dotemacs

I've never tried that but copying files via two different dired buffer is trivial. It is also really useful for copying files to and from remote hosts via tramp. (If copying large files in this manner look into rsync versus ssh.) Here is my .emacs if you want to see it: https://github.com/julienchastang/dotemacs/blob/master/setti.... It is a continuous work in progress.

I use org-mode everyday, as well. And the org-babel literate programming environment is a game changer, and something I find new uses for all the time. Check out this literate devops video [1] But I share your sentiment for the stability issues which I think reflect problems with emacs in general. One day, you update your packages and suddenly your favorite mode does not work anymore and you have to spend 1/2 day figuring out why literally digging into the source with edebug. Because of this I take the following measures. I use melpa-stable which as the name indicates are the stable versions of emacs packages. (The problem is not all packages are in melpa-stable so you have to deal with that too.) Also, I manage my own version of org-mode cloned from the canonical org-mode repo that I update when I decide and I can back out of if there ar

@math0ne @gknoy Sorry for answering late: https://github.com/julienchastang/dotemacs You'll need tangle/babel ➜ .emacs.d cat init.el (package-initialize) (require 'cl) (require 'ob-tangle) (org-babel-load-file "~/git/dotemacs/settings.org") https://github.com/julienchastang/vagrant (still a work in progress)

Looking at his user info, it looks like this might be it: https://github.com/julienchastang/dotemacs/blob/master/setti... It looks like it's meant to be included directly as a config file, which seems like deep magic to me. :-)
