Installation
My personal emacs configuration
(Heavily) Inspired by the following configs:
This configuration requires the installation of :
- the GNU
globalpackage (for gtags) clang(for ivory)cmake(for ivory)llvm-libs(for cmake, somehow not a dependency on Manjaro when installing cmake)- Use python-pip to install
jedi,flake8,importmagicandautopep8(for elpy) ditaa(for ascii to image generation in org-mode)
When first checking out this config, run irony-install-server to make and install the irony-server.
General stuff
Unsorted
Collection of stuff that needs to be sorted…someday….maybe…
(global-set-key (kbd "M-p") 'fill-paragraph)
Macro's
Rebind the macro keys to Fx keys to give them a decent purpose.
(global-set-key [f9] 'start-kbd-macro)
(global-set-key [f10] 'end-kbd-macro)
(global-set-key [f11] 'call-last-kbd-macro)
Goto-line
Starting with Emacs 23.2, M-g g is bound to goto-line.
However, I find this too long. So rebind it:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-g") 'goto-line)
Rectangle
Most rectangle functions are by default mapped to something like C-x r (other-char).
I use string-insert-rectangle and query-replace-regexp quite a lot,
so rebind it to something easy to remember.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x r i") 'string-insert-rectangle)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x r r") 'query-replace-regexp)
Garbage collection (gc)
I used to have the following enabled in my init to increase the gc threshold to speed-up emacs startup: (stolen from http://bling.github.io/blog/2016/01/18/why-are-you-changing-gc-cons-threshold/)
;; (setq gc-cons-threshold 100000000)
But according to this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2007-06/msg00243.html , it is no longer necessary.
Yes-or-no questions
Because I'm lazy, important yes-or-no questions can be answered with y-or-n:
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
Emacs fullscreen at startup
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(fullscreen . maximized))
Enable disabled commands
Some commands are disabled to protect the user. Narrow-region/page is a really handy feature, enable it:
(put 'narrow-to-page 'disabled nil)
(put 'narrow-to-region 'disabled nil)
Buffers
Why is this not built-in?
(defun kill-all-buffers ()
"Kill all buffers without regard for their origin."
(interactive)
(mapc 'kill-buffer (buffer-list)))
Helping vim-users
(defconst wq "This is not vi! Use C-x C-c instead.")
(defconst w "This is not vi! Use C-x C-s instead.")
(defconst q! "This is EMACS not vi! Use C-x C-c instead.")
(defconst wq! "This is EMACS not vi! Use C-x C-c instead.")
Backup files
Disable the generation of backup-files, I don't use them.
(setq make-backup-files nil)
Theme
(use-package monokai-theme
:ensure t
:init
(load-theme 'monokai t)
)
Highlight line
Highlight line will highlight the current line we are on. Enable highlight-line globally and replace its background colour.
(global-hl-line-mode 1)
(set-face-background hl-line-face "dark slate grey")
Dashboard
I use the dashboard as start screen.
Since I like it to give me a list of recent files, we need to enable recentf-mode.
(use-package dashboard
:ensure t
:init
(recentf-mode 1)
:config
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
(setq dashboard-startup-banner "~/.emacs.d/img/dash_logo.png")
(setq dashboard-items '((recents . 10)
(bookmarks . 5)
))
(setq dashboard-banner-logo-title "")
)
Zygospore
Revert C-x 1 by pressing C-x 1 again:
https://github.com/louiskottmann/zygospore.el
FYI: At one point, used this together with sr-speedbar. They did not play well together…
(use-package zygospore
:ensure t
:config
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x 1") 'zygospore-toggle-delete-other-windows)
)
Mode-line
https://github.com/Malabarba/smart-mode-line
(use-package smart-mode-line
:ensure t
:config
(setq sml/no-confirm-load-theme t)
(setq sml/theme 'respectful)
(sml/setup)

Editing settings
Kill-ring customization
Setting kill-whole-line to non-nil means when we execute C-k at the beginning of a line
will the entire line including the following newline will be deleted.
(setq kill-ring-max 5000) ; increase kill-ring capacity
(setq kill-whole-line t)
Newline at end-of-file
(setq mode-require-final-newline t) ; add a newline to end of file
Enable column numbers
(setq column-number-mode 1)
Look-and-feel modifications
Remove scroll-, tool- and menu-bar. I don't use them so free some space.
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
Tab-width
Set the default tab width.
(setq-default tab-width 4)
Automatic indent
Automatically indent when pressing RET.
(global-set-key (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent)
Delete trailing whitespace
Automatically delete trailing whitespace when saving a file.
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)
Angry faces
;; make angry face to get my attention
(setq prog-modes '(c++-mode python-mode erlang-mode java-mode c-mode emacs-lisp-mode scheme-mode prog-mode))
(make-face 'font-lock-angry-face)

;; Add keywords to recognize to angry face
(mapc (lambda (mode)

prog-modes)
(mapc (lambda (mode)
(font-lock-add-keywords

prog-modes)
C Coding settings
Some basic C-coding settings (style, indentation offset, …).
;; default coding style
(setq c-default-style "linux")
;; sane indentation offset
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
Tabs vs spaces
Tabs are evil.
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
Undo-tree
Undo with C-/.
(use-package undo-tree
:ensure t
:config
(global-undo-tree-mode)

iedit

Expand-region
Expand region increases the selected region by semantic units.
I also enable pending-delete-mode, this means when we mark a region and start typing,
the text within the mark is deleted with the new typed text and the mark disappears.

Windooze
When we use windows as our bootloader, we have to setup some things first:
;; Windows performance tweaks
;;
(when (boundp 'w32-pipe-read-delay)
(setq w32-pipe-read-delay 0))
;; Set the buffer size to 64K on Windows (from the original 4K)
(when (boundp 'w32-pipe-buffer-size)
(setq irony-server-w32-pipe-buffer-size (* 64 1024)))
;; Set pipe delay to 0 to reduce latency of irony
(setq w32-pipe-read-delay 0)
;; From "setting up irony mode on Windows" :
;; Make sure the path to clang.dll is in emacs' exec_path and shell PATH.
(setenv "PATH"
(concat
"C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin" ";"
"C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin" ";"
(getenv "PATH")
)
)
(setq exec-path (append '("c:/msys64/usr/bin" "c:/alt/msys64/mingw64/bin")

To be fair, I didn't test this in a while…
