You can use =o/O= to enter insert mode at a new line, but this isn't the same as being able to stay in normal mode while opening newlines and only adds extra keypresses if your only purpose was to open up some lines. As this is Emacs I can extend it as I wish, so I decided to define a new line function that won't remove me from normal state. The logic is pretty simple: - Record current location as =old= - Use the predefined vim functions for opening new lines above and below with insert mode - Return to =old= - Enter normal state #+begin_src emacs-lisp (with-eval-after-load "evil" (defun dx:newline (&optional BACKWARD) (interactive) (save-excursion (cond ((and BACKWARD (= BACKWARD 1)) (evil-open-below 1)) (t (evil-open-above 1)))) (evil-normal-state))) #+end_src ** Toggle buffer *** Toggle buffer preamble There are many cases where 'toggling' a buffer is very useful. For example, toggling a shell to access it quickly and hide it away with little annoyance. This is negligible with a bit of Emacs lisp. However, as stated earlier, there are /many/ cases where this is useful. Following the DRY principle means a more abstract function would be better to use here. One may use higher order functions to create an abstract form that handles toggling, and then the caller can wrap this call in a new function if they wish to use it in a keybinding. This format or construct is kinda common (using a higher order function and wrapping it in an interactive function for use in a binding), so I created a macro that further wraps this functionality, creating a custom function for you. The macro asks for a function name, a buffer name and the function necessary to create that function. It then generates a function with the given name that holds the necessary logic to 'toggle' buffers. *** Code #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defmacro +dx/create-toggle-function (func-name buf-name buf-create) "Generate a function named func-name that toggles the buffer with name buf-name and creation function buf-create." `(defun ,func-name () (interactive) (let* ((buffer (or (get-buffer ,buf-name) (,buf-create))) (displayed (get-buffer-window buffer))) (cond (displayed (select-window displayed) (delete-window)) (t (display-buffer buffer) (select-window (get-buffer-window buffer))))))) #+end_src ** Power function Basic, tail recursive algorithm for calculating powers #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun pow (a n &optional initial) "Raise a to the nth power. Use init to set the initial value." (let ((init (if initial initial 1))) (if (= n 0) init (pow a (- n 1) (* a init))))) #+end_src ** Define procedure =lambda= provides a function with possible arguments. A procedure is something I define as essentially a function without arguments. This macro returns an anonymous function with no arguments with all the forms provided. It returns it in 'backquoted' form as that is the most common use of this macro. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defmacro proc (&rest CDR) "For a given list of forms CDR, return a quoted non-argument lambda." `(quote (lambda () ,@CDR))) #+end_src * Core packages ** General Setup general, a good package for defining keys. In this case, I generate a new definer for the "LEADER" keys. Leader is bound to SPC and it's functionally equivalent the doom/spacemacs leader. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package general :demand t :config (general-def :states '(normal motion) "SPC" nil "M-V" #'dx:newline "M-v" (proc (interactive) (dx:newline 1))) (general-create-definer leader :states '(normal motion) :keymaps 'override :prefix "SPC") (leader :infix "b" "d" #'kill-this-buffer)) #+end_src *** Some default binds in Emacs With a ton of use-package declarations (to defer until the last moment), bind to general some basic binds. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package face-remap :straight nil :general (general-def :states '(normal motion) "C--" #'text-scale-decrease "C-=" #'text-scale-increase)) (use-package frame :straight nil :general (general-def "C-x d" #'delete-frame)) (use-package simple :straight nil :general (leader "SPC" #'execute-extended-command "u" #'universal-argument ";" #'eval-expression)) (use-package files :straight nil :general (leader "q" #'save-buffers-kill-terminal "cF" (proc (interactive) (find-file "~/Code/"))) (leader :infix "f" "f" #'find-file "s" #'save-buffer "p" (proc (interactive) (find-file (concat user-emacs-directory "config.org"))))) (use-package compile :straight nil :general (leader "cc" #'compile)) (use-package imenu :straight nil :general (leader "si" #'imenu)) (use-package help :straight nil :general (leader "h" #'help-command)) (use-package async :straight nil :general (leader "!" #'async-shell-command)) #+end_src ** Evil *** Evil Preamble Evil (Emacs VI Layer) is a package that provides the Vi experience to Emacs. Packaged with it alone are: - Modal system - EX - Vi mapping functions This provides a lot of stuff for the vim user moving to Emacs. However there are many other packages surrounding evil that provide even greater functionality from vi to Emacs. Surround, commenting, multiple cursors and further support to other packages are configured here. *** Evil Core Setup the evil package, with some basic keybinds. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil :hook (after-init-hook . evil-mode) :general (general-def :states '(normal motion) "TAB" #'evil-jump-item "r" #'evil-replace-state "zC" #'hs-hide-level) (general-def :states 'visual :keymaps 'emacs-lisp-mode-map "gr" #'eval-region) (leader "w" #'evil-window-map "wd" #'delete-frame) :init (setq evil-want-keybinding nil evil-split-window-below t evil-vsplit-window-right t evil-want-abbrev-expand-on-insert-exit t) :config (fset #'evil-window-vsplit #'make-frame) (evil-mode)) #+end_src *** Evil surround #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil-surround :after evil :config (global-evil-surround-mode)) #+end_src *** Evil commentary #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil-commentary :after evil :config (evil-commentary-mode)) #+end_src *** Evil mc Setup for multicursors in Evil mode. Don't let evil-mc setup it's own keymap because it uses 'gr' as its prefix, which I don't like. Instead, bind some useful functions to my personal =dx:evil-mc-map= which is bound to 'gz'. Furthermore, define a function =dx:evil-mc-cursor-here= which pauses cursors upon placing a cursor at the current position. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil-mc :after evil :bind (("M-p" . evil-mc-skip-and-goto-prev-cursor) :map dx:evil-mc-map ("q" . evil-mc-undo-all-cursors) ("d" . evil-mc-make-and-goto-next-match) ("j" . evil-mc-make-cursor-move-next-line) ("k" . evil-mc-make-cursor-move-prev-line) ("j" . evil-mc-make-cursor-move-next-line) ("m" . evil-mc-make-all-cursors) ("z" . dx:evil-mc-cursor-here) ("r" . evil-mc-resume-cursors) ("s" . evil-mc-pause-cursors)) :init (setq evil-mc-key-map nil) (define-prefix-command 'dx:evil-mc-map) (bind-key "gz" dx:evil-mc-map evil-normal-state-map) :config (global-evil-mc-mode +1) (defun dx:evil-mc-cursor-here () (interactive) (evil-mc-make-cursor-here) (evil-mc-pause-cursors))) #+end_src *** Evil lion Evil lion provides alignment operators. Alignment operators allow you to, on some given text, align it via a symbol. For example it can transform the following #+begin_example (James . 19) (Arthur . 22) #+end_example to #+begin_example (James . 19) (Arthur . 22) #+end_example which would be done via =gl= (in this case =glip.=) #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil-lion :after evil :config (evil-lion-mode)) #+end_src *** Evil collection Setup evil collection, but don't turn on the mode. Instead, I'll turn on setups for specific modes I think benefit from it. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil-collection :after evil :config (evil-collection-require 'dired)) #+end_src ** Completion *** Completion Preamble Emacs is a text based interface. As a text based interface it heavily leverages searches and user filters to manage input and provide functionality. Though the standard model of completion may be desirable to some, it can be advanced through the use of 'completion frameworks'. These frameworks handle the input from the user for common commands and provide a differing interface to the one Emacs comes with. Most of these completion frameworks provide a text based menu that is actively filtered as more input is provided. Along with these frameworks come added functionality and applications to integrate into the Emacs environment further. One may say that when using a completion framework there is no point in using any other framework as they encompasses so much of the default functionality. However I'd argue that with a bit of management and Emacs lisp it's totally possible to pick and mix your options. For small number selections (like finding files) use something like Ido and for something larger like searching buffers use ivy. Along with frameworks, there is a configuration for the completions-list, which is actually the original and default method of completion within Emacs. When you first install Emacs without a config, any 'completing-read' function leverages the completions-list when =TAB= is used. Though I believe Ido is a better completion system than the completions-list, it still has it's place and can be used in tandem with ido. *** Ido Ido is a very old completion package that still works great to this day. Though it is limited in its scope (and may thus be called a completion add-on rather than a full on framework), it is still a very powerful package. With the use of ido-completing-read+, it may be used to as a fully fledged completion framework. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package ido :demand t :general (general-def :keymaps '(ido-buffer-completion-map ido-file-completion-map ido-file-dir-completion-map ido-common-completion-map) (kbd "M-j") #'ido-next-match (kbd "M-k") #'ido-prev-match (kbd "C-x o") #'evil-window-up) :init (setq ido-decorations (list "{" "}" " \n" " ..." "[" "]" " [No match]" " [Matched]" " [Not readable]" " [Too big]" " [Confirm]") completion-styles '(flex partial-completion intials emacs22)) (setq-default ido-enable-flex-matching t ido-enable-dot-prefix t ido-enable-regexp nil) :config (ido-mode) (ido-everywhere)) #+end_src **** Ido-completing-read+ Ido completing-read+ is a package that extends the ido package to work with more text based functions. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package ido-completing-read+ :after ido :config (ido-ubiquitous-mode +1)) #+end_src **** Amx Amx is a fork of Smex that works to enhance the execute-extended-command interface. It also provides support for ido or ivy (though I'm likely to use ido here) and allows you to switch between them. It provides a lot of niceties such as presenting the keybind when looking for a command. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package amx :after ido :config (amx-mode)) #+end_src *** Completions-list #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package simple :straight nil :general (general-def :keymaps 'completion-list-mode-map :states '(normal motion) "l" #'next-completion "h" #'previous-completion "ESC" #'delete-completion-window "q" #'quit-window "RET" #'choose-completion) :config (with-eval-after-load "evil" (setq evil-emacs-state-modes (cl-remove-if #'(lambda (x) (eq 'completions-list-mode x)) evil-emacs-state-modes)) (add-to-list 'evil-normal-state-modes 'completions-list-mode))) #+end_src *** Ivy Ivy is a completion framework for Emacs, and my preferred (sometimes second favourite) one. It has a great set of features with little to no pain with setting up. **** Counsel Setup for counsel. Load after ivy and helpful. Along with that, set the help function and variable functions to their helpful counterparts. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package counsel :general (leader "ss" #'counsel-grep-or-swiper "sr" #'counsel-rg) :init (general-def [remap describe-bindings] #'counsel-descbinds [remap load-theme] #'counsel-load-theme) :config (setq ivy-initial-inputs-alist nil)) #+end_src **** Ivy Core Setup for ivy, in preparation for counsel. Turn on ivy-mode just after init. Setup vim-like bindings for the minibuffer ("C-(j|k)" for down|up the selection list). #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package ivy :defer 10 :general (general-def :keymaps 'ivy-minibuffer-map "M-j" #'ivy-next-line-or-history "M-k" #'ivy-previous-line-or-history "C-c C-e" #'ivy-occur) (general-def :keymaps 'ivy-switch-buffer-map "M-j" #'ivy-next-line-or-history "M-k" #'ivy-previous-line-or-history) :config (require 'counsel nil t) (setq ivy-height 10 ivy-wrap t ivy-fixed-height-minibuffer t ivy-use-virtual-buffers nil ivy-virtual-abbreviate 'full ivy-on-del-error-function #'ignore ivy-use-selectable-prompt t)) #+end_src **** Counsel etags Counsel etags allows me to search generated tag files for tags. I already have a function defined to generate the tags, so it's just searching them which I find to be a bit of a hassle, and where this package comes in. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package counsel-etags :after counsel :general (leader "st" #'counsel-etags-find-tag)) #+end_src *** Company Company is the auto complete system I use. I don't like having heavy setups for company as it only makes it slower to use. In this case, just setup some evil binds for company. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package company :hook (prog-mode-hook . company-mode) (eshell-mode-hook . company-mode) :general (general-def :states 'insert (kbd "C-SPC") #'company-complete) (general-def :states '(normal insert) "M-j" #'company-select-next "M-k" #'company-select-previous)) #+end_src ** Pretty symbols Prettify symbols mode allows for users to declare 'symbols' that replace text within certain modes. For example, you may replace the 'for' word in c-mode in trade of '∀'. Though this may seem like useless eye candy, it actually increases my speed of recognition (recognising symbols is easier than words for many, including me). Now here I provide a macro +pretty/set-alist. This macro works pretty simply: given a mode hook, as well as a list of pairs typed (text to substitute, symbol to replace with). Then I add a hook to the given mode, setting the prettify-symbols-alist to the symbols given. I've declared it pretty high up into my config so that the rest of my packages can leverage it. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package prog-mode :straight nil :init (setq prettify-symbols-unprettify-at-point t) :config (with-eval-after-load "use-package-core" (add-to-list 'use-package-keywords ':pretty) (defun use-package-normalize/:pretty (_name-symbol _keyword args) args) (defun use-package-handler/:pretty (name _keyword args rest state) (use-package-concat (use-package-process-keywords name rest state) (let ((arg args) forms) (while arg (let ((mode (car arg)) (rest (cdr arg))) (add-to-list 'forms `(add-hook ',mode (lambda () (setq prettify-symbols-alist ',rest) (prettify-symbols-mode))))) (setq arg (cdr arg))) forms)))) (defmacro +pretty/set-alist (mode &rest symbols) `(add-hook ',mode (lambda () (setq prettify-symbols-alist ',symbols) (prettify-symbols-mode)))) (defun +pretty/set-alist-f (mode symbols) `(+pretty/set-alist mode ,@symbols))) #+end_src Here's a collection of symbols I have currently that may be used later. #+begin_example ("null" . "∅") ("list" . "ℓ") ("string" . "𝕊") ("true" . "⊤") ("false" . "⊥") ("char" . "ℂ") ("int" . "ℤ") ("float" . "ℝ") ("!" . "¬") ("&&" . "∧") ("||" . "∨") ("for" . "∀") ("return" . "⟼") ("print" . "ℙ") ("lambda" . "λ") #+end_example ** Window management Window management is really important. I find the default window handling of Emacs incredibly annoying: sometimes consuming my windows, sometimes creating new ones. Of course, as Emacs is a powerful lisp interpreter, this is easily manageable. Here I create a few use-package extensions that manages the whole ordeal of adding a new record to the display-buffer-alist, a useful abstraction that makes it easy to manage the various buffers created by packages. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package window :straight nil :defer t :general (leader :infix "b" "b" #'switch-to-buffer "K" #'kill-buffer "j" #'next-buffer "k" #'previous-buffer) :init (with-eval-after-load "use-package-core" (add-to-list 'use-package-keywords ':display) (defun use-package-normalize/:display (_name-symbol _keyword args) args) (defun use-package-handler/:display (name _keyword args rest state) (use-package-concat (use-package-process-keywords name rest state) (let ((arg args) forms) (while arg (add-to-list 'forms `(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist ',(car arg))) (setq arg (cdr arg))) forms))))) #+end_src *** Setup default display records Using the =:display= keyword, setup up some =display-buffer-alist= records. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package window :straight nil :defer t :display ("\\*\\(Wo\\)?Man.*" (display-buffer-at-bottom) (window-height . 0.25)) ("\\*Process List\\*" (display-buffer-at-bottom) (window-height . 0.25)) ("\\*compilation\\*" (display-buffer-at-bottom) (window-height . 0.25)) ("\\*\\(Ido \\)?Completions\\*" (display-buffer-in-side-window) (window-height . 0.25) (side . bottom)) ("\\*Async Shell Command\\*" (display-buffer-at-bottom) (window-height . 0.25))) #+end_src ** Auto typing *** Auto typing Preamble Snippets are a system by which pieces of code can be inserted via prefixes. For example, an 'if' snippet would work by first inserting the word 'if' then pressing some _expansion key_ such as TAB. This will insert a set of text that may be have some components that need to be further filled by the user. The popular solution is Yasnippet. Yasnippet is a great package for snippets, which I use heavily in programming and org-mode. I setup here the global mode for yasnippet and a collection of snippets for ease of use. However, Emacs provides its own 'auto typing' facilities. Abbrevs and skeletons make up the popular solution within Emacs default. Abbrevs are for simple expressions wherein there is only one user input (say, getting today's time which only requires you asking for it). They provide a lot of inbuilt functionality and are quite useful. Skeletons, on the other hand, are for higher level insertions *** Abbrevs Just define a few abbrevs for various date-time operations. Also define a macro that will assume a function for the expansion, helping with abstracting a few things away. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package abbrev :straight nil :hook (prog-mode-hook . abbrev-mode) (text-mode-hook . abbrev-mode) :init (defmacro +autotyping/deff-abbrev (ABBREV-TABLE ABBREV EXPANSION) "Wraps around define-abbrev to fill in some repeated stuff when expansion is a function." `(define-abbrev ,ABBREV-TABLE ,ABBREV "" (proc (insert ,EXPANSION)))) :config (+autotyping/deff-abbrev global-abbrev-table "sdate" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" (current-time))) (+autotyping/deff-abbrev global-abbrev-table "stime" (format-time-string "%H:%M:%S" (current-time))) (+autotyping/deff-abbrev text-mode-abbrev-table "sday" (format-time-string "%A" (current-time))) (+autotyping/deff-abbrev text-mode-abbrev-table "smonth" (format-time-string "%B" (current-time)))) #+end_src *** Skeletons Defining some basic skeletons and a macro to help generate an abbrev as well. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package skeleton :straight nil :after abbrev :config (defmacro +autotyping/gen-skeleton-abbrev (mode abbrev &rest skeleton) (let* ((table (intern (concat (symbol-name mode) "-abbrev-table"))) (skeleton-name (intern (concat "+skeleton/" (symbol-name mode) "/" abbrev)))) `(progn (define-skeleton ,skeleton-name "" ,@skeleton) (define-abbrev ,table ,abbrev "" ',skeleton-name))))) #+end_src *** Auto insert #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package autoinsert :straight nil :hook (after-init-hook . auto-insert-mode)) #+end_src *** Yasnippet default :PROPERTIES: :header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no :END: Setup global mode after evil mode has been loaded #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package yasnippet :after evil :hook (prog-mode-hook . yas-minor-mode) (text-mode-hook . yas-minor-mode) :general (leader "i" #'yas-insert-snippet) :config (yas-load-directory (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "yasnippet/snippets"))) #+end_src *** Yasnippet snippets :PROPERTIES: :header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no :END: Collection of snippets, activate after yasnippet has been loaded. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package yasnippet-snippets :after yasnippet) #+end_src * Small packages ** Display line numbers I don't like using this mode by default, but I'd like to configure it if possible. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package display-line-numbers :straight nil :defer t :commands display-line-numbers-mode :general (leader "tl" #'display-line-numbers-mode) :init (setq-default display-line-numbers-type 'relative)) #+end_src ** Hl-line Hl-line is a #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package hl-line :hook (text-mode-hook . hl-line-mode)) #+end_src ** Projectile Setup projectile, along with the tags command.

It is a searching utility that allows one to search files for certain regex patterns. The fact that there have been so many attempts to replace grep (with limited success) only goes to show how important its general function is to people. Ripgrep is a grep-like utility written in Rust. It subsumes not only the ability to search a given file but also to search multiple files within a directory (which is usually only done by composing the program find with grep to search multiple files). It is incredibly fast by virtue of its regex optimisations and the use of ignore files such as =.gitignore= to filter files when searching. Grep has default Emacs utilities that use a =compilation= style buffer to search a variety of differing data sets. =grep= searches files, =rgrep= searches in a directory using the =find= binary and =zgrep= searches archives. This is a great solution for most computer environments as basically all of them will have grep and find installed. Even when you =ssh= into a remote machine, they're likely to have these tools. The ripgrep package provides utilities to ripgrep projects and files for strings via the rg binary. Though [[*Ivy][ivy]] comes with =counsel-rg= using it makes me dependent on the ivy framework, and this configuration is intentionally built to be modular and switchable. Of course, this requires installing the rg binary which is available in most repositories nowadays. *** Grep #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package grep :display ("grep\\*" (display-buffer-at-bottom) (window-height . 0.25)) :straight nil :general (leader "sd" #'rgrep)) #+end_src *** rg #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package rg :commands (+rg/search-in-new-frame) :general (leader "sr" #'rg "sR" #'+rg/search-in-new-frame) (:keymaps 'rg-mode-map "]]" #'rg-next-file "[[" #'rg-prev-file "q" #'quit-window) :init (setq rg-group-result t rg-hide-command t rg-show-columns nil rg-show-header t rg-custom-type-aliases nil rg-default-alias-fallback "all" rg-buffer-name "*ripgrep*") :config (defun +rg/search-in-new-frame () (interactive) (let ((frame (make-frame))) (select-frame frame) (call-interactively #'rg)))) #+end_src * Applications ** Dashboard Dashboard creates a custom dashboard for Emacs that replaces the initial startup screen in default Emacs. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package dashboard :straight t :init (setq initial-buffer-choice (lambda () (get-buffer "*dashboard*")) dashboard-banner-logo-title "Oreomacs" dashboard-center-content nil dashboard-set-init-info t dashboard-startup-banner (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "dashboard/logo2.png") dashboard-set-footer t dashboard-set-navigator t dashboard-items '((projects . 5) (recents . 5))) :config (dashboard-setup-startup-hook) (general-def :states '(normal motion) :keymaps 'dashboard-mode-map "r" #'dashboard-jump-to-recent-files "p" #'dashboard-jump-to-projects "}" #'dashboard-next-section "{" #'dashboard-previous-section)) #+end_src ** Mail *** Mail Preamble Mail is a funny thing; most people use it just for business or advertising and it's come out of use in terms of personal communication in the west for the most part (largely due to "social" media applications).

Though I am not to keen on using Emacs to browse the web /via/ xwidget (EWW does a good job on its own), I am very interested in its capability to render full fledged web pages which include JavaScript, as it may come of use when doing web development. I can see the results of work very quickly without switching windows or workspaces. *** Xwidget Core Define a function =+xwidget/render-file= that reads a file name and presents it in an xwidget.

Though it isn't necessarily *the best* shell, it really suits the 'integrated computing environment' moniker that Emacs gets. It may be argued that Emacs integrates within itself many of the functionalities that one would use within a shell or terminal. Stuff like compilation, file management, large scale text manipulation could be done through Emacs' own tools (=compile=, =dired= and =occur= come to mind). However, I'd argue that eshell's greatest ability comes from it's separation (or perhaps better phrased, *integration*) of two 'parsers': the Lisp parser and the Shell parser. With these parsers you can mix and match at will for use in the shell, which grants greater power than many shells I know of. *** Eshell Core Setup a function that /toggles/ the eshell window rather than just opening it via =+dx/toggle-buffer=.

Though lisp is more aesthetically and mentally pleasing, they get the job done. Furthermore, they provide speed and finer control in trade of aesthetics and security-based abstractions. When writing C/C++ code, I use folds and section manipulation quite a bit so observing folds is quite important for me when considering a codebase. Thus, I observed the two main styles of brace placement and how they do folds. #+begin_src c :tangle no if (cond) {...} #+end_src vs #+begin_src c :tangle no if (cond) {....} #+end_src I don't print my code, nor am I absolutely pressed for screen real estate in terms of height (such that newlines matter). Width matters to me as I do use Emacs multiplexing capabilities often. Thus, with these in mind the open brace style is a better option than the opposing style. *** Configuration #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package cc-mode :defer t :hook (c-mode-hook . auto-fill-mode) (c++-mode-hook . auto-fill-mode) :init (setq-default c-basic-offset 2) (setq c-default-style '((java-mode .
