Emacs init

Disable the menu-bar-mode, tool-bar-mode and scroll-bar-mode early on so the disappear quickly after emacs starts up.

  (menu-bar-mode -1)
  (scroll-bar-mode -1)
  (tool-bar-mode -1)

Define a macro for deferring code until after emacs has started up.

  (defmacro eval-after-init (&rest body)
    "Defer execution of BODY until after Emacs init."
    `(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook #'(lambda () ,@body)))

Add /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp and /usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp and all their sub-directories to the load-path so I can use modules from both Emacs from the official repository and the self-compiled one.

This should be done both when compiling the elisp file and when loading it so it doesn't complain about missing modules and such.

  (eval-and-compile
    (defun oni:path-init (dir)
      "Add DIR to `load-path' and all its subdirectories, unless
      DIR is already in `load-path'."
      (unless (or (member dir load-path) (not (file-exists-p dir)))
        (let ((default-directory dir))
          (add-to-list 'load-path dir t)
          (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))))
    (oni:path-init "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp")
    (oni:path-init "/usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp"))

Defer loading my theme until after emacs initialization. This is because it has been installed with package.el, and the packages aren't added to the load-path until after init.el has been run through.

  (eval-after-init (load-theme 'yoshi t))

Add some of my project directories and other important directories into load-path so I can easily load libraries in them. Also, if it exists, load loaddefs.el in each directory for autoloads.

  (mapc #'(lambda (dir)
            (add-to-list 'load-path dir)
            (let ((loaddefs (concat dir "/loaddefs.el")))
              (when (file-exists-p loaddefs)
                (load loaddefs))))
        '("~/projects/emacs/mode-icons" "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp"
          "~/projects/emacs/pony-mode/src" "~/projects/emacs/php-mode"
          "/usr/local/org-mode/share/emacs/site-lisp/org"))

Replace the question of yes or no with just y or n, I have never (yet) accidentally typed a y or n when asked and typing yes or no is just too much work.

  (defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)

Replace these functions with better alternatives. They offer the same functionality, plus more.

  (defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
  (defalias 'dabbrev-expand 'hippie-expand)
  (setq compilation-scroll-output t)
  (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)
  (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)
  (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)
  (add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)

flymake

Load flymake-cursor after loading flymake, add Python and Go to "allowed" files and add go error output to error patterns.

  (defun oni:flymake-init ()
    "Initialization function for flymake."
    (require 'flymake-cursor)

    (add-to-list                          ; Make sure pyflakes is loaded

     '("\\.go$" flymake-simple-make-init)))

  (eval-after-load "flymake" '(oni:flymake-init))

Disable the GUI for flymake errors. This causes the flymake errors to be shown in the minibuffer.

  (setq flymake-gui-warnings-enabled nil)

Add a bunch of pep8, flymake and pyflakes messages to warning and info patterns, set the log file to somewhere in my home directory and set logging level to 0.

  (setq flymake-info-line-regexp

flycheck

After loading flycheck Remove the default python checkers and replace them with my own, which tries both flake8 and pylint.

  (eval-after-load "flycheck"
    '(progn
       (mapc (lambda (c) (delete c flycheck-checkers))
             '(python-pylint python-pyflakes))))

pretty-control-l-mode

Make the C-l look like a line of - up to fill-column or fci-rule-column and remove the string displayed before the C-l.

  (defun oni:pretty-control-l-function (win)
    "Just make a string of either `fci-rule-column' or
  `fill-column' length -1. Use the `-' character. WIN is ignored."
    (make-string

             fci-rule-column fill-column)) ?-))

  (setq pp^L-^L-string-function 'oni:pretty-control-l-function)

Remove the string displayed before the C-l.

  (setq pp^L-^L-string-pre nil)

Enable pretty-control-l-mode at startup and whenever a new frame is created.

  (add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'pretty-control-l-mode)
  (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
            '(lambda (arg) (pretty-control-l-mode)))

erc

Automatically join some channels when connecting to freenode.net.

  (setq erc-autojoin-channels-alist
        '(("freenode.net" "#ninthfloor" "#emacs")))

Don't show PART messages.

  (setq erc-hide-list '("PART"))

Insert a timestamp every time a message comes in, print it on the left and print the hour and minute parts of the time.

  (setq erc-insert-timestamp-function 'erc-insert-timestamp-left)
  (setq erc-timestamp-format "[%H:%M] ")
  (setq erc-timestamp-only-if-changed-flag nil)

Set my nickname.

  (setq erc-nick "ryuslash")

When starting ERC disable truncating lines, don't let ERC fill each line and enable visual-line-mode.

  (defun oni:erc-mode-func ()

    (visual-line-mode)
    (setq truncate-lines nil))

eshell

Add unison to the list of eshell-visual-commands because it expects unbuffered input and eshell just doesn't give that.

  (eval-after-load "em-term"
    '(add-to-list 'eshell-visual-commands "unison"))

Don't let eshell highlight it's prompt, this way I can decide the colors for it myself.

  (setq eshell-highlight-prompt nil)

In the prompt:

  • Show the exit status of the last program/command run represented by a green + and a red - sign.
  • Show the current hostname with the mode-line-buffer-id face.
  • Show an abbreviation of the current directory (as seen in fish) using the font-lock-string-face face.
  • If we're in a git repository, show the current branch with the font-lock-function-name-face face.
  • Show the status of priviledges in blue.

And set the eshell-prompt-regexp to

Don't truncate lines in eshell, wrap them.

bidi

Disable bi-directional text, since I don't write right-to-left myself and I don't know anyone who does. I have read that it is a bad idea to disable it completely, but forcing left-to-right should help.

  (setq-default bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right)

disabled

There are some functions which get disabled by default because they "confuse new users", but these I like using.

  (put 'upcase-region 'disabled nil)

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

Keep track of what was said to and by my contacts, both for "personal" chats and muc chats.

Store history on a per-contact basis and keep these files in $HOME/.emacs.d/jabber-hist.

  (setq jabber-use-global-history nil

Open files in the selected window when switching between buffers.

minibuffer

A new feature in Emacs 24.3 can shorten (default ...) to [...] when prompting for something. The minibuffer-eldef-shorten-default should be set before enabling the minibuffer-electric-default-mode.
