Zalgo Mode

An Emacs mode for “zalgo” text. Zalgo text combines diacritical marks (accents, tilde, etc.) to make it look glitchy or corrupted.

Example configuration

(use-package zalgo-mode
  ;; elpaca package manager https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca
  :ensure (:host github :repo "nehrbash/zalgo-mode")
  ;; alternativly locally clone and load.
  ;; :load-path "~/src/zalgo-mode"
  :bind
  ("C-c z z" . zalgo-mode) ;; minor mode for typing zalgo text
  ("C-c z r" . zalgo-transform-region)
  ("C-c z w" . zalgo-transform-word)
:custom
(zalgo-max-up 5)
(zalgo-max-mid 3)
(zalgo-max-down 5))

Example output

1. Emacs GUI interface is a weird in-between of TUI and GUI.
