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
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.config/emacs/scripts/")
Sourcing the scripts
(require 'elpaca-setup) ;; the elpaca package manager
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.
(setq backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.local/share/Trash/files")))
COMPANY
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, <return> to complete or <tab> to complete the common part.
(use-package company
:defer 2
:diminish
:custom

(company-idle-delay .1)
(company-minimum-prefix-length 2)

DIRED
(use-package dired-open
:config
(setq dired-open-extensions '(("gif" . "sxiv")
("jpg" . "sxiv")
("png" . "sxiv")
("mkv" . "mpv")
("mp4" . "mpv"))))
(use-package peep-dired

:hook (evil-normalize-keymaps . peep-dired-hook)
:config
(evil-define-key 'normal dired-mode-map (kbd "h") 'dired-up-directory)
(evil-define-key 'normal dired-mode-map (kbd "l") 'dired-open-file) ; use dired-find-file instead if not using dired-open package

(evil-define-key 'normal peep-dired-mode-map (kbd "k") 'peep-dired-prev-file)
)
EVIL
Evil is an extensible vi/vim layer for Emacs. Because…let's face it. The Vim keybindings are just plain better.
;; Expands to: (elpaca evil (use-package evil :demand t))
(use-package evil
:init ;; tweak evil's configuration before loading it
(setq evil-want-integration t ;; This is optional since it's already set to t by default.
evil-want-keybinding nil
evil-vsplit-window-right t
evil-split-window-below t
evil-undo-system 'undo-redo) ;; Adds vim-like C-r redo functionality
(evil-mode))
(use-package evil-collection
:after evil
:config
;; Do not uncomment this unless you want to specify each and every mode
;; that evil-collection should works with. The following line is here
;; for documentation purposes in case you need it.
;; (setq evil-collection-mode-list '(calendar dashboard dired ediff info magit ibuffer))
(add-to-list 'evil-collection-mode-list 'help) ;; evilify help mode
(evil-collection-init))
(use-package evil-tutor)
;; Using RETURN to follow links in Org/Evil
;; Unmap keys in 'evil-maps if not done, (setq org-return-follows-link t) will not work
(with-eval-after-load 'evil-maps
(define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "SPC") nil)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "RET") nil)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "TAB") nil))
;; Setting RETURN key in org-mode to follow links
(setq org-return-follows-link t)
FLYCHECK
Install luacheck from your Linux distro's repositories for flycheck to work correctly with lua files. 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. For more information on language support for flycheck, read this.
(use-package flycheck
:ensure t
:defer t
:diminish
:init (global-flycheck-mode))
Zooming In/Out
You can use the bindings CTRL plus =/- for zooming in/out. You can also use CTRL plus the mouse wheel for zooming in/out.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key (kbd "C--") 'text-scale-decrease)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-wheel-up>") 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-wheel-down>") 'text-scale-decrease)
GIT PROGRAMS
Magit
Magit is a full-featured git client for Emacs.
(use-package magit)
HIGHLIGHT TODO
Adding highlights to TODO and related words.
(use-package hl-todo
:hook ((org-mode . hl-todo-mode)
(prog-mode . hl-todo-mode))
:config
(setq hl-todo-highlight-punctuation ":"
hl-todo-keyword-faces
`(("TODO" warning bold)
("FIXME" error bold)
("HACK" font-lock-constant-face bold)
("REVIEW" font-lock-keyword-face bold)
("NOTE" success bold)
("DEPRECATED" font-lock-doc-face bold))))
IVY (COUNSEL)
- Ivy, a generic completion mechanism for Emacs.
- Counsel, a collection of Ivy-enhanced versions of common Emacs commands.
- Ivy-rich allows us to add descriptions alongside the commands in M-x.
(use-package counsel
:after ivy
:diminish
:config
(counsel-mode)
(setq ivy-initial-inputs-alist nil)) ;; removes starting ^ regex in M-x
(use-package ivy
:bind
;; ivy-resume resumes the last Ivy-based completion.
(("C-c C-r" . ivy-resume)
("C-x B" . ivy-switch-buffer-other-window))

LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Emacs has built-in programming language modes for Lisp, Scheme, DSSSL, Ada, ASM, AWK, C, C++, Fortran, Icon, IDL (CORBA), IDLWAVE, Java, Javascript, M4, Makefiles, Metafont, Modula2, Object Pascal, Objective-C, Octave, Pascal, Perl, Pike, PostScript, Prolog, Python, Ruby, Simula, SQL, Tcl, Verilog, and VHDL. Other languages will require you to install additional modes.
(use-package haskell-mode)
(use-package lua-mode)
MINIBUFFER ESCAPE
By default, Emacs requires you to hit ESC three times to escape quit the minibuffer.
(global-set-key [escape] 'keyboard-escape-quit)
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. For more information on what is available to configure in the Doom modeline, check out: Doom Modeline
(use-package doom-modeline
:ensure t
:init (doom-modeline-mode 1)
:config
(setq doom-modeline-height 35 ;; sets modeline height
doom-modeline-bar-width 5 ;; sets right bar width
doom-modeline-persp-name t ;; adds perspective name to modeline
doom-modeline-persp-icon t)) ;; adds folder icon next to persp name
NEOTREE
Neotree is a file tree viewer. 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 |
(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)))))
ORG MODE
Enabling Table of Contents
(use-package toc-org
:commands toc-org-enable
:init (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'toc-org-enable))
Enabling Org Bullets
Org-bullets gives us attractive bullets rather than asterisks.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-indent-mode)
(use-package org-bullets)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-bullets-mode 1)))
Diminish Org Indent Mode
Removes "Ind" from showing in the modeline.
(eval-after-load 'org-indent '(diminish 'org-indent-mode))
Org Level Headers
(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)))))
Source Code Block Tag Expansion
Org-tempo is not a separate package but a module within org that can be enabled. Org-tempo allows for '<s' followed by TAB to expand to a begin_src tag. Other expansions available include:
| Typing the below + TAB | Expands to … |
|---|---|
| <a | '#+BEGIN_EXPORT ascii' … '#+END_EXPORT |
| <c | '#+BEGIN_CENTER' … '#+END_CENTER' |
| <C | '#+BEGIN_COMMENT' … '#+END_COMMENT' |
| <e | '#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE' … '#+END_EXAMPLE' |
| <E | '#+BEGIN_EXPORT' … '#+END_EXPORT' |
| <h | '#+BEGIN_EXPORT html' … '#+END_EXPORT' |
| <l | '#+BEGIN_EXPORT latex' … '#+END_EXPORT' |
| <q | '#+BEGIN_QUOTE' … '#+END_QUOTE' |
| <s | '#+BEGIN_SRC' … '#+END_SRC' |
| <v | '#+BEGIN_VERSE' … '#+END_VERSE' |
(require 'org-tempo)
RAINBOW DELIMITERS
Adding rainbow coloring to parentheses.
(use-package rainbow-delimiters
:hook ((emacs-lisp-mode . rainbow-delimiters-mode)
(clojure-mode . rainbow-delimiters-mode)))
RAINBOW MODE
Display the actual color as a background for any hex color value (ex. #ffffff). The code block below enables rainbow-mode in all programming modes (prog-mode) as well as org-mode, which is why rainbow works in this document.
(use-package rainbow-mode
:diminish
:hook org-mode prog-mode)
SANE DEFAULTS
The following settings are simple modes that are enabled (or disabled) so that Emacs functions more like you would expect a proper editor/IDE to function.
(delete-selection-mode 1) ;; You can select text and delete it by typing.
(electric-indent-mode -1) ;; Turn off the weird indenting that Emacs does by default.
(electric-pair-mode 1) ;; Turns on automatic parens pairing
;; The following prevents <> from auto-pairing when electric-pair-mode is on.
;; Otherwise, org-tempo is broken when you try to <s TAB...
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(setq-local electric-pair-inhibit-predicate
`(lambda (c)
(if (char-equal c ?<) t (,electric-pair-inhibit-predicate c))))))
(global-auto-revert-mode t) ;; Automatically show changes if the file has changed
(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1) ;; Display line numbers
(global-visual-line-mode t) ;; Enable truncated lines
(menu-bar-mode -1) ;; Disable the menu bar
(scroll-bar-mode -1) ;; Disable the scroll bar
(tool-bar-mode -1) ;; Disable the tool bar
(setq org-edit-src-content-indentation 0) ;; Set src block automatic indent to 0 instead of 2.
SUDO EDIT
sudo-edit gives us the ability to open files with sudo privileges or switch over to editing with sudo privileges if we initially opened the file without such privileges.
(use-package sudo-edit)
