* EXWM
So, Im finally slowly getting back to EXWM. I tried it a couple of
years ago, but that was with the SpacemacsOS layer on Spacemacs, on a
laptop which got accidentally formatted before I could save my config
and all… So it got me some time to come back. Im still a bit worried
about Emacs being single threaded, so if I get one blocking function
blocking Emacs, my whole desktop will hang, but for now I havent had
this issue.
All my EXWM config is enabled only if I launch Emacs with the argument
~--with-exwm~, otherwise none of the related packages get installed, let
alone activated and made available.
First, I need to install the /X protocol Emacs Lisp Bindings/. It
doesnt seem to be available in any repo, so Ill install it directly
from Git.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package xelb
:if (seq-contains-p command-line-args "--with-exwm")
:straight (xelb :build t
:type git
:host github
:repo "emacs-straight/xelb"
:fork "ch11ng/xelb"))
#+end_src
Next is a function Ive +stolen+ copied from Daviwils [[https://config.daviwil.com/desktop][desktop
configuration]]. This allows to launch software in the background
easily.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun exwm/run-in-background (command &optional once)
(let ((command-parts (split-string command " +")))
(apply #'call-process `(,(car command-parts) nil 0 nil ,@(cdr command-parts)))))
#+end_src
In order to launch Emacs with EXWM with ~startx~, I need a ~xinit~ file.
This one is exported to ~$HOME/.xinitrc.emacs~.
#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.xinitrc.emacs :shebang "#!/bin/sh"
xhost +SI:localuser:$USER
# Set fallback cursor
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
# If Emacs is started in server mode, `emacsclient` is a convenient
# way to edit files in place (used by e.g. `git commit`)
export VISUAL=emacsclient
export EDITOR="$VISUAL"
# in case Java applications display /nothing/
# wmname LG3D
# export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
autorandr -l home
exec emacs --with-exwm
#+end_src
** EXWM itself
Now we come to the plat de resistance. Like with ~xelb~, Im using its
Git source to install it to make sure I get the right version --- the
version available on the GNU ELPA is from the same source, true, but I
dont know at which rate it is updated. And more packages down the
line will depend on this Git repository, so I might as well just clone
it right now.
As you can see, I added in the ~:config~ section to two hooks functions
that rename buffers accurately. While the average X window will simply
get the name of the current X window, I want Firefox and Qutebrowser
to be prefixed with the name of the browser. Actually, all these will
be renamed this way:
#+name: exwm-renamed-buffers-list
- Kitty
- Qutebrowser
#+name: exwm-gen-buffers-rename
#+header: :exports none :tangle no
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var buffers=exwm-renamed-buffers-list :cache yes
(format "%s\n%S"
(mapconcat (lambda (buffer)
(let ((buffer-name (if (stringp buffer)
buffer
(car buffer))))
(format "(\"%s\" %S)"
(downcase buffer-name)
`(exwm-workspace-rename-buffer
(concat ,(concat "EXWM: " buffer-name " - ")
exwm-title)))))
buffers
"\n")
'(_otherwise (exwm-workspace-rename-buffer exwm-title)))
#+end_src

(add-hook 'exwm-update-title-hook
(lambda ()
(pcase exwm-class-name
<<exwm-gen-buffers-rename()>>)))
#+end_src
As you can see below, in the ~:config~ section I added two advices and
one hook in order to correctly integrate evil with EXWM. When Im in
an X window, I want to be in insert-mode in order to type however I
want. However, when I exit one, I want to default back to normal-mode.
#+name: exwm-advices-evil
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(add-hook 'exwm-manage-finish-hook (lambda () (call-interactively #'exwm-input-release-keyboard)))
(advice-add #'exwm-input-grab-keyboard :after (lambda (&optional id) (evil-normal-state)))
(advice-add #'exwm-input-release-keyboard :after (lambda (&optional id) (evil-insert-state)))
#+end_src
Secondly, I add ~i~, ~C-SPC~, and ~M-m~ as exwm prefix keys, so they arent
sent directly to the X windows but caught by Emacs (and EXWM). Ill
use the ~i~ key in normal-mode to enter ~insert-mode~ and have Emacs
release the keyboard so the X window can grab it. Initially, I had
~s-<escape>~ as a keybind for grabbing back the keyboard from an X
window, as if I were in insert mode and wanted to go back to normal
mode, and I had ~s-I~ to toggle keyboard grabbing. But I found myself
more than once trying to use ~s-<escape>~ to toggle this state, ~s-I~
completely forgotten. So I removed ~s-I~ and made ~s-<escape>~ behave like
~s-I~ once did.
#+name: exwm-prefix-keys
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(general-define-key
:keymaps 'exwm-mode-map
:states 'normal
"i" #'exwm-input-release-keyboard)
(exwm-input-set-key (kbd "s-<escape>") #'exwm-input-toggle-keyboard)
(push ?\i exwm-input-prefix-keys)
(push (kbd "C-SPC") exwm-input-prefix-keys)
(push (kbd "M-m") exwm-input-prefix-keys)
#+end_src
As stated a couple of times in my different configuration files, Im
using the bépo layout, which means the default keys in the number row
are laid as follows:
#+name: exwm-bepo-number-row
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(defconst exwm-workspace-keys '("\"" "«" "»" "(" ")" "@" "+" "-" "/" "*"))
#+end_src
With this, we can create keybinds for going or sending X windows to
workspaces 0 to 9.
#+name: exwm-workspace-keybinds
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(setq exwm-input-global-keys
`(,@exwm-input-global-keys
,@(mapcar (lambda (i)
`(,(kbd (format "s-%s" (nth i exwm-workspace-keys))) .
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(exwm-workspace-switch-create ,i))))
(number-sequence 0 9))
,@(mapcar (lambda (i)
`(,(kbd (format "s-%d" i)) .
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(exwm-workspace-move-window ,(let ((index (1- i)))
(if (< index 0)
(- 10 index)
;; FIXME: does not work with s-0
index))))))
(number-sequence 0 9))))
#+end_src
You can then see the list of the keybinds I have set for EXWM, which
are all prefixed with ~SPC x~ in normal mode (and ~C-SPC x~ in insert
mode), except for ~s-RET~ which opens an eshell terminal.
#+name: exwm-keybinds
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no

(interactive)

A couple of commands are also automatically executed through my
~autostart~ script written [[file:/scripts.md#autostart][here]].

Finally, lets only initialize and start EXWM once functions from
exwm-randr ran, because otherwise having multiple monitors dont work.
