* mastodon.el
[[http://waffle.io/jdenen/mastodon.el][https://badge.waffle.io/jdenen/mastodon.el.png?label=in%20progress&title=In%20Progress]]
Emacs client for [[https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon][Mastodon]]
[[http://spacemacs.org][https://cdn.rawgit.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/442d025779da2f62fc86c2082703697714db6514/assets/spacemacs-badge.svg]]
** Installation
Clone this repository and add the lisp directory to your load path.
Then, require it and go.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/mastodon.el/lisp")
(require 'mastodon)
#+END_SRC
*** use-package
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package mastodon
:load-path "/path/to/mastodon.el/lisp")
#+END_SRC
*** MELPA
I'll make mastdon.el available on MELPA when I feel like it's reached a
stable state.
*** Discover
=mastodon-mode= will provide a context menu for its keybindings if =discover=
is installed. It is not required.
** Usage
*** Instance
Set =mastodon-instance-url= in your =.emacs= or =customize=. Defaults to the [[https://mastodon.social][flagship]].
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mastodon-instance-url "https://my.instance.url")
#+END_SRC
*** App registration
=M-x mastodon-register=
Retrieves =client_id= and =client_secret= tokens. They're stored in the =mastdon-token-file=.
This value can be customized too, and defaults to
=${EMACS_HOME_DIRECTORY}/mastodon.plstore=.
*** Timelines
=M-x mastodon=
Opens a =*mastodon-home*= buffer in the major mode so you can see toots.
**** Keybindings
|-----+------------------------------------------------|
| Key | Action |
|-----+------------------------------------------------|
| =?= | Open context menu (if =discover= is available) |
| =b= | Boost toot under =point= |
| =f= | Favourite toot under =point= |
| =F= | Open federated timeline |
| =H= | Open home timeline |
| =j= | Go to next toot |
| =k= | Go to previous toot |
| =L= | Open local timeline |
| =n= | Switch to =mastodon-toot= buffer |
| =q= | Quit mastodon buffer. Leave window open. |
| =Q= | Quit mastodon buffer and kill window. |
| =r= | Reply to toot under =point=. |
| =t= | Open thread buffer for toot under =point=. |
| =T= | Prompt for tag and open its timeline |
|-----+------------------------------------------------|
**** Legend
|--------+-------------------------|
| Marker | Meaning |
|--------+-------------------------|
| =(B)= | I boosted this toot. |
| =(F)= | I favourited this toot. |
|--------+-------------------------|
*** Toot toot
=M-x mastodon-toot=
Pops a new buffer/window with a =mastodon-toot= minor mode. Enter the
contents of your toot here. =C-c C-c= sends the toot.
=C-c C-k= cancels. Both actions kill the buffer and window.
If you have not previously authenticated, you will be prompted for your
account email and password. *NOTE*: Email and
password are NOT stored by mastodon.el.
Authentication stores your access token in the
=mastodon--api-token-string= variable. It is not stored on your
filesystem, so
you will have to re-authenticate when you close/reopen Emacs.
** Enabling Emojis
By default no emojis will appear in any of the posts or user names. In order to enable emojis you can install the =emojify= package.
Add [[http://melpa.org/#/emojify][MELPA]] to your list of package archives
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
#+END_SRC
Update the contents of your package archive and download =emojify=
This only needs to be called once. i.e. you should not put it in your =.emacs= or =init.el= file.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'emojify)
#+END_SRC
If you would rather install =emojify= interactively you can do so by doing the following.
Refresh the package index
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
M-x package-refresh-contents RET
#+END_QUOTE
And then install it by doing
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
M-x package-install RET emojify
#+END_QUOTE
Once installed you can define a hook for =mastodon-mode= that call =emojify-mode=
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(require 'emojify)
(defun my-mastodon-hook-function ()
(emojify-mode 't))
(add-hook 'mastodon-mode-hook 'my-mastodon-hook-function)
#+END_SRC
