Random quotes displayer for Emacs

Omni-Quotes

Display all the Quotes!

Description

Omni Quotes is there to display quotes on you Echo Area when you are idle. Whether it’s funny stuff, inspirational quotes, or something you try to remember.

Usage

Just turn on omni-quotes-mode, and quotes will appear when you are idle enough.

You can load a quote file with the command omni-quotes-load-simple-quote-file and reload default quotes with omni-quotes-load-defaults. A quote file is just a basic text file with one quote per line.

When you have multiple quote-set it’s possible to cycle through them with the commands omni-quotes-next-set and omni-quotes-prev-set.

Installation

You can install it from melpa, with (package-install 'omni-quotes)

If you use use-package you could use the following config

(use-package omni-quotes
  :bind (("M-s q m" . omni-quotes-mode)
         ("M-s q p" . omni-quotes-prev-set)
         ("M-s q n" . omni-quotes-next-set)
         ("M-s q s" . omni-quotes-shuffle-current-set)
         ("M-s q q" . omni-quotes-display-random-quote))
  :config (omni-quotes-load-simple-quote-file "~/.my-quote" "personal"))

Configuration

A set of custom is present to customize behavior and appearance of omniquotes. You can access it through customize-group 'omni-quotes where you’ll see the list of the customs.

Here are the main ones:

omni-quotes-default-quotes

Notes

This is an inbuilding package, hence that huge number of building comments accross the code. (usage of omni-tags is recommended :D).

If you have any remark, refactor suggestion or else, just pose an issue ;)

omni-quotes.el's Issues

Omni-quotes doesn't work

Hi,
I have tried this package recently and I am not sure if this package still work because I got some error when I tried to enable omni-quotes-mode or omni-quotes-display-random-quote. The error output is:

Warning (emacs): There is no logger of name 6703.

Not sure what is going on.

Please add a prefix to test-helper.el to avoid conflicts with 68 other packages

There exist at least 69 packages that contain a file named test-helper.el that also provides the feature test-helper.

This leads to issues for users who have at least two of these packages installed. It is unlikely that such a user would be able to run the tests of all of those packages. If the primary test file of one of those packages does (require 'test-helper), then it is undefined which of the various test-helper.el files gets loaded. Which it is, depends on the order of the load-path.

To avoid this conflicts, you should rename your test-helper.el to <your-package>-test-helper.el and adjust the feature accordingly.

Also don't forget to update the require form in your primary test file and/or update references to the library/feature elsewhere. Also, if your primary test file is named something like test.el, then please consider renaming that too (same for any other utility elisp files your repositoroy may contain).

Thanks!

PS: This issue is a bit generic because I had to open 69 issues.
