Emacs config

This is my emacs configuration. It is structured as an org-mode file, to easily provide context and documentation.

Last export:

Setup

Early init

This ends up in early-init.el.

  ;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
  ;; Prevent package.el from loading packages until we're ready for it
  (setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
  ;; Don't resize the frame to preserve the number of columns or lines
  ;; being displayed when setting font, menu bar, tool bar, tab bar,
  ;; internal borders, fringes, or scroll bars.  Since I use a tiling
  ;; window manager, this option is 1. useless anyways and 2. _terribly_ expensive.
  (setq frame-inhibit-implied-resize t)
  ;; Suppress warnings and errors during asynchronous native compilation
  (setq native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors nil)
  ;; Prevent unwanted runtime builds; packages are compiled ahead-of-time when
  ;; they are installed and site files are compiled when gccemacs is installed.
  ;; (setq comp-deferred-compilation nil)
  (setq native-comp-deferred-compilation nil)

  ;; Prevent unwanted runtime builds in gccemacs (native-comp); packages are
  ;; compiled ahead-of-time when they are installed and site files are compiled
  ;; when gccemacs is installed.
  (setq comp-deferred-compilation nil)

  ;; This should fix input lag by ~80% when using PGTK
  (setq-default pgtk-wait-for-event-timeout 0)

Enable lexical binding

Setting lexical-binding to t can improve startup time. This has to be first!

  ;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

Personal variables

This sets some variables with my personal preferences for easy customization

  (defvar my/default-font "Monaspace Neon")
  (defvar my/variable-width-font "Iosevka Aile")
  (defvar my/comment-font "Monaspace Radon")
  (defvar my/default-font-height 120)
  (defvar my/default-font-weight 'light)
  (defvar my/default-font-width 'normal)
  (defvar my/variable-width-font-height 1.1)
  (defvar my/config-file-path (expand-file-name "config.org" user-emacs-directory))
  (defvar my/snippets-dir (expand-file-name "snippets" user-emacs-directory))
  (defvar my/local-init-file (expand-file-name "local-init.el" user-emacs-directory))
  (defvar my/leader "C-c")

And my personal info.

  (setq user-full-name "Erwin Boskma"
        user-mail-address "erwin@datarift.nl")

Garbage collector

Increasing the garbage collector threshold should also improve startup time. This increases it from 800 kB to 128MB

  (setq gc-cons-threshold (* 128 1024 1024))

This resets the threshold back to it's default. This should not be done if lsp-mode is enabled, it needs the higher threshold.

  (add-hook 'after-init-hook
            (lambda ()
              (setq gc-cons-threshold 800000)
              (message "gc-cons-threshold restored to %s"
                       gc-cons-threshold)))

Increase process output buffer

LSP responses can be rather large, in the 800KiB - 3MiB range. 2MiB is a decent value

  (setq read-process-output-max (* 2 1024 1024))

Package sources

Add repositories where packages are installed from.

    (setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                             ("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")
                             ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
                             ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
                             ("onpa" . "https://olanilsson.bitbucket.io/packages/")))

Bootstrap use-package

If use-package is not installed, install it.

NOTE: Disabled because it is builtin since emacs 29

  (require 'package)
  (package-initialize)
  (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
    (package-refresh-contents)
    (package-install 'use-package)
    (cl-eval-when 'compile (require 'use-package)))

By default packages should always be installed from the package manager. This is equivalent to setting :ensure t on each call to use-package. To override this for a package (e.g. because it is builtin, or a subpackage), use :ensure nil. This is done automatically for packages that use :load-path.

  (setq use-package-always-ensure t)

Bootstrap straight.el and use-package [DISABLED]

straight.el is a pure functional package manager and installs packages from git instead of downloading tars

  (defvar bootstrap-version)
  ;; Workaround for flycheck. See https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/issues/508 for more info
  (setq straight-fix-flycheck t)
  (let ((bootstrap-file
         (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
        (bootstrap-version 6))
    (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
      (with-current-buffer
          (url-retrieve-synchronously
           "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radian-software/straight.el/develop/install.el"
           'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
        (goto-char (point-max))
        (eval-print-last-sexp)))
    (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))

Install use-package and make it use straight.el by default.

  (straight-use-package 'use-package)
  (setq straight-use-package-by-default t)

general.el

general.el provides a more convenient way for binding keys in emacs. It also integrates with use-package with the :general keyword.

  (use-package general
    :demand t
    :config
    (progn
      (general-define-key
       :prefix my/leader
       "a" 'org-agenda
       "k" 'general-describe-keybindings)
      (general-define-key
       "C-M-z" 'zap-to-char
       "M-z" 'zap-up-to-char)))

Setup asdf [DISABLED]

asdf is a tool to install and use multiple versions of development tools and programming languages.

  (when (executable-find "asdf")
    (use-package asdf-vm
      :straight (:host github :repo "delonnewman/asdf-vm.el")
      ;; :load-path "~/.config/emacs/elisp/asdf-vm.el/"
      :config
      (asdf-vm-init)))

Set custom settings to load in temp file [DISABLED]

Setting custom-file stops emacs from adding customised settings to init.el. I prefer to specify everything in this file, so this creates a temporary file where the customisations are stored. This effectively localises customisations to a session

  (setq custom-file (make-temp-file "emacs-custom"))

Disable the customize interface

The customize functionality is annoying and messes up regularly. Stuff it has done so far:

  • Clobber the path to mix in Elixir projects

This has been borrowed from Doom Emacs

  (dolist (sym '(customize-option customize-browse customize-group customize-face
                                  customize-rogue customize-saved customize-apropos
                                  customize-changed customize-unsaved customize-variable
                                  customize-set-value customize-customized customize-set-variable
                                  customize-apropos-faces customize-save-variable
                                  customize-apropos-groups customize-apropos-options
                                  customize-changed-options customize-save-customized))
    (put sym 'disabled (concat "This config doesn't support `customize', configure Emacs from " user-emacs-directory "/config.org instead")))
  (put 'customize-themes 'disabled (concat "Use `load-theme' in " user-emacs-directory "/config.org instead"))

Custom packages location

Emacs only includes files directly under user-emacs-directory. I like to keep custom packages in a separate elisp/ subdirectory.

  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "elisp/" user-emacs-directory))

Record key frequency

Records what keys are used the most, so I can see if I can optimise shortcuts

  (use-package keyfreq
    :config
    (keyfreq-mode 1)
    (keyfreq-autosave-mode 1))

Save minibuffer history

  (use-package savehist
    :ensure nil
    :init
    (savehist-mode))

Preferences

Don't display the help screen at startup

  (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

Enable line wrapping

  (global-visual-line-mode 1)

Disable toolbar and scroll bar

  (tool-bar-mode -1)
  (menu-bar-mode -1)
  (scroll-bar-mode -1)

Don't show the warnings buffer for anything lesser than an error.

  (setq warning-minimum-level :error)

Keep buffers up-to-date automatically

  (global-auto-revert-mode t)

Automatically scroll the compile buffer

  (setq compilation-scroll-output 'first-error)

Always display line numbers, and the relative line number

  (setq display-line-numbers-type 'relative)
  (global-display-line-numbers-mode)

Show matching parenthesese

  (show-paren-mode 1)
  (setq show-paren-style 'expression)

Surround marked text with (), [] or {}

  (electric-pair-mode 1)

Centralise backup files (the filename~ files), so they don't pollute the project.

  (setq backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.local/share/emacs/backup"))
        backup-by-copying t   ; Don't delink hardlinks
        version-control t     ; Use version numbers on backup files
        delete-old-versions t ; Automatically delete obsolete backups
        kept-new-versions 20  ; How many of the newest versions to keep
        kept-old-versions 5   ; And how many of the oldest
        )

Same for auto save files (the ones with the #)

  (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.local/share/emacs/autosave/" t)))

Default indenting to spaces. If tabs are necessary, this can be set buffer-local. A single tab character can be added using C-q TAB

  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

Show trailing whitespace

  (setq show-trailing-whitespace t)

Delete trailing whitespace on save.

  (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)

Sentences end in one space, not two. We're not using typewriters.

  (setq sentence-end-double-space nil)

Don't move files to trash when deleting.

  (setq delete-by-moving-to-trash nil)

Restore cursor position when re-opening a file

  (save-place-mode t)

Prefer to open frames in a horizontal split and make sure they're of a decent width

  (setq split-height-threshold nil
        window-min-width 100)

Set fill column to 80

  (setq-default fill-column 80)

Kill whole lines instead of clearing them

  (setq kill-whole-line t)

Interface

Easy edit config file

Disabled because the configuration is handled by Nix using emacs-overlay

  (defun find-config ()
    "Edit config.org"
    (interactive)
    (find-file my/config-file-path))

  (general-define-key
       :prefix my/leader
       "C" 'find-config)

Appearance

Enable pixel scrolling.

  (setq pixel-scroll-precision-mode t)

I like the dracula theme

  (use-package dracula-theme
    :init
    (load-theme 'dracula t))

Monokai Pro is also pretty.

  (use-package monokai-pro-theme
    :init
    (load-theme 'monokai-pro-spectrum t))

Set fonts.

  (defun my/set-font-size (&optional frame)
    (let* ((frame (or frame (selected-frame)))
           (geometry (frame-monitor-attribute 'geometry frame))
           (mm-size (frame-monitor-attribute 'mm-size frame))
           (width-px (caddr geometry))
           (width-mm (car mm-size))
           (width-in (/ width-mm 25.4))
           (display-dpi (/ width-px width-in))
           (font-height (cond
                         ((< display-dpi 110) 120)
                         ((< display-dpi 130) 140)
                         ((< display-dpi 160) 160)
                         (t 160))))
      (set-face-attribute 'default frame :height font-height)))

  (add-hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook 'my/set-font-size)
  (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'my/set-font-size)

  (defun my/setup-fonts ()
    (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family my/default-font :weight 'light)
    (set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-face nil :font my/comment-font)
    (set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil
                        :font my/variable-width-font
                        :height my/variable-width-font-height))
  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'my/setup-fonts)

Emoji support

    (defun set-emoji-font ()
      (when (member "Twitter Color Emoji" (font-family-list))
        (set-fontset-font t 'emoji (font-spec :family "Twitter Color Emoji") nil 'prepend)))

    (use-package emojify
      :defer t
      :init
      (setq emojify-display-style 'unicode)
      :config
      (set-emoji-font)

Misc

direnv

envrc adds support for direnv to emacs. envrc works on a per-buffer basis, so when you open multiple projects the environments don't pollute eachother. NOTE: this should be loaded last.

  (use-package envrc
    :init
    (envrc-global-mode)
    :general
    (:prefix my/leader "e" '(:keymap envrc-command-map)))

Writing

Enable flyspell

  (use-package flyspell
    :ensure nil
    :init
    (setq ispell-list-command "--list")
    :hook

  (use-package flyspell-correct
    :after flyspell
    :general

    (:keymaps 'flyspell-mode-map
              "C-;" 'flyspell-correct-wrapper))

Use ivy for flyspell suggestions. Use M-o to switch to the actions (e.g. saving a word to your dictionary).

  (use-package flyspell-correct-ivy
    :after flyspell-correct)

Load local init file

If local-init.el exists, load it.

  (when (file-readable-p my/local-init-file)
    (load my/local-init-file))
