My personal Emacs configuration

README 

        
* Welcome!



This is my personal Emacs configuration. I tend to prefer learning how

to use built-in packages for any given task. If I get a small itch to

scratch, I'll typically write my own tiny package for it. For itches

too big to handle on my own I do go shopping for external packages.



There is also code I wind up writing with no itch of my own to

scratch: I like reading [[https://reddit.com/r/emacs][r/emacs]] and writing little functions for

people there. The functions I like and think I might use someday

become tiny packages here. Writing small snippets for other people is

probably my favorite way of learning Emacs, because it takes me down

paths I don't think I would explore on my own.



* Some packages I've bundled separately



I intend to publish the most reusable parts of my configuration as

separate packages. So far that is:



- [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][embark]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/icomplete-vertical][icomplete-vertical]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/math-delimiters][math-delimiters]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/placeholder][placeholder]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/epithet][epithet]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/completing-history][completing-history]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/restricto][restricto]]

- [[https://github.com/oantolin/live-completions][live-completions]]



* Tiny packages of interest that live here



Of the packages I haven't published separately, I think these are

probably the most useful:



- block-undo :: make executions of keyboard macros undo in a single step!

- eval-region-advice :: have Emacs Lisp evaluation commands like

  =eval-last-sexp= and =eval-defun= call =eval-region= if the region is

  active (=eval-region= does not have a key binding by default and with

  this tiny package it doesn't need one).

- shr-heading :: commands to move to the next and or previous heading

  in a shr buffer (shr buffers show rendered HTML and are used by eww

  and elfeed, for example), as well as imenu support so you can

  instantly jump to a heading with completion.

- ffap-eshell :: better directory guessing for file names that happen

  to be printed out in an eshell buffer.

- visiting-buffer :: tweak the =delete-file= and =rename-file= commands

  (as well as their =vc-= counterparts) so that they also delete or

  rename any open buffer visiting the file, and, in case of renaming

  an Emacs Lisp library, also adjust the =provide= and the header line

  if necessary.

- ecomplete-extras :: commands to add or remove an email address from

  ecomplete's database.

- message-extras :: a function to keep you from sending emails without

  a subject line or without an attachment if you mention one in the

  email body; also, functons to manage sending email from several

  different accounts: a command to cycle the from address among your

  accounts, and a function to set the SMTP server to match the from

  address.



* Themes



For many years I kept trying Emacs themes and always went back to the

default theme. I don't understand why people don't like the default

theme, to me it is clearly better than almost all others. :)



I finally found themes I like better than the default: Protesilaos

Stavrou's [[https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes][modus themes]]!



* What's missing from this repo?



I separated the personal part of my configuration to publish this. The

personal part doesn't cover that much: email addresses and signatures,

org capture templates, org agenda configuration, and the org-publish

configuration for my academic website, basically. In particular most

of my org mode configuration is in this public part.
