overview
purpose and usage
This is my personal emacs config.
I use this for a variety of purposes:
- maintaining my todo list/GTD workflow (org mode)
- unified interface for system administration (dired, shell, git, ediff)
- email (mu4e)
- writing some of my favorite languages (R, Lisp, Haskell, Lua, Python)
- document preparation (latex)
for new users
Feel free to take bits and pieces for your own configuration file. Like many things in emacs, the config file is quite self documenting; however, there are some useful ramblings that decribe why I made some design choices over others. As someone who learned from countless emacs configs of other experienced users, I thought it was extremely beneficial to see the thought process behind their workflow and code, and I hope my annotations pay that forward. Finally, please don't just blindly copy this config into your ~/.emacs.d. I don't care if you do, but you will learn more if you build from scratch.
config structure
The "config file" is actually several files.
The "root" is init.el which is the file explicitly loaded by emacs. The init.el is sometimes the only file people use, but my configuration became so huge I decided to split it in several files to maintain sanity. init.el currently has minimum functionality, including setting the repositories, configuring the package use-package (which installs all other packages and ensures they are available if I move this config elsewhere), and load paths for the other config files as explained below. Basically, it's a bootloader for bigger, better config files.
Once loaded, the init.el pulls in another file called main.el from the conf directory with the function org-babel-load-file. main.el is actually sourced from an org file, which allows markdown and annotations surrounding each block of lisp code. Since github is awesome and understands org files as a valid markdown format, all readme files (including this one) are actually org file.
After main.el is loaded, it may pull in a number of other files that I deemed big enough to separate (again using the org-babel-load-file function). Each .el/.org file that is included is stored in a separate directory under conf; navigate to these directories to see the file in readme format as you are reading this one.
includes
These is general code that is used throughout the config file. Stored in another file for brevity.

theme
This theme has good functionality for many different modes without being over-the-top or overly complex. It also comes with an easy way to set custom colors.
(use-package spacemacs-theme
:defer t
:config
(setq spacemacs-theme-custom-colors '((lnum . "#64707c"))))Since I run emacs in client/server mode, the loaded theme can change depending on if the client is a terminal or server (terminals have far fewer colors). This makes the theme reset when terminal is loaded before gui or vice versa.

I like to keep the modeline clean and uncluttered. This package prevents certain mode names from showing in the modeline (it also has support for use-package through the :delight keyword)
(use-package delight
:ensure t)clean the interface
Emacs comes with some useless garbage by default. IMHO (in my haughty opinion), text editors should be boxes with text in them. No menu bars, scroll bars, or toolbars (and certainly no ribbons). Also, I don't need the startup screen; scratch buffer is fine.

Some modes like to make popup windows (eg ediff). This prevents that.

Some prompts require literal "yes" or "no" to decide action. Life is short and I would rather not waste keystrokes typing whole words. This makes all "yes/no" prompts only require "y" or "n."

One of the best packages for emacs. Helm is basically a search and completion engine (other exanples being ido-mode and ivy-mode) which is mainly used for finding files and selecting commands (which are obviously used often). It also integrates well with many other modes such as evil-mode and org-mode.

This is an elegant window selector. It displays a number in the corner when activated, and windows may be chosen by pressing the corresponding number. Note that spacemacs fails to make the numbers look nice so the theme code is a workaround to make them smaller and prettier.

Added support for standard markdown files.

This allows multiple modes in one buffer. This may sound totally crazy…but it actually is. Despite it's hackiness, it actually makes alot of sense for some situations such as R markdown which requires yaml, markdown, and R code in one buffer.

By default mu4e adds breaks after 80-ish chars using auto-fill-mode which makes messages look weird when opened. Visual-line-mode avoids this problem.

For the sake of my sanity, all bindings go here. Note this means I don't use :bind in use-package forms.
setup
Most of my modifiers are reloacted using xkb and xcape. Below is a summary where each item is in the form <original key> -> <new key action> (<key release action if used>)
- tab -> l_super (tab)
- backslash -> r_super (backslash)
- caps -> l_ctrl (escape)

Some of these commands just get in the way of being evil (which really means that I keep pressing them on accident). Rather than nullifying them completely, tuck them away in the emacs state map in case I actually want them.

This is somewhat strange because all I really care about is moving between lines and to the beginning and end as normal. However, I like the idea of thinking of paragraphs as one line (eg df. deletes a sentence even if on multiple lines). Opinion subject to change.

Comint-based inferior modes often are not evil (eg intero and ESS). Configure this similarly to term (see below) where C-j/k navigate cmd history and insert mode goes to cmd input line.
