Good point. I'll switch back to Emacs as soon as it's best tool for my task again.

After using Emacs for years (huge fan!) I finally realized that Emacs hinders my productivity instead of improving it. Thus I moved to other tools, sadly, and never looked back.

In this case I would use Text Extractor (part of M$ PowerToys) and Google Translate.

None.

I have roughly the same routine. However, I have been lucky to have two additional components on many occasions: * Super interesting conversations with my walking comrades. * LSD / mushrooms / MDMA. Apart from doing garbage collection on my subconscious psychedelics make thinking and talking much more fulfilling and satisfactory.

Try smartparens. It's a successor to paredit and works for other languages as well. I have never coded (and navigated code) faster than in Clojure on Emacs w/ smartparens.
