  11 This org file is my literate configuration for GNU Emacs, and is
  12 tangled to [[./init.el][init.el]]. Packages are installed and managed using
  13 [[https://github.com/emacscollective/borg][Borg]]. Over the years, I've taken inspiration from configurations of
  14 many different people. Some of the configurations that I can remember
  15 off the top of my head are:
  16
  17 - [[https://github.com/dieggsy/dotfiles][dieggsy/dotfiles]]: literate Emacs and dotfiles configuration, uses
  18   straight.el for managing packages
  19 - [[https://github.com/dakra/dmacs][dakra/dmacs]]: literate Emacs configuration, using Borg for managing
  20   packages
  21 - [[http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html][Sacha Chua's literate Emacs configuration]]
  22 - [[https://github.com/dakrone/eos][dakrone/eos]]
  23 - Ryan Rix's [[http://doc.rix.si/cce/cce.html][Complete Computing Environment]] ([[http://doc.rix.si/projects/fsem.html][about cce]])
  24 - [[https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs][jwiegley/dot-emacs]]: nix-based configuration
  25 - [[https://github.com/wasamasa/dotemacs][wasamasa/dotemacs]]
  26 - [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom Emacs]]
  27
  28 I'd like to have a fully reproducible Emacs setup (part of the reason
  29 why I store my configuration in this repository) but unfortunately out
  30 of the box, that's not achievable with =package.el=, not currently
  31 anyway. So, I've opted to use Borg. For what it's worth, I briefly
  32 experimented with [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight.el]], but found that it added about 2 seconds
  33 to my init time; which is unacceptable for me: I use Emacs as my
  34 window manager (via EXWM) and coming from bspwm, I'm too used to
  35 having fast startup times.
  36
  37 ** Installation
  38
  39 To use this config for your Emacs, first you need to clone this repo,
  40 then bootstrap Borg, tell Borg to retrieve package submodules, and
  41 byte-compiled the packages. Something along these lines should work:
  42
  43 #+begin_src sh :tangle no
  44 git clone https://github.com/aminb/dotfiles ~/.emacs.d
  45 cd ~/.emacs.d
  46 make bootstrap-borg
  47 make tangle-init
  48 make bootstrap
  49 make build

  72 Enable =view-mode=, which both makes the file read-only (as a reminder
  73 that =init.el= is an auto-generated file, not supposed to be edited),
  74 and provides some convenient key bindings for browsing through the
  75 file.

 134 ** Emacs initialization
 135
 136 I'd like to do a couple of measurements of Emacs' startup time. First,
 137 let's see how long Emacs takes to start up, before even loading
 138 =init.el=, i.e. =user-init-file=:
 139
 140 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 141 (defvar ab--before-user-init-time (current-time)
 142   "Value of `current-time' when Emacs begins loading `user-init-file'.")
 143 (message "Loading Emacs...done (%.3fs)"
 144          (float-time (time-subtract ab--before-user-init-time
 145                                     before-init-time)))
 146 #+end_src
 147
 148 Also, temporarily increase ~gc-cons-threshhold~ and
 149 ~gc-cons-percentage~ during startup to reduce garbage collection
 150 frequency. Clearing the ~file-name-handler-alist~ seems to help reduce
 151 startup time as well.
 152
 153 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 154 (defvar ab--gc-cons-threshold gc-cons-threshold)
 155 (defvar ab--gc-cons-percentage gc-cons-percentage)
 156 (defvar ab--file-name-handler-alist file-name-handler-alist)
 157 (setq gc-cons-threshold (* 400 1024 1024)  ; 400 MiB
 158       gc-cons-percentage 0.6
 159       file-name-handler-alist nil
 160       ;; sidesteps a bug when profiling with esup
 161       esup-child-profile-require-level 0)
 162 #+end_src
 163
 164 Of course, we'd like to set them back to their defaults once we're
 165 done initializing.
 166
 167 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 168 (add-hook
 169  'after-init-hook
 170  (lambda ()
 171    (let ((elapsed (float-time (time-subtract (current-time)
 172                                              ab--before-user-init-time))))
 173      (message "Loading %s...done (%.3fs) [after-init]"
 174               user-init-file elapsed))
 175    (setq gc-cons-threshold ab--gc-cons-threshold
 176          gc-cons-percentage ab--gc-cons-percentage
 177          file-name-handler-alist ab--file-name-handler-alist)))
 178 #+end_src
 179
 180 Increase the number of lines kept in message logs (the =*Messages*=
 181 buffer).
 182
 183 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 184 (setq message-log-max 20000)
 185 #+end_src
 186
 187 Optionally, we could suppress some byte compiler warnings like below,
 188 but for now I've decided to keep them enabled. See documentation for
 189 ~byte-compile-warnings~ for more details.
 190
 191 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 192 ;; (setq byte-compile-warnings
 193 ;;       '(not free-vars unresolved noruntime lexical make-local))
 194 #+end_src
 195
 196 ** Package management
 197
 198 *** No =package.el=
 199
 200 I can do all my package management things with Borg, and don't need
 201 Emacs' built-in =package.el=. Emacs 27 lets us disable =package.el= in
 202 the =early-init-file= (see [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=24acb31c04b4048b85311d794e600ecd7ce60d3b][here]]).
 203
 204 #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle early-init.el
 205 (setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
 206 #+end_src
 207
 208 But since Emacs 27 isn't out yet (Emacs 26 is just around the corner
 209 right now), and even when released it'll be long before most distros
 210 ship in their repos, I'll still put the old workaround with the
 211 commented call to ~package-initialize~ here anyway.
 212
 213 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 214 (setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
 215 ;; (package-initialize)
 216 #+end_src
 217
 218 *** Borg
 219
 220 #+begin_quote
 221 Assimilate Emacs packages as Git submodules
 222 #+end_quote
 223
 224 [[https://github.com/emacscollective/borg][Borg]] is at the heart of package management of my Emacs setup. In
 225 short, it creates a git submodule in =lib/= for each package, which
 226 can then be managed with the help of Magit or other tools.
 227
 228 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 229 (setq user-init-file (or load-file-name buffer-file-name)
 230       user-emacs-directory (file-name-directory user-init-file))
 231 (add-to-list 'load-path
 232              (expand-file-name "lib/borg" user-emacs-directory))
 233 (require 'borg)
 234 (borg-initialize)
 235 #+end_src
 236
 237 *** =use-package=
 238
 239 #+begin_quote
 240 A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
 241 #+end_quote
 242
 243 [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]] is an awesome utility for managing and configuring
 244 packages (in our case especially the latter) in a neatly organized way
 245 and without compromising on performance.
 246
 247 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 248 (require 'use-package)
 249 (if nil                             ; set to t when need to debug init
 250     (setq use-package-verbose t
 251           use-package-expand-minimally nil
 252           use-package-compute-statistics t
 253           debug-on-error t)
 254   (setq use-package-verbose nil
 255         use-package-expand-minimally t))
 256 #+end_src
 257
 258 *** Epkg
 259
 260 #+begin_quote
 261 Browse the Emacsmirror package database
 262 #+end_quote
 263
 264 Epkg provides access to a local copy of the [[https://emacsmirror.net][Emacsmirror]] package
 265 database, low-level functions for querying the database, and a
 266 =package.el=-like user interface for browsing the available packages.
 267
 268 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 269 (use-package epkg
 270   :defer t)
 271 #+end_src
 272
 273 ** No littering in =~/.emacs.d=
 274
 275 #+begin_quote
 276 Help keeping ~/.emacs.d clean
 277 #+end_quote
 278
 279 By default, even for Emacs' built-in packages, the configuration files
 280 and persistent data are all over the place. Use =no-littering= to help
 281 contain the mess.
 282
 283 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 284 (use-package no-littering
 285   :demand t
 286   :config
 287   (savehist-mode 1)
 288   (add-to-list 'savehist-additional-variables 'kill-ring)
 289   (save-place-mode 1)
 290   (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms
 291         `((".*" ,(no-littering-expand-var-file-name "auto-save/") t))))
 292 #+end_src
 293
 294 ** Custom file (=custom.el=)
 295
 296 I'm not planning on using the custom file much, but even so, I
 297 definitely don't want it mixing with =init.el=. So, here; let's give
 298 it it's own file. While at it, treat themes as safe.
 299
 300 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 301 (use-package custom
 302   :no-require t
 303   :config
 304   (setq custom-file (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "custom.el"))
 305   (when (file-exists-p custom-file)
 306     (load custom-file))
 307   (setf custom-safe-themes t))
 308 #+end_src
 309
 310 ** Better =$PATH= handling
 311
 312 Let's use [[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] to make Emacs use the =$PATH= as set up
 313 in my shell.
 314
 315 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 316 (use-package exec-path-from-shell
 317   :defer 1
 318   :init
 319   (setq exec-path-from-shell-check-startup-files nil)
 320   :config
 321   (exec-path-from-shell-initialize)
 322   ;; while we're at it, let's fix access to our running ssh-agent
 323   (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "SSH_AGENT_PID")
 324   (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"))
 325 #+end_src
 326
 327 ** Server
 328
 329 Start server if not already running. Alternatively, can be done by
 330 issuing =emacs --daemon= in the terminal, which can be automated with
 331 a systemd service or using =brew services start emacs= on macOS. I use
 332 Emacs as my window manager (via EXWM), so I always start Emacs on
 333 login; so starting the server from inside Emacs is good enough for me.
 334
 335 See [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html#Emacs-Server][Using Emacs as a Server]].
 336
 337 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 338 (use-package server
 339   :config (or (server-running-p) (server-mode)))
 340 #+end_src
 341
 342 ** Unicode support
 343
 344 Font stack with better unicode support, around =Ubuntu Mono= and
 345 =Hack=.
 346
 347 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 348 (dolist (ft (fontset-list))

 374 ** Defaults
 375
 376 *** Time and battery in mode-line
 377
 378 Enable displaying time and battery in the mode-line, since I'm not
 379 using the Xfce panel anymore. Also, I don't need to see the load
 380 average on a regular basis, so disable that.
 381
 382 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 383 (use-package time
 384   :ensure nil
 385   :init

 392   :config

 394 #+end_src
 395
 396 *** Smaller fringe
 397
 398 Might want to set the fringe to a smaller value, especially if using
 399 EXWM. I'm fine with the default for now.
 400
 401 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 402 ;; (fringe-mode '(3 . 1))
 403 (fringe-mode nil)
 404 #+end_src
 405
 406 *** Disable disabled commands
 407
 408 Emacs disables some commands by default that could persumably be
 409 confusing for novice users. Let's disable that.
 410
 411 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 412 (setq disabled-command-function nil)
 413 #+end_src
 414
 415 *** Kill-ring
 416
 417 Save what I copy into clipboard from other applications into Emacs'
 418 kill-ring, which would allow me to still be able to easily access it
 419 in case I kill (cut or copy) something else inside Emacs before
 420 yanking (pasting) what I'd originally intended to.
 421
 422 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 423 (setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t)
 424 #+end_src
 425
 426 *** Minibuffer
 427
 428 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 429 (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t
 430       resize-mini-windows t)
 431 #+end_src
 432
 433 *** Lazy-person-friendly yes/no prompts
 434
 435 Lazy people would prefer to type fewer keystrokes, especially for yes
 436 or no questions. I'm lazy.
 437
 438 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 439 (defalias 'yes-or-no-p #'y-or-n-p)
 440 #+end_src
 441
 442 *** Startup screen and =*scratch*=
 443
 444 Firstly, let Emacs know that I'd like to have =*scratch*= as my
 445 startup buffer.
 446
 447 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 448 (setq initial-buffer-choice t)
 449 #+end_src
 450
 451 Now let's customize the =*scratch*= buffer a bit. First off, I don't
 452 need the default hint.
 453
 454 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 455 (setq initial-scratch-message nil)
 456 #+end_src
 457
 458 Also, let's use Text mode as the major mode, in case I want to
 459 customize it (=*scratch*='s default major mode, Fundamental mode,
 460 can't really be customized).
 461
 462 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 463 (setq initial-major-mode 'text-mode)
 464 #+end_src
 465
 466 Inhibit the buffer list when more than 2 files are loaded.
 467
 468 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 469 (setq inhibit-startup-buffer-menu t)
 470 #+end_src
 471
 472 I don't really need to see the startup screen or echo area message
 473 either.
 474
 475 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 476 (advice-add #'display-startup-echo-area-message :override #'ignore)
 477 (setq inhibit-startup-screen t
 478       inhibit-startup-echo-area-message user-login-name)
 479 #+end_src
 480
 481 *** More useful frame titles
 482
 483 Show either the file name or the buffer name (in case the buffer isn't
 484 visiting a file). Borrowed from Emacs Prelude.
 485
 486 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 487 (setq frame-title-format
 488       '("" invocation-name " - "
 489         (:eval (if (buffer-file-name)
 490                    (abbreviate-file-name (buffer-file-name))
 491                  "%b"))))
 492 #+end_src
 493
 494 *** Backups
 495
 496 Emacs' default backup settings aren't that great. Let's use more
 497 sensible options. See documentation for the ~make-backup-file~
 498 variable.
 499
 500 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
 501 (setq backup-by-copying t
 502       version-control t)
 503 #+end_src
 504
 505 ** Packages
 506
 507 The packages in this section are absolutely essential to my everyday
 508 workflow, and they play key roles in how I do my computing. They
 509 immensely enhance the Emacs experience for me; both using Emacs, and
 510 customizing it.
 511
