||
* Configuring Elfeed
|
||
Let's get our feeds from a collection of org mode files. By default, Doom configures =rmh-elfeed-org-files= to [[file:~/Dropbox/org/elfeed.org][elfeed.org]] in =org-directory=, so that will be fine.
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package elfeed
|
||
:init
|
||
;; While I would like to share the /status/ of my reads, so ...
|
||
(setq elfeed-db-directory "~/dropbox/.elfeed/")
|
||
|
||
;; While not an elfeed-specific variable, this make reading articles
|
||
;; with images easier:
|
||
(setq pixel-scroll-precision-mode t)
|
||
|
||
:general
|
||
(:states 'normal :keymaps 'elfeed-show-mode-map
|
||
"b" 'elfeed-show-visit
|
||
"n" 'elfeed-show-next
|
||
"p" 'elfeed-show-prev
|
||
"y" 'elfeed-show-yank
|
||
"q" 'kill-buffer
|
||
"o" 'link-hint-open-link ; This is why this package depends on link-hint:
|
||
"Q" 'delete-window)
|
||
(:states 'normal :keymaps 'elfeed-search-mode-map
|
||
"r" 'ha-elfeed-tag-unread
|
||
"R" 'elfeed-search-update--force
|
||
"u" 'elfeed-update
|
||
"U" 'elfeed-unjam))
|
||
|
||
(defun ha-elfeed-tag-unread ()
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(elfeed-search-untag-all 'unread)
|
||
(elfeed-search-update))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Let’s turn on non-fixed-width fonts to make everything easier to read:
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
|
||
(use-package elfeed
|
||
:hook (elfeed-show-mode . variable-pitch-mode))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
According to Ben Maughan and [[http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/to-eww-or-not-to-eww/][this Pragmatic Emacs essay]], we could easily browse an article in the GUI browser instead of EWW with capital B:
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package elfeed
|
||
:config
|
||
(defun elfeed-show-visit-gui ()
|
||
"Wrapper for elfeed-show-visit to use gui browser instead of eww"
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(let ((browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/open"))
|
||
(elfeed-show-visit t)))
|
||
|
||
:bind (:map elfeed-show-mode-map
|
||
("B" . elfeed-show-visit-gui)))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Quick way to start and jump to my world of feeds.
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(defun ha-elfeed-persp-start ()
|
||
"Create an ELFEED workspace and start my ELFEED client."
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(persp-switch "feeds")
|
||
(elfeed))
|
||
|
||
(defun ha-elfeed-persp-switch ()
|
||
"Switch to the ELFEED workspace and load the next buffer."
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(persp-switch "feeds"))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And some global keys to display them in the =apps= menu:
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(ha-leader
|
||
"a f" '("elfeed switch" . ha-elfeed-persp-switch)
|
||
"a F" '("elfeed start" . ha-elfeed-persp-start))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
* The Feeds :elfeed:
|
||
The [[https://github.com/remyhonig/elfeed-org][elfeed-org]] project configures =elfeed= to read the RSS feeds from an Org file … like this one!
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package elfeed-org
|
||
:after elfeed
|
||
:config
|
||
(setq rmh-elfeed-org-files (list (f-join hamacs-source-dir "ha-feed-reader.org")))
|
||
(elfeed-org))
|
||
#+end_src
