;; we can require features



;; add mirrors for list-packages


;; needed to use downloaded packages


;; install some packages if missing
;; (auto-complete ido-vertical-mode monokai-theme multiple-cursors undo-tree)


;; no splash screen


;; show matching parenthesis


;; show column number in mode-line


;; overwrite marked text


;; enable ido-mode, changes the way files are selected in the minibuffer


;; use ido everywhere


;; show vertically


;; use undo-tree-mode globally


;; stop blinking cursor


;; no menubar


;; no toolbar either


;; scrollbar? no


;; global-linum-mode shows line numbers in all buffers, exchange 0
;; with 1 to enable this feature


;; answer with y/n


;; choose a color-theme


;; get the default config for auto-complete (downloaded with
;; package-manager)


;; load the default config of auto-complete


;; kills the active buffer, not asking what buffer to kill.


;; adds all autosave-files (i.e #test.txt#, test.txt~) in one
;; directory, avoid clutter in filesystem.



;; defining a function that sets more accessible keyboard-bindings to
;; hiding/showing code-blocs


;; now we have to tell emacs where to load these functions. Showing
;; and hiding codeblocks could be useful for all c-like programming
;; (java is c-like) languages, so we add it to the c-mode-common-hook.


;; adding shortcuts to java-mode, writing the shortcut folowed by a
;; non-word character will cause an expansion.


;; the shortcuts are only useful in java-mode so we'll load them to
;; java-mode-hook.


;; defining a function that guesses a compile command and bindes the
;; compile-function to C-c C-c


;; this is a java-spesific function, so we only load it when entering
;; java-mode


;; defining a function that sets the right indentation to the marked
;; text, or the entire buffer if no text is selected.


;; bindes the tidy-function to C-TAB
