Welp, here it goes. This is a literal config for my emacs setup
I will prbably copy-paste what I have in my literal config, and provide small, fun explanations along the way
For now, prepare this to be not the best documented literal config you've seen.
Also, if you just stumbled accross this at random, there is an easy tangle button at [[file:readme.org][readme.org]]
* Before we start lisping
This emacs config's dependencies are mostly managed by [[https://nixos.org][nix]], therefore we have to make a nix file before we
do any emacs configuring by ourselves
We also add webkitgtk support for (eventual) web browsing support
#+begin_src nix :tangle emacs.nix
let
sources = import ./nix/sources.nix;
packageOverlay = final: old: {
emacs = old.emacs.override {
withXwidgets = true;
};
emacsWithPackages = final.emacs.pkgs.withPackages;
};
in
import sources.emacs {
pkgs = import { overlays = [ packageOverlay ]; };
configDir = ./emacsconfig;
}
#+end_src
* Emacs configuring
Now the real configuring begins!
for some backwards compat purposes I have decided to but different config subjects into different files
This won't matter too much as the nix framework is expecting multiple files anyway!
** The bases
This is only better-defaults. It comes with ido-mode and some other defaults that I forgot to set in my
init file that I stole from [[https://github.com/editor-bootstrap/emacs-bootstrap][emacs-bootstrap]] months ago
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :mkdirp yes :tangle emacsconfig/base.el
(use-package better-defaults)
#+end_src
** Generally nice emacs tools
*** Magit
Simple. Nice. default config. (almost)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package magit
:defer t
:config
(magit-add-section-hook 'magit-status-sections-hook
'magit-insert-modules
'magit-insert-stashes
'append)
:bind
("C-x g" . magit-status))
(use-package forge
:after magit)
#+end_src
*** IRC
I use IRC in emacs, with ERC. There is even a small macro so that I can easily join new servers
with my preferred nickname
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package erc
:custom
(erc-server-reconnect-attempts 10)
(erc-nick "crazazy")
:config
(defmacro irc-quickjoin (servername url &optional nick)
"create a function to quickly join a server. Servers can be joined with M-x SERVERNAME-irc"
`(defun ,(intern (concat (symbol-name servername) "-irc")) (password)
(interactive (list (password-read "Password: ")))
(erc-tls :server ,url
:nick ,(if nick
nick
"crazazy")
:port 6697
:password password)))
(irc-quickjoin tilde "eu.tilde.chat")
(irc-quickjoin libera "irc.libera.chat"))
#+end_src
*** Dashboard
Gives me access to the most recent files I edited, and some other stuff that I don't really care about
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package dashboard
:config (dashboard-setup-startup-hook))
#+end_src
*** Elfeed
I don't use elfeed in emacs that much anymore, as I have switched to [[https://www.seamonkey-project.org/][seamonkey]] for my RSS needs.
Here is my old config anyways. If you want to browse through some default news feel free to remove the last
=:custom= option
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package elfeed
:bind
("C-x w" . elfeed)
(:map elfeed-search-mode-map
("C-c a" . elfeed-add-feed)
("C-c u" . elfeed-update)
("C-c f" . elfeed-update-feed)

#+end_src
*** Org mode
While the brunt of this file is relatively vanilla, There are still some things that I want to customize about the org-mode experience
For now, I think it's best if I don't start depending on org-contrib, as it contains a lot of features and I would waste quite some time
figuring out what all those features are.
**** Syntax highlighting for HTML exports
Normally, when I export my document to an html file for the website, syntax highlighting isn't automatically turned on. htmlize changes this
by putting some colorful spans in all my source code. No need to configure anything either
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/org.el
(use-package htmlize)
#+end_src
**** Org roam
My parents are really urging me to take notes of stuff now. And I'm inclined to agree. I'll try and figure out what
I need from my note taking program down the line, but for now here is a basic config
Mostly stolen from [[https://systemcrafters.net/build-a-second-brain-in-emacs/][System crafters]]
I will have to figure out what most of this does /exactly/ but from the description this all seems like
stuff that I'd want for my note taking setup
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/org.el

#+end_src
*** Evil mode
I am originally a vim user, and the standard vim bindings have not left my hands yet,
I am not a big configurer, so this is mostly just the standard configuration that [[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection#installation][evil-mode]] advices you to do
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/evil.el
(use-package evil
:init
(setq evil-want-integration t) ;; This is optional since it's already set to t by default.
(setq evil-want-keybinding nil)
:config
(evil-define-key 'normal global-map "," 'evil-execute-in-god-state)
(evil-mode 1))
(use-package evil-collection
:after evil
:config
(evil-collection-init))
#+end_src
**** God-mode
To further prove that I have no intentions at all to be busy with making evil bindings for eveything I find
I have also installed god-mode to help me do effortless keybinding for those programs that don't have evil
support
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/evil.el
(use-package evil-god-state
:bind
("M-," . evil-god-state-bail))
(use-package god-mode)
#+end_src
**** Tree-sitter
There is a pre-configured package that allows for easy tree-sitter support for a few languages. Nixos + tree-sitter
is surprisingly painless, so I figured I'd just add it
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/evil.el
(use-package evil-tree-edit
:hook
(java-mode . evil-tree-edit-mode)
(python-mode . evil-tree-edit-mode))
#+end_src
*** Which-key
Has god-mode support
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package which-key
:after god-mode
:config
(which-key-enable-god-mode-support)
(which-key-mode))
#+end_src
** Programming-related emacs tools
I do computer science, so from now and then I tend to program a bit. Here are all the tools I use to accomplish
that stuff
*** Company
Generally nice for auto-completion anywhere. I think here is also the place to note that I am not a huge fan
of language-servers, as I've had bad experiences with them when I was still using vim
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package company
:bind
("C-SPC" . company-complete))
#+end_src
*** Matching of parentheses and other stuff
"ERROR: Unmatched parenteses/braces/whatever" is really a thing I would prefer to never see again
It has nix and lisp support, but other langages are fairly standards so not much configuration needed there
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package smartparens
:hook
(emacs-lisp-mode . smartparens-mode)
(nix-mode . smartparens-mode)
(lisp-mode . smartparens-mode)
:config
(sp-with-modes '(lisp-mode emacs-lisp-mode)
(sp-local-pair "'" nil :actions nil)
(sp-local-pair "`" nil :actions nil))
(sp-with-modes '(nix-mode)
(sp-local-pair "'" nil :actions nil)
(sp-local-pair "''" "''")))
#+end_src
*** Languages
Other than that, there are some language-specific setups that I want to do,which are a bit more complicated
than just "editing a file"
**** Nix
Nix is a fairly essential language here. Not just because I run NixOS, but also because it provides
external packages (interpreters, compilers, tooling etc.) to the programs that need it
***** Nix mode
This config is just part of editing nix config. It is supposed to come with company support, but
the auto-completion backend turns out to not be that great. We'll see what I do with it
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/nix.el
(use-package nix-mode
:mode "\\.nix\\'"
:hook
(nix-mode . company-mode)
:config
;; the company-nix backend is not available in melpa, but has no new dependencies
(unless (package-installed-p 'company-nix)
(with-temp-buffer
(url-insert-file-contents "https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode/raw/master/nix-company.el")
(eval-buffer)))
(add-hook 'nix-mode-hook (lambda ()
(set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
'((company-nix)))))
(add-hook 'nix-mode-hook 'company-mode))
#+end_src
***** Nix package management
I use nix-sandbox for managing nix package for other languages.
One of the functions doesn't work that well for me so I replaced it with something that does
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/nix.el
(use-package nix-sandbox
:config
(defun nix-executable-find (sandbox executable)
"finds an EXECUTABLE in SANDBOX"
(set (make-local-variable 'exec-path) (nix-exec-path sandbox))
(executable-find executable)))
#+end_src
Beyond that, there is a helper function that makes it easy to quickly define environments with the required
packages for a programming language
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/nix.el
(defun nix-env-from-packages (name &rest packages)
"create a nix environment from nix packages. returns the location of the environment"
(interactive (append
(list (read-string "Environment name: " nil nil "nameless"))
(split-string (read-string "Packages: "))))
(with-temp-buffer
(insert (format "
{ pkgs ? import %s {}}:
pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = with pkgs;[
%s
];
}
" (or nix-nixpkgs-path "") (apply 'concat (intersperse "\n" packages))))
(write-file (concat temporary-file-directory name "-env/shell.nix"))
(nix-find-sandbox (concat temporary-file-directory name "-env"))))
#+end_src
**** Python
Python is a bit weird. It had no intentions at all to do things the way I wanted it to do things with
use-package, so I had to find a weird work-arounds with add-hook and all that stuff
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/python.el :padline no :noweb no-export
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda ()
<>))
#+end_src
First we set an interpreter with nix, it comes with all the python autocompletion tools we need
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref el-python-config :tangle no
(setq python-shell-interpreter
(nix-executable-find
(nix-env-from-packages "python" "(python3.withPackages (p: with p; [pygame virtualenvwrapper pip sqlite jedi flake8 yapf autopep8 black]))")
"python"))
#+end_src
Then we introduce elpy with so that it can use all the tools immidiately without downloading them
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref el-python-config :tangle no
(use-package elpy
:config
(elpy-enable)
(setq elpy-rpc-python-command python-shell-interpreter))
#+end_src
**** Web stuff
I also have made some basic webpages. I haven't gotten too deep into JS with emacs yet, so this section
might expand later, but so far this is what I have
***** Web mode
General xml stuff editing. Fairly standard
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/web.el
(use-package web-mode
:mode (("\\.x?html?\\'" . web-mode)
("\\.x[sm]l\\'" . web-mode)
("\\.css\\'" . web-mode)
("\\.jsx?\\'" . web-mode)
("\\.tsx?\\'" . web-mode)
("\\.json\\'" . web-mode))
:custom
(web-mode-markup-indent-offset 2) ; HTML
(web-mode-css-indent-offset 2) ; CSS
(web-mode-code-indent-offset 2) ; JS/JSX/TS/TSX
(web-mode-content-types-alist '(("jsx" . "\\.js[x]?\\'"))))
(use-package elnode)
#+end_src
***** Emmet mode
for quickly inserting a whole XML tree
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/web.el
(use-package emmet-mode
:hook
(sgml-mode . emmet-mode)
(web-mode . emmet-mode)
(css-mode . emmet-mode)
:bind
(:map emmet-mode-keymap
("TAB" . emmet-dwim))
:config
(defun emmet-dwim (prefix)
(interactive "p")
(or
(emmet-go-to-edit-point prefix)
(emmet-expand-line prefix)
(evil-jump-forward prefix))))
#+end_src
** Other, less useful stuff
*** Themes
I like to have a nice theme in my setup
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/misc.el
(use-package flatland-theme
:config
(load-theme 'flatland))
#+end_src
Also I want to theme my config exports
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/extras.el
(use-package htmlize)
#+end_src
*** Discord
My discord buddies /have/ to know I'm using emacs whenever I have my computer running
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/misc.el
(use-package elcord
:config
(elcord-mode))
#+end_src
*** Emenu
Since I'm using emacs as a daemon, it can also be benefical to make an application launcer
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle emacsconfig/misc.el
