Packaging
Package.el
Package.el is the built-in package manager in Emacs. This is where the fun begins.
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives
'(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
("marmalade" . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")))
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(package-initialize)
use-package
use-package is a nifty macro that interfaces with Package.el
, keeping package-specific
configuration all in once place. It's pretty much the basis of this entire config.
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'use-package))
(eval-when-compile
(require 'use-package))
(setq use-package-compute-statistics t)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)
(setq use-package-always-pin "melpa")
(setq use-package-verbose t)
Custom Keywords
A few useful :keyword
macros that extend the vanilla use-package
functionality.
:company
(defun use-package-company-normalize (name keyword args)
"Normalize the KEYWORD with NAME :company with arguments ARGS into a list of pairs for the handler."
(use-package-as-one (symbol-name keyword) args
(lambda (label arg)
(unless (or (consp arg) (use-package-non-nil-symbolp arg))
(use-package-error
(concat
label
"<symbol> or "
"(<symbol or list of symbols> . <symbol or function>) or "
"a list of these")))
(use-package-normalize-pairs
(lambda (k)
(or (use-package-non-nil-symbolp k)
(and (consp k)
(not (cdr (last k)))
(seq-every-p 'use-package-non-nil-symbolp k))))
#'use-package-recognize-function
name label arg))))
;;;###autoload
(defun use-package-company-handler (name _keyword args rest state)
"Generate a function and hook from each pair in NAME ARGS for the keyword with NAME :company, appending the forms to the ‘use-package’ declaration specified by REST and STATE."
(use-package-concat
(use-package-process-keywords name rest state)
(mapcan
(lambda (def)
(let ((modes (car def))

(when backend
(append

(append company-backends '(,backend)))))
(mapcar
(lambda (mode)
`(add-hook

#',fun))
(if (use-package-non-nil-symbolp modes) (list modes) modes))))))
(use-package-normalize-commands args))))
(defalias 'use-package-normalize/:company 'use-package-company-normalize)
(defalias 'use-package-handler/:company 'use-package-company-handler)
(defalias 'use-package-autoloads/:company 'use-package-autoloads-mode)
(setq use-package-keywords
(let ((idx (+ 1 (cl-position :hook use-package-keywords))))
(append
(seq-subseq use-package-keywords 0 idx)
(list :company)
(nthcdr idx use-package-keywords))))
Keybinds
which-key
which-key displays a popup in the minibuffer that shows keybindings following incomplete commands.
(use-package which-key
:diminish
:config
(which-key-mode))
General
General is an excellent keybind manager that adds tons of useful macros.
Also set up a leader key and prefixes, like \
in Vim.
(use-package general
:config
(general-create-definer jf-leader-def
:keymaps 'override
:states '(normal insert emacs)
:prefix "SPC"
:non-normal-prefix "M-SPC")
(defun jf-create-wk-prefix (desc)
"Helper for creating which-key prefix descriptions.
Bind to a key with general to make which-key show DESC
as the prefix's description"
`(:ignore t :wk ,desc))
(defmacro jf-create-definers (definitions)
"A wrapper for general-create-definer.
For every pair in DEFINITIONS, creates a leader
with name jf-NAME-def and keybind SPC KEY or M-SPC KEY in normal mode."
`(progn
,@(mapcan
(lambda (def)
(let ((key (car def))
(name (cdr def)))
`((general-create-definer ,(intern (concat "jf-" name "-def"))
:keymaps 'override
:states '(normal insert emacs)
:prefix ,(concat "SPC " key)
:non-normal-prefix ,(concat "M-SPC " key))
(jf-leader-def ,key ',(jf-create-wk-prefix name)))))
definitions)))
(jf-create-definers

("f" . "files")
("g" . "git")
("h" . "help")
("m" . "major")

Vim Emulation
Evil
Evil is pretty much the entirety of Vim in Emacs.

Add to Load Path
Create and add a folder to the load path for local lisp files. The folder itself and all descendants will be added to the path. These packages will take precedence over other libraries with the same name.
