#+TITLE: Emacs Configuration for Alan Pearce
#+OPTIONS: ^:nil
#+PROPERTY: results silent
#+PROPERTY: eval no-export
#+PROPERTY: header-args :comments link
* Introduction
This is a living document, detailing my Emacs configuration using org-mode
* Basics
** Startup
Open Emacs with just a plain window. No graphics or messages, please!
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(put 'inhibit-startup-echo-area-message 'saved-value
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message (user-login-name)))
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(setq gc-cons-threshold 100000000)
(setq file-name-handler-alist nil)
#+END_SRC
** Scratch buffers
I usually use scratch buffers for any sort of text. If I need a
programming mode in one, then I’ll just call it manually. I also like
the buffer to be empty.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq initial-scratch-message ""
initial-major-mode 'text-mode)
#+END_SRC
** Personal Information
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq user-mail-address "alan@alanpearce.co.uk"
user-full-name "Alan Pearce")
#+end_src
* Packaging
** Use-package
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-and-compile
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))
package-user-dir (concat "~/.emacs.d/packages/" emacs-version "/elpa")
package-pinned-packages '(("use-package" . melpa-stable)

(unless (featurep 'use-package)

:commands (use-package-autoload-keymap)
:defer 5))
(setq use-package-verbose t
use-package-always-ensure t
package-enable-at-startup nil)
#+END_SRC
* Customize
I don’t really like using customize for normal configuration.
Instead, I use it for things that get saved automatically. That’s why
I use a different file, which is ignored by the VCS. It also means
that it’s not important whether the file exists or not, which is why I
pass =:noerror= to =load=
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(load custom-file :noerror :nomessage)
#+END_SRC
* Styles
I prefer an always-visible cursor. Feels less distracting.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (fboundp #'blink-cursor-mode)
(blink-cursor-mode -1))
#+END_SRC
Disable all the bars, unless on OSX, in which case, keep the menu bar.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (and menu-bar-mode (not (eq window-system 'ns)))
(menu-bar-mode -1))
(with-eval-after-load 'scroll-bar
(set-scroll-bar-mode nil))
(with-eval-after-load 'tooltip
(tooltip-mode -1))
(with-eval-after-load 'tool-bar
(tool-bar-mode -1))
#+END_SRC
Ring the bell sometimes, but not so often
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq ring-bell-function
(lambda ()
(unless (memq this-command
'(isearch-abort abort-recursive-edit exit-minibuffer keyboard-quit undo-tree-undo))
(ding))))
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package dash)
#+END_SRC
** Colours
I quite like solarized. I don’t think it’s perfect, but it supports a
lot of modes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package solarized-theme
:disabled t
:config (progn
(setq solarized-distinct-fringe-background t)
(setq solarized-high-contrast-mode-line t)
(load-theme 'solarized-light t)))
#+END_SRC
Let’s try a more minimal theme.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package minimal-theme
:disabled t
:config (progn
(load-theme 'minimal-light t)))
#+END_SRC
Let’s try a basic theme.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package basic-theme
:config (progn
(load-theme 'basic t)
(set-face-background 'mode-line "#a1b56c")
(defvar mode-line-default-format mode-line-format)

(setq mode-line-default-hidden t)))
(setq-default cursor-type 'bar)
(setq-default cursor-in-non-selected-windows nil)
(defun hide-clutter ()
(interactive)
(fringe-mode '(0 . 4))
(hide-mode-line))
(defun show-clutter ()
(interactive)
(fringe-mode '(8 . 4))
(show-mode-line))
(hide-clutter)
(when mode-line-default-hidden
(call-interactively #'hide-mode-line))
(defun hide-mode-line-if-default-hidden ()
(if mode-line-default-hidden
(hide-mode-line)
(show-mode-line)))
(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #'hide-mode-line-if-default-hidden)
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'show-mode-line)
(add-hook 'minibuffer-exit-hook #'hide-mode-line)))
#+END_SRC
Highlighting quasi-quoted expressions in lisps is quite useful.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package highlight-stages
:diminish highlight-stages-mode
:config (progn
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-common-hook #'highlight-stages-mode)))
#+END_SRC
** Fonts
When possible, set up fonts. I don’t have any settings here for X11,
because I manage those in my [[file:~/projects/dotfiles/tag-xresources/xresources/main][XResources file]].
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (or (display-graphic-p)
(daemonp))
(defun use-variable-fonts ()
(interactive)
(variable-pitch-mode)
(setq cursor-type 'bar))
(defun ap/set-fonts (mono-face mono-font-size variable-face variable-font-size antialias)
(if (boundp 'ns-antialias-text)
(setq ns-antialias-text antialias))
(when mono-face
(let ((default-font (font-spec :family mono-face :size mono-font-size)))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist `(font . ,(format "%s %s" mono-face mono-font-size)))
(set-face-font 'fixed-pitch default-font)
(set-frame-font default-font t t)))
(when variable-face
(set-face-font 'variable-pitch (font-spec :name variable-face :size variable-font-size))))
(defun ap/set-fonts-according-to-system ()
(interactive)
(cond
((eq window-system 'w32)
(ap/set-fonts "Liberation Mono" 11 "Segoe UI" 11 t))
((eq window-system 'ns)
(let ((displays (string-to-number (shell-command-to-string "system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep \"Online: Yes\" | wc -l"))))
(if (eq displays 1)
(ap/set-fonts "SF Mono" 12 "Lucida Grande" 12 t)
(ap/set-fonts "Monaco" 10 "Lucida Grande" 12 nil))))
((eq window-system 'x)
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'unicode (font-spec :name "Terminus" :size 10))
(ap/set-fonts "Terminus" 10 "Lucida" 10 nil))))
(ap/set-fonts-according-to-system))
#+END_SRC
Reduce font decoration. I’m trying to see whether this helps me focus
on the right things.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration '((dired-mode . 1)
(t . 1)))
#+END_SRC
** Page Breaks
By default, Emacs displays page breaks as ^L. Lines look much nicer.
On Windows, Emacs incorrectly detects that U+2500 (Box Drawings Light
Horizontal) can only be displayed with a different font, which is not
correct, at least for Liberation Mono.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package page-break-lines
:defer 5
:diminish page-break-lines-mode
:config (progn
(global-page-break-lines-mode)
(unless (eq (char-displayable-p ?─) (char-displayable-p ?a))
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
(cons page-break-lines-char page-break-lines-char)
(face-attribute 'default :family)))))
#+END_SRC
** Modeline
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(column-number-mode t)
(size-indication-mode t)
(setq frame-title-format '("%f" (dired-directory dired-directory)))
#+END_SRC
** Highlight Changes
Highlight what just changed when I undo, yank, and so on.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package volatile-highlights
:diminish volatile-highlights-mode
:config (progn
(volatile-highlights-mode t)))
#+END_SRC
** Renaming major modes
Diminishing major modes does not happen in the same manner as minor
modes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package cyphejor
:defer 2
:config (progn
(setq cyphejor-rules `(("emacs" "ε")
("diff" "Δ")
("js2" "js")
("magit-status" ,(char-to-string (-find #'char-displayable-p '(11942 5848 177))))
("inferior" "i" :prefix)
("interaction" "i" :prefix)
("interactive" "i" :prefix)
("menu" "▤" :postfix)
("ledger" "Ledger")
("mode" "")
("shell" "sh" :postfix)))
(cyphejor-mode 1)))
#+END_SRC
* Environment Variables
MacOS doesn’t have a reasonable way to set environment variables and
read them automatically any more. So, let’s use the
[[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] package to set up ~exec-path~ and similar
variables from whatever my shell configuration is.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package exec-path-from-shell
:if (eq system-type 'darwin)
:init (exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
#+END_SRC
* Keybindings
I think =set-keyboard-coding-system= stops OS X from doing something
annoying to add accents. The modifier setup is to match my
re-arrangement of modifiers on OSX: Cmd on the outside, then
Option/alt, then Control.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (eq system-type 'darwin)

** Crux
I can replace most of the simple helper/wrapper functions in my
configuration with crux.el
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun switch-to-dotfiles ()

#+END_SRC
** The Silver Searcher
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
** Ripgrep
Step over Silver Search, here comes a new challenger.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

:bind (("C-c p s r" . projectile-ripgrep))
:ensure nil)
#+END_SRC
** Projectile
Projectile is awesome for working in projects, especially VCS-backed
ones. I added a couple of functions to allow me to open new projects
based upon some folder conventions I use.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package projectile
:bind (("C-c C-f" . projectile-find-file)

#+END_SRC
** perspective
This package makes buffer-switching inside of projects make sense, by
filtering the candidates to those within the project. For it to work,
it needs hooking into projectile and a key bound to switch between projects.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package perspective

** vc
This is nice for some things that magit doesn’t do, and for those rare
occasions that I’m working with something other than git.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package vc
:defer t
:bind (("C-x v C" . vc-resolve-conflicts))
:config (progn

vc-ignore-dir-regexp
tramp-file-name-regexp))))
#+END_SRC
** git-gutter-fringe
It’s nice to be able to see at a glance which lines of a file have
changed. This package colours the fringe. I have it set to the right
fringe so it doesn’t interfere with flycheck.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package git-gutter-fringe
:defer 2
:diminish git-gutter-mode
:config (progn

(setq git-gutter-fr:side 'right-fringe)))
#+END_SRC
** magit
Magit is my favourite way to use git. I use selective staging all the
time. Make sure to set it up with a nice =completing-read-function=
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
** git-timemachine
This package allow me to go through a file’s history with just a few
keys. It makes it very easy to figure what what exactly was in a file
in the past. I often find it useful when I remember writing something
a particular way, but it changed later.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package git-timemachine
:commands git-timemachine)
#+END_SRC
* Files
** Auto-saving
Auto-save everything to a temporary directory, instead of cluttering
the filesystem. I don’t want emacs-specific lockfiles, either.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,temporary-file-directory t))
create-lockfiles nil)
#+END_SRC
** Backups
I like to keep my backups out of regular folders. I tell emacs to use
a subfolder of its configuration directory for that. Also, use the
trash for deleting on OS X.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((backup-dir (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/backups/")))

#+END_SRC
** Encoding
UTF-8 is usually appropriate. Note that =prefer-coding-system= expects
only a coding system, not a coding system and line ending combination.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-auto-unix)
#+END_SRC
** Buffer-file management
Ask if I want to create a directory when it doesn’t exist. This is
especially nice when starting new projects.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-create-non-existent-directory ()

I often want to rename or delete the file that I’m currently visiting
with a buffer.

#+END_SRC
** Whitespace Butler
I don’t like it when editors change an entire file’s layout when I
open it. Whitespace butler fixes whitespace only for lines that I’m editing.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package ws-butler
:if window-system

#+END_SRC
** shrink-whitespace
DWIM whitespace removal. So I don’t need =M-SPC=, =M-\= and =C-x o=
for similar things any more.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package shrink-whitespace
:bind ("M-SPC" . shrink-whitespace))
#+END_SRC
** Tramp
Tramp is awesome. It makes SSH feel Unix-y. The proxy setup is so
that I can sudo on remote machines
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Ah, a complicated topic. One day we’ll all be using elastic
tabstops. I’ve recently switched to using two spaces, since elastic
tabstops is probably never going to happen.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Don’t make me think, just indent it! Unless it’s a

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package multiple-cursors
:defer 1
:config (progn
(bind-key "C-." #'mc/mark-next-like-this)
(bind-key "C-," #'mc/mark-previous-like-this)
(bind-key "M-<f3>" #'mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim)
(bind-key "C-<f3>" #'mc/mark-more-like-this-extended)
(bind-key "C-S-L" #'mc/edit-lines)))
#+END_SRC
** paredit
Balanced parentheses in lisps are nice, but all the refactoring and
movement commands are much more interesting.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package paredit
:diminish "()"
:config (progn
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-common-hook #'enable-paredit-mode)
(put #'paredit-forward-delete 'delete-selection 'supersede)
(put #'paredit-backward-delete 'delete-selection 'supersede)
(add-hook 'eval-expression-minibuffer-setup-hook #'enable-paredit-mode)))
#+END_SRC
** smartparens
I like to use smartparens where paredit isn’t already useful. Somehow
I didn’t find smartparens’ implementation of paredit style to be as
nice as the real version
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-when-compile (require 'smartparens nil :noerror))
(use-package smartparens-config
:ensure smartparens
:config (progn
(sp-use-smartparens-bindings)
(setq sp-highlight-pair-overlay nil)
(fset 'wrap-with-paren "\C-](") ;; `sp-select-next-thing-exchange'
(bind-key "C-(" #'wrap-with-paren smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "C-)" #'sp-forward-slurp-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "M-<backspace>" #'backward-kill-word smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "M-?" #'sp-convolute-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "C-M-t" #'sp-transpose-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "M-R" #'sp-raise-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "M-S" #'sp-splice-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "C-M-s" #'sp-split-sexp smartparens-mode-map)

(bind-key "M-<up>" #'sp-splice-sexp-killing-backward smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "M-<down>" #'sp-splice-sexp-killing-forward smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "C-M-S-k" #'sp-kill-hybrid-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(bind-key "C-S-<right>" #'sp-slurp-hybrid-sexp smartparens-mode-map)
(sp-with-modes '(twig-mode)
(sp-local-pair "{%" "%}")
(sp-local-pair "{{" "}}"))
(show-smartparens-global-mode t)
(smartparens-global-strict-mode t)
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-common-hook #'turn-off-smartparens-mode)
(add-hook 'coffee-mode-hook #'turn-off-smartparens-mode)))
#+END_SRC
** smart-scan
Move between instances of a symbol
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package smartscan
:config (progn
(smartscan-mode 1)))
#+END_SRC
** move-text
Transposing lines, made easier.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package move-text
:config (move-text-default-bindings))
#+END_SRC
** undo-tree
Emacs’ default handling of undo is a bit confusing. Undo-tree makes
it much clearer. It’s especially helpful for protoyping and refactoring.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package undo-tree
:config (progn
(global-undo-tree-mode)
;; Keep region when undoing in region
(defadvice undo-tree-undo (around keep-region activate)
(if (use-region-p)
(let ((m (set-marker (make-marker) (mark)))
(p (set-marker (make-marker) (point))))
ad-do-it
(goto-char p)
(set-mark m)
(set-marker p nil)
(set-marker m nil))
ad-do-it)))
:diminish undo-tree-mode)
#+END_SRC
** visual-regexp
I don’t always remember exactly how Emacs’ regular expressions work,
so this package is pretty useful because it highlights everything in
the buffer for me.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package visual-regexp
:bind (("C-c r" . vr/replace)
("C-c q" . vr/query-replace)
("C-c m" . vc/mc-mark)))

* Tangling
Taken from [[https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org][larstvei/dot-emacs]]. I changed it so that it would work with
my current dotfiles repository structure and work asynchronously,
thanks to [[https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-async][jwiegley/emacs-async]].
We can use =C-c C-v t= to run =org-babel-tangle=, which extracts the
code blocks from the current file into a source-specific file (in this
case a =.el=-file).
To avoid doing this each time a change is made we can add a function
to the =after-save-hook= ensuring to always tangle and byte-compile
the =org=-document after changes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package async
:commands (async-start)
:defer 2)
(defun tangle-if-init ()
"If the current buffer is 'init.org' the code-blocks are
tangled, and the tangled file is compiled."
(when (string-suffix-p "init.org" (buffer-file-name))
(tangle-init)))
(defun tangle-init-sync ()
(interactive)
(message "Tangling init")
;; Avoid running hooks when tangling.
(let ((prog-mode-hook nil)
(src (expand-file-name "init.org" user-emacs-directory))
(dest (expand-file-name "init.el" user-emacs-directory)))
(require 'ob-tangle)
(org-babel-tangle-file src dest)
(if (byte-compile-file dest)
(byte-compile-dest-file dest)
