Emacs init
Startup
Startup requires a bit of customization to handle all my customizations.
Load paths
I have two versions of Emacs installed on my main computer. I have
a daily build of Emacs's trunk (or currently emacs-24) branch from
bazaar and I have the official emacs package from archlinux
installed. I keep that second one around so that the occasional
emacs package that I install using pacman will recognize it as a
dependency and so that if there has been some horrible mistake in
the trunk branch I still have a stable version to fall back
on1.
Package initialization
In order for packages installed through ELPA to be included without having to mess with load paths and such, use:
(package-initialize)site-lisp
Because of the setup I wrote about I need to have both the
self-built site-lisp directory in my load path and the "official"
one.
(mapc #'oni:add-all-to-load-path
'("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp"
"/usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp"))
The oni:add-all-to-load-path function just binds default-directory
to the given directory and calls
normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path to add it and all its
subdirectories to the load path.
(defun oni:add-all-to-load-path (dir)
(add-to-list 'load-path dir)
(let ((default-directory dir))
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)))TODO Add load paths in different order depending on version
The officially installed version should load
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp before
/usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/sit-lisp and the bzr version should
do the reversed.
Projects
Then there are some projects I'm working on, which I use on a
daily basis, these should also be added so I don't have to
constantly remove and re-install them through package.el when
working on them. And there is the load-defs.el in my personal
site-lisp directory of course.
(mapc #'oni:add-to-load-path-maybe-load-defs
'("~/projects/emacs/dispass.el" "~/var/src/emacs/mode-icons"
"~/.emacs.d/site-lisp"))
The oni:add-to-load-path-maybe-load-defs function just adds the
given directory to the load path and then looks for a file named
loaddefs.el within that directory, if it exists it loads it.
(defun oni:add-to-load-path-maybe-load-defs (dir)
(add-to-list 'load-path dir)
(let ((loaddefs (concat dir "/loaddefs.el")))
(when (file-exists-p loaddefs)
(load loaddefs))))Themes
And, finally, I'm also working on a color theme for emacs, this
should be added to custom-theme-load-path. By using mapc here as
well I'm keeping in mind that this isn't the first theme I've
worked on and it might not be the last either.
(mapc #'oni:add-to-custom-theme-load-path
'("~/projects/emacs/yoshi-theme"))
The oni:add-to-custom-theme-load-path just adds the given
directory to the cutom theme load path.
(defun oni:add-to-custom-theme-load-path (dir)
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path dir))Evaluation
Because during byte-compilation certain parts loaded so far might
also be required I put it in an eval-and-compile form, so that all
components are loaded with emacs -Q as well. Without this
compilation might fail at certain points.
(eval-and-compile
<<add-all>>
<<add-with-loaddefs>>
<<add-themes>>
<<package-initialize>>
<<load-site-lisps>>
<<load-projects>>
<<load-themes>>)Modules
While I try to use eval-after-load and autoload as much as
possible, some things require direct require'ing to be of use.
Require
-
auto-complete-config - This sets up some default settings to
make
auto-completework for most2 of the modes it supports.
(require 'auto-complete-config)-
geiser-install - Sets up geiser autoloads and such.
(require 'geiser-install)-
uniquify - Provides more helpful buffer name uniquification.
The default of using
buffer-name<2>is boring and uninformative,uniquifyfixes this.
(require 'uniquify)-
ext - Functions from external sources.
-
oni - Functions written personally.
(require 'ext)
(require 'oni)Autoload
These might not be used at all in a session, so they should only be loaded when necessary.
define-slime-contrib was used by some module that didn't autoload
or require it3. But since I don't use whichever model it
was every day, it is of no use to load it every single time.
(autoload 'define-slime-contrib "slime")
I installed global with pacman, but this doesn't add anything to
any loaddefs.el, so doesn't create any autoloads.
(autoload 'gtags-mode "gtags" nil t)
jabber.el does create jabber-autoloads.el, but I only ever start
using it through jabber-connect, so anything else isn't really
necessary.
(autoload 'jabber-connect "jabber" nil t)
I used to work a bit on php-mode, but that was a while ago, so
it's still in my site-lisp directory.
(autoload 'php-mode "php-mode" nil t)
The same that goes for gtags.el also goes for po-mode.el.
(autoload 'po-mode "po-mode" nil t)
And the same that went for php-mode also goes for pony-mode,
except I'm still working on it and I was too lazy to put it with
my other projects. I should still do that.
(autoload 'pony-mode "pony-mode" nil t)
sawfish.el has the same problem that gtags.el and po-mode.el have.
(autoload 'sawfish-mode "sawfish" nil t)
I use server-running-p to check whether or not I should start a
new server, but this function isn't autoloaded by default.
(autoload 'server-running-p "server")
I was starting to try slime-js to make JavaScript programming
more interesting, but I haven't gotten around to trying it out
fully, yet. It shares issues with gtags.el, po-mode.el and
sawfish.el.
(autoload 'slime-js-minor-mode "slime-js" nil t)
I found xmodmap-mode on the EmacsWiki some time ago, it was
simple and a good example of how to use define-generic-mode, but
since it's not really my project and it's really small it just
sits in my site-lisp directory.
(autoload 'xmodmap-mode "xmodmap-mode" nil t)
w3m also has a setup module like geiser-install, but since I only
ever use these two functions to start it, there is no real need
for anything else.
(autoload 'w3m-bookmark-view "w3m" nil t)
(autoload 'w3m-goto-url "w3m" nil t)Aliases
There are some functions that are just better than others, no matter how politically incorrect it might be to admit.
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
(defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
(defalias 'dabbrev-expand 'hippie-expand)Faces
Define faces for use with magit log edit mode.
(defface git-commit-summary-face
'((t (:inherit org-level-1)))
"Face for the git title line."
:group 'local)
(defface git-commit-overlong-summary-face
'((t (:background "#873732")))
"Face for commit titles that are too long."
:group 'local)
(defface git-commit-nonempty-second-line-face
'((t (:inherit git-commit-overlong-summary-face)))
"Face for the supposedly empty line in commit messages."
:group 'local)Keys
With the awesome power of Emacs comes the need for lots of keybindings.
Translation
Since the C-l combination is so much easier than C-j when using
the colemak keyboard layout and C-j is used so much more, switch
them.
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "C-j") (kbd "C-l"))
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "C-l") (kbd "C-j"))
