Topic: [WTB] Help needed with Emacs configuration (Read 401 times)

yes go ahead, I cant guarantee you if I have time for it then but we will see then.

Thanks for getting back. It was quite a while since I posted this and some of these problems are already solved. I am now taken over by some other things, but I'd like to get back to these Emacs stuff at some point. I'll update this thread once I got a while and can send you a PM then if you want?

hi, its hard to quantify. Some points seem pretty simple most a bit more complicated, at least potentialy.

So are you willing to split the tasks into subjobs so for each point (sum x) or do you only pay for someone that solves you all issues, I think maybe some problems are not even solvable through simple config options, the mouse slowdown-thing could maybe be hard to nearly impossible to solve.

Its really tricky to say how long it takes to solve one of this tasks it could be a thing of 1 hour to at least 3 hours or the most problematic points like the mouse thing very long.

If researching what is the problem and if its easy to solve and maybe write a bug report/mailing list mail would be considered solving too, I could maybe calculate that points easier.

So I try to give numbers for the task:

point 1: 1 hour
point 2: 1-3 hours
point 3: 3 hours
point 4: 2 hour (either find a quick fix, or if I dont find one write a bugrequest into the mailing list)
point 5: 1 to 5 hours? (difficult to understand, tell exactly how loong it takes to solve)
point 6: 1-5 hours

thats very ruff estimates I am not that good in that, the fee per hour depends on which terms you want to pay that, without taxasion I would say 30 Euros (whatever that is in bitcoins, have no wallet yet) per hour?

So all points together for 270 to 570 Euro. Does that make sense?

I am looking for someone who can help me customize my Emacs config.

I already have slightly customized ~/.emacs with some of my settings, package installation at startup etc. I use Emacs mostly for orgmode, and have ErgoEmacs activated (it's not easy when you used Windows for so long! ). Not an Emacs master myself, I'm looking for following tweaks.

• In orgmode, when you press to cycle through the file structure, it goes through 3 states: 1 - open children of current element, 2 - open all elements under current element, 3 - close it all back. I'd like to remove state 2 - so it would only open and close direct children.
• Again, in orgmode when I'm cycling and the children of an element have many lines, emacs moves me few lines down to make it all visible. I'd like to remove that "jump"
• I use org-mouse.el to be able to sometimes cycle through the orgmode structure using the mouse. It makes the asterisks on the left of element clickable. I'd like to change that so the whole line, including asterisks, name of the element and the white space to the right would be clickable.
• I seems like cycling through org-mouse is slowed down by some timeouts before next cycling so I can't quickly click 3 times to open, open-all and close, like I would do by pressing 3 times quickly. I would like to remove these timeouts, so it's as instant by mouse as using keyboard.
• I would like emacs to autostart with three opened buffers (org files). I already have one done by "initial-buffer-choice". I use tabbar-mode and they should be visible on there (it should just work when all opened files are org files, but I'm mentioning that just in case).
• I would like to do some color changes, so I would like few simple config settings that should work in orgmode (I don't really need it to work outside of org). I would like to set the one text color (same for all org structure levels - just except BEGIN_SRC) and a background color.

Solutions shouldn't require to modify any of the packages, I should be able to just add them to my ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d or in some other clean way. Feel free to ask any questions. I would be happy to know ball-park how much would guys you charge for this.
