Emacs Hydra: Allow completion when I can't remember the command name

| emacs

So it turns out that I'm pretty much zonked after a day with the kiddo and have a hard time remembering keystrokes or speed-reading my Hydra cheat sheets. I want to be able to use M-x-like completion in my Hydra so that I can type a few characters and then maybe see the shortcuts there. Here's what it looks like:

Figure 1: Hydra completion

(defun my/hydra-format-head (h)
  (let ((key-binding (elt h 0))
        (hint (elt h 2))
        (cmd (and (elt h 1) (prin1-to-string (elt h 1)))))
    (if cmd
        (format "%s (%s) - %s" hint key-binding cmd)
      (format "%s (%s)" hint key-binding))))

(defun my/hydra-current-heads-as-candidates ()
  (let ((base (replace-regexp-in-string "/body$" "" (symbol-name hydra-curr-body-fn))))
    (mapcar (lambda (h)
              (cons (my/hydra-format-head h) (hydra--head-name h (intern base))))
            (symbol-value (intern (concat base "/heads"))))))

(defun my/hydra-execute-extended (prefixarg &optional command-name typed)
  (declare (interactive-only command-execute))
  (interactive (let ((execute-extended-command--last-typed nil)
                     (candidates (my/hydra-current-heads-as-candidates)))
                 (hydra-keyboard-quit)
                 (list current-prefix-arg
                       (completing-read "Cmd: " candidates)
                       execute-extended-command--last-typed)))
  (let* ((candidates (my/hydra-current-heads-as-candidates))
         (bind (assoc-default command-name candidates 'string=)))
    (cond
     ((null bind) nil)
     ((hydra--callablep bind) (call-interactively bind)))))

This is how I add it to all my hydras: 

(with-eval-after-load 'hydra
  (define-key hydra-base-map (kbd "<tab>") #'my/hydra-execute-extended))

Proooobably works? Very rough. Might be useful for those fuzzy-brain days.

This is part of my Emacs configuration.

This is a test post from Org Mode to 11ty

| blogging, org, emacs

At the moment, my Org file needs to be in the proper content directory. I'm planning to copy the way ox-hugo allows me to export to a different directory and export filename. In the meantime, this is a start.

Emacs: Making a hydra cheatsheet for Lispy

| emacs

I wanted to get the hang of Lispy thanks to Leo Vivier’s presentation at EmacsSF, but there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts to explore. In Karl Voit’s demo of Org Mode at GLT21, he showed how he uses Hydra to make cheat sheets. That makes perfect sense, of course, as Hydra can display text and allow you to run commands while the text is displayed. I wanted to make a Hydra that would show me categorized commands to make it easier to look up and eventually remember them. I also wanted to skip the commands that I already knew or that I didn’t want to focus on just yet.

Fortunately, the function reference had a link to the Org file used to generate it. I copied the tables, merged them together, named them with #+NAME: bindings, replaced the links with plain text, and added a third column with the category I wanted to put commands into.

I wrote this Emacs Lisp code with the header arguments #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var bindings=bindings :colnames yes: 

(eval
 (append
  '(defhydra my/lispy-cheat-sheet (:hint nil :foreign-keys run)
     ("<f14>" nil :exit t))
  (cl-loop for x in bindings
           unless (string= "" (elt x 2))
           collect
           (list (car x)
                 (intern (elt x 1))
                 (when (string-match "lispy-\\(?:eval-\\)?\\(.+\\)"
                                     (elt x 1))
                   (match-string 1 (elt x 1)))
                 :column
                 (elt x 2)))))
(with-eval-after-load "lispy"
  (define-key lispy-mode-map (kbd "<f14>") 'my/lispy-cheat-sheet/body))

Here’s the result:

Figure 1: Hydra-based cheat sheet

I’m experimenting with having my Windows key be F14 if tapped and Super_L if held down. I use KDE, so I disabled the Applications shortcut with: 

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta ""
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

and then used xcape -e 'Super_L=F14' to make it work.

Looking forward to getting the hang of this!
