-* Intro
-
-This org file is tangled to [[./init.el][init.el]] and constitutes my Emacs
-configuration. =straight.el=, =use-package=, =general.el=, =exwm=,
-=org-mode=, and =magit= are some of the awesome packages powering my
-Emacs setup.

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

-** Naming conventions
-
-The conventions below were inspired by [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom]]'s conventions, found
-[[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/5dacbb7cb1c6ac246a9ccd15e6c4290def67757c/core/core.el#L3-L17][here]]. Naturally, I use my initials, =ab=, instead of =doom=.

-#+begin_src emacs-lisp :comments none
-;; Naming conventions:
-;;
-;; ab-... public variables or non-interactive functions
-;; ab--... private anything (non-interactive), not safe for direct use
-;; ab/... an interactive function; safe for M-x or keybinding
-;; ab:... an evil operator, motion, or command
-;; ab|... a hook function
-;; ab*... an advising function

-** Startup time
-
-Measure and display startup time. Also, temporarily increase
-~gc-cons-threshhold~ during startup to reduce reduce garbage
-collection frequency. Taken from [[https://github.com/dieggsy/dotfiles/tree/3d95bc08033920e077855caf545a975eba52d28d/emacs.d#startup-time][here]].

-** Package management
-
-*** =straight.el=
-
-#+begin_quote
-Next-generation, purely functional package manager for the Emacs
-hacker.

-=straight.el= allows me to have a fully reproducible Emacs setup.

-*** =use-package=
-
-#+begin_quote
-A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
-#+end_quote
-
-=use-package= is an awesome utility for managing and configuring
-packages in a neatly organized way and without compromising on
-performance. So let's install it using =striaght.el= and have it use
-=straight.el= for installing packages.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(straight-use-package 'use-package)
-(setq straight-use-package-by-default t)
-#+end_src
-
-** No littering in =~/.emacs.d=
-
-#+begin_quote
-Help keeping ~/.emacs.d clean
-#+end_quote
-
-By default, even for Emacs' built-in packages, the configuration files
-and persistent data are all over the place. Use =no-littering= to help
-contain the mess.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(use-package no-littering
- :demand t
- :config
- (savehist-mode 1)
- (add-to-list 'savehist-additional-variables 'kill-ring)

- (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms
- `((".*" ,(no-littering-expand-var-file-name "auto-save/") t))))
-#+end_src
-
-** Custom file (=custom.el=)
-
-I'm not planning on using the custom file much, but even so, I
-definitely don't want it mixing with =init.el=. So, here, let's give
-it it's own file.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq custom-file (no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "custom.el"))
-(when (file-exists-p custom-file)
- (load custom-file))
-#+end_src
-
-** Better =$PATH= handling
-
-Let's use [[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] to make Emacs use the =$PATH= as set up
-in my shell.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(use-package exec-path-from-shell
- :defer 1
- :init
- (setq exec-path-from-shell-check-startup-files nil)
- :config

- ;; while we're at it, let's fix access to our running ssh-agent
- (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "SSH_AGENT_PID")
- (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"))
-#+end_src
-
-** Server
-
-Start server if not already running. Alternatively, can be done by
-issuing =emacs --daemon= in the terminal, which can be automated with
-a systemd service or using =brew services start emacs= on macOS. I use
-Emacs as my window manager (via =exwm=), so I always start Emacs on
-login; so starting the server from inside Emacs is good enough for me.
-
-See [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html#Emacs-Server][Using Emacs as a Server]].
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp

-** Defaults
-
-*** Disable disabled commands
-
-Emacs disables some commands by default that could persumably be
-confusing for novice users. Let's disable that.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq disabled-command-function nil)
-#+end_src
-
-*** Kill-ring
-
-Save what I copy into clipboard from other applications into Emacs'
-kill-ring, which would allow me to still be able to easily access it
-in case I kill (cut or copy) something else inside Emacs before
-yanking (pasting) what I'd originally intended to.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t)
-#+end_src
-
-*** Keep more =*Messages*=
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq message-log-max 10000)
-#+end_src
-
-*** Minibuffer
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t
- resize-mini-windows t)
-#+end_src
-
-*** Lazy-person-friendly yes/no prompts
-
-Lazy people would prefer to type fewer keystrokes, especially for yes
-or no questions. I'm lazy.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(defalias 'yes-or-no-p #'y-or-n-p)
-#+end_src
-
-*** =*scratch*=
-
-Let's customize the =*scratch*= buffer a bit. First off, I don't need
-the default hint.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq initial-scratch-message "")
-#+end_src
-
-Also, let's use Text mode as the major mode, in case I want to
-customize it (=*scratch*='s default major mode, Fundamental mode,
-can't really be customized).
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq initial-major-mode 'text-mode)
-#+end_src
-
-*** More useful frame titles
-
-Show either the file name or the buffer name (in case the buffer isn't
-visiting a file). Borrowed from Emacs Prelude.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq frame-title-format
- '("" invocation-name " - "
- (:eval (if (buffer-file-name)
- (abbreviate-file-name (buffer-file-name))
- "%b"))))
-#+end_src
-
-*** Backups
-
-Emacs' default backup settings aren't that great. Let's use more
-sensible options. See documentation for the ~make-backup-file~
-variable.
-
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(setq backup-by-copying t
- version-control t)
-#+end_src
-
-** Packages
-
-The packages in this section are absolutely essential to my everyday
-workflow, and they play key roles in how I do my computing. They
-immensely enhance the Emacs experience for me; both using Emacs, and
-customizing it.
-
-*** [[https://github.com/noctuid/general.el][general.el]]
-
-#+begin_quote
-More convenient key definitions in emacs

-#+end_src
-
-*** [[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode]]
-
-#+begin_quote
-Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning
-projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-text
-system.
-#+end_quote
-
-In short, my favourite way of life.
