Transient user interfaces for various modes
Casual is a collection of opinionated Transient-based keyboard driven user interfaces for various built-in modes. INSTALLATION Casual is organized into different user interface (UI) libraries tuned for different modes. Different user interfaces for the following modes are supported: - Agenda (Elisp library: `casual-agenda') An interface for Org Agenda to help you plan your day. URL `https://github.com/kickingvegas/casual/blob/main/docs/agenda.org' - Bookmarks (Elisp library: `casual-bookmarks') An interface for editing your bookmark collection. URL `https://github.com/kickingvegas/casual/blob/main/docs/bookmarks.org' - Calc (Elisp library: `casual-calc') An interface for Emacs Calc, an embarrasingly feature-rich calculator.

URL `https://github.com/kickingvegas/casual/blob/main/docs/calendar.org' - Dired (Elisp library: `casual-dired') An interface for the venerable file manager Dired.

UPGRADING to Casual 2.x If you have been using an earlier version 1.x of Casual, thank you. Please use the following guidance: * If you do not use `use-package' to configure Casual Before installing Casual, you should update all of your existing Casual packages. This is most easily done via the package menu buffer described in info node `(emacs) Package Menu'. After updating your packages, install the `casual' package. Migrate your existing Casual packages from 1.x to 2.x by running the following commands: M-x load-library casual M-x casual-upgrade-base-to-version-2 Any Casual v1.x packages that have been superseded by this package will be uninstalled. While not necessary, it is recommended to run `package-autoremove' to purge any dangling dependent packages. Cautious readers can choose to audit any packages that are targeted to be removed. * If you have used `use-package' to configure Casual For version 2.x going forward, I (Charles Choi) have decided to not offer any documented guidance on using `use-package' to configure Casual due my lack of expertise in using it. I leave it to more skilled readers to determine how to best use it (described in info node `(use-package) Top') for their configuration. Please also note that this is not a prohibition on using `use-package' with Casual. I am simply admitting that I don't know how to use it. That said, if you have used :ensure t to install a superseded package, you must remove that configuration. After doing so, please follow the above instructions for installing `casual'. If you are using Emacs ≤ 30.0, you will need to update the built-in package `transient'. By default, `package.el' will not upgrade a built-in package. Set the customizable variable `package-install-upgrade-built-in' to `t' to override this. For more details, please refer to the "Install" section on this project's repository web page.
