Amin Bandali: FFS code review and Emacs extensibility with Protesilaos

In the recent weeks I’ve been engaging Prot as an Emacs coach to help with doing review passes over my upcoming ffs package as I work on polishing and documenting it in preparation for offering it for inclusion in GNU ELPA. UPDATE 2026-05-15 08:50:10 -0400: Prot also published an article about our session on his website: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2026-05-15-emacs-amin-bandali-ffs-display-buffer-org-capture/ Today we had our third session where we started by reviewing and talking about my recent changes to ffs , then ventured to other Emacs-related topics with the overarching theme of the flexibility and extensibility of GNU Emacs, including display-buffer-alist , keyboard macros, defining a custom ox-bhtml Org export backend derived from Org’s ox-html for ultimate flexibility when exporting my site’s pages from Org to HTML, Org capture, plain text files and Emacs’s diary and how it compares to org-agenda , and keeping a journal with the help of Emacs. Here is the video recording of our session, which I share with Prot’s permission: Sorry, this embedded video will not work, because your web browser does not support HTML5 video.

Lastly, here is the snippet Prot shared for having Isearch treat space as a wildcard, helpful for more easily matching multiple parts of a line: (setq search-whitespace-regexp “.*?”) (setq isearch-lax-whitespace t) (setq isearch-regexp-lax-whitespace nil) Take care, and so long for now.
