He possesses formal knowledge of computers with a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering received from the University of Virginia in 1997. He is from and continues to live in San Francisco. +# Discussion + +## Questions and answers + +- Q: I wonder whether casual can only be used with the packages you + mentioned or whether it can be used with whatever package you like? + e.g., can I use causal with AUCTeX? + - A: More the latter; can the questioner clarify the question? + - People are free to fork and iterate over casual + - transient.el already has mechanism for modifying an existing + transient to redefine the bindings over the definition +- Q: \[related to the previous\] Are there any patterns emerging, such + that it would seem possible to 1) systematize 2) automate(?) the + mapping of mode commands to keyboard-driven menus? Possibly even + have an auto casual wrapper for an uncovered mode? + - A: +- Q: Does Casual have a log where you can see what commands were + invoked? This is always available via M-x view-lossage or via + command-log-mode, but I\'m wondering if it can do for Emacs commands + what Magit\'s process buffer (\$) does for learning Git commands. + (Leo just spoke about this.) + - A: That just works.

Emacs\'s plethora of powerful + functionality really needs a better way to surface itself to users + and this is a great step in that dirrection. I do have a few + thoughts, though: + - Is there a convenient way for a user in a transient to get more + information about a menu entries? Specifically: the normal + keybindings (if available) and command documentation. + - It could be useful to gather and display statistics about menu + usage. Imagine being able to generate a personalized keybinding + cheat sheet with the menu items you use the most! + [[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/casual-after)" raw="yes"]] |
