In Emacs’ Dired, You could conveniently move files from outside into Emacs by simply dragging them there.
That is effective.
Emacs has been my faithful companion for over 5 years, and I just stumbled upon this remarkable feature minutes ago.
Typically, I rely on async-shell-commands to open the current buffer directory in Windows 10’s File Manager, then move files from folder to folder.
But, now, this seeming-trival discovery has greatly enhanced my workflow, instill in me a strong sence that Emacs not only coexists within the operating system, but rather embodies the operating system itself.
While it is true that Windows does not support dragging files to external locations, I seldom encounter such a requirement in my day-to-day workflows.
Have you ever had such an experience? Discovered an amazing feature after a long time using Emacs?
Still an absolute beginner but was hyped yesterday when I used “SPC m e l o” in Doom Emacs to export an Org file to PDF and opened it in an Emacs buffer and the PDF file looked amazing right off the bat. This moment was so awesome! How can it just work so smoothly? Already fell in love with this OS ;)
agreed, this OS is amazing.
