My Emacs Packages

A selection of Emacs packages that I have written over the years
There are no comments. Why not write one?

I occasionally write Emacs packages and put them up on my Github page and some of them do appear in your local package manager also.

Here’s a complete list of packages I have released and what they do.

ezf, an fzf replacement for Emacs

Fuzzy matching with Helm
ezf filtering output from apt-cache before passing it back to the shell

Instead of calling out to fzf why not use ezf, an Emacs replacement, instead?

Smart Scan

Smart Scan jumps to other symbols in the buffer your point is on when you trigger it. It does this, unlike ISearch, without prompts or confirmation; you tell it to go up or down, and if there’s another symbol with that name above or below you it will go there.

dirswitch.el: fish-style directory switching

A friend of mine showed off Fish Shell and how, with a few key presses, you can cycle through directories you’ve visited previously. I decided to code the exact same thing in Emacs.
