* About
2014-09-17 22:35:52 +00:00
This is an Emacs configuration file written in [[http://orgmode.org ][Org mode ]]. It is an attempt
to keep my =~/.emacs.d= tidy, but still be able to keep it all in one
file. I aim to briefly explain all my configurations as I go along!
I would not recommend using this configuration /as-is/ , because it
probably contains a lot you don't really need. I do, however, hope people
find some golden nuggets that they can smuggle into their own configs.
If you really do want to try this config out, this is how I'd go about it:
2015-04-08 14:23:26 +00:00
Clone the repo.
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
git clone https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs
#+END_SRC
2015-04-07 22:54:37 +00:00
2015-04-08 14:23:26 +00:00
Backup your old =~/.emacs.d= (if necessary).
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
mv ~/.emacs.d ~ /.emacs.d-bak
#+END_SRC
2015-04-07 22:54:37 +00:00
2015-04-08 14:23:26 +00:00
Backup your old =~/.emacs= -file (if necessary).
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
mv ~/.emacs ~ /.emacs-bak
#+END_SRC
2015-04-07 22:54:37 +00:00
2015-04-08 14:23:26 +00:00
And finally
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
mv dot-emacs ~/.emacs.d
#+END_SRC
2014-09-17 22:35:52 +00:00
On first run it should install a bunch of packages (this might take a
while), and you might have to restart your Emacs the first time. If you
experience bugs, please let me know!
2013-12-23 01:52:18 +00:00
* Configurations
** Meta
2015-04-07 22:13:52 +00:00
All changes to the configuration should be done in =init.org= , *not* in
=init.el= . Any changes in the =init.el= will be overwritten by saving
=init.org= . The =init.el= in this repo should not be tracked by git, and
is replaced the first time Emacs is started (assuming it has been renamed
to =~/.emacs.d= ).
Emacs can't load =.org= -files directly, but =org-mode= provides functions
to extract the code blocks and write them to a file. There are multiple
ways of handling this; like suggested by [[http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/3143/can-i-use-org-mode-to-structure-my-emacs-or-other-el-configuration-file ][this StackOverflow post ]], one
could just use =org-babel-load-file= , but I had problems with
byte-compilation. Previously I tracked both the =org.= - and =el.= -files,
but the git commits got a little messy. So here is a new approach.
When this configuration is loaded for the first time, the ~init.el~ is
the file that is loaded. It looks like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
;; This file replaces itself with the actual configuration at first run.
2015-04-07 22:13:52 +00:00
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
;; We can't tangle without org!
(require 'org)
;; Open the configuration
(find-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.org"))
;; tangle it
(org-babel-tangle)
;; load it
(load-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))
;; finally byte-compile it
(byte-compile-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))
2015-04-07 22:13:52 +00:00
#+END_SRC
It tangles the org-file, so that this file is overwritten with the actual
configuration.
2015-04-07 22:39:16 +00:00
There is no reason to track the =init.el= that is generated; by running
the following command =git= will not bother tracking it:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
git update-index --assume-unchanged init.el
2015-04-07 22:39:16 +00:00
#+END_SRC
If one wishes to make changes to the repo-version of =init.el= start
tracking again with:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged init.el
2015-04-07 22:39:16 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2017-08-01 16:59:39 +00:00
I want lexical scoping for the init-file, which can be specified in the
header. The first line of the configuration is as follows:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -* -
#+END_SRC
2015-04-07 22:39:16 +00:00
The =init.el= should (after the first run) mirror the source blocks in
the =init.org= . We can use =C-c C-v t= to run =org-babel-tangle= , which
extracts the code blocks from the current file into a source-specific
file (in this case a =.el= -file).
2013-12-23 01:52:18 +00:00
To avoid doing this each time a change is made we can add a function to
the =after-save-hook= ensuring to always tangle and byte-compile the
=org= -document after changes.
2014-04-10 23:58:40 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
(defun tangle-init ()
"If the current buffer is 'init.org' the code-blocks are
tangled, and the tangled file is compiled."
(when (equal (buffer-file-name)
(expand-file-name (concat user-emacs-directory "init.org")))
;; Avoid running hooks when tangling.
(let ((prog-mode-hook nil))
(org-babel-tangle)
(byte-compile-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el")))))
2013-12-24 02:02:44 +00:00
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'tangle-init)
2013-12-23 01:52:18 +00:00
#+END_SRC
2014-11-17 00:10:38 +00:00
I'd like to keep a few settings private, so we load a =private.el= if it
exists after the init-file has loaded.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
(add-hook
'after-init-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((private-file (concat user-emacs-directory "private.el")))
(when (file-exists-p private-file)
2020-03-10 19:17:24 +00:00
(load-file private-file))
(server-start))))
#+END_SRC
2020-03-10 19:17:34 +00:00
A common optimization is to temporarily disable garbage collection during
initialization. Here, we set the ~gc-cons-threshold~ to a ridiculously large
number, and restore the default value after initialization.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(lexical-let ((old-gc-treshold gc-cons-threshold))
(setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
(lambda () (setq gc-cons-threshold old-gc-treshold))))

2015-08-06 15:02:56 +00:00
** Packages
2013-12-23 01:52:18 +00:00
2014-09-17 22:35:52 +00:00
Managing extensions for Emacs is simplified using =package= which is
built in to Emacs 24 and newer. To load downloaded packages we need to
initialize =package= . =cl= is a library that contains many functions from
Common Lisp, and comes in handy quite often, so we want to make sure it's
loaded, along with =package= , which is obviously needed.
2013-12-23 01:52:18 +00:00
2014-04-10 23:58:40 +00:00
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
(require 'cl)

** Mac OS X
I run this configuration mostly on Mac OS X, so we need a couple of
settings to make things work smoothly. In the package section
=exec-path-from-shell= is included (only if you're running OS X), this is
2015-04-09 19:38:21 +00:00
to include environment-variables from the shell. It makes using Emacs
2014-02-01 02:10:00 +00:00
along with external processes a lot simpler. I also prefer using the
=Command= -key as the =Meta= -key.

don't have any particular complaints. Though I've got a feeling I'm missing
out on something by not using [[https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm ][helm ]]. I will [[http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html ][this excellent tutorial ]] as a
starting point, along with some of the suggested configurations.
~helm~ has a wonderful feature, being able to grep files by ~C-s~ anywhere,
which is useful. [[http://beyondgrep.com/ ][ack ]] is a great ~grep~ -replacement, and is designed to
search source code, so I want to use that if it's available.

When working with several languages, we should be able to cycle through
the languages we most frequently use. Every buffer should have a separate
cycle of languages, so that cycling in one buffer does not change the
state in a different buffer (this problem occurs if you only have one
global cycle). We can implement this by using a [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Closures.html ][closure ]].

current custom theme is not disabled. This often gives weird-looking
results; we can advice =load-theme= to always disable themes currently
2015-04-07 19:08:54 +00:00
enabled themes.

** Compilation
I often run ~latexmk -pdf -pvc~ in a compilation buffer, which recompiles
the latex-file whenever it is changed. This often results in annoyingly
large compilation buffers; the following snippet limits the buffer size in
accordance with ~comint-buffer-maximum-size~ , which defaults to 1024 lines.

** Shell
2017-08-01 17:30:20 +00:00
Inspired by [[https://github.com/torenord/.emacs.d ][torenord ]], I maintain quick access to shell buffers with bindings
~M-1~ to ~M-9~ . In addition, the ~M-§~ (on an international English
2020-03-10 19:46:53 +00:00
keyboard) toggles between the last visited shell, and the last visited
non-shell buffer. The following functions facilitate this, and are bound in
the [[Key bindings ]] section.

I'd like the =C-l= to work more like the standard terminal (which works
like running =clear= ), and resolve this by simply removing the
buffer-content. Mind that this is not how =clear= works, it simply adds a
bunch of newlines, and puts the prompt at the top of the window, so it
does not remove anything. In Emacs removing stuff is less of a worry,
since we can always undo!

* Key bindings
2015-04-21 22:10:22 +00:00
Inspired by [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/683425/globally-override-key-binding-in-emacs ][this StackOverflow post ]] I keep a =custom-bindings-map= that
holds all my custom bindings. This map can be activated by toggling a
simple =minor-mode= that does nothing more than activating the map. This
inhibits other =major-modes= to override these bindings. I keep this at
the end of the init-file to make sure that all functions are actually
defined.
