#+TITLE: Ink's GNU Emacs Config #+AUTHOR: Solomon Laing (Inkletblot) #+DESCRIPTION: My personal Emacs config based that of Derek Taylor. #+STARTUP: showeverything #+OPTIONS: toc:2 * TABLE OF CONTENTS :toc: * IMPORTANT PROGRAMS TO LOAD FIRST To keep with =config.org= a reasonable length, most of the config is in scripts that are sourced here from the =~/.config/emacs/scripts/=. ** Adding the scripts directory to path #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.config/emacs/scripts/") #+end_src ** Sourcing the scripts #+begin_src emacs-lisp (require 'elpaca-setup) ;; the elpaca package manager #+end_src * BACKUP By default, Emacs creates automatic backups of files in their original directories, such "file.el" and the backup "file.el~". This leads to a lot of clutter, so let's tell Emacs to put all backups that it creates in the =TRASH= directory. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.local/share/Trash/files"))) #+end_src * COMPANY [[https://company-mode.github.io/][Company]] is a text completion framework for Emacs. The name stands for "complete anything". Completion will start automatically after you type a few letters. Use M-n and M-p to select, to complete or to complete the common part. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package company :defer 2 :diminish :custom (company-begin-commands '(self-insert-command)) (company-idle-delay .1) (company-minimum-prefix-length 2) (company-show-numbers t) (company-tooltip-align-annotations 't) (global-company-mode t)) (use-package company-box :after company :diminish :hook (company-mode . company-box-mode)) #+end_src * DIRED #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package dired-open :config (setq dired-open-extensions '(("gif" .

Install =python-pylint= for flycheck to work with python files. Haskell works with flycheck as long as =haskell-ghc= or =haskell-stack-ghc= is installed.

Other languages will require you to install additional modes. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package haskell-mode) (use-package lua-mode) #+end_src * MINIBUFFER ESCAPE By default, Emacs requires you to hit ESC three times to escape quit the minibuffer. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (global-set-key [escape] 'keyboard-escape-quit) #+end_src * MODELINE The modeline is the bottom status bar that appears in Emacs windows. While you can create your own custom modeline, why go to the trouble when Doom Emacs already has a nice modeline package available.

When you open neotree, it jumps to the current file thanks to neo-smart-open. The neo-window-fixed-size setting makes the neotree width be adjustable. NeoTree provides following themes: classic, ascii, arrow, icons, and nerd. Theme can be config'd by setting "two" themes for neo-theme: one for the GUI and one for the terminal. I like to use 'SPC t' for 'toggle' keybindings, so I have used 'SPC t n' for toggle-neotree. | COMMAND | DESCRIPTION | KEYBINDING | |----------------+---------------------------+------------| | neotree-toggle | /Toggle neotree/ | SPC t n | | neotree- dir | /Open directory in neotree/ | SPC d n | #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (use-package neotree :config (setq neo-smart-open t neo-show-hidden-files t neo-window-width 55 neo-window-fixed-size nil inhibit-compacting-font-caches t projectile-switch-project-action 'neotree-projectile-action) ;; truncate long file names in neotree (add-hook 'neo-after-create-hook #'(lambda (_) (with-current-buffer (get-buffer neo-buffer-name) (setq truncate-lines t) (setq word-wrap nil) (make-local-variable 'auto-hscroll-mode) (setq auto-hscroll-mode nil))))) #+end_src * ORG MODE ** Enabling Table of Contents #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package toc-org :commands toc-org-enable :init (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'toc-org-enable)) #+end_src ** Enabling Org Bullets Org-bullets gives us attractive bullets rather than asterisks. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-indent-mode) (use-package org-bullets) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-bullets-mode 1))) #+end_src ** Diminish Org Indent Mode Removes "Ind" from showing in the modeline. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (eval-after-load 'org-indent '(diminish 'org-indent-mode)) #+end_src ** Org Level Headers #+begin_src emacs-lisp (custom-set-faces '(org-level-1 ((t (:inherit outline-1 :height 1.7)))) '(org-level-2 ((t (:inherit outline-2 :height 1.6)))) '(org-level-3 ((t (:inherit outline-3 :height 1.5)))) '(org-level-4 ((t (:inherit outline-4 :height 1.4)))) '(org-level-5 ((t (:inherit outline-5 :height 1.3)))) '(org-level-6 ((t (:inherit outline-5 :height 1.2)))) '(org-level-7 ((t (:inherit outline-5 :height 1.1))))) #+end_src ** Source Code Block Tag Expansion Org-tempo is not a separate package but a module within org that can be enabled.
