GergelyPolonkai: Add package box, an example, and a page category

{{Package
|name=webjump
|description=Programmable Web Hotlist
|author = Neil W. Van Dyke
|maintainer = Unknown
|in_emacs=yes
|source=http://www.neilvandyke.org/webjump/
}}

Webjump is a programmable Web hotlist facility that uses Emacs [[completion]] to select a hotlist item and can prompt for query and option parameters.

You can invoke it with {{Command|webjump}}, and you will be immediately given a list of sites you may want to reach (some notable examples are the EmacsWiki and search sites like DuckDuckGo and Google.)

== Examples ==

To add WikEmacs and the Emacs StackExchange site:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">

(setq webjump-sites
(append '(
("WikEmacs" . [simple-query "www.wikemacs.org"
"www.wikemacs.org/wiki/"
""])
("Emacs SE" . [simple-query "emacs.stackexchange.com"
<nowiki>"https://emacs.stackexchange.com/search?q="</nowiki>
""])
)
webjump-sample-sites))
</syntaxhighlight>

WikEmacs:Guidelines

2016-10-28T08:27:15Z

GergelyPolonkai: Change order of SE sites. Emacs.SE is no longer in beta, so it’s better to ask there!

'''How can we maintain and improve quality of this Wiki?'''
* Stick to Emacs-24 and Emacs-23.
* Keep things short and sweet. Mark things that should stand out in '''bold'''.
* Use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_voice Active voice]
* Give tips. Document things that are difficult to find or share your wisdom.
* Don't reproduce existing documentation. Instead link to them.
* It's OK to write long tutorial Pages. Use '''Tutorial:Tutorial Namespace''' for it. Assign categories for easily finding the tutorial.
* If you are a regular blogger, consider donating your articles to this Wiki.
* For discussions, use the '''Discussion page''' instead of posting to the article pages. Sign your comments using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
* We cannot host code extensions and elisp packages here. Use [https://github.com GitHub] or similar code hosting site.
* {{Note}} this is not a QA site. Emacs questions are better answered at the [http://emacs.stackexchange.com/ Emacs-specific StackExchange site] or on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/emacs Stackoverflow]. However, if you have an answer to a good question or problem, add in the appropriate page.
* '''Code snippets''' are most welcome. But comment about what precisely the snippet does. Document any limitations as well.

== Mediawiki Help ==
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples Help with Mediawiki markup]

== Creating new pages ==
To create a new page, do this:
# Visit [http://wikemacs.org/index.php/Template:NewPage?action=edit Template:NewPage] and copy the text area to clipboard. Feel free to modify the template.
# Goto [[WikEmacs:Scratch Buffer]]
# Add this <nowiki>[[Test Page]]</nowiki> and save the scratch buffer.
# Click on the new Wiki link to create a blank page and paste the contents of clipboard there.
# Save the newly created page.
# Now you have a basic template which you can expand upon. Add content to the new page as you please.

== Templates ==
There are templates defined for referencing ''variables'', ''function'', ''command'', ''keys'', ''manual'' etc. Use them for uniformity. See [[:Category:Templates]]. Each template page should describe how to use that template. A few common examples:

{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="75%"
|-
!What it looks like
!What you type
|-
| <h2>Headline text</h2>
| <pre>== Headline text ==</pre>
|-
| {{Manual|emacs|Major-Modes|Major Modes}}
| <pre>{{Manual|emacs|Major-Modes|Major Modes}}</pre>
|-
| {{CommandKeys|C-x C-f|find-file}}
| <pre>{{CommandKeys|C-x C-f|find-file}}</pre>
|-
| {{Keys|C-x C-c}}
| <pre>{{Keys|C-x C-c}}</pre>
|-
| {{Keys|C-x f|set-fill-column}}
| <pre>{{Keys|C-x f|set-fill-column}}</pre>
|-
| {{Command|find-file}}
| <pre>{{Command|find-file}}</pre>
|-
| {{CustomizeVariable|c-default-style}}
| <pre>{{CustomizeVariable|c-default-style}}</pre>
|-
| {{Snippet|(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)}}
| <pre>{{Snippet|(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)}}</pre>
|}

== Categories ==

Special categories, such as ''Operating system'', ''Emacs releases'', ''Programming languages'', should be used to introduce new categories. See [[Special:Categories]].

Talk:Shell

GergelyPolonkai: /* shell-here */ new section

Interesting links on history and persistency:
* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22949834/emacs-shell-command-history-lost-after-restart
* http://oleksandrmanzyuk.wordpress.com/2011/10/23/a-persistent-command-history-in-emacs/
* persistent.el looks useful too for grep, recent files, compilation history: https://github.com/alienacorn/dotemacs/blob/master/persistent.el

== shell-here ==

There is a mention of shell-here; however, it seems Emacs 25.1 does this by default, ie. opens the shell in the directory of the current buffer.
