Tom-Emacs Interface

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.

  ;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

Package configuration

Require package.el since I immediately start using its variables and functions anyway, no need to delay loading.

  (require 'package)

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.

  (eval-and-compile
    (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
    (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")))

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.

  (eval-and-compile (package-initialize))

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.

  (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))
    (let ((buffer-var (cl-gensym))
          (error-var (cl-gensym)))
     `(with-temp-buffer
        (let ((,buffer-var (current-buffer)))
          (cl-letf (((symbol-function 'message)
                     (lambda (msg &rest args)
                       (with-current-buffer ,buffer-var
                         (insert "  " (apply 'format msg args) "\n")))))
            (condition-case ,error-var
                (progn ,@body)
              (error
               (princ ,(concat title " output:\n"))
               (princ (with-current-buffer ,buffer-var (buffer-string)))
               (princ "Error:\n")
               (princ "  ")
               (princ (cadr ,error-var))
               (princ "\n"))))))))

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.

  (eval-when-compile
    (silently "Refresh packages"
      (package-refresh-contents)))

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

  (defmacro ensure-library (library &rest args)
    "Make sure LIBRARY is installed.

  ARGS should be a plist which may contain one of the following options:

  - :package

    Specify which package should actually be installed to ensure
    the library named in LIBRARY exists.

  - :path

    Specify a path to add to the load path to be able to load this
    package."
    (declare (indent 1))
    (let ((library-symbol (cl-gensym))
          (package-symbol (cl-gensym))
          (path-symbol (cl-gensym))
          (package (or (plist-get args :package) library))
          (path (plist-get args :path)))
      `(progn
         (eval-and-compile
           (let ((,path-symbol ,path))
             (if ,path-symbol
                 (add-to-list 'load-path
                              (if (file-name-absolute-p ,path-symbol)
                                  ,path-symbol
                                (concat user-emacs-directory ,path-symbol))))))
         (eval-when-compile
           (let ((,library-symbol ',library)
                 (,package-symbol ',package))
             (unless (require ,library-symbol nil :noerror)
               (package-install ,package-symbol)
               (require ,library-symbol)))))))

Site lisp

Setup everything so that any autoloads in site-lisp/ get loaded and can be used.

  (eval-and-compile
    (add-to-list 'load-path (locate-user-emacs-file "site-lisp/"))
    (let ((loaddefs (locate-user-emacs-file "site-lisp/site-autoloads.el")))
      (when (file-exists-p loaddefs)
        (load loaddefs))))

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.

  (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))

I also wrote a test for it.

  (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-")))))

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.

  (setq backup-directory-alist `((".*" . ,(oni:data-location "backup-files/"))))

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.

  (add-to-list 'auto-save-file-name-transforms
               `(".*" ,(oni:data-location "auto-save-files/") t) :append)

Place the files which contain the auto save files in a similar directory.

  (setq auto-save-list-file-prefix (oni:data-location "auto-save-list/.saves-"))

Tabs

Generally I prefer using spaces over tabs. Especially for lisp-like languages.

  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

A tab-width of 8 is too wide for me, and 2 is too narrow. 4 is just right.

  (setq-default tab-width 4)

Font

Set the default font to a more pleasing one, in my opinion, with a better size as well.

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Fantasque Sans Mono-15"))

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.

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(internal-border-width . 15))

Menu bar

I don't use the menu bar, so it just takes up space.

  (menu-bar-mode -1)

Tool bar

I don't use the tool bar, so it just takes up space.

  (tool-bar-mode -1)

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.

  (scroll-bar-mode -1)

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.

  (ensure-library destroy-trailing-whitespace
    :path "vendor-lisp/destroy-trailing-whitespace")
  (require 'destroy-trailing-whitespace)
  (global-destroy-trailing-whitespace-mode)

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.

  (setq require-final-newline t)

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.

  (setq-default truncate-lines t)

Theme

  (ensure-library yoshi-theme
    :path "vendor-lisp/yoshi-theme")
  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
               (concat user-emacs-directory "vendor-lisp/yoshi-theme"))
  (load-theme 'yoshi :no-confirm)

Diminish

I really don't need to see some of the minor modes.

  (ensure-library diminish)
  (require 'diminish)

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.

  (ensure-library ivy)

Also install the flx package to allow ivy to use fuzzy matching.

  (ensure-library flx)

Since I immediately use and enable Ivy, there's no need to autoload it, so require it to keep the byte-compiler quiet.

  (require 'ivy)

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).

  (diminish 'ivy-mode)

Enable fuzzy matching in Ivy.

  (setq ivy-re-builders-alist '((t . ivy--regex-fuzzy))
        ivy-initial-inputs-alist nil)

Enable Ivy.

  (ivy-mode)

Counsel

Counsel is a group of functions that use Ivy to specialize on certain built-in commands, such as M-x.

  (ensure-library counsel)

Since I enable Counsel mode immediately, there's no point in leaving it to be autoloaded. Requiring it keeps the byte-compiler happy.

  (require 'counsel)

Hide dotfiles in counsel-find-file.

  (setq counsel-find-file-ignore-regexp "\\`\\.")

Enable Counsel.

  (counsel-mode)

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.

  (diminish 'counsel-mode)

Bookmarks

Save bookmarks in my data directory so my user-emacs-directory is less cluttered.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'bookmark))
  (setq bookmark-default-file (oni:data-location "bookmarks"))

Personal info

Set some personal info for, for example, Gnus to use.

  (setq user-full-name "Tom Willemse"
        user-mail-address "tom@ryuslash.org")

Automatic alignment

Emacs has some powerful automatic alignment features.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'align))

CSS

Align CSS files like so:

  body        { color: #ffffff;            }
  .some-class { background-color: #ffffff; }
  #some-id    { width: 200px;              }

  .some-more-class {
      color:            #ffffff;
      background-color: #ffffff;
      width:            200px;
  }
  (with-eval-after-load 'align
    ;; Keep these in order. They are each added to the _front_ of the
    ;; list and are applied in order. Changing their order will change
    ;; the results.
    (add-to-list 'align-rules-list
                 `(css-closing-brace
                   (regexp . ,(rx (group (0+ whitespace)) "}" eol))
                   (group . (1))
                   (modes . '(scss-mode css-mode))))
    (add-to-list 'align-rules-list
                 `(css-colons
                   (regexp . ,(rx bol
                                  (0+ whitespace)
                                  (1+ (any (?a . ?z) ?- ?$))
                                  ":"
                                  (group (0+ whitespace))
                                  (0+ nonl)
                                  ";"
                                  eol))
                   (group . (1))
                   (modes . '(scss-mode css-mode))
                   (repeat . t)))
    (add-to-list 'align-rules-list
                 `(css-opening-brace
                   (regexp . ,(rx bol
                                  (0+ whitespace)
                                  (0+ (any ?# ?. ?, ?\s ?& ?: ?-
                                           (?a . ?z) (?A . ?Z) (?0 . ?9)))
                                  (any (?a . ?z) (?A . ?Z) (?0 . ?9))
                                  (group (0+ whitespace))
                                  "{"
                                  (0+ nonl)))
                   (group . (1))
                   (modes . '(scss-mode css-mode)))))

PHP

In PHP code it's nice to have any => aligned.

  <?php
  array(
      'foo'  => 'bar',
      'frob' => 'baz'
  );
  ?>
  (with-eval-after-load 'align
    (add-to-list 'align-rules-list
                 `(php-array-arrow
                   (regexp . ,(rx any (group whitespace) "=>" any))
                   (group . (1))
                   (modes . '(php-mode web-mode))
                   (repeat . t))))

Url browsing

Use Conkeror to open URLs.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'browse-url))

  (with-eval-after-load 'browse-url
    (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-conkeror))

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.

  (ensure-library paredit)

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.

  (with-eval-after-load 'paredit
    (diminish 'paredit-mode))

Electric indent mode

By default `electric-indent-mode' is enabled globally, but I prefer to enable it locally where I need it.

  (electric-indent-mode -1)

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.

  (defun oni:switch-newline-keys ()
    "Switch the C-j and RET keys in the local buffer."
    (if electric-indent-mode
        (progn
          (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'newline)
          (local-set-key (kbd "RET") 'electric-newline-and-maybe-indent))
      (local-unset-key (kbd "C-j"))
      (local-unset-key (kbd "RET"))))

  (add-hook 'electric-indent-local-mode-hook #'oni:switch-newline-keys)

Flycheck

Flycheck lets me see (compiler) errors, warnings and info messages while writing code.

  (ensure-library flycheck)

When developing packages with Cask, some special care needs to be taken to ensure the checkers work correctly.

  (ensure-library flycheck-cask)
  (add-hook 'flycheck-mode-hook 'flycheck-cask-setup)

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.

  (with-eval-after-load 'flycheck
    (mapc (lambda (c) (delq c flycheck-checkers))
          '(python-pylint python-pyflakes)))

Also show which columns messages appear in.

  (with-eval-after-load 'flycheck
    (setq flycheck-highlighting-mode 'columns))

Show the error message at point in a tooltip.

  (ensure-library flycheck-pos-tip)

  (with-eval-after-load 'flycheck
    (require 'flycheck-pos-tip)
    (flycheck-pos-tip-mode))

Auto revert mode

ARev isn't very descriptive, and fairly wide. Use a font-awesome icon instead.

  (with-eval-after-load 'autorevert
    (diminish 'auto-revert-mode
              (propertize (concat "  " (char-to-string #xf021))
                          'face '(:family "Font Awesome" :height 0.75))))

Auto fill mode

"Fill" is fine as a mode-line lighter, but I prefer something shorter.

  (diminish 'auto-fill-function
            (propertize (concat "  " (char-to-string #xf149))
                        'face '(:family "Font Awesome" :height 0.75)))

Diff highlight mode

Show the state of lines added, changed and removed since the last commit.

  (ensure-library diff-hl)
  (require 'diff-hl)
  (global-diff-hl-mode)

Hydra

Hydra is an interesting way of managing keybindings, I want to experiment.

  (ensure-library hydra)

Add a hydra for org.

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c o") 'oni-hydra-org/body)

Add a hydra for magit.

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c m") 'oni-hydra-magit/body)

Isearch

Replace the Isearch mode line lighter with a magnifying glass icon.

  (diminish 'isearch-mode
            (propertize (concat "  " (char-to-string #xf002))
                        'face '(:family "Font Awesome" :height 0.75)))

Major modes

Emacs lisp mode

Enable paredit mode.

  (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

Scheme mode

Enable paredit mode.

  (add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

Add scsh to the list of known interpreters for scheme mode. This way shell-scripts that don't have a file extension but specify scsh as the interpreter are opened in scheme mode.

  (add-to-list 'interpreter-mode-alist '("scsh" . scheme-mode))

Inferior Emacs lisp mode (ielm)

Enable paredit mode.

  (add-hook 'ielm-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

Mbsync configuration mode

I wrote a simple major-mode for editing my .mbsyncrc file. I might release it as a package, but for now I keep it with the rest of my configuration.

  (ensure-library mbsync-conf-mode
    :path "vendor-lisp/mbsync-conf-mode")

Since it isn't installed by package.el, I need to specify the autoload myself.

  (autoload 'mbsync-conf-mode "mbsync-conf-mode"
    "Major mode for editing mbsync configuration files."
    :interactive)

I also need to add it to the auto-mode-alist so .mbsyncrc is opened with mbsync conf mode.

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.mbsyncrc\\'" . mbsync-conf-mode))

Msmtprc mode

I wrote a simple major-mode for editing my .msmtprc file. I might release it as a package, but for now I keep it with the rest of my configuration.

  (ensure-library msmtprc-mode
    :path "vendor-lisp/msmtprc-mode")

Since it isn't installed by package.el, I need to specify the autoload myself.

  (autoload 'msmtprc-mode "msmtprc-mode"
    "Major mode for editing msmtp configuration files."
    :interactive)

I also need to add it to the auto-mode-alist so .msmtprc is opened with msmtprc mode.

  (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.msmtprc\\'" . msmtprc-mode))

Git commit mode

Enable electric-quote-local-mode to easily type nice-looking quotes while writing commits.

  (add-hook 'git-commit-mode-hook 'electric-quote-local-mode)

Python mode

Enable electric pair mode.

  (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'electric-pair-local-mode)

Enable syntax and style checking with flycheck.

  (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)

Web mode

Web mode is a good general-purpose web template mode. It works well with many template languages and PHP as well.

  (ensure-library web-mode)

Enable a specialized whitespace mode for web mode that shows tabs at the beginning of a line.

  (add-hook 'web-mode-hook 'oni-whitespace-only-tabs-mode)

Makefile mode

Show tabs in Makefiles. Tabs are required at the beginning of any non-continuation line in a recipe. I don't use it for indenting, however.

  (add-hook 'makefile-mode-hook 'oni-whitespace-only-tabs-mode)

Enable electric pairing.

  (add-hook 'makefile-mode-hook 'electric-pair-local-mode)

CSS mode

Enable electric indent mode.

  (add-hook 'css-mode-hook 'electric-indent-local-mode)

Clojure mode

  (ensure-library clojure-mode)

Install extra font-locking for clojure.

  (ensure-library clojure-mode-extra-font-locking)

  (with-eval-after-load 'clojure-mode
    (require 'clojure-mode-extra-font-locking))

Enable paredit mode.

  (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

Use the clojure repl as the inferior lisp mode.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'inf-lisp))

  (defun oni:clojure-set-inferior-lisp ()
    (setq inferior-lisp-program "lein repl"))

Add a little more font locking still, and some indentation. This is included in the Clojure for the Brave and True configuration.

  (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'oni-clojure-add-font-lock)
  (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'oni-clojure-add-indent)

Cider mode

Cider is like Slime for Common Lisp. This configuration is copied from the one provided by Clojure for the Brave and True.

  (ensure-library cider)

Provides minibuffer documentation for the code you're typing into the repl.

  (add-hook 'cider-mode-hook 'cider-turn-on-eldoc-mode)

Go right to the REPL buffer when it's finished connecting

  (with-eval-after-load 'cider
    (setq cider-repl-pop-to-buffer-on-connect t))

When there's a cider error, show its buffer and switch to it.

  (setq cider-show-error-buffer t
        cider-auto-select-error-buffer t)

Where to store the cider history.

  (setq cider-repl-history-file
        (oni:data-location "cider-history"))

Wrap when navigating history.

  (setq cider-repl-wrap-history t)

Enable paredit in your REPL.

  (add-hook 'cider-repl-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

Applications

Magit

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.

  (ensure-library magit)

Show refined diffs in magit. This makes it much easier to see what has changed on a line.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'magit))

  (with-eval-after-load 'magit
    (setq magit-diff-refine-hunk 'all))

Gnus

Gnus is one of the most extensible Email programs on the planet. And it's not even made for email but NNTP.

Store all Gnus-related data in my data directory.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'gnus))

  (with-eval-after-load 'gnus
    (setq gnus-directory (oni:data-location "News")
          gnus-article-save-directory gnus-directory
          gnus-cache-directory gnus-directory
          gnus-kill-files-directory gnus-directory))

Store all Mail source-related data in my data directory.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'mail-source))

  (with-eval-after-load 'mail-source
    (setq mail-source-directory (oni:data-location "Mail")))

Store all message-related data in the same place as the Mail source data.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'message))

Add a keybinding to the Gnus summary mode to easily delete messages.

Linewise user-interface

This is the library used by Circe and Slack to display messages.

  (eval-when-compile (require 'lui))

Put the time stamp in lui buffers in the right margin. This gives the text some extra room.

  (with-eval-after-load 'lui
    (setq lui-time-stamp-position 'right-margin))

Remove the "[]" from the time stamp, it's not really necessary.

  (with-eval-after-load 'lui
    (setq lui-time-stamp-format "%H:%M"))

Give the right margin just enough room to show the time-stamps, no more, no less.

  (defun oni:set-circe-margin-width ()
    (setq right-margin-width 5))

  (add-hook 'lui-mode-hook #'oni:set-circe-margin-width)

Fix the wrap prefix so that text at the prompt is aligned properly.

  (add-hook 'lui-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)

Turn off filling in lui buffers. I use visual-line mode instead.

  (setq lui-fill-type nil)

Circe

I switched to Circe from ERC because I couldn't make the customizations I wanted to, Circe seems much better at this.

  (ensure-library circe)

Make sure that Emacs knows these function exist when the file is being compiled.

  (with-eval-after-load 'circe
    (add-to-list 'circe-network-options
                 `("Freenode"
                   :nick "ryuslash"
                   :channels ("#emacs"
                              "#mowedline"
                              "#ninthfloor"
                              "#dispass"
                              "#linuxvoice"
                              "#conkeror")
                   :nickserv-password
                   ,(oni-circe-get-password-for "irc.freenode.net"))))

Sometimes I watch some Twitch streams as well.

  (with-eval-after-load 'circe
    (add-to-list 'circe-network-options
                 `("Twitch"
                   :use-tls nil
                   :nick "ryuslash"
                   :host "irc.twitch.tv"
                   :pass ,(oni-circe-get-password-for "irc.twitch.tv")
                   :port 6667)))

Enable coloring of nicks.

  (with-eval-after-load 'circe

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'auto-fill-mode)

Jabber

I like using XMPP to talk to people, jabber.el is very good at this.

  (ensure-library jabber)
  (eval-when-compile (require 'jabber))

Add my account.

  (setq jabber-account-list
        `((,(concat "ryuslash@dukgo.com/" (system-name)))
          (:connection-type . starttls)))

Store any persistent data in the data directory.

  (setq jabber-avatar-cache-directory (oni:data-location "jabber/avatars/")
        jabber-history-dir (oni:data-location "jabber/hist/"))

Change the default prompts.

  (setq jabber-chat-buffer-format         "+%n"
        jabber-chat-foreign-prompt-format "%t %u"
        jabber-chat-local-prompt-format   "%t %u"
        jabber-chat-delayed-time-format   "%H:%M"
        jabber-groupchat-buffer-format    "++%n"
        jabber-groupchat-prompt-format    "%t %u")

Don't show avatars, publish or retrieve avatars.

  (setq jabber-chat-buffer-show-avatar nil
        jabber-vcard-avatars-publish   nil
        jabber-vcard-avatars-retrieve  nil)

  (add-hook 'jabber-roster-mode-hook 'oni-jabber-set-roster-mode-line)

Use libnotify to send jabber notifications.

  (add-hook 'jabber-alert-muc-hooks     'jabber-muc-libnotify)

Don't echo presence changes in the mode line, show them in the relevant buffer instead.

  (with-eval-after-load 'jabber-alert
    (remove-hook 'jabber-alert-presence-hooks 'jabber-presence-echo))

  (add-hook 'jabber-alert-presence-hooks 'oni-jabber-show-status-in-buffer)

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.

  (setq custom-file (concat user-emacs-directory "custom.el"))
  (load custom-file)
