#+title: Phundrak’s Spacemacs Configuration #+INCLUDE: ~/org/config-website/headers.org #+OPTIONS: auto-id:t #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: #+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: * Init :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-3f3c8a0b-56cd-4be6-b019-3ba6f1e24f96 :header-args:emacs-lisp: :comments link :tangle ~/.emacs.d/private/spacemacs-init.el :exports code :END: The ~dotspacemacs/init~ function is the one called at the very begining of the Spacemacs startup, before any kind of configuration, including the layer configuration. Only the values of the Spacemacs settings should be modified here. By default, every values are set in a ~setq-default~ sexp, and they represent all the supported Spacemacs settings. Hence, the function looks like this: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no (defun dotspacemacs/init () (setq-default ;; default Spacemacs configuration here )) #+END_SRC ** Emacs with pdumper :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-bb7c391e-3d0c-4c3c-99d4-09a1cb20be43 :END: It is possible to compile Emacs 27 from source with support for the portable dumper, as shown in Spacemacs’ =EXPERIMENTAL.org= file. I do not use this feature yet, as I am still on Emacs 26 provided from Arch Linux’s repositories, so I’ll disable the Spacemacs support for this feature. The default value of this variable is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-enable-emacs-pdumper nil) #+END_SRC In case the support for pdumper was enabled, Spacemacs needs to know the name of the Emacs executable which supports such a feature. The executable must be in the user’s =PATH=. By default, the value of the variable is ="emacs"=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-emacs-pdumper-executable-file "emacs") #+END_SRC And finally, we can name the Spacemacs dump file. This is the file that will be created by the portable dumper in the cache directory under the =dumps= sub-directory. To load it when starting Emacs, the parameter =--dump-file= should be added when invoking Emacs 27.1 executable from the command line, for instance: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle no :exports code ./emacs --dump-file=~/.emacs.d/.cache/dumps/spacemacs.pdmp #+END_SRC The default value of this variable is ="spacemacs.pdmp"=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-emacs-dumper-dump-file "spacemacs.pdmp") #+END_SRC ** Package managment and updates :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-8573bacc-4372-49e3-a0ff-4520fe999c97 :END: Spacemacs’ core configuration can be updated via git commands using Github services. If Spacemacs is not set to the =develop= branch, it can check by itself if any update is available. However, I am using said branch, therefore I should set this variable to =nil=. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-check-for-update nil) #+END_SRC When it comes to package management, Spacemacs is able to store them in different directories depending on the version of Emacs used or based on other variables. I personally prefer to use the value =emacs-version= since it makes it easier to upgrade or downgrade Emacs without any conflict with the already installed packages. The default value is =emacs-version=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-elpa-subdirectory 'emacs-version) #+END_SRC Spacemacs has a capacity of performing rollbacks after updates. We can set the maximum number of rollback slots to keep in the cache. The default value is =5=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-max-rollback-slots 5) #+END_SRC *** Elpa repository :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-ac64233a-5c7a-41f4-98b5-ce838b33ba44 :END: It is possible to ask Emacs to use an HTTPS connection when contacting the Elpa whenever possible. This value should be set to =nil= when the user has no way to contact the Elpa though HTTPS, otherwise it is strongly recommended to let it set to =t=. This variable however has no effect if Emacs is launched with the parameter =--insecure= which forces the value of this variable to =nil=. The default value is =t=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-elpa-https t) #+END_SRC We can set a maximum amount of seconds which will represent the maximum allowed time to contact the Elpa repository. By default, this setting is set on =5=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-elpa-timeout 5) #+END_SRC *** Spacelpa repository :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-1f432881-39b2-4d60-862f-a1a95ebe4a58 :END: The Spacelpa repository is a Spacemacs-specific package repository. It is possible to use it as the primary source to install a locked version of a package. If the below value is set to =nil=, then Spacemacs will install the latest version of packages from MELPA. I personally don’t use it, so I let it set to =nil=. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-use-spacelpa nil) #+END_SRC If the below value is not =nil=, then the signature for the downloaded Spacelpa packages must be verified. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-verify-spacelpa-archives t) #+END_SRC ** Editing style :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-8a6bfe01-3e45-4189-9bde-70efbe9739ee :END: By default, Spacemacs encourages the use of evil-mode, which brings vim keybinding in Emacs. Still, it has three different styles available: - =vim=, which goes full evil-mode usage and most adapted to Emacs newcomers, especially if they were used to vim before, with the use of a normal mode and an insert mode. - =emacs= which keeps an Emacs-like feel to the keybindings, without any difference between an insert or normal mode. - =hybrid= is a modification of the =vim= mode which brings the =emacs= style in insert mode, but otherwise behaves like the =vim= style in normal mode. This is the style I personally use. The value can also be a list with the =:variables= keyword (similar to layers). Check the editing styles section of the documentation for details on available variables. The default value is =vim=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-editing-style '(hybrid :variables hybrid-mode-enable-evilified-state t hybrid-mode-default-state 'normal)) #+END_SRC ** Spacemacs home configuration :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-6a78794e-9c0b-4390-99d5-55c5b13c8c5a :END: The value below specifies the startup banner of Spacemacs. The default value is =official=, it displays the official Spacemacs logo. An integer value is the index of text banner, =random= chooses a random text banner in the =core/banners= directory. A string value must be a path to an image format supported by your Emacs build. If the value is nil, then no banner is displayed. The default value is =official=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-startup-banner 'official) #+END_SRC On the Spacemacs homepage, a list of elements can also be shown, be it recent files, projects, agenda items,… Each of the elements making up the list value of the below variable are pairs in the form =(list-type . list-size)=. If the value is =nil=, then it is disabled. The possible values for =list-type= are: - =recents= :: displays recently opened files - =bookmarks= :: displays saved bookmarks - =projects= :: displays projectile projects recently opened - =agenda= :: displays upcoming events from Org-mode agendas - =todos= :: displays recent TODOs detected in projectile projects The order in which they are set in the below list affects their order on the Spacemacs startup page. List sikes may be =nil=, in which case =spacemacs-buffer-startup-lists-length= takes effect. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-startup-lists '((recents . 15) (projects . 15))) #+END_SRC The below variable allows the startup page to respond to resize events. Its default value is =t=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-startup-buffer-responsive t) #+END_SRC ** Default major modes :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-8318ee22-ffaf-419a-a76b-41f327c23970 :END: The below variable sets a default major mode for a new empty buffer. Possible values are mode names such as =text-mode=, or =nil= to use Fundamental mode. The default value is =text-mode=, but I prefer to use =org-mode= by default. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-new-empty-buffer-major-mode 'org-mode) #+END_SRC Similarly, the below variable sets the default mode for the scratch buffer. Its default value is =text-mode=, but I also set it to use =org-mode= by default. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-scratch-mode 'org-mode) #+END_SRC By the way, it is possible to set a default message for the scratch buffer, such as “Welcome to Spacemacs!”. I prefer to keep it clean. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-initial-scratch-message nil) #+END_SRC ** Visual configuration :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-d7fe8e66-bfcd-43c4-81e5-fba433300b7b :END: *** Themes :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-013f84c3-92c6-453f-9229-98f0ad6ba884 :END: Spacemacs makes it quite easy to use themes and organize them. The below value is a list of themes, the first of the list is loaded when Spacemacs starts. The user can press =SPC T n= to cycle to the next theme in the list. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-themes '(xresources doom-vibrant doom-nord spacemacs-dark doom-one doom-opera doom-dracula doom-molokai doom-peacock doom-sourcerer doom-spacegrey kaolin-dark kaolin-aurora kaolin-bubblegum kaolin-galaxy kaolin-mono-dark kaolin-temple kaolin-valley-dark)) #+END_SRC Emacs also makes use of themes for the Spaceline at the bottom of buffers. Supported themes are: - =spacemacs= - =all-the-icons= - =custom= - =doom= (the one I use) - =vim-powerline= - =vanilla= The first three are Spaceline themes. =doom= is the Doom-Emacs mode-line, and =vanilla= is the default Emacs mode-line. =custom= is a user defined theme, refer to Spacemacs’ =DOCUMENTATION.org= file for more info on how to create your own Spaceline theme. Value can be a symbol or list with additional properties. The default value is ='(spacemacs :separator wave :separator-scale 1.5))=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme '(doom :separator wave :separator-scale 1.0)) #+END_SRC It is also possible to color the cursor depending on which mode Spacemacs is in, in order to mach the state color in GUI Emacs. The default value is =t=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-colorize-cursor-according-to-state t) #+END_SRC The below variable sets either the default font or a prioritized list of fonts to be used by Emacs. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-default-font '("FiraCode Nerd Font Mono" :size 8.0 :weight normal :width normal)) #+END_SRC *** Other on-screen elements :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-fabead22-a4d0-4826-9ed1-37297810c30b :END: =which-key= is a helper which displays available keyboard shortcuts. This variable sets in seconds the time Spacemacs should wait between a key press and the moment =which-key= should be shown. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-which-key-delay 0.4) #+END_SRC This variable sets =which-key='s frame position. Possible values are: - =right= - =bottom= - =right-then-bottom= =right-then-bottom= tries to display the frame to the right, but if there is insufficient space it displays it at the bottom. The default value is =bottom=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-which-key-position 'bottom) #+END_SRC This controls where =switch-to-buffer= displays the buffer. If the value is =nil=, =switch-to-buffer= displays the buffer in the current window even if another same-purpose window is available. If non-nil, ~switch-to-buffer~ displays the buffer in a same-purpose window even if the buffer can be displayed in the current window. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-switch-to-buffer-prefers-purpose nil) #+END_SRC If this variable is non-nil, a progress bar is displayed when Spacemacs is loading. This may increase the boot time on some systems and emacs builds, set it to =nil= to boost the loading time. The default value is =t=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-loading-progress-bar t) #+END_SRC If the value is non-nil, Emacs will show the title of the transient states. The default value is ~t~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-show-transient-state-title t) #+END_SRC If non-nil, this will show the color guide hint for transient state keys. The default value is ~t~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-show-transient-state-color-guide t) #+END_SRC If non-nil, unicode symbols are displayed in the mode line. If you use Emacs as a daemon and want unicode characters only in GUI set the value to quoted ~display-graphic-p~. The default value is ~t~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-mode-line-unicode-symbols 'display-graphic-p) #+END_SRC If non-nil, smooth scrolling (native-scrolling) is enabled. Smooth scrolling overrides the default behavior of Emacs which recenters point when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. The default value is ~t~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-smooth-scrolling t) #+END_SRC The following value controls the line number activation. If set to ~t~, ~relative~ or ~visual~ then line numbers are enabled in all ~prog-mode~ and ~text-mode~ derivatives. If set to ~relative~, line numbers are relative. If set to ~visual~, line numbers are also relative, but only visual lines are counted. For example, folded lines will not be counted and wrapped lines are counted as multiple lines. This variable can also be set to a property list for finer control: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no '(:relative nil :visual nil :disabled-for-modes dired-mode doc-view-mode markdown-mode org-mode pdf-view-mode text-mode :size-limit-kb 1000) #+END_SRC When used in a plist, ~visual~ takes precendence over ~relative~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-line-numbers '(:relative nil :enabled-for-modes prog-mode)) #+END_SRC Select a scope to highlight delimiter. Possible values are: - ~any~ - ~current~ - ~all~ - ~nil~ The default value is ~all~ (highlights any scope and emphasis the current one). #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-highlight-delimiters 'all) #+END_SRC After a certain amount of time in seconds, Spacemacs can zone-out. The default value is ~nil~. I set it so Spacemacs zones out after 15 minutes. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-zone-out-when-idle 900) #+END_SRC Run ~spacemacs/prettify-org-buffer~ when visiting the ~README.org~ files of Spacemacs. The default value is ~nil~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-pretty-docs nil) #+END_SRC *** Appearance of Emacs frames :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-deae54d7-5790-4c11-8640-573cd3824dbd :END: Starting from Emacs 24.4, it is possible to make the Emacs frame fullscreen when Emacs starts up if the variable is set to a non-nil value. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-fullscreen-at-startup nil) #+END_SRC This variable is to be used if the user does not want to use native fullscreen with ~spacemacs/toggle-fullscreen~. This disables for instance the fullscreen animation under OSX. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-fullscreen-use-non-native nil) #+END_SRC If you do not start Emacs in fullscreen at startup, you might want it to be maximized by default. If the value for the variable below is set to be non-nil, the frame will be maximized. This can only work if ~dotspacemacs-fullscreen-at-startup~ is set to ~nil~, and it is only available from Emacs 24.4 onwards. The default value is ~nil~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-maximized-at-startup nil) #+END_SRC If non-nil, the frame is undecorated when Emacs starts up. Combine this with the variable ~dotspacemacs-maximized-at-startup~ in OSX to obtain borderless fullscreen. The default value is ~nil~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-undecorated-at-startup nil) #+END_SRC You can also set a transparency level for Emacs when you toggle the transparency of the frame with ~toggle-transparency~. The value of the transparency, going from 0 to 100 in increasing opacity, describes the transparency level of a frame when it’s active or selected. The default value is ~90~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-active-transparency 95) #+END_SRC Similarly, you can set a value from 0 to 100 in increasing opacity which describes the transparency level of a frame when it’s inactive or deselected. The default value is ~90~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-inactive-transparency 80) #+END_SRC The variable below sets the format of frame title. You can use: - ~%a~ :: the ~abbreviated-file-name~ or ~buffer-name~ - ~%t~ :: ~projectile-project-name~ - ~%I~ :: ~invocation-name~ - ~%S~ :: ~system-name~ - ~%U~ :: contents of ~$USER~ - ~%b~ :: buffer name - ~%f~ :: visited file name - ~%F~ :: frame name - ~%s~ :: process status - ~%p~ :: percent of buffer above top of window, or Top, Bot, or All - ~%P~ :: percent of buffer above bottom of window, perhaps plus Top, or Bot, or All - ~%m~ :: mode name - ~%n~ :: Narrow if appropriate - ~%z~ :: mnemonics of buffer, terminal, and keyboard coding systems - ~%Z~ :: like ~%z~, but including the end-of-line format The default value is ~"%I@%S"~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-frame-title-format "%b (%m)") #+END_SRC Format specification for setting the icon title format. The default value is ~nil~, same as ~frame-title-format~. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-icon-title-format nil) #+END_SRC ** Spacemacs leader keys and shortcuts :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-0bf00e10-d577-4133-91c6-39bdc96d847d :END: The below setting sets the Spacemacs leader key. By default, this is the =SPC= key. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-leader-key "SPC") #+END_SRC Once the leader key has been pressed, it is possible to set another key in order to call Emacs’ command =M-x=. By default, it is again the =SPC= key. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-emacs-command-key "SPC") #+END_SRC It is also possible to invoke Vim Ex commands with the press of a key, and by default it is the =:= key. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-ex-command-key ":") #+END_SRC The below variable sets the leader key accessible in =emacs-state= and =insert-state=: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-emacs-leader-key "M-m") #+END_SRC The major mode leader key is a shortcut key which is the equivalent of pressing = m=.

Setting it to a non-nil value allows for separate commands under =C-i= and =TAB=, and =C-m= and =RET=. In the terminal, these pairs are generally indistinguishable, so this only works in the GUI. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-distinguish-gui-tab nil) #+END_SRC ** Layouts :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: h-7b84a553-6c54-431e-ad23-dfa26c8a334f :END: The variable belows sets the name of the default layout. Its default value is ="Default"=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-default-layout-name "Default") #+END_SRC If non-nil, the default layout name is displayed in the mode-line. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-display-default-layout nil) #+END_SRC If non-nil, then the last auto saved layouts are resumed automatically upon start. The default value is =nil=. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-auto-resume-layouts nil) #+END_SRC If non-nil, the layout name will be auto-generated when creating new layouts. It only has an effect when using the “jump to layout by number” command.
