use linux? What's a instruction to install PDF-TOOL to macOSX. Thanks
Sorry. Can't help here - I only use Linux.
If you use Spacemancs on osx, it is easy.
Try emacsformacosx.com/
Wow
Alternatively just sort the pdfs in folders, and do all the comments within the pdf through Adobe Reader.
I guess that mens that Adobe's Linux support is much better than back in the day :-). It still wouldn't give me all the org-mode goodness which is where I do most of the ordering and annotating.
you are a bit fast for someone who try to folow i lower your speed to 0.75 :)
How does the curor fade? Whats the package?
