My not so Extremely Minimal Alt + Ctrl + Shift.

Moved to Modular Structure from Literate Org-Mode config

This post doesn’t strictly follow the most recent version(Updated: 2024-04-05).
That’s available on Github.

(Prefer Built-in packages over 3rd Party ones.)

JEMACS

Emacs really does stand for “Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift”, and not “Editing Macros”, as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).

— The Gnus Newsreader Manual > 12.7.1 Keystrokes

BTW, I prefer all headings fall nicely under the main & top node, so the H1.

Table of Contents :TOC_5_org:

NOTES

Aren’t You Said Extremely Minimal?

Trying hard to keep this minimal, but keeps growing :/

Conventions

Followed “D.1 Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions” in Emacs Manual when using modular structured configuration.

Comments

Followed “D.7 Tips on Writing Comments” in Emacs Manual when using modular structured configuration.

Three semicolons are used for top-level sections, four for sub-sections, five for sub-sub-sections and so on.

Then, you can enable outline-mode, and use outline-show-only-headings.

Cross Reference

Follows “5 Cross-references” in GNU Texinfo Manual.

Preview ORG file

Preview this org file in browser by C-c, C-e, h, o, or see Org Preview.

Acknowledge

Heavily influenced by purcell/emasc.d, bbatsov/prelude and daviwil/emacs-from-scratch.

INSTALL

In any case, investigate your git repo and fix .gitignore to not push elpa, etc. unnecessary files.

Dependency

  • git
  • hunspell and dictionary files (for ‘flyspell’)
  • Nerd patched font (for ’nerd-icons')
    • I’m using manually patched ‘BerkeleyMono Nerd Fonts’
  • fd, ag, rg in System, AND ALSO on Emacs (for ‘projectile’)

By cloning the repo itself as .emacs.d

$git clone [email protected]:ptrtoj/Jemacs.git ~/.emacs.d

$cd YOUR/GIT/REPO_DIR
$git clone [email protected]:ptrtoj/Jemacs.git
$ln -sv YOUR/GIT/REPO_DIR ~/.emacs.d

early-init.el Part

Quote from ‘50.4.6 The Early Init File’ (from Emacs Manual)

This file is loaded before the package system and GUI is initialized, so in it you can customize variables that affect the package initialization process, such as ‘package-enable-at-startup’, ‘package-load-list’, and ‘package-user-dir’.

package-enable-at-startup

Purcell sets ‘package-enable-at-startup’ to ’nil’ (see purcell/emacs.d/early-init.el).

However, Protesilaos disagrees (see https://github.com/protesilaos/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/.emacs.d/early-init.el, Line 77)( Couldn’t feel noticable difference, yet

(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

LSP_USE_PLISTS

Removed (setenv "LSP_USE_PLISTS" "true"). Rather added to system ’env’ var, because of ’exec-path-from-shell’

init.el Part

Implementation of JEMACS.

Use-Package

Initiate

(require 'use-package)
(use-package package
  :bind
  ("C-c u p" . package-refresh-contents)
  :config
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
  (package-initialize)
  (unless package-archive-contents
	(package-refresh-contents)))

Auto Update

Automatically update packages. But can be updated manually by C-c, u, g.

(use-package auto-package-update
  :ensure t
  :bind
  ("C-c u g" . auto-package-update-now)
  :config
  (setq auto-package-update-prompt-before-update t)
  (setq auto-package-update-delete-old-versions t))

Emacs Defaults

(use-package emacs
  :custom
  (user-full-name "WooHyung Jeon")
  (user-mail-address "[email protected]")
  ;;(visible-bell t)

  ;; Obsoleted by using 'dashboard'
  ;;(inhibit-startup-screen t)
  ;;(inhibit-startup-message t)
  ;;(inhibit-startup-echo-area-message t)
  ;;(initial-major-mode 'fundamental-mode)

  ;; old way to change to 'y-or-n-p'
  ;;(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)

  ;; new and correct way to set 'y-or-n-p'
  (setopt use-short-answers t)

  ;; Look two consecutive headings below
  (gc-cons-threshold (* 4 1024 1024))
  (read-process-output-max (* 1024 1024)))

gc-cons-threshold is too low

is claimed by lsp-mode in this page’s performance section.

About Garbage Colleciton see E.3 Garbage Collection in Elisp Reference Manual.

read-process-output-max is also too low

is again claimed by lsp-mode in the same page.

Fix MacOS Path Issue

(use-package exec-path-from-shell
  :ensure t
  :config
  (dolist (var '("LSP_USE_PLISTS"))
	(add-to-list 'exec-path-from-shell-variables var))
  (when (memq window-system '(mac ns x))
	(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)))

Personal Functions

Load personal functions from libj directory. (see: Emacs Manual)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/libj")
(load "utils")

Editing

Revert Automatically

See Emacs Manual.

(use-package autorevert
  :diminish (auto-revert-mode)
  :custom
  (global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers t))

Key Bindings

Personal key bindings, which aren’t written directly into the ‘use-package’ part. New bindings are left, and replacement or 3rd party package bindings are moved to each package’s ‘use-package’ file.

Considering General.el.

(use-package bind-keys
  :bind
  ;; Personal Additions
  ("C-c k" . describe-personal-keybindings)) ; Show personal keybindings

Disable custom.el

Re-route ‘custom’ settings to ‘custom-file’ Prevent the custom section written in this file.

(setq custom-file (concat user-emacs-directory "custom.el"))
(when (file-exists-p custom-file)
  (load custom-file))

Abbreviation

Complete and expand abbreviation

(use-package dabbrev
  :diminish (abbrev-mode)
  :bind
  (("M-/"   . dabbrev-completion)
   ("C-M-/" . dabbrev-expand))
  :config
  (add-to-list 'dabbrev-ignored-buffer-modes 'doc-view-mode)
  (add-to-list 'dabbrev-ignored-buffer-modes 'pdf-view-mode))

Delete Selection as I Type

(use-package delsel
  :config
  (delete-selection-mode 1))

Eldoc

A buffer-local minor mode that helps with looking up documentation of symbols (functions, methods, classes, variables, etc.) in your program

(Seems it automatically turns on ’elisp’ files, but ‘C’ file complains, if LSP such as ’eglot’ isn’t enabled)

(use-package eldoc
  :diminish
  :hook
  ;; (emacs-lisp-mode . turn-on-eldoc-mode))
  (prog-mode . turn-on-eldoc-mode))

Pair Parenthesis Automatically

(use-package elec-pair
  :hook
  (prog-mode . electric-pair-mode)
  (org-mode . electric-pair-mode))

Files

Do not make *~ backup files

(use-package files
  :custom
  (make-backup-files nil))

Spell Check

Dependency:

  • ‘hunspell’

  • ‘Spelling Files’ such as `*.aff` & `*.dic`

    (use-package flyspell :diminish :custom (ispell-local-dictionary “en_US”) :hook (text-mode . flyspell-mode) (prog-mode . flyspell-prog-mode))

    ;; Telling ispell-mode to use hunspell. Already handled by ‘ispell.el’. ;;(setq ispell-program-name “/opt/homebrew/bin/hunspell”)

Show URL as clickable links.

Using, org-mode instead of link in el file.

(use-package goto-addr
  :config
  (global-goto-address-mode))

Helpful

(use-package helpful
  :ensure ;TODO:
  :bind
  ([remap describe-function] . helpful-callable)
  ([remap describe-variable] . helpful-variable)
  ([remap describe-key] . helpful-key)
  ([remap describe-command] . helpful-command)

Treat some-long-named-var as one word

(use-package subword
  :diminish (superword-mode)

  :ensure t)

Show Line Numbers

(use-package display-line-numbers

  :config
  (global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)
  (dolist (mode '(term-mode-hook		; don't show in terminals

Theme

‘Emacs’, the only true & correct editor defaults to light-theme, but if it’s boring, use below

  (setq catppuccin-flavor 'latte)

Should come after ’theme’, see ‘Commentary - [FIXED] ISSUE: 2024-04-09’

[FIXED] ISSUE: 2024-04-09 ‘Theme’ resets ‘font-lock-keyword-face’ and ‘font-lock-comment-face’. So these should be placed under the ’theme.el’.

(use-package faces
  :config
  (set-face-attribute 'font-lock-keyword-face nil :weight 'bold)
