My huge feature request for all software in general that is used to create or edit anything at all:
Contextual undo/redo!
Let me mark a section of the text, select a section of the image/graphic, highlight a selection of the timeline, or whatever else, and press Ctrl+Z to undo whatever I did within that area!
Instead of having to undo everything I've done until I get to that point and then redo everything else again. This would be a game changer!
You can keep your "AI", I just want this.
@forteller for text editing, #Emacs does exactly this. With a region of text selected, 'undo' is limited to undoing changes in that region!

I so appreciate @sacha for being an inspiration, a beacon of politeness and thoughtfulness, and not just for the #emacs community. You've inspired me to blog more this year.

#rstats and #emacs fediverse: anyone using emacs as an IDE for R/Python data science? I'm considering giving it a try as a replacement for RStudio/Positron/VSCode. A quick search led me to doom emacs and ess package... I do understand that the investment is significant initially but it seems it can pay off in the long run. So I'm wondering if others have gone down this path and how you deal with graphics, inspecting environments, literate programming (I'm thinking Quarto), etc..

As an excellent writer, I'll recommend this gentle introduction,
Emacs Lisp Elements by Protesilaos Stavrou (aka prot) for learning #emacs #lisp (aka #elisp).

I think that my Python code editor is ready for 2026!
Using Flycheck and happy about how simple it was to add a custom syntax checker. 👏
I've configured my Emacs to auto-switch between flake8 or ruff, and mypy or the brand new type checker "ty" depending on what's in the local environment.
Pull request to my emacs configuration with details about the implementation:

emacs is cool, really cool, it is so powerful it... makes you write these kinda deranged/inspired essays, like this one, one of the best i have encountered:
