#+TITLE: Tom-Emacs Interface
#+STARTUP: showall
This is my personal Emacs configuration. The name was inspired by
"Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface and Ryan Rix's "Complete
Computing Environment".
To start off, first I need to enable lexical binding.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :padline no
;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
#+END_SRC
* Package configuration
Require package.el since I immediately start using its variables and
functions anyway, no need to delay loading.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'package)
#+END_SRC
Add the MELPA and org package archives because I like living on the
bleeding edge. This should be done both at run-time and compile-time
so I can install packages at compile time.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-and-compile
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")))
#+END_SRC
Initialize package.el so that packages can be loaded and used. This
also needs to be done at both run-time and compile-time so packages
can be installed at compile-time.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Some actions produce a lot of output that is usually uninteresting
during compilation. However, this information may be crucial when an
error occurs. So for these actions I can use this macro, which
stores all sent messages in a temporary buffer and prints them when
an error occurs, and hides them when it doesn't.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defmacro silently (title &rest body)
"Only output something when an error occurs.
Prefix with TITLE any output that occurs while executing BODY,
but only when an error occurs, otherwise discard it."
(declare (indent 1))

(error-var (cl-gensym)))
`(with-temp-buffer
(let ((,buffer-var (current-buffer)))
(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'message)

(insert " " (apply 'format msg args) "\n")))))
(condition-case ,error-var
(progn ,@body)

(princ (with-current-buffer ,buffer-var (buffer-string)))
(princ "Error:\n")
(princ " ")
(princ (cadr ,error-var))
(princ "\n"))))))))
#+END_SRC
Refresh the package contents so packages can be installed from all
configured archives. Don't do this at run-time because it slows down
the process too much.

This macro is inspired by use-package, but I want to maintain some
control of the syntax I use to configure my settings.

* Site lisp
Setup everything so that any autoloads in ~site-lisp/~ get loaded
and can be used.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2016-09-07 14:44:12 +02:00
(eval-and-compile
(add-to-list 'load-path (locate-user-emacs-file "site-lisp/"))

(when (file-exists-p loaddefs)
(load loaddefs))))
2016-09-07 14:31:14 +02:00
#+END_SRC
* Helper functions
I have noticed that I refer to the combination of
=user-emacs-directory= and "data/" a lot, so I wrote this function
to make referencing it cleaner. Also useful if I ever want to move
my data directory.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun oni:data-location (file-name)
"Return the location of FILE-NAME within my data directory.
This is currently the data directory under the
`user-emacs-directory'."
(concat user-emacs-directory "data/" file-name))
#+END_SRC
I also wrote a test for it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'ert
(ert-deftest oni:data-location ()
"Test that `oni:data-location' returns the correct locations."
(should (string= "~/.emacs.d/data/backup-files/"
(oni:data-location "backup-files/")))
(should (string= "~/.emacs.d/data/auto-save-files/"
(oni:data-location "auto-save-files/")))
(should (string= "~/.emacs.d/data/auto-save-list/.saves-"
(oni:data-location "auto-save-list/.saves-")))))
#+END_SRC
* Backups
I don't like having every directory filled with "filename~"
files. So instead of saving backup files to the same directory, save
them to a special one instead.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq backup-directory-alist `((".*" . ,(oni:data-location "backup-files/"))))
#+END_SRC
* Auto saves
I prefer to keep all autosave files in a single directory so they
don't clog up my filesystem so much. Usually these files get
deleted, but sometimes they don't, and I don't think they look
pretty. Add it to the end of the list because the default value
stores auto-saves for remote files in /tmp, which is fine by me.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'auto-save-file-name-transforms
`(".*" ,(oni:data-location "auto-save-files/") t) :append)
#+END_SRC
Place the files which contain the auto save files in a similar
directory.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq auto-save-list-file-prefix (oni:data-location "auto-save-list/.saves-"))
#+END_SRC
* Tabs
Generally I prefer using spaces over tabs. Especially for lisp-like
languages.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
#+END_SRC
A tab-width of 8 is too wide for me, and 2 is too narrow. 4 is just
right.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default tab-width 4)
#+END_SRC
* Font
Set the default font to a more pleasing one, in my opinion, with a
better size as well.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2016-09-18 00:11:01 +02:00
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Fantasque Sans Mono-15"))
#+END_SRC
2016-09-18 00:03:16 +02:00
* Internal border
For aesthetics I like to have a thick border on the inside of my
Emacs window. I have the same border in URxvt, but I haven't found
out how to add it to Conkeror yet.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(internal-border-width . 15))
#+END_SRC
* Menu bar
I don't use the menu bar, so it just takes up space.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(menu-bar-mode -1)
#+END_SRC
* Tool bar
I don't use the tool bar, so it just takes up space.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(tool-bar-mode -1)
#+END_SRC
* Scroll bar
I don't use the scroll bar to either navigate my buffers or see
whereabouts I am, so they just take up space.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
#+END_SRC
* Whitespace
I hate it when trailing whitespace is left around a file. I've been
using this for years, and apart from having some trouble working
with people who don't pay attention to it, it has worked flawlessly.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library destroy-trailing-whitespace
:path "vendor-lisp/destroy-trailing-whitespace")
(require 'destroy-trailing-whitespace)
(global-destroy-trailing-whitespace-mode)
#+END_SRC
Having a final newline at the end of the file is always a good
idea. Some programs just don't work without it and others produce
some strange results. Github diffs are an example.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq require-final-newline t)
#+END_SRC
2016-08-06 03:56:43 +02:00
* Long lines
By default Emacs wraps long lines around to the next line when they
reach the far end of the window. However I prefer to have them
truncated instead.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default truncate-lines t)
#+END_SRC
* Theme
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2016-08-06 03:55:58 +02:00
(ensure-library yoshi-theme
:path "vendor-lisp/yoshi-theme")
2016-08-06 20:36:34 +02:00
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
(concat user-emacs-directory "vendor-lisp/yoshi-theme"))
2016-08-06 03:55:58 +02:00
(load-theme 'yoshi :no-confirm)
#+END_SRC
2016-08-10 14:27:24 +02:00
* Diminish
I really don't need to see some of the minor modes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library diminish)
(require 'diminish)
#+END_SRC
* Ivy
Ivy is a completing read implementation that offers choises
vertically. I'm surprised how much I like it. I've tried Swiper
before and I didn't like that so much.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library ivy)
#+END_SRC
Also install the =flx= package to allow ivy to use fuzzy matching.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library flx)
#+END_SRC
Since I immediately use and enable Ivy, there's no need to autoload
it, so require it to keep the byte-compiler quiet.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'ivy)
#+END_SRC
2016-08-10 14:27:24 +02:00
Don't show that ivy is enabled in the mode-line. It's enabled
globally and I'll notice it from other things anyway (like it
showing up).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(diminish 'ivy-mode)
#+END_SRC
Enable fuzzy matching in Ivy.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq ivy-re-builders-alist '((t . ivy--regex-fuzzy))
ivy-initial-inputs-alist nil)
#+END_SRC
Enable Ivy.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ivy-mode)
#+END_SRC
* Counsel
Counsel is a group of functions that use Ivy to specialize on
certain built-in commands, such as M-x.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library counsel)
#+END_SRC
Since I enable Counsel mode immediately, there's no point in leaving
it to be autoloaded. Requiring it keeps the byte-compiler happy.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'counsel)
#+END_SRC
2016-09-27 02:41:55 +02:00
Hide dotfiles in =counsel-find-file=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq counsel-find-file-ignore-regexp "\\`\\.")
#+END_SRC
2016-08-28 01:19:21 +02:00
Enable Counsel.
2016-08-10 14:27:24 +02:00
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

2016-08-10 14:27:24 +02:00
#+END_SRC
2016-08-28 01:19:21 +02:00
Don't show that counsel is enabled in the mode-line. It's enabled
globally and I'll notice whenever I press M-x for example.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2016-08-28 01:19:21 +02:00
(diminish 'counsel-mode)
#+END_SRC
* Bookmarks
Save bookmarks in my data directory so my =user-emacs-directory= is less cluttered.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-when-compile (require 'bookmark))
(setq bookmark-default-file (oni:data-location "bookmarks"))
#+END_SRC
* Personal info
Set some personal info for, for example, Gnus to use.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq user-full-name "Tom Willemse"
user-mail-address "tom@ryuslash.org")
#+END_SRC
2016-10-06 23:06:49 +02:00
* Url browsing
Use Conkeror to open URLs.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-when-compile (require 'browse-url))
(with-eval-after-load 'browse-url
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-conkeror))
#+END_SRC
* Minor modes
** Paredit
Paredit is an awesome minor-mode to have when you write in any
lisp-like languages. It can feel rather strict and uncomfortable at
first, but once you get the hang of using it, you won't want to
live without it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library paredit)
#+END_SRC
2016-09-19 12:53:32 +02:00
Don't show that paredit is enabled, it should be obvious from the
effects it has. This will save some precious real-estate on my mode
line.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2016-09-19 12:56:00 +02:00
(with-eval-after-load 'paredit
(diminish 'paredit-mode))
2016-09-19 12:53:32 +02:00
#+END_SRC
** Electric indent mode
By default `electric-indent-mode' is enabled globally, but I prefer
to enable it locally where I need it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(electric-indent-mode -1)
#+END_SRC
Since Emacs 24 `electric-indent-mode' switches the behavior of the
C-j and RET keys. I prefer the original situation because my
muscle-memory still remembers to use C-j for newline-and-indent
behaviour.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun oni:switch-newline-keys ()
"Switch the C-j and RET keys in the local buffer."
(if electric-indent-mode
(progn

#+END_SRC

** Flycheck
Flycheck lets me see (compiler) errors, warnings and info messages
while writing code.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library flycheck)
#+END_SRC
When developing packages with Cask, some special care needs to be
taken to ensure the checkers work correctly.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ensure-library flycheck-cask)
(add-hook 'flycheck-mode-hook 'flycheck-cask-setup)
#+END_SRC
I disable the pylint and pyflakes checkers because they don't seem
to add much except noise when used together with flake8. Also
pylint seems hell-bent on making Python written like a
statically-typed langauge.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'flycheck
(mapc (lambda (c) (delq c flycheck-checkers))

#+END_SRC
Also show which columns messages appear in.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(flycheck-pos-tip-mode))
#+END_SRC
2016-08-10 14:27:24 +02:00
** Auto revert mode
ARev isn't very descriptive, and fairly wide. Use a font-awesome icon instead.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

** Auto fill mode
"Fill" is fine as a mode-line lighter, but I prefer something
shorter.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Hydra is an interesting way of managing keybindings, I want to
experiment.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Magit is a very nice interface to Git for Emacs. It allows you to
do just about anything with Git without leaving the comfort of your
Emacs session.

Tell Gnus I'm not a novice anymore. One of the features of Gnus I
use a lot is deleting messages and as long as Gnus thinks I'm a
novice it will ask me if I'm sure every single time.

* Custom
Put the customize settings in a different file so that Emacs doesn't
have to modify this file whenever something changes through
customize. I put this into my init file last so any settings made in
there *can* overwrite the ones in the rest of the file, not that I
usually like to do that.
