Emacs init

GUI

These things should happen early, so that Emacs will look the way I want it to as quickly as is possible.

menu-bar-mode

Disable menu-bar-mode since I haven't used the menu bar much ever, even when I first started using Emacs.

  (menu-bar-mode -1)

scroll-bar-mode

Since Emacs gives a pretty good indication of where in the buffer I'm working I really don't need to have the scroll bar visible.

  (scroll-bar-mode -1)

tool-bar-mode

I've never used the tool bar much, so remove it.

  (tool-bar-mode -1)

load-path

Before doing anything else I should make sure that both the directories /usr/local/emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp and /usr/share/emacs/site-list are included in load-path, along with their subdirectories, but only if they haven't already been added and exist. Place them at the end of load-path so they don't mess up package precedence.

  (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"))

Add my project /ryuslash/legacy-dotfiles/src/commit/7856c942888afd7aafdbde09646c59d90cd5fe39/emacs/yoshi-theme to custom-theme-load-path and load it.

  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/projects/emacs/yoshi-theme/")
  (load-theme 'yoshi t)

Add any other interesting paths to load-path and, if it exists, load the loaddefs.el file from these directories.

  (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"))

y-or-n-p

Don't ask yes or no, ask y or n, I've never had an accidental y so far.

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

ibuffer

Use ibuffer instead of the default list-buffers because it has many more features.

  (defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)

hippie-expand

Do the same with hippie-expand and dabbrev-expand.

  (defalias 'dabbrev-expand 'hippie-expand)

eldoc

Don't show it when eldoc is running, I almost assume that it is whenever I'm working in a mode that supports it anyway. This should only execute once eldoc has been loaded.

  (eval-after-load "eldoc" '(diminish 'eldoc-mode))

emms

Use the standard EMMS configuration and add some MPD settings.

  (defun oni:emms-init ()
    "Initialization function for EMMS."
    (require 'emms-setup)
    (require 'emms-player-mpd)

    (emms-standard)

    (add-to-list 'emms-info-functions 'emms-info-mpd)
    (add-to-list 'emms-player-list 'emms-player-mpd)

    (setq emms-player-mpd-server-name "localhost")
    (setq emms-player-mpd-server-port "6600")
    (setq emms-player-mpd-music-directory "/mnt/music/mp3"))

  (eval-after-load "emms-source-file" '(oni:emms-init))
  (setq emms-source-file-default-directory "/mnt/music/")

Add some keybindings for EMMS.

  (defun oni:emms-toggle-playing ()
    "Toggle between playing/paused states."
    (interactive)
    (if (eq emms-player-playing-p nil)
        (emms-start)
      (emms-pause)))

  (defun oni:start-emms ()
    "Check to see if the function `emms' exists, if not call
  `emms-player-mpd-connect' and assume that will have loaded it."
    (interactive)
    (unless (fboundp 'emms)
      (emms-player-mpd-connect))
    (emms))

  (global-set-key (kbd "<XF86AudioNext>") 'emms-next)
  (global-set-key (kbd "<XF86AudioPlay>") 'oni:emms-toggle-playing)
  (global-set-key (kbd "<XF86AudioPrev>") 'emms-previous)
  (global-set-key (kbd "<XF86AudioStop>") 'emms-stop)
  (global-set-key (kbd "<XF86Tools>") 'oni:start-emms)

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
     'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks     ; for python files.
     '("\\.py\\'" ext:flymake-pyflakes-init))

    (add-to-list                          ; Error line repexp for go
     'flymake-err-line-patterns           ; compilation.
     '("^\\([a-zA-Z0-9_]+\\.go\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\(.*\\)$"
       1 2 nil 3))

    (add-to-list                          ; Go uses makefiles, makes
     'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks     ; flymaking 'easy'.
     '("\\.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
        (eval-when-compile
          (regexp-opt
           '("Invalid name"
             "String statement has no effect"
             "Missing docstring"

             "trailing whitespace"
             "imported but unused"
             "Unused import"
             "too many blank lines"))))
  (setq flymake-log-file-name (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/flymake.log"))
  (setq flymake-log-level 0)
  (setq flymake-warn-line-regexp
        (eval-when-compile
          (regexp-opt '("warning"
                        "Warning"

                        "no newline at end of file"
                        "Access to a protected member"))))

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
     (1- (if (boundp 'fci-rule-column)
             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 ()
    "Function for `erc-mode-hook'."
    (erc-fill-mode -1)
    (visual-line-mode)
    (setq truncate-lines nil))

  (add-hook 'erc-mode-hook 'oni:erc-mode-func)

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

  (defun oni:eshell-prompt-function ()
    "Show a pretty shell prompt."
    (let ((status (if (zerop eshell-last-command-status) ?+ ?-))
          (hostname (shell-command-to-string "hostname"))
          (dir (abbreviate-file-name (eshell/pwd)))
          (branch
           (shell-command-to-string
            "git branch --contains HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d'"))
          (userstatus (if (zerop (user-uid)) ?# ?$)))
      (concat
       (propertize (char-to-string status)
                   'face `(:foreground ,(if (= status ?+)
                                            "green"
                                          "red")))
       " "
       (propertize (substring hostname 0 -1) 'face 'mode-line-buffer-id)
       " "
       (propertize (oni:shorten-dir dir) 'face 'font-lock-string-face)
       " "
       (when (not (string= branch ""))
         (propertize
          ;; Cut off "* " and "\n"
          (substring branch 2 -1)
          'face 'font-lock-function-name-face))
       " \n"
       (propertize (char-to-string userstatus)
                   'face `(:foreground "blue"))
       "> ")))

  (setq eshell-prompt-function 'oni:eshell-prompt-function
        eshell-prompt-regexp "^[#$]> ")

Don't truncate lines in eshell, wrap them.

  (defun oni:eshell-mode-func ()
    "Function for `eshell-mode-hook'."
    (setq truncate-lines nil))

  (add-hook 'eshell-mode-hook 'oni:eshell-mode-func)

Bind the f8 key to easily show eshell.

  (defun oni:raise-eshell ()
    "Start or switch back to `eshell'.
  Also change directories to current working directory."
    (interactive)
    (let ((dir (file-name-directory
                (or (buffer-file-name) "~/")))
          (hasfile (not (eq (buffer-file-name) nil))))
      (eshell)
      (if (and hasfile (eq eshell-process-list nil))
          (progn
            (eshell/cd dir)
            (eshell-reset)))))

  (global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") 'oni:raise-eshell)

svg-mode-line-themes

After Emacs has initialized, enable svg-mode-line-themes and select a theme.

  (defun oni:enable-svg-mode-line-theme ()
    "Enable `svg-mode-line-theme' and select a theme."
    (smt/enable)
    (smt/set-theme 'black-crystal))

  (add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'oni:enable-svg-mode-line-theme)

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)
  (put 'downcase-region 'disabled nil)
  (put 'narrow-to-region 'disabled nil)
  (put 'scroll-left 'disabled nil)

jabber

Require jabber-libnotify so we can use its alert functions.

  (require 'jabber-libnotify)

Enable libnotify alerts for regular and mutli-user chats, this is preferable to seeing them in the echo area.

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

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

  (setq jabber-history-enabled t
        jabber-history-muc-enabled t)

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

  (setq jabber-use-global-history nil
        jabber-history-dir "~/.emacs.d/jabber-hist")
