#+startup: noindent
#+begin_center
My configuration for (a very specific form of) Emacs
#+end_center
#+latex: \clearpage
#+toc: headlines
* Basics
Firstly, set full name and mail address. This is used in encryption
and mailing.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq user-full-name "Aryadev Chavali"
user-mail-address "aryadev@aryadevchavali.com")
#+end_src
Let's set all yes or no questions to single letter responses.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+end_src
Set the encoding to UTF-8-Unix by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package emacs
:straight nil
:init
(setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8-unix
save-buffer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix))
#+end_src
Setup no-littering, which cleans up many of the default directories in
Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package no-littering
:demand t
:init
(setq no-littering-etc-directory (expand-file-name ".config/" user-emacs-directory)
no-littering-var-directory (expand-file-name ".local/" user-emacs-directory)))
#+end_src
** File saves and custom file
Setup automatic saving for files (in case of system failure) and
auto-revert-mode (which refreshes the buffer on changes to the
underlying file). Along with that, set the custom-file (which holds
temporary customisation) in the etc folder.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package emacs
:straight nil
:init
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . ,(no-littering-expand-var-file-name "saves/")))
global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers t
auto-revert-verbose nil)
(setq custom-file (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "custom.el"))
:config
(global-auto-revert-mode 1))
#+end_src
* Custom functionality
Functions that don't require a packages to work other than Emacs,
which means I can define them early. These are used much later in the
config.
** Toggle buffer
Like VSCode's toggling feature for just the terminal but now for
any buffer of choice, as long as I can generate it via a command.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load "window"
(defmacro +oreo/create-toggle-function (func-name buf-name
buf-create
&optional accept-numeric)
"Generate a function named FUNC-NAME that toggles the buffer with
name BUF-NAME, using BUF-CREATE to generate it if necessary.
BUF-NAME cannot be a regexp, it must be a fixed name."
(let ((interactive-arg
(if accept-numeric '(interactive "p") '(interactive)))
(arguments
(if accept-numeric '(&optional arg) nil))
(buffer-name (if accept-numeric
`(if (= arg 1)
,buf-name
(concat ,buf-name "<" (int-to-string arg) ">"))
buf-name))
(buffer-create (if accept-numeric
`(if (= arg 1)
(,buf-create)
(,buf-create arg))
`(,buf-create))))
`(defun ,func-name ,arguments
,interactive-arg
(let* ((buffer (or (get-buffer ,buffer-name)
,buffer-create))
(displayed (get-buffer-window buffer)))
(if displayed
(delete-window displayed)
(display-buffer buffer)
(select-window (get-buffer-window buffer))))))))
#+end_src
** Auto-run command after-save-hook
Define a macro, which creates hooks into the ~after-save-hook~. On
certain ~conditions~ being met, ~to-run~ is evaluated.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package simple
:straight nil
:config
(defmacro +oreo/create-auto-save (conditions &rest to-run)
"Create a hook for after saves, where (on CONDITIONS being met)
TO-RUN is evaluated. "
`(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'(lambda ()
(interactive)
(when ,conditions
,@to-run)))))
#+end_src
** Procedure
A ~lambda~ which takes no arguments is a procedure. This macro
generates procedures, with the parameters of the macro being the body
of the procedure. It returns it in quoted form, as that is the most
common use of this macro.
(You may notice ~proc~ is used where the return value doesn't matter).
#+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
** System specificity
A macro that acts as a switch case on ~(system-name)~ which allows the
writing of system specific code. For me this is for my desktop and
laptop, particularly for font sizes. Though there may be an easier
solution than this, this seems simple enough.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defmacro +oreo/sys-name-cond (&rest pairs)
"Switch case on result of function `system-name'.
Each pair in PAIRS is typed as: (string . (forms...)) where the
string represents the system name to test, and forms being the
consequence if true."
`(cond
,@(mapcar #'(lambda (pair)
;; (str . forms..) -> ((string= str (system-name))
;; forms...)
(let ((name (car pair))
(body (cdr pair)))
`((string= ,name (system-name)) ,@body)))
pairs)))
#+end_src
In [[file:early-init.el][early-init.el]] I set the number of native-workers to 4, which isn't
necessarily optimal when loading/compiling the rest of this file
depending on the machine I use:
- On my laptop (=spiderboy=) I'd prefer to have it use 2-3 threads so I
can actually use the rest of the laptop while waiting for
compilation
- On my desktop (=oldboy=) I'd prefer to use 4-6 threads as I can
afford more, so I can get a faster load up.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(+oreo/sys-name-cond
("spiderboy"
(setq native-comp-async-jobs-number 3))
("oldboy"
(setq native-comp-async-jobs-number 6)))
#+end_src
** Clean buffer list
Instead of cleaning my buffer list manually, selectively preserving
some fixed set of buffers, this function does it for me. Preserves
any buffers in ~+oreo/keep-buffer~ and kills the rest.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst +oreo/keep-buffers
(list "config.org" "*scratch*"
"*dashboard*" "*Messages*"
"*Warnings*")
"List of buffer names to preserve.")
(defun +oreo/clean-buffer-list ()
"Kill all buffers except any with names in +oreo/keep-buffers."
(interactive)
(mapcar #'(lambda (buf)
(if (not (member (buffer-name buf) +oreo/keep-buffers))
(kill-buffer buf)))
(buffer-list)))
#+end_src
* Aesthetics
General look and feel of Emacs (mostly disabling stuff I don't like).
** Themes
*** Dark theme
My preferred dark theme is my own "personal-primary" theme which is
stored in the Emacs lisp folder (look at [[file:elisp/personal-primary-theme.el][this file]]). It tries to use
the primary colours for everything, leading to a colour -> meaning
relation.
I have an older version of this theme that uses a homogeneous colour
scheme ([[file:elisp/personal-theme.el][this file]])
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package custom
:demand t
:straight nil
:init
(setq custom-theme-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "elisp/"))
:config
(load-theme 'personal-primary t))
#+end_src
*** Light theme
I'm not very good at designing light themes as I don't really use
them. However they are necessary in high light situations where a
dark mode would strain the eyes too much. So I built a custom theme
on top of the default Emacs theme, "personal-light" (look at [[file:elisp/personal-light-theme.el][this
file]]).
I don't use it by default but I may need to switch between light and
dark easily, so here's a command to switch between them.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package custom
:defer t
:straight nil
:commands +oreo/switch-theme
:init
(defvar +oreo/theme 'dark)
:config
(defun +oreo/switch-theme ()
(interactive)
(cond
((eq +oreo/theme 'dark)
(load-theme 'personal-light t)
(setq +oreo/theme 'light))
((eq +oreo/theme 'light)
(load-theme 'personal-primary t)
(setq +oreo/theme 'dark)))))
#+end_src
** Font size
Set font size to 140 if on my desktop (oldboy) or 175 if on my laptop
(spiderboy).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package faces
:straight nil
:config
(+oreo/sys-name-cond
("spiderboy" (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 175))
("oldboy" (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 140))))
#+end_src
** Scratch buffer
Turn off the startup buffer because I prefer [[Dashboard]], and write into
the scratch buffer some nice information about Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package emacs
:straight nil
:init
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t
initial-scratch-message (format ";; Emacs v%s\n" emacs-version)
ring-bell-function 'ignore))
#+end_src
** Blinking cursor
Turn off blinking-cursor-mode as [[*Hl-line][hl-line]] is better.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package frame
:straight nil
:config
(blink-cursor-mode 0))
#+end_src
** Fringes
Turning off borders in my window manager was a good idea, so turn off
the borders for Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package fringe
:after dashboard
:straight nil
:config
(fringe-mode 0))
#+end_src
** Mode line
A mode line in an editor can provide a LOT of information, or very
little. I customised the Emacs modeline to give me a bit of info,
~telephone-line~ to give me a lot.
Currently I use the default mode line with some customisation;
simplicity is above all.
*** Emacs Mode-line
Firstly, declare a variable for the separator between each module
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst +modeline/separator " " "Separator between modules.")
#+end_src
Then declare a variable for the number of separators between each
module in the modeline.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst +modeline/sep-count 4
"Number of +modline/separator instances separating modules.")
#+end_src
Then, declare a list of reserved characters for which the previously
declared seperator won't be applied when placed at the end of a module
string.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst +modeline/reserved-chars (list "[" "(")
"Characters that, when at the end of a module string, won't
have the separator applied to them.")
#+end_src
Now declare a function that applies the separator with respect to the
reserved characters to any one string.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun +modeline/handle-string (STR)
(condition-case nil
(progn
(string-blank-p STR)
(if (cl-member (car (last (split-string STR "" t))) +modeline/reserved-chars :test #'string=)
STR
(concat STR (cl-reduce #'concat (cl-loop for i from 1 to +modeline/sep-count collect +modeline/separator)))))
(error STR)))
#+end_src
Finally, set the mode-line-format.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq-default
mode-line-format
(mapcar #'+modeline/handle-string
(list "%l:%c"
"%p["
'(:eval (upcase
(substring
(format "%s" (if (bound-and-true-p evil-state)
evil-state
""))
0 1)))
"]"
"%+%b("
'(:eval (format "%s" major-mode))
")"
"%I"
vc-mode
" "
mode-line-misc-info
mode-line-end-spaces)))
#+end_src
*** Telephone-line
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no

Telephone-line is a mode-line package for Emacs which prioritises
extensibility. It also looks much nicer than the default mode line

* Core packages
Packages that are absolutely necessary for the rest of the
configuration. These yield core functionality such as keybinding,
modal editing, completion, auto typing to name a few.
** General
General provides a great solution for binding keys. It has evil and
use-package support so it fits nicely into configuration. In this
case, I define a "definer" for the "LEADER" keys. Leader is bound to
~SPC~ and it's functionally equivalent to the doom/spacemacs leader.
Local leader is bound to ~SPC ,~ and it's similar to doom/spacemacs
leader but doesn't try to fully assimilate the local-leader map,
instead just picking stuff I think is useful. This forces me to learn
only as many bindings as I find necessary; no more, no less.
I also define prefix leaders for differing applications. These are
quite self explanatory by their name and provide a nice way to
visualise all bindings under a specific heading just by searching the
code.

** Evil
My editor journey started off with Vim rather than Emacs, so my brain
has imprinted on its style. Thankfully Emacs is super extensible so
there exists a package (more of a supreme system) for porting Vim's
modal editing style to Emacs, called Evil (Emacs Vi Layer).
However there are a lot of packages in Vim that provide greater
functionality, for example 'vim-surround'. Emacs, by default, has
these capabilities but there are further packages which integrate them
into Evil.
*** Evil core
Setup the evil package, with some opinionated keybindings:
- Switch ~evil-upcase~ and ~evil-downcase~ because I use ~evil-upcase~
more
- Switch ~evil-goto-mark~ and ~evil-goto-mark-line~ as I'd rather have
the global one closer to the home row
- Use 'T' character as an action for transposing objects

*** Evil collection
Provides a community based set of keybindings for most modes in
Emacs. I don't necessarily like all my modes having these bindings
though, as I may disagree with some. So I use it in a mode to mode basis.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package evil-collection
:after evil)
#+end_src
** Completion
Emacs is a text based interface. Completion is its bread and butter
in providing good user experience. By default Emacs provides
'completions-list' which produces a buffer of options which can be
searched and selected. We can take this further though!
Ido and Icomplete are packages distributed with Emacs to provide
greater completion interfaces. They utilise the minibuffer to create
a more interactive experience, allowing incremental searches and
option selection.
Ivy and Helm provide more modern interfaces, though Helm is quite
heavy. Ivy, on the other hand, provides an interface similar to Ido
with less clutter and better customisation options.
*** Ivy
Ivy is a completion framework for Emacs, and my preferred one. It has
a great set of features with little to no pain with setting up.
**** Ivy Core
Setup for ivy, in preparation for counsel. Turn on ivy-mode just
after init.
Setup vim-like bindings for the minibuffer ("M-(j|k)" for down|up the

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.
This has been replaced by [[*xref][xref]] which is inbuilt.

:END:
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
similarly to a fully fledged completion framework.

*** 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 key bind when
looking for a command.

** Pretty symbols
Prettify symbols mode allows for users to declare 'symbols' that
replace text within certain modes. Though this may seem like useless
eye candy, it has aided my comprehension and speed of recognition
(recognising symbols is easier than words).
Essentially a use-package keyword which makes declaring pretty symbols
for language modes incredibly easy. Checkout my [[C/C++][C/C++]] configuration
for an example.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Window management
Emacs' default window management is quite bad, eating other windows
and not particularly caring for the current window setup. Thankfully
you can change this via the ~display-buffer-alist~ which matches
buffer names with how the window for the buffer should be displayed.
I add a use-package keyword to make ~display-buffer-alist~ records
within use-package.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
*** Some display records
Using the ~:display~ keyword, setup up some ~display-buffer-alist~
records. This is mostly for packages that aren't really configured
(like [[info:woman][woman]]) or packages that were configured before (like [[Ivy][Ivy]]).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Auto typing
Snippets are a pretty nice way of automatically inserting code. Emacs
provides a ton of packages by default to do this, but there are great
packages to install as well.
Abbrevs and skeletons make up a popular solution within Emacs default.
Abbrevs are for simple expressions wherein the only input is the key,
and the output is some Elisp function. They provide a lot of inbuilt
functionality and are quite useful. Skeletons, on the other hand, are
for higher level insertions
The popular external 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.
*** 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

#+end_src
*** Skeletons
Defining some basic skeletons and a macro to help generate an abbrev
as well.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
*** Auto insert

Supports skeletons for inserting text. Here I define an HTML skeleton
and a Makefile skeleton.

** Display line numbers
I don't really like line numbers, I find them similar to [[*Fringes][fringes]] as

** esup
I used to be able to just use [[file:elisp/profiler-dotemacs.el][profile-dotemacs.el]], when my Emacs
config was smaller, but now it tells me very little information about
where my setup is inefficient due to the literate config. Just found
this ~esup~ thing and it works perfectly, exactly how I would prefer
getting this kind of information. It runs an external Emacs instance
and collects information from it, so it doesn't require restarting
Emacs to profile.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** xref
Find definitions, references and general objects using tags without
external packages. Provided by default in Emacs and just requires a
way of generating a =TAGS= file for your project. Helps with minimal
setups for programming without heavier packages like [[*Eglot][Eglot]].
[[*Projectile][Projectile]] provides a nice way to generate tags.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** (Rip)grep
Grep is a great piece of software, a necessary tool in any Linux
user's inventory. By default Emacs has a family of functions to use
grep, presenting results in a ~compilation~ style. ~grep~ searches
files, ~rgrep~ searches in a directory using the ~find~ program and
~zgrep~ searches archives. This is a great solution for a general
computer environment; essentially all Linux installs will have ~grep~
and ~find~ installed.
Ripgrep is a Rust program that attempts to perform better than grep,
and it actually does. This is because of a set of optimisations, such
as checking the =.gitignore= to exclude certain files from being
searched. The ripgrep package provides utilities to ripgrep projects
and files for strings. Though [[*Ivy][ivy]] comes with ~counsel-rg~, it uses
Ivy's completion framework rather than the ~compilation~ style
buffers, which sometimes proves very useful.
Of course, this requires installing the rg binary which is available
in most repositories nowadays.
*** Grep
I have no use for standard 'grep'; ~counsel-swiper~ does the same
thing faster and within Emacs lisp. ~rgrep~ is useful though.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Olivetti
Olivetti provides a focus mode for Emacs, which makes it look a bit
nicer with fringes. I also define ~+olivetti-mode~ which will
remember and clear up any window configurations on the frame, then
when turned off will reinsert them - provides a nice way to quickly
focus on a buffer.

* Applications
Applications are greater than packages; they provide a set of

** Mail
Mail is a funny thing; most people use it just for business or

free software movement who heavily use mail for communication.
Integrating mail into Emacs helps as I can send source code and
integrate it into my workflow just a bit better.

** Xwidget
Xwidget is a package which allows for the insertion of arbitrary
xwidgets into Emacs through buffers. It must be compiled into Emacs
so you might need to customise your install. One of its premier uses
is in navigating the web which it provides through the function
~xwidget-webkit-browse-url~. This renders a fully functional web
browser within Emacs.
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 pages with JavaScript, as it may come of use when
doing web development. I can see the results of work very quickly
without switching windows all within Emacs.

Define a function ~+xwidget/render-file~ that reads a file name and
presents it in an xwidget. If the current file is an HTML file, ask
if user wants to open current file. Bind it to ~aU~ in the leader.
Also define a function ~+xwidget/search-query~ that first asks the
user what search engine they want to use ([[https://duckduckgo.com][Duck Duck Go]] and [[https://devdocs.io][DevDocs]]
currently) then asks for a query, which it parses then presents in an
xwidget window. Bind to ~as~ in the leader.

** Eshell
*** Why Eshell?
Eshell is an integrated shell environment for Emacs, written in Emacs
Lisp. I argue that it is the best shell/command interpreter to use in
Emacs.
Eshell is unlike the alternatives in Emacs as it's a /shell/ first,
not a terminal emulator. It has the ability to spoof some aspects of a
terminal emulator (through the shell parser), but it is NOT a terminal
emulator.
The killer benefits of eshell (which would appeal to Emacs users) are
a direct result of eshell being written in Emacs lisp:
- incredible integration with Emacs utilities (such as ~dired~,
~find-file~, any read functions, to name a few)
- very extensible, easy to write new commands which leverage Emacs
commands as well as external utilities
- agnostic of platform: "eshell/cd" will call the underlying change
directory function for you, so commands will (usually) mean the same
thing regardless of platform
- this means as long as Emacs runs, you can run eshell
However, my favourite feature of eshell is the set of evaluators that
run on command input. Some of the benefits listed above come as a
result of this powerful feature. These evaluators are described below.
Lisp evaluator: works on braced expressions, evaluating them as Lisp
expressions (e.g. ~(message "Hello, World!\n")~). Any returned
objects are printed. This makes eshell a LISP REPL!
External evaluator: works within curly braces, evaluating them via
some external shell process (like sh) (e.g. ~{echo "Hello,
world!\n"}~). This makes eshell a (kinda dumb) terminal emulator!
The alias evaluator is the top level evaluator. It is the main
evaluator for each expression given to eshell. When given an
expression it tries to evaluate it by testing against these conditions:
- it's an alias defined by the user or in the ~eshell/~ namespace of
functions (simplest evaluator)
- it's some form of lisp expression (lisp evaluator)
- it's an external command (bash evaluator)
Essentially, you get the best of both Emacs and external shell
programs *ALL WITHIN* Emacs for free.
*** Eshell functionality
Bind some evil-like movements for easy shell usage, and a toggle
function to pull up the eshell quickly.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
*** Eshell variables and aliases
Set some sane defaults, a banner and a prompt. The prompt checks for
a git repo in the current directory and provides some extra
information in that case (in particular, branch name and if there any
changes that haven't been committed).
Also add ~eshell/goto~, which is actually a command accessible from
within eshell (this is because ~eshell/*~ creates an accessible
function within eshell with name ~*~). ~eshell/goto~ makes it easier
to change directories by using Emacs' find-file interface (which is
much faster than ~cd ..; ls -l~).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
*** Eshell change directory quickly
~eshell/goto~ is a better ~cd~ for eshell. However it is really just
a plaster over a bigger issue for my workflow; many times I want

As magit will definitely load after evil (as it must be run by a

freely. Also, define an auto insert for commit messages so that I
don't need to write everything myself.

Emacs has two systems for process management:

*** Proced
Core proced config, just a few bindings and evil collection setup.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Calculator
Surprise, surprise Emacs comes with a calculator.
Greater surprise, this thing is over powered. It can perform the
following (and more):
- Matrix calculations
- Generalised calculus operations
- Equation solvers for n-degree multi-variable polynomials
- Embedded mode!
~calc-mode~ is a calculator system within Emacs that provides a
diverse array of mathematical operations. It uses reverse polish
notation to do calculations (though there is a standard infix
algebraic notation mode).
Embedded mode allows computation with the current buffer as the echo
area. This basically means I can compute stuff within a buffer
without invoking calc directly: $1 + 2\rightarrow_{\text{calc-embed}} 3$.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package calc

:config

(evil-collection-calc-setup)))
#+end_src
*** Calctex
~calc-mode~ also has a 3rd party package called ~calctex~. It renders
mathematical expressions within calc as if they were rendered in TeX.
You can also copy the expressions in their TeX forms, which is pretty
useful when writing a paper. I've set a very specific lock on this
repository as it's got quite a messy work-tree and this commit seems to
work for me given the various TeX utilities installed via Arch.

Standard packages and configurations for text-mode and its derived

*** Flyspell
Flyspell allows me to quickly spell check text documents. I use
flyspell primarily in org mode, as that is my preferred prose writing
software, but I also need it in commit messages and so on. So
flyspell-mode should be hooked to text-mode.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

*** Undo tree
Undo tree sits on top of the incredible Emacs undo capabilities.
Provides a nice visual for edits and a great way to produce branches
of edits. Also allows saving of undo trees, which makes Emacs a quasi
version control system in and of itself! The only extra necessary
would be describing changes...
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

*** Whitespace
Deleting whitespace, highlighting when going beyond the 80th character
limit, all good stuff. I don't want to highlight whitespace for
general mode categories (Lisp shouldn't really have an 80 character
limit), so set it for specific modes need the help.

*** Thesaurus
=le-thesaurus= is a great extension for quickly searching up words for

* Programming modes
Packages that help with programming in general, providing IDE like
capabilities.
** Eldoc
Eldoc presents documentation to the user upon placing ones cursor upon
any symbol. This is very useful when programming as it:
- presents the arguments of functions while writing calls for them
- presents typing and documentation of variables
Eldoc box makes the help buffer a hovering box instead of printing it

** Eglot
Eglot is package to communicate with LSP servers for better
programming capabilities. Interactions with a server provide results
to the client, done through JSON.
NOTE: Emacs 28.1 comes with better JSON parsing, which makes Eglot
much faster.
2023-03-26: I've found Eglot to be useful sometimes, but many of the
projects I work on don't require a heavy server setup to efficiently
edit and check for errors; Emacs provides a lot of functionality.

** Flycheck
Flycheck is the checking system for Emacs. I don't necessarily like
having all my code checked all the time, so I haven't added a hook to
prog-mode as it would be better for me to decide when I want checking

** Highlight todo items
TODO items are highlighted in org-mode, but not necessarily in every

* Org mode
2023-03-30: finally decided to give org mode its own section.
Org is, at its most basic, a markup language. Files use the ".org"
extension and use =org-mode= to write text, with the ability to export
to a few formats, all within Emacs. However, this is a massive
disservice to its incredible capabilities:
+ Complete spreadsheet system, with formulas (including
[[*Calculator][calc-mode]] integration)
+ Evaluation of code blocks, even using the results of them in exports
(to, say, a $\LaTeX$ or HTML document)
+ This includes exporting all code blocks of a document to a code
file, say all the emacs-lisp files in this document to ~config.el~
([[file:elisp/literate.el][literate]])
+ Complete calendar/todo system with deadlines, scheduling and
repeaters
+ Export to a variety of formats or make your own export engine using
the org AST!
+ Writing latex in document, with ability to render them on demand,
and exporting to PDFs through Latex
** Aesthetic defaults
Org has a ton of settings to tweak, which change your experience quite
a bit. My setup should be as portable as possible and (/sometimes/) I
need to access org mode files in other editors, so org files should be
as close to clear text as possible. This is the guiding philosophy
that essentially makes most of my options pretty immediate.
Some arbitrary notes:
+ By default =~/Text= is my directory for text files. I actually have
a repository that manages this directory for agenda files and other
documents
+ Indentation in file should not be allowed, i.e. text indentation,
as that forces other editors to read it a certain way as well. It
seems obtrusive hence it's off.
+ Org startup indented is on by default as most documents do benefit
from the indentation, but I do turn it off for some files via
~#+startup:noindent~
+ When opening an org document there can be a lot of headings, so I
set folding to just content
+ Org documents can also have a lot of latex previews, which make
opening some after a while a massive hassle. If I want to see the
preview, I'll do it myself, so turn it off.
+ Org manages windowing itself, to some extent, so I set those options
to be as unobtrusive as possible

Toggle latex fragments in org mode so you get fancy maths symbols. I
use latex a bit in org mode as it is the premier way of getting
mathematical symbols rendered, but org mode > latex.
Delimited environments are aplenty, escaped brackets and dollar signs
are my favourite. Here's a snippet:
$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-x^2}dx = \sqrt{\pi}$.

* Languages
Configuration for specific languages or file formats.
** PDF
I use PDFs mostly for reading reports or papers. Though Emacs isn't
my preferred application for viewing PDFs (I highly recommend
[[https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/][Zathura]]), similar to most things with Emacs, having a PDF viewer
builtin can be a very useful asset.
For example if I were editing an org document which I was eventually
compiling into a PDF, my workflow would be much smoother with a PDF
viewer within Emacs that I can open on another pane.
*** PDF tools
~pdf-tools~ provides the necessary functionality for viewing PDFs.
There is no proper PDF viewing without this package.
~evil-collection~ provides a setup for this mode, so use that.

** Haskell
Haskell is a static lazy functional programming language (what a
mouthful). It's quite a beautiful language and really learning it will
change the way you think about programming. However, my preferred
functional language is still unfortunately Lisp so no extra brownie
points there.
Here I configure the REPL for Haskell via the
~haskell-interactive-mode~. I also load my custom package
[[file:elisp/haskell-multiedit.el][haskell-multiedit]] which allows a user to create temporary
~haskell-mode~ buffers that, upon completion, will run in the REPL.
Even easier than making your own buffer.

** Python
Works well for python. If you have ~pyls~ it should be on your path, so
just run eglot if you need. But an LSP server is not necessary for a
lot of my time in python.

** Common Lisp
Common Lisp is a dialect of Lisp, the most /common/ one around. Emacs
comes with builtin Lisp support of course, but a REPL would be nice.
Enter /SLY/. Sly is a fork of /SLIME/ and is *mandatory* for lisp
development on Emacs.
