# screwlisp's eepitch md markdown emacs useage.
Inside emacs, [my friend Edrx](
http://anggtwu.net/) has [eev-mode](
https://anggtwu.net/index.html#eev) where I can [write lines like these](
https://anggtwu.net/eepitch.html). I program lisp and my KRF, but it also does everything else including shell.
```
(eepitch-shell)
cd
git clone
https://codeberg.org/tfw/pawn-75
mkdir -p ~/leocommunity
cp -r ~/Pawn-75/Pawn-75 ~/leocommunity/my-software-individual-name
```
Where 'red star' lines contain elisp, and other lines are 'pitched' like-you-typed-it to whatever buffer `eepitch-buffer-name` is set to.
```
(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp -E ISO-8859-1 -modern")
(slime)
(setq eepitch-buffer-name "*slime-repl clisp*")
```
as you can tell, I snuck in both making and starting one software-individual here.
```
(require "asdf")
(uiop:chdir "~/leocommunity/my-software-individual-name/demus/Process/main/")
(load #p"../../../remus/Startup/cl/acleo.leos")
(cle)
put my-first-symbol property is-value
(get my-first-symbol property)
```
Pressing `<F8>` either evaluates a red star line as elisp, or pitches any other line and moves the cursor down either way. Eduardo describes `eev-mode` as automating-almost-everything. Whatever you see here '' is the default 'red star' character.
This pretty much concludes emacs useage. I'm writing eepitches inside of md markdown simply because Aral's small-web Kitten directly supports md markdown, and eev-mode does not care.
# Some vanilla emacs after all
I guess
|You type | and it does |
|:-:|:-|
|`C-x C-f <ret>` | is a file picker (dired) |
|`C-x C-s` | is save -`C-x C-w` to write|
|`C-x b` <bufferna<TAB><TAB>me> <rei> | is change buffer |
|`C-x o` | is go-to-other-pane |
Big changes for eev-mode:
|||
|:-:|-|
| `M-e` | eval nearby elisp sexp |
| `M-k` | kill current buffer |
| `M-S-k` | Do not kill current buffer (this makes sense in context)|
the idea being that these can span a vast majority (actually all) of emacs useage and should be easier to type than `C-c C-e`.
# That's all, folks!
By the way, please download/watch/share [Kent](

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Pitman)[man](
https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/common-lisp.html)'s [interview from this week from the archive peertube](
https://communitymedia.video/w/gUXEKmEnQcamtg4EZk45Un). I think it can rightly be called rare, only 19 people before you personally seem to have listened to it since it got archived. Featuring:
- Kent reading his previously unpublished essay, Whither Original Thought
- Extensive details and some introduction to Kent's Cross Referencing Editor Facility made out of odd bits of the Zmacs/Zwei emacs substrate
- Biographical and historical notes including Kent's school life while bouncing between army bases.
- Frank comparison of squirrels and LLMs in terms of resource consumption and capabilities viz Kent's birdfeeder. Slow start, but the best hour you'll spend.
