* Initial
Let's setup some basics.
Firstly, set full name and mail address for use in a variety of
applications, including encryption.
#+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
** No littering
Setup no-littering, which cleans up many of the default directories in
Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(straight-use-package 'no-littering)
(setq no-littering-etc-directory (expand-file-name ".config/" user-emacs-directory)
no-littering-var-directory (expand-file-name ".local/" user-emacs-directory))
(require 'no-littering)
#+end_src
** File saves and custom file
Now let's setup file saving and auto-revert-mode. Along with that,
setup the custom-file to exist in the var-directory
#+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 nil
auto-revert-verbose nil)
(setq custom-file (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "custom.el"))
:config
(global-auto-revert-mode 1))
#+end_src
** Hide-show mode
Turn on hs minor mode for all prog-mode.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package hideshow
:straight nil
:hook (prog-mode-hook . hs-minor-mode))
#+end_src
** Aesthetics
Load my custom "personal-theme" theme (look at [[file:personal-theme.el][this file]]).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package custom
:defer 5
:straight nil
:config
(load-theme 'personal t))
#+end_src
Set font size to 125 if no monitor is plugged in.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package faces
:straight nil
:config
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 115))
#+end_src
Turn off the startup buffer because I don't particularly care for it,
and write into the scratch buffer some nice information about Emacs.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package startup
:straight nil
:defer t
:init
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t
initial-scratch-message (format ";; Emacs v%s\n" emacs-version)
ring-bell-function 'ignore)
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
#'(lambda () (with-current-buffer "*scratch*"
(insert (format ";; Loaded in %s\n" (emacs-init-time)))))))
#+end_src
* 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)
(cond ((cl-member (car (last (split-string STR "" t))) +modeline/reserved-chars :test #'string=) STR)
(t (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-end-spaces)))
#+end_src
* Custom Functions
These are custom functions I have defined
** New line function
Vim bindings don't have a nice way of adding new lines before or after
the current line while staying in normal mode. 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
*** 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
"SPC" nil
"M-V" #'dx:newline
"M-v" (proc (interactive) (dx:newline 1)))
(general-create-definer leader
:states 'normal
: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
"C--" #'text-scale-decrease
"C-=" #'text-scale-increase))
(use-package frame
:straight nil
:general
(general-def
:states 'normal
"C-x d" #'delete-frame))
(use-package simple
:straight nil
:general
(leader

(leader

(use-package help
:straight nil

(use-package async
:straight nil
:general
(leader
"!" #'async-shell-command))
#+end_src
** 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.
*** 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
[remap evil-window-vsplit] #'make-frame
"TAB" #'evil-jump-item)
(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)
:config
(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<object><symbol>= (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)
(evil-collection-require 'proced))
#+end_src
** Completion frameworks
*** 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
: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-separator "\n")
(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
"l" #'next-completion
"h" #'previous-completion
"j" #'next-line
"k" #'previous-line
"ESC" #'delete-completion-window
"q" #'quit-window))
#+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
**** 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). Also setup evil-collection for ivy.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package ivy
:defer 0.5
: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
**** Prompt buffer switch
Essentially add advice to the window split functions or frame creation
functions so that they run ivy-switch-buffer once they're finished.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load "ivy"
(with-eval-after-load "evil"
(advice-add #'evil-window-vsplit :after #'ivy-switch-buffer)
(advice-add #'evil-window-split :after #'ivy-switch-buffer)))
#+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
(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" . "")
("string" . "𝕊")
("true" . "")
("false" . "⊥")
("char" . "")
("int" . "")
("float" . "")
("!" . "¬")
("&&" . "∧")
("||" . "")
("for" . "∀")
("return" . "⟼")
("print" . "")
("lambda" . "λ")
#+end_example
** Dired
Setup for dired. Firstly, as it's an inbuilt package don't let
straight try and download it. Make dired-hide-details-mode the
default mode when dired-mode, as it removes the clutter. Create a
keymap =dx:dired-map= which is bound to the prefix "C-c d", binding
useful dired functions. Setup evil collection for dired (even though
dired doesn't really conflict with evil, there are some black corners
I'd like to adjust)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package dired
:straight nil
:hook (dired-mode-hook . dired-hide-details-mode)
:general
(leader
:infix "d"
"f" #'find-dired
"D" #'dired-other-frame
"d" #'dired-jump)
:config
(with-eval-after-load "evil-collection"
(evil-collection-dired-setup)))
#+end_src
** 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. So, as Emacs is the ultimate editor, I
want to configure and fine tune the window management of Emacs.
As I am a man who requires only the highest of optimisations, I always
am looking for ways to make my system faster. The buffer management
commands are defined in the window library, so I bind them in general
here as well via a wrapping use-package declaration.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Yasnippet
*** Preamble
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.
*** Yasnippet default
Setup global mode after evil mode has been loaded

Collection of snippets, activate after yasnippet has been loaded.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package yasnippet-snippets

** Avy
Setup avy with leader. As I use =avy-goto-char-2= a lot, use the =M-s=
bind.

** Ace window
Though evil provides a great many features in terms of window
management, much greater than what's easily available in Emacs, ace
window can provide some nicer chords for higher management of windows
(closing, switching, etc).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Ripgrep
The ripgrep package provides utilities to grep projects and files for
strings via the rg tool. Though [[*Ivy][ivy]] comes with =counsel-rg= using it

** 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). 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
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

*** Org message
Org message allows for the use of org mode when composing mails,
generating HTML multipart emails. This integrates the WYSIWYG
experience into mail in Emacs while also providing powerful text
features with basically no learning curve (as long as you've already
learnt the basics of org).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** Xwidget
*** Preamble
Xwidget is a package (must be compiled at source) which allows for the
insertion of arbitrary xwidgets into Emacs through buffers. 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 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.
*** Core
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.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
** Eshell
*** Preamble
Eshell is the integrated shell environment for Emacs. 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.
*** Core
Setup a function that /toggles/ the eshell window rather than
just opening it via =+dx/toggle-buffer=.
Along with that setup the prompt so it looks a bit nicer and add
pretty symbols to eshell.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package eshell
:commands +shell/toggle-shell

(leader
"tt" #'+shell/toggle-eshell)

** Elfeed
Elfeed is the perfect RSS feed reader, integrated into Emacs

Magit is *the* git porcelain for Emacs, which perfectly encapsulates

* Major modes, programming and text
Setups for common major modes and languages.
** Text packages
Standard packages and configurations for the text-mode. These
configurations are usually further placed on
*** 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
(use-package flyspell
:hook (text-mode-hook . flyspell-mode)
:general
(general-def

*** White space
Deleting whitespace, highlighting when going beyond the 80th character
limit, all good stuff.
I don't want to highlight whitespace for general mode categories
(Emacs lisp shouldn't really have an 80 character limit; it's a bit of
a wild gun), so set it for specific modes I find need the help.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package whitespace
:straight nil

*** Set auto-fill-mode for all text-modes
Auto fill mode is nice for most text modes, 80 char limit is great.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'auto-fill-mode)
#+end_src
*** Delete a sentence in auto fill
In long lines via truncate lines, deleting till the end of the
sentence was easy via vim motions. However, the same action is
difficult with auto-fill-mode where sentences are separated through
(potentially several) newlines which makes vim motions
difficult. Thus, I propose some form of functionality which allows you
to:
- Find the next closest period denoting the end of the sentence
- Delete the region between the point of invocation and the found period
This essentially does the same task as vim motion based deletion, but
can handle the newlines. To not trample on the toes of any package,
I'll set it to "M-d" (kill-word), the most inoffensive binding
possible which is still mnemonic.
First, the function. I'll use search-forward (from zap* lib) to find
the period. Then auto-fill to make it look nice.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun +text/delete-till-sentence ()
"Delete all text from current point to the next closest period."
(interactive)
(set-mark-command nil)
(search-forward ". ")

** Programming packages
*** Eldoc
Eldoc presents documentation to the user upon placing ones cursor upon

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

** PDF
*** Preamble
PDFs are a great format for (somewhat) immutable text and reports with
great formatting options. Though Emacs isn't really the premier
solution 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.
Furthermore many governmental studies and essays use the PDF
format. If I were to be analysing them in a study or project (for
example, programming a tool using data from them), which I will most
definitely be using Emacs for, having a PDF pane open for occasional
viewing can be very useful.
*** PDF Tools
=pdf-tools= provides the necessary functionality for viewing
PDFs. There is no PDF viewing without this package. =evil-collection=
provides a setup for this mode, so use that.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** C/C++
Setup for C and C++ modes via the cc-mode package.
*** Preamble
C and C++ are great languages for general purpose programming. 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.
Also, with large code bases consistency is important. I personally use
tabs as they are more accessible: anyone can set their tab width such
that it best suits them. Furthermore, tabs produce smaller source
files. However, this isn't set in stone and I will return to no tabs
when needed in projects. Also auto fill mode makes splitting my window
bearable; all text can fit on the screen.

** 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.
Here I configure the REPL for Haskell via the
=interactive-haskell-mode= as well.

"This function is the normal value of the variable `lisp-indent-function'.
The function `calculate-lisp-indent' calls this to determine
if the arguments of a Lisp function call should be indented specially.
INDENT-POINT is the position at which the line being indented begins.
Point is located at the point to indent under (for default indentation);
STATE is the `parse-partial-sexp' state for that position.
If the current line is in a call to a Lisp function that has a non-nil
property `lisp-indent-function' (or the deprecated `lisp-indent-hook'),
it specifies how to indent. The property value can be:
,* `defun', meaning indent `defun'-style
\(this is also the case if there is no property and the function
has a name that begins with \"def\", and three or more arguments);
,* an integer N, meaning indent the first N arguments specially
(like ordinary function arguments), and then indent any further
arguments like a body;
,* a function to call that returns the indentation (or nil).
`lisp-indent-function' calls this function with the same two arguments
that it itself received.
This function returns either the indentation to use, or nil if the
Lisp function does not specify a special indentation."
