root42<p>Is there a way to enable indent-tabs-mode in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> only for certain projects/paths?</p>

bignose<p>IMO if any programming language needs a specific IDE, someone has made a terrible mistake.</p><p>The best IDE is the Unix (<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GnuLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GnuLinux</span></a>) shell and all the workflow tools available there, with a powerful *general-purpose* programmer's editor like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vim</span></a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a>.</p><p>Because programming typically involves writing *many* different languages in a single project. So we need the powerful shell and editor that has a huge community contributing features regardless of what language I'm editing.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@driscollis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>driscollis</span></a></span></p>
éric 🚲 🇪🇺 :emacs:<p>Why is `auto-insert` and related in a separate info document (*Autotype*) and not in the main Emacs info manual?

Instead, I sync my org agenda (appointments mostly) to nextcloud using org-caldav-sync and use davx on the phone to update the calendar. I don't tend to sync todo items but org-caldav and nextcloud do support them.

So I installed *orgzly*. I was under the impression that if I had my todo.org file in a synced folder, *orgzly* would pick up the changes automagicaly. So I have my org files on Nextcloud, and the phone updates the folder locally every 15min. But it looks like orgzly only picks up the changes when I open the app. </p><p>Anyone got a auto-sync working?</p>
