an emacs packages hat trick

i've found these last days a handful of really useful little emacs packages:

• smartscan, a simple way of navigating programming modes

  (use-package smartscan
    :ensure t
    :commands smartscan-mode
    :init (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'smartscan-mode)
    :diminish)
  

• git-link, because i almost never look at files using the browser, but some people don't have my repos checked out. Specially nice the bit about being able to use git config variables.

  (use-package git-link
    :ensure t
    :custom ((git-link-default-remote "bigml")))
  

• visible-mode, an Emacs built-in, especially useful in org buffers, where i hide markup and sometimes it's a chore to ascertain whether point is before or after a it. With a binding to this minor mode, it's a breeze to toggle them:

  (use-package visible-mode
    :bind (("s-v" . visible-mode)))
  

Tip of the hat to Daniel Mai, for a couple of the above. You might find some other interesting tidbits in his config.
