Some too personal ideas?
What I'm missing from stock Emacs:
- Synchronisation of BBDB and Calendar (or other Emacs' PIMs) with
Nextcloud (or similar. I read that Tramp connects now to Nextcloud
:-).
- A tree view in dired (like ztree, for example).
- Starting executables from Dired under Windows (for example with S-RET,
OK, there's this package dired-launch).
Where I often have to leave Emacs (mainly under Windows @work):
- Capturing screenshots and drawing stuff over them. This is just an
observation, I'm not asking to convert Emacs to the Gimp!
What I'm dreaming off:
- Operating a Tor browser (or others) as a true Emacs-Browser (I'm using
EWW as often as possible, but when a web browser is already open, then
it is hard to go back).
- Some Dictionary access, in the vain of ispell, when reading, writing
and browsing.
- And maybe visual word and spelling suggestions like these Android
keyboards (but I think some of you are working on such things...)
