Building a New Package From Scratch - Cursor Heatmap Pt1 · Emacs@ Dyerdwelling
Given that I now have greater experience in Emacs package creation, I thought I would create a short series of blog posts over the next few weeks in taking an initial idea I have for a new Emacs package and working it up into a full, working version!
The idea here is to hopefully be useful to someone who has an idea for doing something new in Emacs and would like to start working it up into a package. There are resources out there, but I thought I would give a go at creating my own.
As usual with writing a blog and having to explain a concept to someone in an understandable format, I suspect that I’m also actually likely to learn something from this activity.
Have you ever wondered where your cursor/point spends most of its time when you are fiddling around with Emacs?, do you generally split two windows side-by-side and which window do you typically work in?, do you use olivetti or a similar mode to centralise the text, do you use a four window split on a large monitor and where do you spend most of your time?
So how about an Emacs package that monitors your cursor/point position and can provide a graphical report showing by some kind of graphical heat map the often used Emacs window locations
