  I usually summarize Mastodon links, move them to my Emacs News Org file, and then categorize them. Today I accidentically categorized the links while they were still in my Mastodon buffer, so I had two lists with categories. I wanted to write some Emacs Lisp to merge sublists based on the top-level items. I could sort the list alphabetically with C-c ^ (org-sort) and...

With a little modification, they'll also work at the beginning of list items. (defun my-org-use-speed-commands-for-headings-and-lists () "Activate speed commands on list items too."

(defvar my-mastodon-handle "@sacha@social.sachachua.com") (defun my-mastodon-copy-handle (&optional start-new beg end) "Append Mastodon handles to the kill ring. Use the handle...
