emacs stuff

how I learned to love *scratch*

For a while I was using a dashboard like in *doom emacs*. Then I switched to using an org file with links. The thing that sucked about that is my muscle memory kept wanting to press <tab> to go through the links. This just triggers folding and irritation. During this time I killed the *scratch buffer* explicitly, and saw no use for it. I have since changed my mind about the scratch buffer.

In my init.el, I construct my initial scratch buffer message as a list of elisp commands. I have a mapping to S-<right> to evaluate elisp. Simple and my mind does not try to make my fingers hit <tab> or any other keys that are not called for.
