[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago (2 children) Emacs makes a better row counter than basically anything else. You mean like wc -l? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] klymilark@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol 4 points 7 months ago (1 child) No, for knitting xD At this point I do an org-mode list of every row in the pattern with checkboxes, then tick them off as I do them. Way nicer, especially for patterns you have to reference multiple parts at the same time for permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] treadful@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) Wait, you're serious? You use emacs for knitting patterns? Fascinating.

It took me about 30 minutes to get the file set up, mostly because there are 45 sections like the "Field 1", most patterns would just go straight through to whatever the final row is.

Line counts appear at the bottom of the emacs window by default but has a limit where it stops incrementing somewhere in the 10,000s. Also would be slower to return a value since it needs to open the file to get the count, unlike wc -l which is virtually instantaneous. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] klymilark@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol 2 points 7 months ago On, no, I meant for knitting!
