# Emacs Starter Kit

From Phil Hagelberg's emacs-starter-kit.

## Current or planned customizations by Geoffrey Grosenbach (topfunky)

* Intended for use with [Carbon Emacs](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en-US&q=carbon+emacs&rls=0.4&client=stainless&ie=UTF-8)

* May have partially functional or half-implemented features. Try forking [the original from Phil](http://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/tree/master) if you experience problems or want a fresh start.

### Some current additions

* defunkt's [TextMate](http://github.com/defunkt/textmate.el/tree/master) minor-mode.

* Some Mac key equivalents (Command-S, Command-Z).

* Textile, Haml, Sass, etc.

* Color themes.

* yasnippet for TextMate-style snippets.

* Useful functions such as toggle-fullscreen

### Planned

* More snippets

* Better color theme

# Description

This should provide a saner set of defaults than you get normally with

Emacs. It's intended for beginners, but it should provide a reasonable

working environment for anyone using Emacs for dynamic languages.

## Installation

1. Install Emacs (at least version 22)

   Use your package manager if you have one.

   Otherwise, Mac users should get it [from Apple](http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/carbonemacspackage.html).

   Windows users can get it [from GNU](http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.3-bin-i386.zip).

2. Move the directory containing this file to ~/.emacs.d

3. Launch Emacs!

If you are missing some autoloads after an update (should manifest

itself as "void function: foobar" errors) try M-x regen-autoloads.

If you want to keep your regular ~/.emacs.d in place and just launch a

single instance using the starter kit, try the following invocation:

  $ emacs -q -l ~/src/emacs-starter-kit/init.el

## ELPA

Libraries from ELPA (http://tromey.com/elpa) are preferred when

available since dependencies are handled automatically, and the burden

to update them is removed from the user.

See starter-kit-elpa.el for a list of libraries that are pending

submission to ELPA.

## Contributing

If you know your way around Emacs, please try out the starter kit as a

replacement for your regular dotfiles for a while. If there's anything

you just can't live without, add it or let me know so I can add

it. Take a look at what happens in init.el to get started.

Also: see the file TODO.
