#+TITLE: Emacs configuration file
#+AUTHOR: Lars Tveito
#+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle yes
#+STARTUP: overview
* About
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:
Clone the repo.
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
git clone https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs
#+end_src
Backup your old =~/.emacs.d= (if necessary).
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
mv ~/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d-bak
#+end_src
Backup your old =~/.emacs=-file (if necessary).
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
mv ~/.emacs ~/.emacs-bak
#+end_src
And finally
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
mv dot-emacs ~/.emacs.d
#+end_src
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!
* Meta
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
;; This file replaces itself with the actual configuration at first run.
;; 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"))
#+end_src
It tangles the org-file, so that this file is overwritten with the actual
configuration.
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
git update-index --assume-unchanged init.el
#+end_src
If one wishes to make changes to the repo-version of =init.el= start tracking
again with:
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged init.el
#+end_src
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
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).
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.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(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")))))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'tangle-init)
#+end_src
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
(add-hook
'after-init-hook
(lambda ()
(let ((private-file (concat user-emacs-directory "private.el")))
(when (file-exists-p private-file)
(load-file private-file))
(when custom-file
(load-file custom-file))
(server-start))))
#+end_src
** Faster startup
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 :tangle early-init.el
(setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
(lambda ()
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 1024 1024 20))))
#+end_src
* Packages
John Wiegley's extremely popular [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]] was included in [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-12/msg00261.html][Emacs 29]]. It
provides a powerful macro for isolating package configuration. After ignoring
this for a decade, I'll budge and give it a whirl.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)
#+end_src
Packages can be fetched from different mirrors, [[http://melpa.milkbox.net/#/][melpa]] is the largest archive
and is well maintained.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq package-archives
'(("GNU ELPA" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("MELPA Stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
("MELPA" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
package-archive-priorities
'(("GNU ELPA" . 10)
("MELPA" . 5)
("MELPA Stable" . 0)))
#+end_src
* Sane defaults
These are what /I/ consider to be saner defaults.
Set =utf-8= as preferred coding system.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set-language-environment "UTF-8")
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
#+end_src
We can set variables to whatever value we'd like using =setq=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq auto-revert-interval 1 ; Refresh buffers fast
default-input-method "TeX" ; Use TeX when toggling input method
echo-keystrokes 0.1 ; Show keystrokes asap
enable-recursive-minibuffers t ; Allow recursive minibuffers
frame-inhibit-implied-resize 1 ; Don't resize frame implicitly
inhibit-startup-screen t ; No splash screen please
initial-scratch-message nil ; Clean scratch buffer
recentf-max-saved-items 10000 ; Show more recent files
ring-bell-function 'ignore ; Quiet
scroll-margin 1 ; Space between cursor and top/bottom
sentence-end-double-space nil ; No double space
custom-file ; Customizations in a separate file
(concat user-emacs-directory "custom.el"))
;; Some mac-bindings interfere with Emacs bindings.
(when (boundp 'mac-pass-command-to-system)
(setq mac-pass-command-to-system nil))
#+end_src
Some variables are buffer-local, so changing them using =setq= will only
change them in a single buffer. Using =setq-default= we change the
buffer-local variable's default value.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq-default tab-width 4 ; Smaller tabs
fill-column 79 ; Maximum line width
truncate-lines t ; Don't fold lines
indent-tabs-mode nil ; Use spaces instead of tabs
split-width-threshold 160 ; Split verticly by default
split-height-threshold nil ; Split verticly by default
frame-resize-pixelwise t ; Fine-grained frame resize
auto-fill-function 'do-auto-fill) ; Auto-fill-mode everywhere
#+end_src
The =load-path= specifies where Emacs should look for =.el=-files (or
Emacs lisp files). I have a directory called =site-lisp= where I keep all
extensions that have been installed manually (these are mostly my own
projects).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((default-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "site-lisp/")))
(when (file-exists-p default-directory)
(setq load-path
(append
(let ((load-path (copy-sequence load-path)))
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) load-path))))
#+end_src
Answering /yes/ and /no/ to each question from Emacs can be tedious, a single /y/ or /n/ will suffice.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+end_src
To avoid file system clutter we put all auto saved files in a single
directory.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar emacs-autosave-directory
(concat user-emacs-directory "autosaves/")
"This variable dictates where to put auto saves. It is set to a
directory called autosaves located wherever your .emacs.d/ is
located.")
;; Sets all files to be backed up and auto saved in a single directory.
(setq backup-directory-alist
`((".*" . ,emacs-autosave-directory))
auto-save-file-name-transforms
`((".*" ,emacs-autosave-directory t)))
#+end_src
By default the =narrow-to-region= command is disabled and issues a
warning, because it might confuse new users. I find it useful sometimes,
and don't want to be warned.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(put 'narrow-to-region 'disabled nil)
#+end_src
Automaticly revert =doc-view=-buffers when the file changes on disk.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'doc-view-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode)
#+end_src
* Key bindings
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.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar custom-bindings-map (make-keymap)
"A keymap for custom bindings.")
#+end_src
** Modal meow
I have been wanting to try out modal editing. [[https://github.com/meow-edit/meow][meow]] seems like a nice package,
where I can still use a lot of the ten years of Emacs that are already in my
fingers. These are the default settings for qwerty.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* Visual
First off, let's declutter. Remove clickies to give a nice and clean look.
Also, the cursor can relax. We add this to the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Early-Init-File.html][early-init]], as it might be
marginally faster, and look less wonky.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle early-init.el
(dolist (mode
'(tool-bar-mode ; No toolbars, more room for text
scroll-bar-mode ; No scroll bars either
blink-cursor-mode)) ; The blinking cursor gets old
(funcall mode 0))
#+end_src
Add a small border on the frame. This also goes in the early-init.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle early-init.el
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(undecorated . t))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(internal-border-width . 24))
#+end_src
I am using a lot from [[https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs][rougier's N Λ N O Emacs]], starting with the theme.
** Theme
For the light theme, I keep the light background toned down a touch.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; N Λ N O theme
(use-package nano-theme
:init
(setq nano-light-background "#fafafa"
nano-light-highlight "#f5f7f8"))
#+end_src
The theme is set according to the system appearance (on macOS) if that is
available, defaulting to a light theme.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun load-nano-theme (variant)
(let ((theme (intern (concat "nano-" (symbol-name variant)))))
(load-theme theme t)))
(load-nano-theme (if (boundp 'ns-system-appearance) ns-system-appearance 'light))
#+end_src
Let's have Emacs change theme when the system appearance changes as well.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (boundp 'ns-system-appearance-change-functions)
(add-hook 'ns-system-appearance-change-functions 'load-nano-theme))
#+end_src
I want to be able to quickly switch between a light and a dark theme.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun cycle-themes ()
"Returns a function that lets you cycle your themes."
(let ((themes '(nano-light nano-dark)))
(lambda ()
(interactive)
;; Rotates the thme cycle and changes the current theme.
(let ((rotated (nconc (cdr themes) (list (car themes)))))
(load-theme (car (setq themes rotated)) t))
(message (concat "Switched to " (symbol-name (car themes)))))))
#+end_src
** Mode line
This is my setup for [[https://github.com/rougier/nano-modeline][N Λ N O Modeline]] after version 1.0.0:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; N Λ N O modeline
(use-package nano-modeline
:after meow
:init
;; Disable the default modeline
(setq-default mode-line-format nil)
:config
(defun meow-nano-modeline-indicator ()
"Create the status indicator for the modeline."
(pcase (meow--current-state)

('keypad (propertize " K " 'face (nano-modeline-face 'status-**)))

`((nano-modeline-cursor-position)
(nano-modeline-window-dedicated))
default))
(my-default-nano-modeline 1))
#+end_src
** Font
I primarily use [[https://github.com/adobe-fonts][Adobe Fonts]].
My default monospace font is [[https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro][Source Code Pro]]:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (member "Source Code Pro" (font-family-list))
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Source Code Pro-15"))
#+end_src
My preferred proportional font is [[https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif][Source Serif]]. In order to get
variable-pitch fonts where it makes sense, I use [[https://gitlab.com/jabranham/mixed-pitch][mixed-pitch]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Use a variable pitch, keeping fixed pitch where it's sensible
(use-package mixed-pitch
:defer t
:hook (text-mode . mixed-pitch-mode)
:config
(when (member "Source Serif Pro" (font-family-list))
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "Source Serif Pro")))
#+end_src
** Centering with Olivetti
[[https://github.com/rnkn/olivetti][Olivetti]] is a package that simply centers the text of a buffer. It is very
simple and beautiful. The default width is just a bit short.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Minor mode for a nice writing environment
(use-package olivetti
:defer t
:bind (:map custom-bindings-map ("C-c o" . olivetti-mode))
:config
(setq-default olivetti-body-width (+ fill-column 3)))
#+end_src
** Adaptive wrapping
I usually have =auto-fill-mode= enabled. When =visual-fill-mode= is enabled, try
to mimic how it looks when having used =fill-paragraph= with =adaptive-wrap=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package adaptive-wrap
:defer t
:hook (visual-line-mode . adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode))
#+end_src
** Focusing with focus
[[https://github.com/larstvei/Focus][Focus]] is my own package. It looks pretty nice, especially in combination
with Olivetti!
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Dim color of text in surrounding sections
(use-package focus
:defer t
:bind (:map custom-bindings-map ("C-c f" . focus-mode)))
#+end_src
** Dashboard
Dashboard provides a nice welcome.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; A startup screen extracted from Spacemacs
(use-package dashboard
:config
(setq dashboard-projects-backend 'project-el
dashboard-banner-logo-title nil
dashboard-center-content t
dashboard-set-footer nil
dashboard-page-separator "\n\n\n"
dashboard-items '((projects . 15)
(recents . 15)
(bookmarks . 5)))
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook))
#+end_src
* Mac OS X
I run this configuration mostly on macOS, so we need a couple of settings to
make things work smoothly. I use the =Command=-key as the =Meta=-key, Freeing
up the =Option=-key, which I need for typing Norwegian characters on a US
keyboard. In addition, it is more comfortable.
I try to minimize the use of frames. The native compilation gives a lot of
warnings, but they seem safe to ignore.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (memq window-system '(mac ns))
(setq mac-option-modifier nil
mac-command-modifier 'meta
ns-pop-up-frames nil
native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors nil))
#+end_src
The package [[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] synchronizes environment variables from the
shell to Emacs. This makes it a lot easier to deal with external programs on
macOS.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package exec-path-from-shell
:if (memq window-system '(mac ns))
:config
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
#+end_src
I had some problems with Dired, and this seems to have solved it. I /think/
the solutions was from [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4076360/error-in-dired-sorting-on-os-x][here]], and my problems were related, but not the same.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package ls-lisp
:ensure nil
:if (memq window-system '(mac ns))
:config
(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil))
#+end_src
It is useful to be able to occasionally open the file associated with a
buffer in macOS Finder.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package reveal-in-osx-finder
:if (memq window-system '(mac ns)))
#+end_src
* Modes
Here are a list of modes that I prefer enable by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dolist (mode
'(abbrev-mode ; E.g. sopl -> System.out.println
column-number-mode ; Show column number in mode line
delete-selection-mode ; Replace selected text
dirtrack-mode ; directory tracking in *shell*
global-so-long-mode ; Mitigate performance for long lines
recentf-mode ; Recently opened files
show-paren-mode)) ; Highlight matching parentheses
(funcall mode 1))
#+end_src
* Version control
Magit is the best.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; A Git porcelain inside Emacs.
(use-package magit
:hook ((magit-pre-refresh . diff-hl-magit-pre-refresh)

:bind (:map custom-bindings-map ("C-c m" . magit-status)))
#+end_src
Have some visual indication where there are uncommitted changes.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
* Window management
Some keybindings (involving the option, resulting in funny symbols) for
window management.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package windmove
:ensure nil
:bind (:map custom-bindings-map
("M-˙" . windmove-left)

("M-ô" . windmove-swap-states-down)
("M-" . windmove-swap-states-up)
("M-ò" . windmove-swap-states-right)))
#+end_src
* EditorConfig
Using [[https://editorconfig.org/][EditorConfig]] is a must when collaborating with others. It is also a way
of having multiple tools that want to format your buffer to agree (e.g. both
the language's Emacs mode and some external formatter/prettifier).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; EditorConfig Emacs Plugin
(use-package editorconfig
:config
(editorconfig-mode 1))
#+end_src
* Completion UI
I have transitioned from [[https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/][Helm]] to [[http://oremacs.com/swiper/][Ivy]], and now, on to [[https://github.com/minad/vertico][Vertico]]. It improves the
interface calling commands (i.e. ~M-x~), finding files, switching buffers,
searching files and so on. Using the ~vertico-buffer-mode~ gives a more
Helm-like experience, where completions are given a full fledged buffer.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; VERTical Interactive COmpletion
(use-package vertico
:init
(vertico-mode 1)
:config
(setq vertico-count 25))
#+end_src
Use the built in ~savehist-mode~ to prioritize recently used commands.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Save minibuffer history
(use-package savehist
:init
(savehist-mode 1))
#+end_src
With [[https://github.com/minad/marginalia/][Marginalia]], we get better descriptions for commands inline.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Enrich existing commands with completion annotations
(use-package marginalia
:init
(marginalia-mode 1))
#+end_src
** Completion
I used [[https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete][Auto-Complete]] for years, then I used [[http://company-mode.github.io/][company-mode]] for even more years,
and now I am giving [[https://github.com/minad/corfu][corfu]] a shot. I want a pretty aggressive completion
system, hence the no delay settings and a short prefix length.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Modular text completion framework
(use-package corfu
:init
(global-corfu-mode 1)
(corfu-popupinfo-mode 1)
:config
(setq corfu-cycle t

corfu-auto-delay 0
corfu-auto-prefix 2
corfu-popupinfo-delay 0.5))
#+end_src
I use corfu in concert with [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Flyspell
Flyspell offers on-the-fly spell checking.
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]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun cycle-languages ()
"Changes the ispell dictionary to the first element in
ISPELL-LANGUAGES, and returns an interactive function that cycles
the languages in ISPELL-LANGUAGES when invoked."
(let ((ispell-languages (list "american" "norsk")))
(lambda ()
(interactive)
;; Rotates the languages cycle and changes the ispell dictionary.
(let ((rotated (nconc (cdr ispell-languages) (list (car ispell-languages)))))
(ispell-change-dictionary (car (setq ispell-languages rotated)))))))
#+end_src
We enable =flyspell-mode= for all text-modes, and use =flyspell-prog-mode=
for spell checking comments and strings in all programming modes. We bind =C-c l= to a function returned from =cycle-languages=, giving a language
switcher for every buffer where flyspell is enabled.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* Org
I use Org mode extensively. Some of these configurations may be unfortunate,
but it is a bit impractical to change, as I have years worth of org-files and
want to avoid having to reformat a lot of files.
One example is =org-adapt-indentation=, which changed default value in
version 9.5 of Org mode. Another is that I for some unknown reason decided to
content within source content not be indented by two spaces (which is the
default).
Note that I disable some safety features, so please don't copy and paste
mindlessly (see the documentation for =org-confirm-babel-evaluate= and =org-export-allow-bind-keywords=).

* Interactive functions
<<sec:defuns>> =just-one-space= removes all whitespace around a point - giving it a negative
argument it removes newlines as well. We wrap a interactive function around
it to be able to bind it to a key. In Emacs 24.4 =cycle-spacing= was
introduced, and it works like =just-one-space=, but when run in succession it
cycles between one, zero and the original number of spaces.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

"Removes whitespace before and after the point."

Often I want to find other occurrences of a word I'm at, or more specifically
the symbol (or tag) I'm at. The =isearch-forward-symbol-at-point= in Emacs
24.4 works well for this, but I don't want to be bothered with the =isearch=
interface. Rather jump quickly between occurrences of a symbol, or if non is
found, don't do anything.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

I sometimes regret killing the =*scratch*=-buffer, and have realized I never
want to actually kill it. I just want to get it out of the way, and clean it
up. The function below does just this for the =*scratch*=-buffer, and works
like =kill-this-buffer= for any other buffer. It removes all buffer content
and buries the buffer (this means making it the least likely candidate for =other-buffer=).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun kill-this-buffer-unless-scratch ()
"Works like `kill-this-buffer' unless the current buffer is the
,*scratch* buffer. In witch case the buffer content is deleted and
the buffer is buried."

Org mode does currently not support synctex (which enables you to jump from a
point in your TeX-file to the corresponding point in the pdf), and it [[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/69454][seems

* Advice
An advice can be given to a function to make it behave differently. This

*** Common lisp
#+begin_quote
Note that I haven't used Common Lisp for a very long time, and this setup
might be broken. I keep it around for reference.
#+end_quote
I use [[http://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/][Slime]] along with =lisp-mode= to edit Common Lisp code. Slime provides
code evaluation and other great features, a must have for a Common Lisp
developer. You can install the Common Lisp slime counterpart using
[[http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/][Quicklisp]], creating a helper that can be loaded.
We can specify what Common Lisp program Slime should use (I use SBCL). More
sensible =loop= indentation is borrowed from [[https://github.com/simenheg][simenheg]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Python
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq python-shell-interpreter "python3.11")
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq forward-sexp-function nil)))
#+end_src
** C
The =c-mode-common-hook= is a general hook that work on all C-like languages
(C, C++, Java, etc...). I like being able to quickly compile using =C-c C-c=
(instead of =M-x compile=), a habit from =latex-mode=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun c-setup ()
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'compile))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'c-setup)
#+end_src
** Java
Some statements in Java appear often, and become tedious to write out. We
can use abbrevs to speed this up.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-abbrev-table 'java-mode-abbrev-table
'(("psv" "public static void main(String[] args) {" nil 0)
("sopl" "System.out.println" nil 0)
("sop" "System.out.printf" nil 0)))
#+end_src
To be able to use the abbrev table defined above, =abbrev-mode= must be
activated.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)
#+end_src
** Kotlin
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package kotlin-mode
:hook (kotlin-mode . eglot-ensure))
#+end_src
** Assembler
When writing assembler code I use =#= for comments. By defining =comment-start= we can add comments using =M-;= like in other programming
modes. Also in assembler should one be able to compile using =C-c C-c=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun asm-setup ()
(setq comment-start "#")
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'compile))
(add-hook 'asm-mode-hook 'asm-setup)
#+end_src

** Haskell =haskell-doc-mode= is similar to =eldoc=, it displays documentation in the
echo area. Haskell has several indentation modes - I prefer using =haskell-indent=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** Minizinc
Provide a default =compile-command=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun minizinc-setup-compile-command ()
(let ((command (concat "minizinc " (buffer-file-name) " "))
(f (concat (file-name-base (buffer-file-name)) ".dzn")))
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'recompile)
(setq-local compile-command (concat command (if (file-exists-p f) f "")))))
#+end_src
Use =minizinc-mode=, and hook up the =minizinc-setup-compile-command= above.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Major mode for MiniZinc code
(use-package minizinc-mode

** Coq
[[https://proofgeneral.github.io/][Proof General]] is really great for working with proof assistants. I have only
tried it with Coq.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
For completions, I use [[https://github.com/cpitclaudel/company-coq][company-coq]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Webdev
My webdev setup isn't much, but with eglot and Tree-sitter, I don't find
myself missing much. It depends on [[https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/][Tree-sitter]], which was added in [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/NEWS?h=emacs-29#n36][emacs
29.1]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Major mode for editing JavaScript
(use-package js
:ensure nil
:defer t

#+end_src
Similarly for TypeScript.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
I am using [[https://svelte.dev][Svelte]] for some projects, where I find [[https://web-mode.org][web-mode]] along with the
[[https://github.com/sveltejs/language-tools][Svelte Language Server]] to work well.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** Z3
I mostly use [[https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3][Z3]] as a Python library, but occasionally I'll run some SMT-LIB
code directly.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* Which key
[[https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key][Which key]] is nice for discoverability.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
Lastly we need to activate the map by creating and activating the =minor-mode=.
