on reddit, “computer keyboard design flaws”: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/2mz5ex/xah_lee_on_computer_keyboard_design_flaws/
made our day.
does Rich Hickey uses emacs? am unhappy with current #clojure mode, and its not written by him.
Emacs: Search Text in Directory (added screenshots)
show/edit zip file content in emacs
there's a patch for opening zip files in emacs. When opening a zip archive of a single file, emacs now can display its content (and you can edit it)
See: bug#1702: [PATCH]: feature request: correctly display single file zip archive at
- http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=1702
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-11/msg00603.html
It's going to be in emacs 25.x. Thanks to Matthew Leach for the patch.

some powerful coders in emacs community who also contributed to clojure.
Phil Hagelberg. http://technomancy.us/ ◇ https://twitter.com/technomancy ◇ https://github.com/technomancy
Steve Purcell http://www.sanityinc.com/ ◇ https://twitter.com/sanityinc ◇ https://github.com/purcell

John Wiegley (haskell) http://newartisans.com/ ◇ https://twitter.com/jwiegley ◇ https://github.com/jwiegley
to this list i must also add:
Christopher Wellons http://nullprogram.com/ ◇ https://github.com/skeeto
but am not sure if Christopher does Clojure or Haskell.
this is just a list of people that comes to my mind at the moment. There are a lot great coders.
note also, these people are open source contributors, and they also blog. So, they are well-known. There are also lot great coders who code prorietary software and don't talk much. That is rather the norm. (e.g. many startups are like that) Only small percent of coders actually write blog.

Clojure is the king of lisp.
new: Emacs: Run Interactive Clojure Shell/REPL in Emacs: cider
This is useful for refactoring. ELisp: Refactoring, Move Code to Files 🚀 (updated. major rewrite)
20 min job, and i have: Emacs: Xah Clojure Mode, xah-clojure-mode.el. it's basically a copy of Emacs: Xah Elisp Mode (xah-elisp-mode.el) with language keywords swapped in. Not yet good for public use, but i use it now. I'll hack it as i go. I just started with Clojure.
by the way, clojure is a superbly beautiful language, and used by industry, unlike some other lisps that live in fairy tales or tail recursion in a desert.
subscribe Xah's Programing Blog for my clojure travelogue.

emacs bookmark, when using bookmark-jump 【Ctrl+x r b】 you can use * for wildcard. For example: *today will match todo today. Updated: Emacs: Bookmark
