After watching a YouTube video[1] on managing window layouts in Emacs I was
reminded of ‘winner-mode’ and introduced to the ‘ivy-push-view’ and
‘ivy-switch-view’ commands. As I feel like I frequently end up with setting up
and losing layouts, I think these may be useful.

In order to support my tablet which seems to have a lower maximum integer
value (I guess it’s 32-bit? I’m surprised) and can’t handle the version numbers
I was using before. It would turn them into floating point numbers, which adds a
~.0~, this made it impossible to install any package.
Any installations I have will need to reinstall all their oni packages so that
the new version number is picked up, since the new version number will be lower
than the old one.
Since ‘less-css-mode’ is derived from ‘css-mode’, we should be able to assume
that if it works in ‘css-mode’, it’ll work in ‘less-css-mode’. Also if there are
going to be any customizations required, I might have to create a new settings
file anyway.
Using the File type from the Gitlab CI/CD pipeline options, specify the required
files on the command line directly instead of writing to them from a script. SSH
won’t accept the identity file specified (‘DEPLOY_KEY’) if its file permissions
are more permissive than 600.
When working on the exercises of the book I’m currently reading, I always have
to open a file, save it (to create the directory and file) and then revert the
file just so that ‘lsp-mode’ can connect to the server. With this command I can
have that done before I open the file.
I’ve noticed that a lot of the time I want to go directly to a project’s git
status, instead of to one of the files. Now I can press ‘M-o’ when switching
projects with Ivy and I’ll get a choice of switching to the magit buffer.
