If you're quarantined, / learn to use an editor / beyond your normal.
vim users, learn ed! / ed users, check out emacs! / Use emacs? Learn vim!

This got me thinking. / One could use emacs and such / directly from ed.
;-)
$ ed file.txt
(edit file in ed and save)
!emacs %
# Alternatively, !emacs -nw %
(edit file in emacs and save)
E
# Reloads the edited file contents into ed
If you want a persistent terminal, use tmux:
$ ed file.txt

!tmux
(use shell)
^Bd #detach from the multiplexer
!

hello
!tmux attach

Deft is instant search and creation for your pile of ascii documents. It's key in my Orgmode setup and I hardly hear it mentioned. jblevins.org/projects/deft/

Magnar, you're awesome. / Your packages have improved / Emacs for us all.

You have done enough. / More than most others, I'd say. / Take the time you need.

This is in good jest / and is really quite funny. / Thank you for the laugh!

I have just released Magit v2.90.0! emacsair.me/2018/11/08/magit… 🤩
This package is great! / Any help that it receives / benefits us all!
Projectile is tied / with Magit for "best package" / in my opinion.
So, please, if you can, / I encourage you to help. / Emacsers, unite!

I finally found time to do some backlog grooming for Projectile and get a bit of work done for version 1.1. I wouldn't mind getting help, as there's a lot to be done in general - take a look at tickets marked with "help wanted" or "good first issue" here github.com/bbatsov/projectil…
