Introduction
After a couple of years using Spacemacs and a failed attempt at switching to DoomEmacs, I’m finally switching back to a vanilla configuration! Be aware though this document is still very much a work in progress document, lots of comments on existing configuration are missing, and lots of functionalities are still not implemented. I’m still in the process of porting my Spacemacs configuration over here.
Basic configuration
Early Init
The early init file is the file loaded before anything else in Emacs. This is where I put some options in order to disable as quickly as possible some built-in features of Emacs before they can be even loaded, speeding Emacs up a bit.
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil
inhibit-startup-message t
frame-resize-pixelwise t ; fine resize
package-native-compile t) ; native compile packages
(scroll-bar-mode -1) ; disable scrollbar
(tool-bar-mode -1) ; disable toolbar
(tooltip-mode -1) ; disable tooltips
(set-fringe-mode 10) ; give some breathing room
(menu-bar-mode -1) ; disable menubar
(blink-cursor-mode 0) ; disable blinking cursorEmacs Behavior
Editing Text in Emacs
I never want to keep trailing spaces in my files, which is why I’m doing this:
(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'whitespace-cleanup)I don’t understand why some people add two spaces behind a full stop, I sure don’t. Let’s tell Emacs.
(setq-default sentence-end-double-space nil)
There is a minor mode in Emacs which allows to have a finer way of
jumping from word to word: global-subword-mode. It detects if what
Emacs usually considers a word can be understood as several words, as
in camelCase words, and allows us to jump words on this finer level.
(global-subword-mode 1)Lastly, I want the default mode for Emacs to be Emacs Lisp.
(setq-default initial-major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)Indentation
I don’t like tabs. They rarely look good, and if I need it I can
almost always tell Emacs to use them through a .dir-locals.el file or
through the config file of my code formatter. So by default, let’s
disable them:
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))Just to go on a little tangent here: I don’t exactly hate tabs, but I find them really annoying when your text editor knows only them. Sure, for indentation they work great, and they allow different people getting different settings in their text editor depending on their preferred tastes —some may prefer 2 spaces tabs, some may prefer 4 spaces tabs, some deranged people prefer 8 spaces tabs, and some monsters prefer 3!
But the thing is, once you indented your code and then you need alignment, tabs don’t work anymore! Or they may on your text editor but not on your coworker’s! (He’s the one using 3 spaces tabs by the way).
So, is the answer to use spaces instead of tabs, and screw peoples’ preferences in terms of tabs width? No, I say the answer is more moderate than that, and it might frighten or anger some of you at first: use both spaces and tabs. Now, before you lynch me on the main avenue in front of everyone, let me tell you absolutely no one should ever be mixing spaces and tabs for indentation, that would be absolutely terrible and would bring the worst of both worlds. What’s the best of both worlds then?
Tabs for indentation
Spaces for alignment
I haven’t found a way to automate that in Emacs yet aside from formatters’ config file, and tabs look bat in EmacsLisp anyway, so I’ll stick with spaces by default and change it where needed.
Programming Modes
First off, my definition of what makes a “programming mode” doesn’t exactly
fit mine, so on top of prog-mode, let’s add a few other modes.
| Modes |
|---|
| prog-mode |
| latex-mode |
(mapconcat (lambda (mode) (format "%s-hook" (car mode)))
modes
" ")Line Number
Since version 26, Emacs has a built-in capacity of displaying line numbers on the left-side of the buffer. This is a fantastic feature that should actually be the default for all programming modes.
(dolist (mode '(<<prog-modes-gen()>>))
(add-hook mode #'display-line-numbers-mode))Folding code
Most programming languages can usually have their code folded, be it
code between curly braces, chunks of comments or code on another level
of indentation (Python, why…?). The minor-mode that enables that is
hs-minor-mode, let’s enable it for all of these programming modes:
(dolist (mode '(<<prog-modes-gen()>>))
(add-hook mode #'hs-minor-mode))Stay Clean, Emacs!
As nice as Emacs is, it isn’t very polite or clean by default: open a
file, and it will create backup files in the same directory. But then,
when you open your directory with your favorite file manager and see
almost all of your files duplicated with a ~ appended to the filename,
it looks really uncomfortable! This is why I prefer to tell Emacs to
keep its backup files to itself in a directory it only will access.
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . ,(expand-file-name ".tmp/backups/"
user-emacs-directory))))
It also loves to litter its init.el with custom variables here and
there, but the thing is: I regenerate my init.el each time I tangle
this file! How can I keep Emacs from adding stuff that will be almost
immediately lost? Did someone say custom file?
(setq-default custom-file (expand-file-name ".custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
(when (file-exists-p custom-file) ; Don’t forget to load it, we still need it
(load custom-file))If we delete a file, we want it moved to the trash, not simply deleted.
(setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)Finally, the scatch buffer always has some message at its beginning, I don’t want it!
(setq-default initial-scratch-message nil)Stay Polite, Emacs!
When asking for our opinion on something, Emacs loves asking us to answer by “yes” or “no”, but in full! That’s very rude! Fortunately, we can fix this.
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
This will make Emacs ask us for either hitting the y key for “yes”, or
the n key for “no”. Much more polite!
It is also very impolite to keep a certain version of a file in its buffer when said file has changed on disk. Let’s change this behavior:
(global-auto-revert-mode 1)Much more polite! Note that if the buffer is modified and its changes haven’t been saved, it will not automatically revert the buffer and your unsaved changes won’t be lost. Very polite!
Misc
Let’s raise Emacs undo memory to 10MB, and make Emacs auto-save our files by default.
(setq undo-limit 100000000
auto-save-default t)
I’m also interested in keeping track of how fast Emacs loads on my
computer, as well as for how long I keep it open. The values are
stored in a .csv with three columns:
- The date when Emacs was closed
- Emacs’ init time
- Emacs’ uptime
(defvar my/emacs-log-file-time (expand-file-name "emacs-time.csv" user-emacs-directory))
(defun my/write-emacs-loadtime-and-uptime ()
(with-temp-buffer
(find-file my/emacs-log-file-time)
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert (format "%s,%s,%s\n"
(string-trim (shell-command-to-string "date +%F-%H-%M-%S"))
(emacs-init-time "%f")
(emacs-uptime "%dd %hh %mm %ss")))
(save-buffer)))
(add-to-list 'kill-emacs-hook #'my/write-emacs-loadtime-and-uptime)(setq window-combination-resize t) ; take new window space from all other windowsPersonal Information
Emacs needs to know its master! For various reasons by the way, some
packages rely of these variables to know who it is talking to or
dealing with, such as mu4e which will guess who you are if you haven’t
set it up correctly.
(setq user-full-name "Lucien Cartier-Tilet"
user-real-login-name "Lucien Cartier-Tilet"
user-login-name "phundrak"
user-mail-address "lucien@phundrak.com")Visual Configuration
The first visual setting in this section will activate the visible bell. What it does is I get a visual feedback each time I do something Emacs doesn’t agree with, like tring to go up a line when I’m already at the top of the buffer.
(setq visible-bell t)It is nicer to see a cursor cover the actual space of a character.
(setq x-stretch-cursor t)When text is ellipsed, I want the ellipsis marker to be a single character of three dots. Let’s make it so:
(setq truncate-string-ellipsis "…")Thanks to this fork of Emacs, it is now possible to set some transparency to the background of Emacs only and not to the entire frame.
(add-hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook (lambda ()
(interactive)
(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame)
'alpha-background 0.9)))Modeline Modules
I sometimes use Emacs in fullscreen, meaning my usual taskbar will be hidden. This is why I want the current date and time to be displayed, in an ISO-8601 style, although not exactly ISO-8601 (this is the best time format, fight me).
(setq display-time-format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
(display-time-mode 1) ; display time in modelineSomething my taskbar doesn’t have is a battery indicator. However, I want it enabled only if I am on a laptop or if a battery is available.
(let ((battery-str (battery)))
(unless (or (equal "Battery status not available" battery-str)
(string-match-p (regexp-quote "N/A") battery-str))
(display-battery-mode 1)))This isn’t a modeline module per se, but we have an indicator of the current line in Emacs. And although it is useful, I also often wish to know which column I’m on. This can be activated like so:
(column-number-mode)
The following code is, as will several chunks of code in this config,
borrowed from TEC’s configuration. It hides the encoding information
of the file if the file itself is a regular UTF-8 file with \n line
ending. Be aware the doom-modeline-buffer-encoding variable is usabel
here only because I use the Doom modeline as seen below.
(defun modeline-contitional-buffer-encoding ()
"Hide \"LF UTF-8\" in modeline.
It is expected of files to be encoded with LF UTF-8, so only show
the encoding in the modeline if the encoding is worth notifying
the user."
(setq-local doom-modeline-buffer-encoding
(unless (and (memq (plist-get (coding-system-plist buffer-file-coding-system) :category)
'(coding-category-undecided coding-category-utf-8))
(not (memq (coding-system-eol-type buffer-file-coding-system) '(1 2))))
t)))Now, let’s automate the call to this function in order to apply the modifications to the modeline each time we open a new file.
(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #'modeline-contitional-buffer-encoding)Fonts
I don’t like the default font I usually have on my machines, I really don’t. I prefer Cascadia Code, as it also somewhat supports the IPA.
(defvar phundrak/default-font-size 90
"Default font size.")
(when (equal system-type 'gnu/linux)
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Cascadia Code" :height phundrak/default-font-size))Frame Title
This is straight-up copied from TEC’s configuration. See their comment on the matter.
(setq frame-title-format
'(""
"%b"
(:eval
(let ((project-name (projectile-project-name)))
(unless (string= "-" project-name)
(format (if (buffer-modified-p) " ◉ %s" " ● %s - Emacs") project-name))))))Nice Macros From Doom-Emacs
Doom-Emacs has some really nice macros that can come in really handy,
but since I prefer to rely on my own configuration, I’ll instead just
copy their code here. First we get the after! macro:
(require 'cl-lib)
(defmacro after! (package &rest body)
"Evaluate BODY after PACKAGE have loaded.
PACKAGE is a symbol or list of them. These are package names, not modes,
functions or variables. It can be:
- An unquoted package symbol (the name of a package)
(after! helm BODY...)
- An unquoted list of package symbols (i.e. BODY is evaluated once both magit
and git-gutter have loaded)
(after! (magit git-gutter) BODY...)
- An unquoted, nested list of compound package lists, using any combination of
:or/:any and :and/:all
(after! (:or package-a package-b ...) BODY...)
(after! (:and package-a package-b ...) BODY...)
(after! (:and package-a (:or package-b package-c) ...) BODY...)
Without :or/:any/:and/:all, :and/:all are implied.
This is a wrapper around `eval-after-load' that:
1. Suppresses warnings for disabled packages at compile-time
2. Supports compound package statements (see below)
3. Prevents eager expansion pulling in autoloaded macros all at once"
(declare (indent defun) (debug t))
(if (symbolp package)
(list (if (or (not (bound-and-true-p byte-compile-current-file))
(require package nil 'noerror))
#'progn
#'with-no-warnings)
;; We intentionally avoid `with-eval-after-load' to prevent eager
;; macro expansion from pulling (or failing to pull) in autoloaded
;; macros/packages.
`(eval-after-load ',package ',(macroexp-progn body)))
(let ((p (car package)))
(cond ((not (keywordp p))
`(after! (:and ,@package) ,@body))
((memq p '(:or :any))
(macroexp-progn
(cl-loop for next in (cdr package)
collect `(after! ,next ,@body))))
((memq p '(:and :all))
(dolist (next (cdr package))
(setq body `((after! ,next ,@body))))
(car body))))))Custom Elisp
Dired functions
phundrak/open-marked-files
This function allows the user to open all marked files from a dired buffer as new Emacs buffers.
(defun phundrak/open-marked-files (&optional files)
"Open all marked FILES in dired buffer as new Emacs buffers."
(interactive)
(let* ((file-list (if files
(list files)
(if (equal major-mode "dired-mode")
(dired-get-marked-files)
(list (buffer-file-name))))))
(mapc (lambda (file-path)
(find-file file-path))
(file-list))))
xah/open-in-external-app
(defun xah/open-in-external-app (&optional file)
"Open FILE or dired marked FILE in external app.
The app is chosen from the user’s OS preference."
(interactive)
(let ((file-list (if file
(list file)
(if (equal major-mode "dired-mode")
(dired-get-marked-files)
(list (buffer-file-name)))))
(do-it-p (if (<= (length file-list) 5)
t
(y-or-n-p "Open more than 5 files? "))))
(when do-it-p
(mapc (lambda (file-path)
(let ((process-connection-type nil))
(start-process "" nil "xdg-open" file-path)))
file-list))))
xah/dired-sort
(defun xah/dired-sort ()
"Sort dired dir listing in different ways.
Prompt for a choice."
(interactive)
(let (sort-by arg)
(setq sort-by (completing-read "Sort by:" '("name" "size" "date" "extension")))
(pcase sort-by
("name" (setq arg "-ahl --group-directories-first"))
("date" (setq arg "-ahl -t --group-directories-first"))
("size" (setq arg "-ahl -S --group-directories-first"))
("extension" (setq arg "ahlD -X --group-directories-first"))
(otherwise (error "Dired-sort: unknown option %s" otherwise)))
(dired-sort-other arg)))Switch between buffers
Two default shortcuts I really like from Spacemacs are SPC b m and SPC
b s, which bring the user directly to the *Messages* buffer and the
*scratch* buffer respectively. These functions do exactly this.
(defun switch-to-messages-buffer ()
"Switch to Messages buffer."
(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer (messages-buffer)))
(defun switch-to-scratch-buffer ()
"Switch to Messages buffer."
(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer "*scratch*"))Screenshots
Since Emacs27, it is possible for Emacs to take screenshots of itself
in various formats. I’m mainly interested by the SVG and PNG format,
so I’ll only write functions for these. It isn’t really redundant with
the screenshot.el package used here since these functions take a
screenshot of Emacs as a whole rather than of a code snippet.
First, we have a general function which is a slight modification of
the function shared by Alphapapa in this Reddit comment. It has been
modified so it is possible to pass the function an argument for the
format the screenshot will be taken as, and if type is nil the user
can still chose it.
(defun self-screenshot (&optional type)
"Save a screenshot of type TYPE of the current Emacs frame.
As shown by the function `', type can weild the value `svg',
`png', `pdf'.
This function will output in /tmp a file beginning with \"Emacs\"
and ending with the extension of the requested TYPE."
(interactive)
(let* ((type (if type type
(intern (completing-read "Screenshot Type: "
'(png svg pdf postscript)))))
(extension (pcase type
('png ".png")
('svg ".svg")
('pdf ".pdf")
('postscript ".ps")
(otherwise (error "Cannot export screenshot of type %s" otherwise))))
(filename (make-temp-file "Emacs-" nil extension))
(data (x-export-frames nil type)))
(with-temp-file filename
(insert data))
(kill-new filename)
(message filename)))For convenience’s sake, I’ll also write two functions dedicated to taking a screenshot in the SVG format and the PNG format respectively.
(defun self-screenshot-svg ()
"Save an SVG screenshot of Emacs.
See `self-screenshot'."
(interactive)
(self-screenshot 'svg))
(defun self-screenshot-png ()
"Save a PNG screenshot of Emacs.
See `self-screenshot'."
(interactive)
(self-screenshot 'png))These functions were used to take the screenshots you can see in this document.
Org Functions
Handle new windows
The two functions below allow the user to not only create a new window to the right or below the current window (respectively), but also to focus the new window immediately.
(defun split-window-right-and-focus ()
"Spawn a new window right of the current one and focus it."
(interactive)
(split-window-right)
(windmove-right))
(defun split-window-below-and-focus ()
"Spawn a new window below the current one and focus it."
(interactive)
(split-window-below)
(windmove-down))
(defun kill-buffer-and-delete-window ()
"Kill the current buffer and delete its window."
(interactive)
(progn
(kill-this-buffer)
(delete-window)))
phundrak/toggle-org-src-window-split
(defun phundrak/toggle-org-src-window-split ()
"This function allows the user to toggle the behavior of
`org-edit-src-code'. If the variable `org-src-window-setup' has
the value `split-window-right', then it will be changed to
`split-window-below'. Otherwise, it will be set back to
`split-window-right'"
(interactive)
(if (equal org-src-window-setup 'split-window-right)
(setq org-src-window-setup 'split-window-below)
(setq org-src-window-setup 'split-window-right))
(message "Org-src buffers will now split %s"
(if (equal org-src-window-setup 'split-window-right)
"vertically"
"horizontally")))Package Management
Repositories
By default, only GNU’s repositories are available to the package managers of Emacs. I also want to use Melpa and org-mode’s repository, so let’s add them! Note that the Elpa repository has been renamed to the gnu repository due to the addition of another Elpa repository, nongnu, which will hosts packages that do not conform to the FSF’s copyright assignment. Both the gnu and the nonfree repositories are Elpa repositories now, and they were renamed in order to avoid any confusion between the two of them.
(setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")))Straight
For my package management, I prefer to use straight (Github). This is
due to its capacity of integrating nicely with use-package, which is
also supported by general which I use for my keybindings (see below),
but also because with it I can specify where to retrieve packages that
are not on MELPA or ELPA but on Github and other online Git
repositories too.

General is an awesome package for managing keybindings. Not only is it
oriented towards keychords by default (which I love), but it also
provides some integration with evil so that we can declare keybindings
for certain states only! This is a perfect replacement for define-key,
evil-define-key, and any other function for defining keychords. And it
is also possible to declare a prefix for my keybindings! By default,
all keybinds will be prefixed with SPC and keybinds related to a
specific mode (often major modes) will be prefixed by a comma , (and
by C-SPC and M-m respectively when in insert-mode or emacs-mode). You
can still feel some influence from my Spacemacs years here.

Hydra is a simple menu creator for keybindings.

The following hydra allows me to quickly zoom in and out in the current buffer.
(defhydra hydra-zoom ()
"

[_0_]^^ reset zoom
"
("t" text-scale-increase "zoom in")
("s" text-scale-decrease "zoom out")
("0" text-scale-adjust "reset")
("q" nil "finished" :exit t))
Similarly, this one is also inspired from Spacemacs and allows the
user to interact with the width of the buffer in writeroom.
(defhydra writeroom-buffer-width ()
"
^Width^ ^Other
^^^^^^^^-----------------------
[_t_] enlarge [_r_/_0_] adjust

("t" writeroom-increase-width "enlarge")
("s" writeroom-decrease-width "shrink")
("r" writeroom-adjust-width "adjust")
("0" writeroom-adjust-width "adjust"))
Another similar one is for mu4e-view-mode that allows me to shrink or
grow the mu4e-headers buffer when viewing an email.

My main menu package is ivy which I use as much as possible –I’ve
noticed helm can be slow, very slow in comparison to ivy so I’ll use
the latter as much as possible. Actually, only ivy is installed for

restricted in terms of features compared to ivy.

As seen below, I use org-msg to compose my emails, which includes by
default my signature. Therefore, there is no need for Emacs itself to
know about it since I don’t want it to include it a second time after
org-msg already did.
(setq message-signature nil
mail-signature nil)Mu4e
Mu4e is a very eye-pleasing email client for Emacs, built around mu
and which works well with mbsync (found in Arch’s isync package). For
me, the main advantage of mu4e is it has a modern interface for
emailing, and quite straightforward. I tried a couple of other email
clients for Emacs, and I even was for some time a Gnus user, but in
the end, mu4e really works best for me. Below you’ll find my
configuration for the mu4e package itself.

Quick sidenote: on ArchLinux, you’ll need to install either mu or
mu-git from the AUR in order to use mu4e. I also have a .desktop file
so I can open mu4e directly from my program picker. It uses the shell
script emacsmail I’ve written here.
[Desktop Entry]

First, let’s inform Emacs how it can send emails, using which service and how. In my case, I use my own mail server.
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.phundrak.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)We also need to inform it on where my emails are stored on my machine, and how to retrieve them.
(setq mu4e-get-mail-command "mbsync -a"
mu4e-root-maildir "~/Mail"
mu4e-trash-folder "/Trash"
mu4e-refile-folder "/Archive"
mu4e-sent-folder "/Sent"
mu4e-drafts-folder "/Drafts")
In the same vein of this bit of configuration, I do not want mu4e to
insert my mail signature, org-msg already does that.
(setq mu4e-compose-signature nil)Bookmarks
In mu4e, the main focus isn’t really mail directories such as your inbox, your sent messages and such, but instead you manipulate bookmarks which will show you emails depending on tags. This mean you can create some pretty customized bookmarks that go way beyound your simple inbox, outbox and all. Actually, four of my bookmarks have a couple of filtering:
- anything in my inbox linked to my university
- the emacs-doctor mailing list (French Emacs mailing list)
- the conlang mailing lists
- and my inbox for any mail not caught by any of these filters
And all of them will have the requirement not to display any trashed email. Actually, all of my bookmarks will have this requirement, except for the bookmark dedicated to them as well as my sent emails. I’ll add these latter requirements later.
Here are the requirements for my university bookmark. The regex
matches any email address which contains either up8.edu or
univ-paris8, which can be found in email addresses from the University
Paris 8 (my university).
(let ((regex "/.*up8\\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/"))
<<mu4e-bookmarks-from-copy-to-gen>>)f:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR c:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR t:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/
Next I need an inbox dedicated to the association I’m part of.
(let ((regex "/.*supran\\.fr/"))
<<mu4e-bookmarks-from-copy-to-gen>>)f:/.*supran\.fr/ OR c:/.*supran\.fr/ OR t:/.*supran\.fr/
As for the Emacs-doctor list, I need to match both the current, modern mailing list address but also its old address.
(mapconcat (lambda (address)
(mapconcat (lambda (flag)
(concat flag ":" address))
'("list" "t" "f")
" OR "))
'("ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org" "ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com")
" OR ")list:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR t:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR f:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR list:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com OR t:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com OR f:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com
Another bookmark I wish to have is one dedicated to emails related to issues and PRs from Github.
(string-join '("list:/.*\\.github\\.com/"
"to:/.*noreply\\.github\\.com/")
" OR ")list:/.*\.github\.com/ OR to:/.*noreply\.github\.com/
When it comes to the conlang mailing list, let’s not match anything from or to them. I’ll also include the auxlang mailing list –I’m not subscribed anymore, but it’ll keep my inbox clean.
(mapconcat (lambda (address)
(mapconcat (lambda (flag)
(concat flag ":" address))
'("f" "t" "list")
" OR "))
'("CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU" "AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU")
" OR ")f:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR t:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR list:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR f:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR t:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR list:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU
As I said earlier, something that will often come back in my bookmarks is the emails must not be trashed to appear. I want also to display junk emails, so I end up with the following rule:
(string-join `("NOT flag:trashed"
,(format "(%s)" (mapconcat (lambda (maildir) (concat "maildir:" maildir))
'("/Inbox" "/Junk")
" OR ")))
" AND ")NOT flag:trashed AND (maildir:/Inbox OR maildir:/Junk)
And for the last string-generating code, let’s describe my main inbox:
(string-join (cons
"<<mu4e-bookmarks-default-filter()>>"
`(
,(format "(%s)"
<<mu4e-bookmarks-filter-conlang-list>>)
,(format "(%s)" "<<mu4e-bookmarks-filter-asso()>>")
,(format "(%s)"
<<mu4e-bookmarks-filter-emacs-list>>)
,(format "(%s)"
<<mu4e-bookmarks-filter-uni>>)))
" AND NOT ")NOT flag:trashed AND (maildir:/Inbox OR maildir:/Junk) AND NOT (f:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR t:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR list:CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR f:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR t:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU OR list:AUXLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU) AND NOT (f:/.*supran.fr/ OR c:/.*supran.fr/ OR t:/.*supran.fr/) AND NOT (list:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR t:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR f:ateliers-emacs.framalistes.org OR list:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com OR t:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com OR f:ateliers-paris.emacs-doctor.com) AND NOT (f:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR c:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/ OR t:/.*up8\.edu|.*univ-paris8.*/)

Dealing with spammers
I’m sure you have received at least one email recently from a sketchy email address asking you something that might be completely unrelated to what you do, or at least somewhat related. Fortunately, we have a hero! Now, let me write a function that will insert their pre-written text at point so I don’t have to go back to their Twitter thread each time I want to shut spammers up.
(defun reply-to-bill ()
(interactive)
(insert "Please forward this email to bill@noprocurement.com,
and delete my email, as I’ll be changing jobs soon, and this
email address will no longer be active.
Bill Whiskoney is a senior partner at Nordic Procurement
Services, and he handles our budget and will help you further or
introduce you to someone who can."))If you want the full story, make sure to read the whole thread, I guarantee it, it’s worth your time! And in case the Twitter thread disappear in the future, here is a backup.
Getting Fancy
I’m not a huge fan of mu4e’s default icons marking my emails, so I’ll
redefine them as follows. Be aware the name of these icons are from
faicon in the package all-the-icons.
| Mark | Flag | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| draft | D | pencil |
| flagged | F | flag |
| new | N | rss |
| passed | P | check |
| replied | R | reply |
| seen | S | eye |
| unread | u | eye-slash |
| trashed | T | trash |
| attach | a | paperclip |
| encrypted | x | lock |
| signed | s | certificate |
(mapconcat (lambda (line)
(let ((mark (car line))
(flag (cadr line))
(icon (caddr line)))
(format "mu4e-headers-%s-mark `(\"%s\" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon \"%s\" :height 0.8))"
mark
flag
icon)))
table
"\n")mu4e-headers-draft-mark `("D" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "pencil" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-flagged-mark `("F" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "flag" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-new-mark `("N" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "rss" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-passed-mark `("P" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "check" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-replied-mark `("R" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "reply" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-seen-mark `("S" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "eye" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-unread-mark `("u" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "eye-slash" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-trashed-mark `("T" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "trash" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-attach-mark `("a" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "paperclip" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-encrypted-mark `("x" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "lock" :height 0.8))
mu4e-headers-signed-mark `("s" . ,(all-the-icons-faicon "certificate" :height 0.8))
Let’s enable them and set them:
(setq mu4e-use-fancy-chars t
<<mu4e-fancy-marks-gen()>>)(defun my/set-mu4e-headers-width ()
(let ((width (window-body-width))
(threshold (+ 120 80)))
(setq mu4e-split-view (if (> width threshold)
'vertical
'horizontal))
(message "Window width: %d\tthreshold: %d\nSplit: %S"
width
threshold
mu4e-split-view)))
(setq mu4e-headers-visible-columns 120
mu4e-headers-visible-lines 15)
(add-hook 'mu4e-headers-mode-hook #'my/set-mu4e-headers-width)Headers mode
(add-hook 'mu4e-headers-mode-hook (lambda () (visual-line-mode -1)))
(add-hook 'mu4e-headers-mode-hook (lambda () (toggle-truncate-lines -1)))Keybindings
By default, Evil has some pretty annoying keybindings for users of the
bépo layout: hjkl becomes ctsr for us. Let’s undefine some of these:
(phundrak/undefine
:keymaps 'mu4e-view-mode-map
:packages 'mu4e
"S" nil
"r" nil
"c" nil
"gu" nil)
(phundrak/undefine
:keymaps '(mu4e-view-mode-map mu4e-headers-mode-map)
:packages 'mu4e
"s" nil)
Now, let’s define some keybindings for mu4e’s view mode, that is when
we are viewing an email. All these keybindings will reside between the
major-mode specific leader key , and most of these keybindings can be
described with a simple function:
| Keybinding | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| & | mu4e-view-pipe | |
| . | mu4e-headers-split-adjust-width/body | mu4e-headers width |
| a | nil | attachments |
| a& | mu4e-view-pipe-attachment | |
| aa | mu4e-view-attachment-action | |
| ao | mu4e-view-open-attachment | |
| aO | mu4e-view-open-attachment-with | |
| c | nil | compose |
| cc | mu4e-compose-new | |
| ce | mu4e-compose-edit | |
| cf | mu4e-compose-forward | |
| cr | mu4e-compose-reply | |
| cR | mu4e-compose-resend | |
| g | nil | go to |
| gu | mu4e-view-go-to-url | |
| gX | mu4e-view-fetch-url | |
| l | mu4e-show-log | |
| m | nil | mark |
| md | mu4e-view-mark-for-trash | |
| mD | mu4e-view-mark-for-delete | |
| mm | mu4e-view-mark-for-move | |
| mr | mu4e-view-mark-for-refile | |
| mR | mu4e-view-mark-for-read | |
| mu | mu4e-view-mark-for-unread | |
| mU | mu4e-view-mark-for-unmark | |
| t | mu4e-view-mark-thread | mark thread |
| T | nil | toggle |
| Tc | mu4e-view-toggle-hide-cited | |
| Th | mu4e-view-toggle-html | |
| n | mu4e-view-headers-next | |
| N | mu4e-view-headers-next-unread | |
| p | mu4e-view-headers-prev | |

(phundrak/major-leader-key
:keymaps 'mu4e-view-mode-map
:packages 'mu4e
<<general-keybindings-gen(table=mu4e-keybindings-view-tbl)>>)Two other keybinds are added without a prefix, just for the sake of convenience.

Don’t let the name of the package fool you! parinfer-rust-mode is not
a parinfer mode for rust-mode, but a mode for parinfer-rust. parinfer
was a project for handling parenthesis and other double markers in a
much more intuitive way when writing Lisp code. However, it is now out
of date (last commit was on January 2nd, 2019) and the repository has
since been archived. New implementations then appeared, one of them is
parinfer-rust, obviously written in Rust, around which
parinfer-rust-mode is built. Enabling parinfer-rust-mode should also
automatically disable smartparens-mode in order to avoid conflicting
behavior.

smartparens is a package similar to parinfer, but while the latter is
more specialized for Lisp dialects, smartparens works better with
other programming languages that still uses parenthesis, but not as
much as Lisp dialects; think for example C, C++, Rust, Javascript, and
so on.

Dired
Dired is Emacs’ built-in file manager. It’s really great, and replaces any graphical file manager for me most of the time because:
- I am not limited to x tabs or panes
- All actions can be done with keybindings
- I get a consistent behavior between Dired and Emacs, since it’s the same thing.
However, the only thing I lack still is thumbnails. In any case, I need still to make some tweaks in order to make it usable for me.

Note that I am activating by default gnus-dired-mode. This is just for
the sake of convenience, since I’m not penalized with activating this
mode when it is not needed, but I don’t have to manually activate it
each time I need it.
Dired-x stands for “dired extra” which provides a couple more features that are for some reason not included in dired yet.

dired-du provides the user with the option to be able to see the size
of directories as they are, rather than just the size of their
inode. However, I will not enable it by default as it can take some
time to get the actual size of a directory.
(use-package dired-du

This package on the other hand provides Git information to the user in
the current dired buffer in a similar way to how Github and Gitea
display the latest commit message and its age about a file in the file
tree. And by default, I want dired-git-info to hide file details.

After reading about a blog article, I found out it is possible to run
quite a few things through compilation-mode, so why not? First, let’s
redefine some keybinds for this mode. I’ll also define a general
keybind in order to re-run my programs from other buffers than the
compilation-mode buffer. I also want to follow the output of the
compilation buffer, as well as enable some syntax highlighting.
(use-package compile
:defer t
:straight (compile :type built-in)

Eshell is a built-in shell available from Emacs which I use almost as often as fish. Some adjustments are necessary to make it fit my taste though.
(use-package eshell
:defer t
:straight (:type built-in :build t)
:general
(phundrak/evil
:keymaps 'eshell-mode-map
"c" #'evil-backward-char
"t" #'evil-next-line

<<eshell-alias-file>>
<<eshell-concat-shell-command>>
<<eshell-alias-open>>
<<eshell-alias-buffers>>
<<eshell-alias-emacs>>
<<eshell-alias-mkcd>>)Aliases
First, let’s declare our list of “dumb” aliases we’ll use in Eshell. You can find them here.
(setq eshell-aliases-file (expand-file-name "eshell-aliases" user-emacs-directory))A couple of other aliases will be defined through custom Elisp functions, but first I’ll need a function for concatenating a shell command into a single string:
(defun phundrak/concatenate-shell-command (&rest command)
"Concatenate an eshell COMMAND into a single string.
All elements of COMMAND will be joined in a single
space-separated string."
(string-join command " "))
I’ll also declare some aliases here, such as open and openo that
respectively allow me to open a file in Emacs, and same but in another
window.
(defalias 'open #'find-file)
(defalias 'openo #'find-file-other-window)
The default behavior of eshell/clear is not great at all, although it
clears the screen it also scrolls all the way down. Therefore, let’s
alias it to eshell/clear-scrollback which has the correct behavior.
(defalias 'eshell/clear #'eshell/clear-scrollback)
As you see, these were not declared in my dedicated aliases file but
rather were declared programmatically. This is because I like to keep
my aliases file for stuff that could work too with other shells were
the syntax a bit different, and aliases related to Elisp are kept
programmatically. I’ll also declare list-buffers an alias of ibuffer
because naming it that way kind of makes more sense to me.
(defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
I still have some stupid muscle memory telling me to open emacs, vim
or nano in Eshell, which is stupid: I’m already inside Emacs and I
have all its power available instantly. So, let’s open each file
passed to these commands.
(defun eshell/emacs (&rest file)
"Open each FILE and kill eshell.
Old habits die hard."
(when file
(dolist (f (reverse file))
(find-file f t))))
Finally, I’ll declare mkcd which allows the simultaneous creation of a
directory and moving into this newly created directory. And of course,
it will also work if the directory also exists or if parent
directories don’t, similarly to the -p option passed to mkdir.
(defun eshell/mkcd (dir)
"Create the directory DIR and move there.
If the directory DIR doesn’t exist, create it and its parents
if needed, then move there."
(mkdir dir t)
(cd dir))Autosuggestion
I really like fish’s autosuggestion feature, so let’s reproduce it here!
(use-package esh-autosuggest
:defer t
:after eshell
:straight (:build t)
:hook (eshell-mode . esh-autosuggest-mode)
:general
(:keymaps 'esh-autosuggest-active-map
"C-e" #'company-complete-selection))Commands
When I’m in Eshell, sometimes I wish to open multiple files at once in
Emacs. For this, when I have several arguments for find-file, I want
to be able to open them all at once. Let’s modify find-file like so:
(defadvice find-file (around find-files activate)
"Also find all files within a list of files. This even works recursively."
(if (listp filename)
(cl-loop for f in filename do (find-file f wildcards))
ad-do-it))
I also want to be able to have multiple instances of Eshell opened at
once. For that, I declared the function eshell-new that does exactly
that.
(defun eshell-new ()
"Open a new instance of eshell."
(interactive)
(eshell 'N))
A very useful command I use often in fish is z, a port from bash’s and
zsh’s command that allows to jump around directories based on how
often we go in various directories.
(use-package eshell-z
:defer t
:after eshell
:straight (:build t)
:hook (eshell-mode . (lambda () (require 'eshell-z))))Environment Variables
Some environment variables need to be correctly set so Eshell can
correctly work. I would like to set two environment variables related
to Dart development: the DART_SDK and ANDROID_HOME variables.
(setenv "DART_SDK" "/opt/dart-sdk/bin")
(setenv "ANDROID_HOME" (concat (getenv "HOME") "/Android/Sdk/"))
The EDITOR variable also needs to be set for git commands, especially the
yadm commands.
(setenv "EDITOR" "emacsclient -c -a emacs")
Finally, for some specific situations I need SHELL to be set to
something more standard than fish:
(setenv "SHELL" "/bin/sh")Visual configuration
I like to have at quick glance some information about my machine when I fire up a terminal. I haven’t found anything that does that the way I like it, so I’ve written a package! It’s actually available on MELPA, but since I’m the main dev of this package, I’ll keep track of the git repository.
(use-package eshell-info-banner
:after (eshell)
:defer t
:straight (eshell-info-banner :build t
:type git

:config
(setq eshell-info-banner-width 80
eshell-info-banner-partition-prefixes '("/dev" "zroot" "tank")))Another feature I like is fish-like syntax highlight, which brings some more colors to Eshell.
(use-package eshell-syntax-highlighting
:after (esh-mode eshell)
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:config
(eshell-syntax-highlighting-global-mode +1))
Powerline prompts are nice, git-aware prompts are even better!
eshell-git-prompt is nice, but I prefer to write my own package for
that.

Tramp is an Emacs built-in package that allows the user to connect to
various hosts using various protocols, such as ssh and
rsync. However, I have some use-case for Tramp which are not
supported natively. I will describe them here.
(require 'tramp)
(use-package tramp
:straight (tramp :type built-in :build t)
:init
<<tramp-add-yadm>>)Yadm
yadm is a git wrapper made to easily manage your dotfiles. It has
loads of features I don’t use (the main one I like but don’t use is
its Jinja-like host and OS-aware syntax), but unfortunately Magit
doesn’t play nice with it. Tramp to the rescue, and this page explains
how! Let’s just insert in my config this code snippet:
(add-to-list 'tramp-methods
'("yadm"
(tramp-login-program "yadm")
(tramp-login-args (("enter")))
(tramp-login-env (("SHELL") ("/bin/sh")))
(tramp-remote-shell "/bin/sh")
(tramp-remote-shell-args ("-c"))))I’ll also create a fuction for connecting to this new Tramp protocol:
(defun my/yadm ()
"Manage my dotfiles through TRAMP."
(interactive)
(magit-status "/yadm::"))Making my life easier
Bufler
Bufler is a package that organizes and lists buffers in a much better
way than how they are usually sorted. You can easily and quickly find
buffers by their group, not only by their name, and THIS is great
news! Also, no helm please! And for some reasons the keybindings are
borked by default, so let’s redefine them, and let’s also rebind SPC
to p since it would conflict with my main general prefix.

:straight (:build t))Org is the main reason I am using Emacs. It is an extremely powerfu tool when you want to write anything that is not necessarily primarily programming-related, though it absolutely can be! Org can be a replacement for anything similar to LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice Calc, and LibreOffice Impress. It is a much more powerful (and older) version of Markdown which can be exported to LaTeX and HTML at least, rendering writing web pages and technical, scientific documents much simpler than writing manually HTML and LaTeX code, especially when a single document source is meant to be exported for both formats. And since org is an Emacs package, that also means it can be greatly extended however we like!

The main feature from evil-org that I love is how easy it is to modify
some keybindings for keyboards layouts that do not have hjkl, such as

comfortable than the default ones you get with evil and org naked.

| C |

A useful package I like is toc-org which creates automatically a table
of contents. My main usage for this however is not just to create a

for org files that will be hosted and viewable on Github.

I want to disable by default behavior of ^ and _ for only one
character, making it compulsory to use instead ^{} and _{}
respectively. This is due to my frequent usage of the underscore in my
org files as a regular character and not a markup one, especially when
describing phonetics evolution. So, let’s disable it:
(setq org-use-sub-superscripts (quote {}))Epub

you can guess, exports org files to the Epub format.

When it comes to exports, I want the LaTeX and PDF exports to be done with XeLaTeX only. This implies the modification of the following variable:
(setq org-latex-compiler "xelatex")
I also want to get by default minted for LaTeX listings so I can have
syntax highlights:
(setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
The default packages break my LaTeX exports: for some reasons, images
are not loaded and exported in PDFs, so I needed to redifine the
default packages excluding the one that broke my exports; namely, I
need to remove inputenc, fontenc and grffile. I also added some default
packages:
mintedfor syntax highlightingclevereffor better references to various elements.svgfor inserting SVG files in PDF outputsbooktabsfor nicer tables- and
tabularxfor tabulars with adjustable columns
(dolist (package '(("AUTO" "inputenc" t ("pdflatex"))
("T1" "fontenc" t ("pdflatex"))

("" "svg")
("" "booktabs")
("" "tabularx")))
(add-to-list 'org-latex-default-packages-alist package t))
(setq org-latex-reference-command "\\cref{%s}")
By the way, reference links in LaTeX should be written in this format,
since we are using cleveref:
(setq org-export-latex-hyperref-format "\\ref{%s}")And Minted should be default break lines if a line is too long:
(setq org-latex-minted-options '(("breaklines")
("tabsize" "2")
("frame" "single")
("autogobble")))When it comes to the export itself, the latex file needs to be processed several times through XeLaTeX in order to get some references right. Don’t forget to also run bibtex!
(setq org-latex-pdf-process
'("xelatex -8bit -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"bibtex %b"

servers on my repos though.

:straight (:build t))Keybindings
Be prepared, I have a lot of keybindings for org-mode! They are all
prefixed with a comma , in normal mode.
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| RET | org-ctrl-c-ret | |
| * | org-ctrl-c-star | |
| , | org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c | |
| ' | org-edit-special | |
| - | org-ctrl-c-minus | |
| a | org-agenda | |
| c | org-capture | |
| e | org-export-dispatch | |
| l | org-store-link | |
| p | org-priority | |
| r | org-reload |
I then have a couple of babel-related functions.
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| b | nil | babel |
| b. | org-babel-transient/body | |
| bb | org-babel-execute-buffer | |
| bc | org-babel-check-src-block | |
| bC | org-babel-tangle-clean | |
| be | org-babel-execute-maybe | |
| bf | org-babel-tangle-file | |
| bn | org-babel-next-src-block | |
| bo | org-babel-open-src-block-result | |
| bp | org-babel-previous-src-block | |
| br | org-babel-remove-result-one-or-many | |
| bR | org-babel-goto-named-result | |
| bt | org-babel-tangle | |
| bi | org-babel-view-src-block-info |
The org-babel-transient hydra allows me to quickly navigate between
code blocks and interact with them. This code block was inspired by
one you can find in Spacemacs.
(defhydra org-babel-transient ()
"
^Navigate^ ^Interact
^^^^^^^^^^^------------------------------------------
[_t_/_s_] navigate src blocs [_x_] execute src block
[_g_]^^ goto named block [_'_] edit src block
[_z_]^^ recenter screen [_q_] quit

("q" nil :exit t)
("t" org-babel-next-src-block)
("s" org-babel-previous-src-block)
("g" org-babel-goto-named-src-block)
("z" recenter-top-bottom)
("x" org-babel-execute-maybe)
("'" org-edit-special :exit t))We next have keybindings related to org-mode’s agenda capabilities. We can schedule a todo header for some dates, or set a deadline.
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| d | nil | dates |
| dd | org-deadline | |
| ds | org-schedule | |
| dt | org-time-stamp | |
| dT | org-time-stamp-inactive |
Let’s now define some keybinds for inserting stuff in our org buffer:
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| i | nil | insert |
| ib | org-insert-structure-template | |
| id | org-insert-drawer | |
| ie | org-set-effort | |
| if | org-footnote-new | |
| ih | org-insert-heading | |
| ii | org-insert-item | |
| il | org-insert-link | |
| in | org-add-note | |
| ip | org-set-property | |
| is | org-insert-subheading | |
| it | org-set-tags-command |
There isn’t a lot of stuff I can jump to yet, but there’s still some:
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| j | nil | jump |
| ja | counsel-org-goto-all | |
| jh | counsel-org-goto |
Tables get a bit more love:
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| t | nil | tables |
| tc | org-table-move-column-left | |
| tt | org-table-move-row-down | |
| ts | org-table-move-row-up | |
| tr | org-table-move-column-right | |
| ta | org-table-align | |
| te | org-table-eval-formula | |
| tf | org-table-field-info | |
| th | org-table-convert | |
| tl | org-table-recalculate | |
| tp | org-plot/gnuplot | |
| tS | org-table-sort-lines | |
| tw | org-table-wrap-region | |
| tx | org-table-shrink | |
| tN | org-table-create-with-table.el | |
| td | nil | delete |
| tdc | org-table-delete-column | |
| tdr | org-table-kill-row | |
| ti | nil | insert |
| tic | org-table-insert-column | |
| tih | org-table-insert-hline | |
| tir | org-table-insert-row | |
| tiH | org-table-hline-and-move | |
| tt | nil | toggle |
| ttf | org-table-toggle-formula-debugger | |
| tto | org-table-toggle-coordinate-overlays |
Finally, let’s make enabling and disabling stuff accessible:
| Key chord | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T | nil | toggle |
| Tc | org-toggle-checkbox | |
| Ti | org-toggle-inline-images | |
| Tl | org-latex-preview | |
| Tn | org-num-mode | |
| Ts | phundrak/toggle-org-src-window-split | |
| Tt | org-show-todo-tree | |
| TT | org-todo |
LaTeX formats
I currently have two custom formats for my Org-mode exports: one for general use
(initialy for my conlanging files, hence its conlang name), and one for beamer
exports.
Below is the declaration of the conlang LaTeX class:
'("conlang"
"\\documentclass{book}"
("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
And here is the declaration of the beamer class:
`("beamer"
,(concat "\\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}\n"
"[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]"
"[PACKAGES]"
"[EXTRA]\n")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
Both these classes have to be added to org-latex-classes like so:
(eval-after-load "ox-latex"
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
<<org-latex-class-conlang>>)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
<<org-latex-class-beamer>>)))Projects
Another great features of Org-mode is the Org projects that allow the user to easily publish a bunch of org files to a remote location. Here is the current declaration of my projects, which will be detailed later:
<<org-proj-config-setup>>
<<org-proj-lang-setup>>
(setq org-publish-project-alist
`(
<<org-proj-config-html>>
<<org-proj-config-static>>
<<org-proj-config>>
<<org-proj-lang-html>>
<<org-proj-lang-pdf>>
<<org-proj-lang-static>>
<<org-proj-lang>>))Configuration website
This is my configuration for exporting my dotfiles to my website in a web format only. No PDFs or anything, just HTML. Please note that I do not use that often anymore, I much prefer the automatic script that I have which deploys through my Drone instance my website on git pushes.
And before we get into the actual configuration, I would like to introduce a couple of variables. This is a bit more verbose than if I declared everything manually, but now I can change all three values at the same time without a hasle.
(defvar phundrak//projects-config-target
"/ssh:Tilo:~/www/phundrak.com/config"
"Points to where exported files for config.phundrak.com should be put.")
(defvar phundrak//projects-config-source
"~/org/config/"
"Points to where the sources for config.phundrak.com are.")
(defvar phundrak//projects-config-language
"en"
"Language of the website config.phundrak.com.")
(defvar phundrak//projects-config-recursive
t
"Defines whether subdirectories should be parsed for config.phundrak.com.")Now, here is my configuration. In this snippet, my org files located in my source directory get exported in the HTML format and published to my target directory on my remote server through RSYNC via TRAMP. A sitemap is automatically generated, which comes in handy with the online sitemap that is available through the navigation bar.
("config-website-org"
:base-directory ,phundrak//projects-config-source
:base-extension "org"

:components ("config-website-org"
"config-website-static"))Linguistics website
My linguistics website is made out of three projects. As for the previous project, let’s declare the common values for these.
(defvar phundrak//projects-conlanging-target
"/ssh:Tilo:~/www/phundrak.com/langue/"
"Points to where exported files for langue.phundrak.com should be put")
(defvar phundrak//projects-conlanging-source

"fr"
"Language of langue.phundrak.com")
(defvar phundrak//projects-conlanging-recursive
t
"Defines whether subdirectories should be parsed for langue.phundrak.com")The first component is the one generating the HTML files from the org files.
("langue-phundrak-com-org"
:base-directory ,phundrak//projects-conlanging-source
:base-extension "org"
:exclude "\\./\\(CONTRIB\\|README\\|head\\|temp\\|svg-ink\\).*"

While most modes of Emacs are dedicated to development, and therefore
are much more comfortable with a fixed-pitch font, more literary modes
such as org-mode are much more enjoyable if you have a variable pitch
font enabled. BUT, these modes can also require some fixed-pitch fonts
for some elements of the buffer, such as code blocks with
org-mode. mixed-pitch comes to the rescue!
(use-package mixed-pitch

I have an issue with org-mode’s emphasis markers: I find them ugly. I
can of course hide them if I simply set org-hide-emphasis-markers to
t, but it makes editing hard since I never know whether I am before or
after the emphasis marker when editing near the beginning/end of an
emphasized region. org-appear fixes this issue so that it shows the
emphasis markers only when the cursor is in the emphasized region,
otherwise they will remain hidden! Very cool!
(use-package org-appear

DSLs, or Domain Specific Languages, are languages dedicated to some very tasks, such as configuration languages or non-general programming such as SQL.
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

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.

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.

YES! ALL OF THEM!
Ahem…
The package all-the-icons allows us to use a wide variety of icons in
Emacs for various purposes, wherever we want, and THAT is GREAT! I’ll
(ab)use this feature in my config, be warned! NOTE: The first time a
configuration with all-the-icons loads on a machine, the needed fonts
might not be available, so you’ll need to install them with the
command M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts.

prettify-symbols-mode is also a nifty feature of Emacs, and it is
