Treesitter
Treesit is a native Emacs tree-sitter implementation which provides a very fast and flexible way of performing code-highlighting in Emacs. It is built-in in Emacs 29 and newer, and I just need to tweak a couple of variables to install grammars for different languages.

Appwrite
Appwrite is an open-source and self-hostable alternative to Firebase. I am currently working on a server SDK for Appwrite in Emacs, so here it is.
(use-package appwrite
:defer t
:straight (appwrite :build t
:type git
:host github
:repo "Phundrak/appwrite.el")
:config
(setopt appwrite-endpoint "https://appwrite.phundrak.com"
appwrite-devel t))
Databases
A really cool tool in Emacs for manipulating databases is emacsql
.
It’s able to manipulate SQLite databases by default, but it’s also
possible to manipulate MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases by installing
additional packages. For now, I just need SQLite and PostgreSQL
interfaces, so let’s install the relevant packages.
(use-package emacsql-psql
:defer t

;; And don’t recheck on idle as often
(setq flycheck-idle-change-delay 2.0)
;; For the above functionality, check syntax in a buffer that you
;; switched to on briefly. This allows “refreshing” the syntax check
;; state for several buffers quickly after e.g. changing a config
;; file.
(setq flycheck-buffer-switch-check-intermediate-buffers t)
;; Display errors a little quicker (default is 0.9s)
(setq flycheck-display-errors-delay 0.2))
(use-package flycheck-popup-tip

LSP-Mode
lsp-mode
is a mode for Emacs which implements the Language Server
Protocol and offers Emacs an IDE-like experience. In short, it’s
awesome!
(use-package lsp-mode

:straight (:build t)

I also want all the visual enhancements LSP can provide.
(use-package lsp-ui

:straight (:build t)
:commands lsp-ui-mode
:config
(require 'lsp-ui-flycheck)

And let’s enable some integration with ivy
.
(use-package lsp-ivy
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:after lsp
:commands lsp-ivy-workspace-symbol)
(use-package lsp-treemacs
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
You can find the keybinds of Treemacs here.
(use-package exec-path-from-shell

(use-package consult-lsp
:defer t
:after lsp
:straight (:build t)
:general
(phundrak/evil
:keymaps 'lsp-mode-map
[remap xref-find-apropos] #'consult-lsp-symbols))
dap-mode
dap-mode
is an advanced debugging mode that works through LSP. Note
that currently, dap-firefox
and dap-chrome
don’t work correctly due to
this issue. A workaround can be found in this comment though.
(use-package dap-mode
:after lsp
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:config
(dap-ui-mode)
(dap-ui-controls-mode 1)
(add-hook 'dap-stopped-hook

Langtool
LanguageTool is a great tool for catching typos and grammatical errors in quite a few languages.
(use-package langtool
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:commands (langtool-check
langtool-check-done
langtool-show-message-at-point
langtool-correct-buffer)
:custom
(langtool-default-language "en-US")
(langtool-mother-tongue "fr")
:config
(setq langtool-java-classpath (string-join '("/usr/share/languagetool"
"/usr/share/java/languagetool/*")
":")))
Finally, writegood-mode
detects some simple general rules when writing
in English and can also calculate the Flesh-Kincaid levels of a
document.
(use-package writegood-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:hook org-mode latex-mode
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:keymaps 'writegood-mode-map
"g" #'writegood-grade-level
"r" #'writegood-reading-ease))
DSLs
DSLs, or Domain Specific Languages, are languages dedicated to some very tasks, such as configuration languages or non-general programming such as SQL.
Makefiles
(defun my/local-tab-indent ()
(setq-local indent-tabs-mode 1))
(add-hook 'makefile-mode-hook #'my/local-tab-indent)
Caddy
Caddy (or Caddyserver) is a web server akin to Nginx or Apache which I find much easier to configure that the latter two, plus it has built-in support for automatically generating SSL certificates with Letsencrypt! Automatic HTTPS, what more do you want?
All that is nice and all, but Emacs doesn’t support the syntax of
Caddy files natively, so let’s install caddyfile-mode
:
(use-package caddyfile-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:mode (("Caddyfile\\'" . caddyfile-mode)
("caddy\\.conf\\'" . caddyfile-mode)))
CMake
CMake is one of the standard tools for indicating how a project should be built. It is not as standard as some other tools such as automake, autoconfig, and the likes, but still pretty standard. CMake however doesn’t have a major mode available by default, so let’s provide one.
(use-package cmake-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
Let’s enable first some autocompletion for it.
(use-package company-cmake
:straight (company-cmake :build t
:type git
:host github
:repo "purcell/company-cmake")
:after cmake-mode
:defer t)
And let’s also enable a more advanced CMake fontlock.
(use-package cmake-font-lock
:defer t
:after cmake-mode
:straight (:build t))
And finally, let’s enable some Eldoc integration for CMake.
(use-package eldoc-cmake
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:after cmake-mode)
CSV
(use-package csv-mode
:straight (:build t)

Dotenv
It is not rare to encounter a dotenv file, that is, a file with either
the .env
extension or simply called .env
. They contain environment
variables for projects which might rely on values you do not want to
upload to a public git repository and such. While their syntax is
similar to shell files, they’re not exactly shell files either since
there’s rarely any script inside running. So, let’s install a simple
package which will dumb down a lot sh-mode
for these dotenv files.
(use-package dotenv-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
Gnuplot
This package is a front-end and major mode for the programming language Gnuplot. Let’s make some beautiful graphs, shall we?
(use-package gnuplot
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
Graphviz
Graphviz, often known with dot
, allows to programmatically create
visual graphs and networks.
(use-package graphviz-dot-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:after org

(defalias 'org-babel-execute:graphviz-dot #'org-babel-execute:dot)
(add-to-list 'org-babel-load-languages '(dot . t))
(require 'ob-dot)
(setq org-src-lang-modes

(delete '("dot" . fundamental) org-src-lang-modes))))
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key

"c" #'compile)
:config
(setq graphviz-dot-indent-width 4))
Markdown
Yes, I love org-mode and I largely prefer to use it instead of Markdown due to its far superior power and abilities. But still, sometimes I need to use Markdown because not everyone uses org-mode, unfortunately.
(use-package markdown-mode

:straight t

Since most of my Markdown files are related to GitHub, I’d like to be able to render Markdown through its API.
(use-package gh-md
:defer t
:after markdown-mode
:straight (:build t)
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:packages 'gh-md
:keymaps 'markdown-mode-map
"cr" #'gh-md-render-buffer))
Sometimes, I have to work with GitHub’s markdown flavour, but I’m not
really a huge fan of writing it by hand. So instead, I’ll write it in
org-mode and then export it with ox-gfm
.
(use-package ox-gfm
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:after (org ox))
Tables of content are always nice to have for large files, just like
with the toc-org
package for org-mode.
(use-package markdown-toc
:defer t
:after markdown-mode
:straight (:build t)
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:packages 'markdown-toc
:keymaps 'markdown-mode-map
"iT" #'markdown-toc-generate-toc))
Lastly, edit-indirect
is a package that allows to edit code blocks as
in org-mode but with other major modes, such as code blocks in
Markdown.
(use-package edit-indirect
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
Nix
(use-package nix-mode
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
Nginx
Nginx is another webserver, older and more mature than Caddy. A couple of packages are required in order to be able to properly work with Nginx configuration files. First, we need the correct mode for editing Nginx configuration files.
(use-package nginx-mode
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
We then also have an autocompletion package that adds to company
the
Nginx syntax.
(use-package company-nginx
:straight (company-nginx :build t
:type git
:host github
:repo "emacsmirror/company-nginx")
:defer t
:config
(add-hook 'nginx-mode-hook (lambda ()

PKGBUILD
As I am an ArchLinux user, I sometimes have to interact with PKGBUILD files, both from the AUR when I want to install something from there or some I write myself.
(use-package pkgbuild-mode

Ron files
Rusty Object Notation, or RON for short, is to Rust what Json is to Javascript. Sometimes, I have to work with such files, which is why I installed this major mode.
(use-package ron-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
Shells
Aside from Eshell, my main shell on my machine is fish (see my fish config), therefore I need a mode for it.
(use-package fish-mode
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
When editing some scripts though, I need to use the built-in shell-mode
.
(use-package shell
:defer t
:straight (:type built-in)
:hook (shell-mode . tree-sitter-hl-mode))
SSH Config files
(use-package ssh-config-mode

General Programming Languages
C/C++
I know, I know, C and C++ no longer are closely related languages, each one of them went their own way and learning C won’t make you a good C++ programmer, neither will the other way around. But, They are still somewhat related, and Emacs thinks so too.
(use-package cc-mode
:straight (:type built-in)
:defer t
:init
(put 'c-c++-backend 'safe-local-variable 'symbolp)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)
:config
(require 'compile)
:general
(phundrak/undefine
:keymaps '(c-mode-map c++-mode-map)
";" nil)
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:keymaps '(c-mode-map c++-mode-map)
"l" '(:keymap lsp-command-map :which-key "lsp" :package lsp-mode))
(phundrak/evil
:keymaps '(c-mode-map c++-mode-map)
"ga" #'projectile-find-other-file
"gA" #'projectile-find-other-file-other-window))
Something that is also important when working with these languages is
respecting the .clang-format
file that may be provided by a project.
(use-package clang-format+

However, Emacs’ notion of C++ is somewhat outdated, so we need to update its fontlock.
(use-package modern-cpp-font-lock
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:hook (c++-mode . modern-c++-font-lock-mode))
CommonLisp
In Lisp buffers, let’s enable parinfer-rust-mode
.
(use-package lisp-mode
:straight (:type built-in)
:defer t
:after parinfer-rust-mode
:hook (lisp-mode . parinfer-rust-mode)
:config
(put 'defcommand 'lisp-indent-function 'defun)
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl --noinform"))
My current window manager is StumpWM, inspired by Emacs and written in
CommonLisp. stumpwm-mode
offers some integration between Emacs and
StumpWM that makes the user able to evaluate CommonLisp code and see
its effects in StumpWM immediately. Since my only use for CommonLisp
is for my StumpWM configuration, it should be automatically enabled
when entering lisp-mode
.
(use-package stumpwm-mode
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:hook lisp-mode
:config
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:keymaps 'stumpwm-mode-map
:packages 'stumpwm-mode

"ee" #'stumpwm-eval-last-sexp
"ed" #'stumpwm-eval-defun

Sly enables some deep interactivity between Emacs and a CommonLisp application running the Slynk backend. For an example, see my Sly configuration for StumpWM.
(use-package sly
:defer t

Dart
(use-package dart-mode

EmacsLisp
This package displays the function’s arglist or variable’s docstring in the echo area at the bottom of the frame. Quite useful indeed.
(use-package eldoc
:defer t
:after company

(use-package elisp-mode
:straight (:type built-in)

:config
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (smartparens-mode -1))))
Still on the topic of documentation, I sometimes find it lacks
examples on how to use Elisp functions. elisp-demos
got you covered!
(use-package elisp-demos

(use-package epdh
:straight (epdh :type git

Let’s also declare some Elisp-dedicated keybindings, prefixed by a comma.
(phundrak/major-leader-key

If I need to run CI on a package, Cask manages its dependencies.
(use-package cask-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
However, I recently began using Eask more and more, I find it nicer to work with, and it has a lot more features than Cask.
;; (use-package eask-api

;;(use-package eask-mode

Java
Emacs has built-in support for Java, but it still lacks some features. The main one is being able to replace an IDE, so let’s install its LSP package.
(use-package lsp-java
:requires lsp
:straight (:build t)
:after lsp
:hook (java-mode . lsp-deferred))
Python
First, we need to set up the main Python mode. With this, we’ll also add Python to the list of LSP languages and to the list of languages org-babel supports.
(use-package python
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:after ob
:mode (("SConstruct\\'" . python-mode)
("SConscript\\'" . python-mode)

(setq python-indent-guess-indent-offset-verbose nil)
(when (and (executable-find "python3")

:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key

Now let’s add a package for pytest.
(use-package pytest
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:commands (pytest-one

Poetry is a nice tool with which we can manage our Python runtime version as well as our dependencies.
(use-package poetry
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:commands (poetry-venv-toggle
poetry-tracking-mode)
:config
(setq poetry-tracking-strategy 'switch-buffer)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook #'poetry-tracking-mode))
This package will bring a new major mode for editing pip requirements.
(use-package pip-requirements
:defer t
:straight (:build t))
Why use the command line to interact with pip when we can do it with an Emacs frontend?
(use-package pippel
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:keymaps 'python-mode-map
:packages 'pippel
"P" #'pippel-list-packages))
This is a pipenv porcelain
(use-package pipenv
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:commands (pipenv-activate
pipenv-deactivate
pipenv-shell
pipenv-open
pipenv-install
pipenv-uninstall)
:hook (python-mode . pipenv-mode)

This integrates pyenv
into python-mode
.
(use-package pyenv

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook #'pyenv-track-virtualenv)
(add-to-list 'global-mode-string
'(pyenv-virtual-env-name (" venv:" pyenv-virtual-env-name " "))
'append))
Let’s also add a mode for pyenv
:
(use-package pyenv-mode
:defer t
:after python
:straight (:build t)
:if (executable-find "pyenv")
:commands (pyenv-mode-versions)
:general
(phundrak/major-leader-key
:packages 'pyenv-mode
:keymaps 'python-mode-map

This package automatically imports packages we forgot to import.
(use-package pyimport

:keymaps 'python-mode-map
:infix "i"

On the other hand, this one sorts our imports to make them more readable.
(use-package py-isort

Access pydoc through counsel.
(use-package counsel-pydoc

Cython is a Python to C compiler. It also introduces the extended Cython programming language which makes writing C for Python easier. This package is a major mode for the Cython programming language.
(use-package cython-mode

:straight (:build t)
:mode "\\.p\\(yx\\|x[di]\\)\\'"
:config

Flycheck can also be enabled for Cython:
(use-package flycheck-cython

Blacken uses the black
formatter backend to format Python buffers.
(use-package blacken

Finally, I’m using Pyright as my LSP backend for Python.
(use-package lsp-pyright
:after lsp-mode
:defer t
:straight (:buidl t))
Rust
Rust is a general programming language, akin to C++ in some ways, but
much more oriented towards safe code, and much better suited for web
development. First, let’s install the most important package,
rustic
.
(use-package rustic

SCSS is much nicer to use than pure CSS in my opinion, so let’s add a mode for that.

Vue
There isn’t really any configuration in this heading, but an important
note concerning the usage of LSP with Vue. If the packages typescript
and vue-tsc
are not in the package.json
of a project, volar
(or
vue-semantic-server
according to lsp-mode
) won’t start properly. The
simplest fix is to run the following command:
npm install --save-dev vue-tsc typescript
Or replace npm
with whichever package manager you prefer.
If you want to work with Vue in Emacs, web-mode
is more than enough
when paired with an LSP server.
