Omni-Quotes

Display all the Quotes!

Description

Omni Quotes is there to display quotes on you Echo Area when you are idle. Whether it’s funny stuff, inspirational quotes, or something you try to remember.

Usage

Just turn on omni-quotes-mode, and quotes will appear when you are idle enough.

You can load a quote file with the command omni-quotes-load-simple-quote-file and reload default quotes with omni-quotes-load-defaults. A quote file is just a basic text file with one quote per line.

When you have multiple quote-set it’s possible to cycle through them with the commands omni-quotes-next-set and omni-quotes-prev-set.

Installation

You can install it from melpa, with (package-install 'omni-quotes)

If you use use-package you could use the following config

(use-package omni-quotes
  :bind (("M-s q m" . omni-quotes-mode)
         ("M-s q p" . omni-quotes-prev-set)
         ("M-s q n" . omni-quotes-next-set)
         ("M-s q s" . omni-quotes-shuffle-current-set)
         ("M-s q q" . omni-quotes-display-random-quote))
  :config (omni-quotes-load-simple-quote-file "~/.my-quote" "personal"))

Configuration

A set of custom is present to customize behavior and appearance of omniquotes. You can access it through customize-group 'omni-quotes where you’ll see the list of the customs.

Here are the main ones:

omni-quotes-default-quotesList of default quotes omni-quotes-promptLeading prompt of quotes messages omni-quotes-idle-intervalIdle time after which omni-quote start to display quotes omni-quotes-max-repeatNumber of omni-quotes will repeat without any activity. If zero there wont be any limit omni-quotes-fadingDoes the quote fade after some time omni-quotes-fading-delayDelay before the fading effect omni-quotes-fading-durationTime it takes for the quote to fade away omni-quotes-repeat-intervalTime interval between two quotes omni-quotes-boring-message-patternsList of message that ca be overwritten by an omni-quote omni-quotes-lighterOmniQuote lighter (name in modeline).

If you want to customize them programaticaly in your config you must use the customize-set-variable construct, eg: (customize-set-variable 'omni-quotes-fading t)

Notes

This is an inbuilding package, hence that huge number of building comments accross the code. (usage of omni-tags is recommended :D).

If you have any remark, refactor suggestion or else, just pose an issue ;)
