#+title: Applications for Emacs
#+author: Aryadev Chavali
#+description: Applications for my Emacs OS™
#+date: 2023-09-29
#+property: header-args:emacs-lisp :tangle app.el :comments link :results none
#+options: toc:nil
#+startup: noindent
Applications are greater than packages; they provide a set of
functionality to create an interface in Emacs. Emacs comes with
applications and others may be installed.
* WAIT Dashboard
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no
:END:
Dashboard creates a custom dashboard for Emacs that replaces the
initial startup screen in default Emacs. It has a lot of customising
options.
Unfortunately not that useful, many things are easier to invoke
directly such as recent files or project changing.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package dashboard
:straight t
:demand t
:general
(app-leader
"b" #'dashboard-refresh-buffer)
(:states '(normal motion emacs)
:keymaps 'dashboard-mode-map
"q" (proc (interactive) (kill-this-buffer)))
(nmmap
:keymaps 'dashboard-mode-map
"r" #'dashboard-jump-to-recent-files
"p" #'dashboard-jump-to-projects
"}" #'dashboard-next-section
"{" #'dashboard-previous-section)
:init
(setq initial-buffer-choice nil
dashboard-banner-logo-title "Oreomacs"
dashboard-center-content t
dashboard-set-init-info t
dashboard-startup-banner (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "dashboard/logo.png")
dashboard-set-footer t
dashboard-set-navigator t
dashboard-items '((projects . 5)
(recents . 5))
dashboard-footer-messages (list
"Collecting parentheses..."
"Linking 'coffee_machine.o'..."
"Uploading ip to hacker named 4chan..."
"Dividing by zero..."
"Solving 3-sat..."
"Obtaining your health record..."
(format "Recompiling Emacs for the %dth time..." (random 1000))
"Escaping the cycle of samsara..."))
:config
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook))
#+end_src
* EWW
Emacs Web Wowser is the inbuilt text based web browser for Emacs. It
can render images and basic CSS styles but doesn't have a JavaScript
engine, which makes sense as it's primarily a text interface.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package eww
:defer t
:general
(app-leader
"w" #'eww)
(nmmap
:keymaps 'eww-mode-map
"w" #'evil-forward-word-begin
"Y" #'shr-probe-and-copy-url)
:straight nil
:config
(with-eval-after-load "evil-collection"
(evil-collection-eww-setup)))
#+end_src
* Calendar
Calendar is a simple inbuilt application that helps with date
functionalities. I add functionality to copy dates from the calendar
to the kill ring and bind it to "Y".
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package calendar
:straight nil
:defer t
:commands (+calendar/copy-date +calendar/toggle-calendar)
:display
("\\*Calendar\\*"
(display-buffer-at-bottom)
(inhibit-duplicate-buffer . t)
(window-height . 0.17))
:general
(nmmap
:keymaps 'calendar-mode-map
"Y" #'+calendar/copy-date)
(app-leader
"d" #'+calendar/toggle-calendar)
:config
(defun +calendar/copy-date ()
"Copy date under cursor into kill ring."
(interactive)
(if (use-region-p)
(call-interactively #'kill-ring-save)
(let ((date (calendar-cursor-to-date)))
(when date
(setq date (encode-time 0 0 0 (nth 1 date) (nth 0 date) (nth 2 date)))
(kill-new (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" date))))))
(+oreo/create-toggle-function
+calendar/toggle-calendar
"*Calendar*"
calendar
nil))
#+end_src
* Mail
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). However, this isn't true for the open source and
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.
** Notmuch

#+end_src
* Dired
Setup for dired. Make dired-hide-details-mode the default mode when
using dired-mode, as it removes the clutter. Setup evil collection
for dired (even though dired doesn't really conflict with evil, there
are some corners I'd like to adjust).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* WAIT Xwidget
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no
:END:
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.
2023-10-20: Disabled as it didn't seem to work, and honestly wasn't
that useful.

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, etc)
- 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 can run on an operating system, one
may 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.

** Eshell variables and aliases

** Eshell change directory quickly
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~).
~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
eshell to be present in the current directory of the buffer I am
using. So here's also a command for opening eshell with the current
directory.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

:straight nil

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

* 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 (check below)!
~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: $1 + 2\rightarrow_{\text{calc-embed}} 3$.

You can also copy the expressions in their TeX forms, which is pretty
