I have never come across someone who thought in term= s of "plebians" and "aristos", most of the ones I know would rather think i= n terms of bourgeoisie and proletariat (my background is philosophy, though= ). Anyway, what I mean by "academics" are PhD students, post docs, and (jun= ior) professors of _any_ field. I strongly agree that academics don't have = more important jobs, but that emacs is simply well-suited for their aims. M= y reasons do not concern the "superiority of academics", but my worries abo= ut the dependency of university on capitalist structures. My main idea is that there is a common ground for any academic: literature = research, reading pdfs, taking notes and writing/publishing papers. No matt= er if you are a physicist, social scientist, philosopher, computer scientie= st, linguist or philosopher, you need to do these things. Now, my view is t= hat these things are not connected closely enough in emacs in order to have= a nice workflow. To drive home my point, here are some examples: 1. org-roam-bibtex and pdf-tools are not connected. For example, there s= hould be a function that takes selected text or annotations and prints it a= s a citation in an org-roam-capture buffer, using the information of the bi= btex-entry connected to the pdf by org-roam-bibtex. For example, if you sel= ected "foo" on PDF page 6, the author is A, the year is y, there should be = a function which opens a capture-buffer, which contains this: "foo. (A, y, = [link-to-pdf-at-page-6 named 'p. 6'])". 2. pdf-tools lacks some important functionality. For example, differenti= ating between page labels and page numbers and selection-behavior as in Ado= be Reader. 3. org-noter is not really configurable since its main function is 200 = lines long and hard-coded. 4. org-roam-ui does not allow to display only parts of all org-roam-note= s (for examples filtered by directory or tags) and is, thus, not well-overs= eeable. Among many other things, this impedes workflow dramatically, and I would li= ke to change this. Scimax is nice for statistics and all, but does not hand= le these problems. I hope this gives an idea of what I want to do. I don't = really know how to code, but I do know what functionalities would be great = for academics and how they should function exactly. If anyone is interested= in working with me, please get in touch with me! Best regards, Vitus P. S.: Another major issue is that syntax highlighting becomes makes emacs = so slow if you have several org-ref-citations in one paragraph or LaTeX-doc= ument with many prettified symbols. I hope there there will be a tree-sitte= r package for org-mode and LaTeX soon...
