Use some obscure Greek symbol as with-editor lighter
Found with C-x 8 RET EDIT TAB. From the Unicode Standard[1]:
> Ancient Greek scribes generally wrote in continuous uppercase
> letters without separating letters into words. On occasion, the
> scribe added punctuation to indicate the end of a sentence or a
> change of speaker or to separate words.
Since With-Editor acts "as the $EDITOR of an external process", I like
the "change of speaker" idea.
For posterity, a cat-and-mouse game I just completed:
- notice the " Server" string in the minor mode list
- look for "Server" in M-x describe-mode: nothing
- find out about minor-mode-alist:
> (server-buffer-clients " Server")
> server-buffer-clients is a variable defined in ‘server.el’.
- visit ‘server.el’ link
- notice that I end up in /usr/local/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/
- assume that I am running Emacs master
- assume Emacs is dumb and gives priority to /usr/local/ over ~
- visit ~/Downloads/sources/emacs/lisp/server.el manually
- spend hours looking for " Server"
- find Changelog entries referencing Bug#20201
- see that this has been removed years ago
- check Emacs version
- well whadya know this actually is 25.1
- oh yeah this is my package-upgrade instance which runs 25.1 to make
sure packages are byte-compiled by the oldest Emacs on my system
- 🤦
So on the one hand, I spent the better part of this morning reading
trivia on incredibly obscure Greek symbols, and debugging Emacs
mode-line shenanigans. On the other hand, now I know that Astérix and
Obélix are named after Aristarchian symbols.
