* Introduction
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-f1cbb8bb
:END:
This file is the main source file for my Emacs configuration which contains most
of the user code. It is exported thanks to Emacs’ code tangling from the
original Org file which you can find on my dotfiles’ repository[fn:1] if you are
reading the web version of it. You can also find there my ~.spacemacs~[fn:2] and
its code which isn’t part of the present file. As you can see in my
~.spacemacs~, at init-time, if Emacs detects the tangled configuration files are
older than the Org file, then Emacs tangles them again, and then loads them.
* Spacemacs layers and packages
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.config/emacs/private/spacemacs-layers.el :exports code :results silent :lexical t
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-6d318b87
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
#+END_SRC
Here will be our layer configuration set. Everything here is set with a
~setq-default~ in the ~dotspacemacs/layers~ function like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(defun dotspacemacs/layers ()
(setq-default
;; configuration goes here
))
#+END_SRC
** General configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-General_configuration-66b4311e
:END:
First, we need to tell Spacemacs which base distribution we are using. This is a
layer contained in the directory ~+distribution~. For now, available
distributions are ~spacemacs-base~ and ~spacemacs~ (the default one).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-distribution 'spacemacs)
#+END_SRC
We can seet a lazy installation of layers —i.e. layers are installed only when a
file with a supported type is opened. Possible values are:
- ~all~ :: will lazy install any layer that support lazy installation even the
layers listed in ~dotspacemacs-configuration-layers~
- ~unused~ :: will lazy install only unused layers (i.e. layers not listed in
the variable ~dotspacemacs-configuration-layers~)
- ~nil~ :: disables the lazy installation feature and you have to explicitly
list a layer in the variable ~dotspacemacs-configuration-layers~ to install
it.
The default value is ~unused~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation 'lazy)
#+END_SRC
If the following variable is non-nil, Spacemacs will ask for confirmation before
installing a layer lazily. The default value is ~t~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-ask-for-lazy-installation t)
#+END_SRC
** Package management
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Package_management-0add1a62
:END:
It is possible to indicate to Spacemacs a list of additional paths where to look
for configuration layers. Paths must have a trailing slash, i.e.
=~/.mycontribs/=. As you can see, I added only one:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layer-path
'("~/fromGIT/emacs-packages"))
#+END_SRC
However, I do have additional packages I installed either from the Elpa or the
Melpa. These are set in ~dotspacemacs-additional-packages~, a list of additional
packages that will be installed without being wrapped in a layer. If I need some
configuration for these packages, then I should consider creating a layer. I can
also puth the configuration in ~dotspacemacs/user-config~. To use a local
version of a package, use the ~:location~ property, for instance:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
'(your-package :location "~/path/to/your-package/")
#+END_SRC
With the variable ~dotspacemacs-additional-packages~, it is possible to install
extra packages which are not already included in any layers. Dependencies should
be explicitly included as they won’t be resolved automatically. Here is a table
of all the extra packages I use:
#+NAME: extra-packages
| name of the package | why is it installed |
|----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------|
| caddyfile-mode | Major mode for editing Caddyfiles |
| dired-git-info | Git information in Dired buffers |
| diredfl | Extra font lock rules for a more colourful dired |
| edit-indirect | edit region in separate buffer |
| elcord | rich integration of Emacs in Discord |
| eshell-syntax-highlighting | Syntax highlighting for Eshell |
| info-colors | Extra colors for Emacs's Info-mode |
| multiple-cursors | I don’t like the layer, I prefer this package alone |
| ob-latex-as-png | Inline arbitrary LaTeX snippets as PNGs in Emacs |
| org-sidebar | display on the side the outline of an Org buffer |
| org-tree-slide | presentation tool for org-mode |
| outorg | edit comments as Org-mode buffers |
| ox-ssh | SSH config export for org-mode |
| pinentry | enter a GPG password from Emacs |
| nord-theme | An arctic, north-bluish clean and elegant Emacs theme. |
| s | The long lost Emacs string manipulation library. |
| sicp | Texinfo version of the [[https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/index.html][SICP]] |
| visual-fill-column | allow the use of ~fill-column~ in ~visual-line-mode~ |
| wrap-region | easily wrap region with delimiters |
| wttrin | weather in Emacs |
| yasnippet-snippets | snippets for YaSnippet |
#+name: make-extra-pkg
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var packages=extra-packages[,0] :tangle no :exports none
(mapcar 'make-symbol packages)
#+end_src
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb yes :exports none
(setq-default dotspacemacs-additional-packages '<<make-extra-pkg()>>)
#+end_src
It is possible to also list packages that cannot be updated:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-frozen-packages '(helm-icons))
#+END_SRC
And to list packages which won’t be installed nor loaded:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(company-tern))
#+END_SRC
Finally, it is possible to define the behaviour of Spacemacs when installing
packages. Possible values are:
- ~used-only~ :: installs only explicitly used packages and deletes any unused
packages as well as their unused dependencies
- ~used-but-keep-unused~ :: installs only the used packages but won’t delete
unused ones
- ~all~ :: installs *all* packages supported by Spacemacs and never uninstalls
them.
The default value is ~used-only~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-install-packages 'used-only)
#+END_SRC
** Layers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-36e1c90c
:END:
All layers are set one variable: ~dotspacemacs-configuration-layers~. This
variable is a list of layers, some of them will have some custom variables.
Typically, the variable will be set like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(emacs-lisp
helm
multiple-cursors
org
(shell :variables shell-default-height
30 shell-default-position 'bottom)
treemacs))
#+END_SRC
# Don’t delete this code block, it wraps the layers
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
#+END_SRC
*** Checkers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Checkers-aefeae26
:END:
The two first checkers I use are for spell and syntax checking. ~spell-checking~
is disabled by default, however it should auto-detect the dictionary to use.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spell-checking :variables
spell-checking-enable-by-default nil
spell-checking-enable-auto-dictionary t)
syntax-checking
#+END_SRC
*** Completion
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Completion-883e2b83
:END:
~auto-completion~ is a layer enabled in order to provide auto-completion to all
supported language layers. It is set so that the =RET= key has no behavior with
this layer, however the =TAB= key cycles between candidates displayed by the
auto-completion toolbox. I also want the autocompletion to include snippets in
the popup, and the content of the popup is sorted by usage. It is also disabled
for two modes: magit and Org.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(auto-completion :variables
auto-completion-complete-with-key-sequence-delay 0.2
auto-completion-enable-help-tooltip 'manual

#+END_SRC
~helm~ is also enabled, with its header disabled.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(helm :variables helm-no-header t)
#+END_SRC
*** Email
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Email-67c16308
:END:
I use as my daily Email client ~mu4e~, so let’s enable it and tell Emacs where
mu4e is installed. I also tell mu4e to use maildirs extensions, use async
operations, where to keep attachments, and enable the mu4e modeline.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(mu4e :variables
mu4e-installation-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp"

#+END_SRC
*** Emacs
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Emacs-8e976e5c
:END:
The first layer enabled in this category is ~better-defaults~. I also made it so
that when a command equivalent to ~C-a~ or ~C-e~ is pressed, the cursor will
respectively first move to the beginning of code first before going past the
indentation and to the end of the code before going to the end of the line
before going over the end of the comments on the same line.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(better-defaults :variables
better-defaults-move-to-beginning-of-code-first t
better-defaults-move-to-end-of-code-first t)
#+END_SRC
I also enabled ~ibuffer~ and made it so that buffers are sorted by projects.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ibuffer :variables
ibuffer-group-buffers-by 'projects)
#+END_SRC
Most important of all, the ~org~ layer is also enabled. I enabled support for
Epub exports, Github, Reveal.JS exports, and sticky headers. Project support is
also enabled through files named ~TODOs.org~. I also set the org-download folder
for images in =~/Pictures/org/=, and I set the =RET= key to follow org links if
the cursor is on one.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org :variables
org-enable-epub-support t

#+END_SRC
The ~semantic~ layer is also enabled.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
semantic
#+END_SRC
*** File trees
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-File_trees-5b6ed3e4
:END:
In this category, I only enabled one layer: ~treemacs~. In this layer, I set is
so that treemacs syncs with my current buffer, and it automatically refreshes
its buffer when there is a change in the part of the file system shown by
treemacs.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(treemacs :variables

#+END_SRC
*** Fonts
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Fonts-11de8977

*** Internationalization
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Internationalization-69601ff8
:END:
In this category, I enabled the ~keyboard-layout~ layer to enable compatibility
with the bépo layout. This layer, however, is disabled for magit, Dired and eww.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

**** Domain-specific (DSLs)
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Programming_languages-Domain-specific_(DSLs)-2c919937
:END:
In this category, I enabled support for the ~major-modes~ layer for the Arch
Linux PKGBUILDs support, ~emacs-lisp~ and ~scheme~ layers, support for the CSV
format with the ~csv~ layer, the ~yaml~ language, shell scripting languages and
support for the ~dot~ tool with the ~graphviz~ layer.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
major-modes emacs-lisp scheme graphviz yaml shell-scripts
#+END_SRC
I also added support for HTML and CSS with the ~html~ layer, with the web
formatting tool set to ~web-beautify~, and the LSP layer compatibility enabled
for CSS, less, SCSS and HTML.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(html :variables
web-fmt-tool 'web-beautify
css-enable-lsp t

The ~json~ layer is also enabled, with the format tool set to ~web-beautify~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(json :variables
json-fmt-tool 'web-beautify)
#+END_SRC
The LaTeX layer has also been enabled, with its default compiler set to XeLaTeX.
I also enabled the auto-fill feature, the folding capacity and the “magic”
symbols.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(latex :variables
latex-build-command "xelatex"
latex-enable-auto-fill t
latex-enable-folding t

#+END_SRC
The Markdown layer has been enabled, with support for live preview with ~vmd~,
and and automatic MMM-mode generation for C, C++, Python, Rust and Emacs Lisp.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(markdown :variables
markdown-live-preview-engine 'vmd
markdown-mmm-auto-modes '("c"
"c++"

"rust"
("elisp" "emacs-lisp")))
#+END_SRC
PlantUML is a very useful DSL for creating UML diagrams from some text
description. As you can see below, this layer will be enabled, both as a
standalone mode for opening ~.pum~ files, but also for org-mode code blocks.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(plantuml :variables
plantuml-jar-path "~/.local/bin/plantuml.jar"

**** General-purpose
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Programming_languages-General-purpose-1ed71a5b
:END:
Among the layers I activated, the only one without any specific configuration is
the ~asm~ layer for the Assembly language.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
asm
#+END_SRC
Next, you can find the C/C++ layer for which I set the default language for ~.h~
files to be C. I also enabled support for subprojects and organization of the
include directives on a file save. I also set a couple of LSP-related variables,
such as the LSP executable for C/C++ for its CCLS backend and some highlight
variables.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(c-c++ :variables
c-c++-default-mode-for-headers 'c-mode
c-c++-adopt-subprojects t

#+END_SRC
Dart has also been enabled, with a custom path to the SDK of the Dart server,
and to the LSP server of Dart.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dart :variables
lsp-dart-project-sdk-dir "/opt/dart-sdk/"
lsp-dart-sdk-dir "/opt/dart-sdk/")
#+END_SRC
When it comes to the Python layer, I set its backend and formatter to be bound
to the LSP layer. Its fill columnn was also set to 80 characters, imports are
sorted on save, and the tests can be run using either nose.el or pytest.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(python :variables
python-fill-column 80
python-test-runner '(pytest nose))
#+END_SRC
With the Rust layer, the only custom configuration set is the backend being
bound to the LSP layer.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(rust :variables rust-backend 'lsp)
#+END_SRC
As regards the JavaScript layer, I set its backend to the LSP layer, and bound
its format tool to ~web-beautify~ and its REPL is browser-based. I also want to
include ~node_modules/.bin~ to be automatically added to the buffer local
~exec_path~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(javascript :variables
javascript-backend 'lsp
javascript-fmt-tool 'web-beautify
javascript-repl 'skewer
node-add-modules-path t)
#+END_SRC
Alternatively, I also use Typescript which is a sort of better Javascript as it
should have been, with the LSP backend.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(typescript :variables
typescript-backend 'lsp)
#+END_SRC
I am also currently using the Awesome window manager which requires the Lua
programming language, so here it is.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

In this category, only the ~epub~ and ~pdf~ layers are enabled without any
special configuration, so I can read these files from Emacs directly.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
epub pdf
#+END_SRC
**** Elfeed
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Readers-Elfeed-78877179

Elfeed is an Emacs feeed and RSS reader which can be managed through org files.
Actually, through only one file in my case, located in my =~/org= directory.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
*** Themes
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Themes-d88d1225

Here, the ~colors~ layer is the only one enabled. It activates support for
identifiers colorization, and strings representing colors.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
*** Tools
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Tools-e57e405e

In this category, the first layer to be enabled is the CMake layer for which I
enabled support for the ~cmake-ide~ package.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(cmake :variables
cmake-enable-cmake-ide-support t)
#+END_SRC
Next, we have the Docker, Nginx, Pass (the standard Unix password manager),
Prettier, Systemd, Meson, Imenu-list, Web-beautify, Dap, Helpful, and LSP layers
enabled.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
dap docker helpful imenu-list lsp meson nginx pass prettier systemd

And finally, we also have the Shell layer for which I specified its default
height when spawning at the bottom of the screen should be 40 lines high, and
the default shell to invoke is Eshell.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(shell :variables
shell-default-height 40

*** Custom layers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Spacemacs_layers_and_packages-Layers-Custom_layers-69473533

Lastly, one custom layers have been enabled: my custom layer for conlanging
tools.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

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 ()

#+END_SRC
** Handling my Spacemacs litterate config
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:emacs-lisp: :tangle no :exports code :results silent :lexical t
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Handling-my-Spacemacs-litterate-config-679170db
:END:
Just before we get onto the usual content of the ~dotspacemacs/init~ function
you would find in a typical Spacemacs installation, I would like to talk a bit
about how I manage writing a litterate config for Spacemacs and ensure Emacs
starts with an up-to-date configuration from said litterate config. For that, I
actually declared a couple of variables:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-src-dir "~/.config/emacs/private/"
"Directory for my exported Elisp configuration files")
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-src "~/org/config/emacs.org"
"My litterate config file for Emacs")
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-si (concat phundrak//dotspacemacs-src-dir "spacemacs-init"))
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-sl (concat phundrak//dotspacemacs-src-dir "spacemacs-layers"))
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-uc (concat phundrak//dotspacemacs-src-dir "user-config"))
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-ui (concat phundrak//dotspacemacs-src-dir "user-init"))
(defvar phundrak//dotspacemacs-files (list phundrak//dotspacemacs-si phundrak//dotspacemacs-sl
phundrak//dotspacemacs-uc phundrak//dotspacemacs-ui))

I also declared the following function that tells me if my Elisp files are more
recent than my ~emacs.org~ file. The ~compiled?~ argument lets me compare either
the ~.el~ files if it is ~nil~, or the ~.elc~ files if it is ~t~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak/update-config-files-p (&optional compiled?)

newer than my litterate configuration.
If `compiled?' is `t', check the `.elc' files instead of the

#+END_SRC
Now I know a couple of my files that get exported by this document. If I compare
how recent these files are compared to my litterate config, I know if Emacs
missed tangling its configuration before launching, so if any of my ~si~, ~sl~,
~uc~, or ~ui~ files are older than my ~emacs.org~, then I’ll tangle the latter;
and since my user config is growing longer and longer, I want Emacs to be able
to parse it fast next time it boots, so let’s compile my exported ~.el~ files!

All that’s left to do in the Spacemacs functions is to call ~load~ on ~si~,
~sl~, ~uc~, and ~ui~. Be aware this sub-chapter won’t be tangled, so it might
not be up to date with the [[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles/src/branch/master/.spacemacs][actual dotspacemacs file]]. Please check it just in
case something changed and I forgot to update this part of ~emacs.org~.
** Emacs with pdumper
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Emacs_with_pdumper-f24ab30b
: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 t)
#+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=~/.config/emacs/.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
(format "spacemacs-%s.pdmp" emacs-version))
#+END_SRC
** Package managment and updates
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Package_managment_and_updates-79363da3
: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: Init-Package_managment_and_updates-Elpa_repository-c07fb1c4
: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: Init-Package_managment_and_updates-Spacelpa_repository-a431b288
: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: Init-Editing_style-56d58a4b
: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

#+END_SRC
If non-nil, the paste transient-state is enabled. While enabled, after you paste
something, pressing ~C-j~ and ~C-k~ several times cycles through the elements in
the ~kill-ring~. Default ~nil~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
** Spacemacs home configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Spacemacs_home_configuration-8375cdcc
: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
If non-nil show the version string in the Spacemacs buffer. It will appear as
~(spacemacs version)@(emacs version)~. Default ~t~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-startup-buffer-show-version t)
#+END_SRC
** Default major modes
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Default_major_modes-37f4a891
: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 set it to use ~emacs-lisp-mode~ by default.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-scratch-mode 'emacs-lisp-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)

** Visual configuration

*** Themes
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Visual_configuration-Themes-315992bb
: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 '(nord doom-nord doom-vibrant spacemacs-dark

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. The ~:size~ can be specified as a non-negative integer
(pixel size), or a floating-point (point size). Point size is recommended,
because it’s device independent (add a ~.0~ to make an integer a floating
point). The default size is ~10.0~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-default-font '("Cascadia Code"
:size 9.0))
#+END_SRC
I also added the following code in order to define a fallback font for emojis,
defined only on their unicode range:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1f600 . #x1f64f) "NotoEmoji Nerd Font")
#+END_SRC
*** Other on-screen elements
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Visual_configuration-Other_on-screen_elements-7d334e09
: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 1)
#+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 'right-then-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 t)
#+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

#+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: Init-Visual_configuration-Appearance_of_Emacs_frames-59700bb7

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 85)
#+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 "Emacs: %b (%t) %U@%S")

#+END_SRC
** Spacemacs leader keys and shortcuts
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Spacemacs_leader_keys_and_shortcuts-ebf21abe

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
~<leader> m~. Set it to ~nil~ to disable it. Its default value is ~,~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-major-mode-leader-key ",")
#+END_SRC
In ~emacs-state~ and ~insert-state~, the same major mode leader key can be
accessible from another shortcut, which by default is ~C-M-m~ in terminal mode,
or ~M-return~ in GUI mode.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-major-mode-emacs-leader-key
(if window-system "<M-return>" "C-M-m"))
#+END_SRC
These variables control whether separate commands are bound in the GUI to the
key pairs ~C-i~ and ~TAB~, and ~C-m~ and ~RET~. 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

#+END_SRC
** Layouts
:PROPERTIES:

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)

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

** Files-related settings
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-Files-related_settings-67fba383

The below value sets the size in MB above which Spacemacs will prompt to open
the file literally in order to avoid preformance issues. Opening a file
literally means that no major or minor mode is active. The default value is ~1~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-large-file-size 5)
#+END_SRC
This variable sets the location where to auto-save files. Possible values are:
- ~original~ :: auto-saves files in-place
- ~cache~ :: auto-saves files in another file stored in the cache directory
- ~nil~ :: disables auto-saving.
The default value is ~cache~.

#+END_SRC
You can also set a custom emacs server socket location. If the value is ~nil~,
Emacs will use whatever the Emacs default is, otherwise a directory path like

Just like most shells, it is possible to declare in Eshell aliases. First, I
would like to be able to use ~open~ to open files in Emacs:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defalias 'open 'find-file)
#+END_SRC
I also have ~openo~ which allows me to perform the same action, but in another
window:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defalias 'openo 'find-file-other-window)
#+END_SRC
The function ~yes-or-no-p~ is also aliased to ~y-or-n-p~ so I only have to
answer by ~y~ or ~n~ instead of typing ~yes~ or ~no~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+END_SRC
For some ease of use, I’ll also declare ~list-buffers~ as an alias of ~ibuffer~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
#+END_SRC
~mkcd~ is a function that allows me to create a directory and ~cd~ into it at
the same time.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun eshell/mkcd ($directory)
(eshell/mkdir "-p" $directory)
(cd $directory))
#+end_src
**** Custom functions
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Eshell-Custom_functions-79d98245
:END:
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:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(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))
#+END_SRC
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.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun eshell-new()
"Open a new instance of eshell."
(interactive)
(eshell 'N))
#+END_SRC
***** Redirect text editors to Emacs

:END:
I still have some stupid muscle memory telling me to open ~emacs~ in the
terminal, which is stupid with Eshell since I’m already inside Emacs. So, let’s
open each file passed to the ~emacs~ command and bury the eshell buffer (we’ll
get back to it later).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun eshell/emacs (&rest $files)
"Open a file in a new buffer. Old habits die hard"

#+END_SRC
**** Environment variables
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Eshell-Environment_variables-8dac73e0
:END:
Some environment variables need to be correctly set so Eshell can correctly
work. The first environment variable to be set is the ~PATH~, as I have a couple
of directories where executables are located. Let’s add them to our path.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setenv "PATH"
(concat
(getenv "HOME") "/.pub-cache/bin"
":" (getenv "HOME") "/.local/bin"
":" (getenv "HOME") "/go/bin"
":" (getenv "HOME") "/.cargo/bin"
":" (getenv "HOME") "/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin"
":" (getenv "PATH")))
#+END_SRC
I would also like to set two environment variables related to Dart development:
the ~DART_SDK~ and ~ANDROID_HOME~ variables.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setenv "DART_SDK" "/opt/dart-sdk/bin")
(setenv "ANDROID_HOME" (concat (getenv "HOME") "/Android/Sdk/"))
#+END_SRC
Finally, I’d like to add a custom directory to the ~PKG_CONFIG_PATH~:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setenv "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" (concat
"/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/" ":"
(getenv "PKG_CONFIG_PATH")))
#+END_SRC
The ~EDITOR~ variable also needs to be set for git commands, especially the
~yadm~ commands.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setenv "EDITOR" "emacsclient -c")
#+END_SRC
**** Eshell banner
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Emacs-builtins-Eshell-Eshell-banner-12d63d67
:END:
The code creating the Eshell banner is a bit lengthy and requires some
additional explanations that would make the following chapter [[#User_Configuration-Eshell-Eshell_theme-a06715a9][Eshell theme]] too
long. So, here it is!
The banner for Eshell will collect some system information and display them
gracefully. These pieces of information are:
- The GNU/Linux distribution running (I do not use any other OS on my computer)
- The kernel name and its version
- The machine’s hostname
- Its uptime
- Its RAM and Swap usage
- How full are its mountpoints
Some of these information can be grabbed directly from Emacs built-in functions,
but some others need to be retrieved manually. Let’s first get into it with the
mounted partitions for which we’ll define a structure:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(cl-defstruct phundrak/mounted-partitions
"Object representing a mounted partition found in the system"
path size used percent)
#+END_SRC
We’ll also define a variable setting the maximum length of a partition path
before it gets abbreviated:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defvar phundrak//eshell-banner--max-length-part 13
"Maximum length of a partition path")
#+END_SRC
Now, we can get our partitions. For this, we’ll make a call to the shell command
~df -lH~ and we’ll keep only the partitions mounted on a device stored in
~/dev~, for instance on ~/dev/sda~. And as mentioned above, if the mount path of
the partition exceeds the length specified by
~phundrak//eshell-banner--max-length-part~, it will get abbreviated by
[[#User-Configuration-Custom-functions-macros-and-variables-phundrak-abbr-path-559b46e3][~phundrak/abbr-path~]].
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak/get-mounted-partitions ()
(let ((partitions (s-split "\n"
(shell-command-to-string "df -lH")
t)))
(-keep (lambda (partition)
(let* ((partition (s-split " " partition t))
(filesystem (nth 0 partition))
(size (nth 1 partition))
(used (nth 2 partition))
(percent (nth 4 partition))
(mount (nth 5 partition)))
(when (s-prefix? "/dev" filesystem)
(make-phundrak/mounted-partitions
:path (if (> phundrak//eshell-banner--max-length-part (length mount))
mount
(phundrak/abbr-path mount t))
:size size
:used used
:percent (string-to-number (s-chop-suffix "%" percent))))))
partitions)))
#+END_SRC
We’ll need some padding for the name of the information displayed on the left
hand side of the banner. The maximum length without any partitions is eight
characters due to the text ~Hostname~, so if any partition path is longer than
this, the left padding will increase.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak//eshell-banner--get-left-pad (initial-pad partitions)
(if partitions
(let ((part-length (length (phundrak/mounted-partitions-path (car partitions)))))
(phundrak//eshell-banner--get-left-pad (if (> part-length initial-pad)
part-length
initial-pad)
(cdr partitions)))
initial-pad))
#+END_SRC
Now, Let’s set three variables that will be used in the function following this
declaration. They will be used to determine in which color a percentage should
be displayed. I’ll consider any percentage below 60% to be acceptable and
therefore displayed in green. However, starting from this threshold, I want the
user to be noticed of the usage of whatever percentage shown that it has gone up
and it should be watched and displayed in yellow. Above 75%, the user should
consider this a warning, and the percentage will be displayed in orange. Above
90%, it is considered critical and the percentage will be displayed in red.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defvar phundrak//eshell-banner--critical-percentage 90)
(defvar phundrak//eshell-banner--warning-percentage 75)
(defvar phundrak//eshell-banner--notice-percentage 60)
(defun phundrak//eshell-banner--color-percentage (percentage)
(cond
((> percentage phundrak//eshell-banner--critical-percentage)
(with-face (format "%2d" percentage) :foreground phundrak/nord11))
((> percentage phundrak//eshell-banner--warning-percentage)
(with-face (format "%2d" percentage) :foreground phundrak/nord12))
((> percentage phundrak//eshell-banner--notice-percentage)
(with-face (format "%2d" percentage) :foreground phundrak/nord13))
(t
(with-face (format "%2d" percentage) :foreground phundrak/nord14))))
#+END_SRC
This function will be used when displaying progress bars. These will be used for
displaying the Ram, Swap and partitions usage of the system, displaying the used
part in red and the free part in green. For this, we just need to know the size
of the progress bar we wish to use as well as how full it should be. Note that
the percentage should be between 0 and 100.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak//eshell-banner--progress-bar (length percentage)
(let* ((length-green (if (= 0 percentage)
0
(/ (* length percentage) 100)))
(length-red (- length length-green)))
(concat (with-face "[" :weight 'bold)
(with-face (s-repeat length-green "=")
:weight 'bold :foreground phundrak/nord14)
(with-face (s-repeat length-red "=")
:weight 'bold :foreground phundrak/nord11)
(with-face "]" :weight 'bold))))
#+END_SRC
This function will be used in two distinct functions: ~phundrak/eshell-banner~
which we will see later, and ~phundrak//eshell-banner--display-memory~ which we
will see now. This function displays information for the two types of memory we
have, RAM and Swap memory. Here is the definition of this function:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak//eshell-banner--display-memory (type used total text-padding ramp-length)
(let ((percentage (if (= used 0)
0
(/ (* 100 used) total))))
(concat (s-pad-right text-padding "." type)
": "
(phundrak//eshell-banner--progress-bar ramp-length
percentage)
(format " %6s / %-5s ("
(file-size-human-readable used)
(file-size-human-readable total))
(phundrak//eshell-banner--color-percentage
percentage)
"%)\n")))
#+END_SRC
We now need a function for displaying partitions. As you can see, it will be
quite similar to the above one:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak//eshell-banner--display-partition (part left-pad ramp-length)
(concat (s-pad-right left-pad "."
(with-face (phundrak/mounted-partitions-path part)
:weight 'bold))
": "
(phundrak//eshell-banner--progress-bar ramp-length
(phundrak/mounted-partitions-percent part))
(format " %6s / %-5s (%s%%)"
(phundrak/mounted-partitions-used part)
(phundrak/mounted-partitions-size part)
(phundrak//eshell-banner--color-percentage (phundrak/mounted-partitions-percent part)))))
#+END_SRC
And we can now build our banner! Here is our function that does exactly that:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun phundrak/eshell-banner ()
(let* ((partitions (phundrak/get-mounted-partitions))
(os (replace-regexp-in-string
".*\"\\(.+\\)\""
"\\1"
(car (-filter (lambda (line)
(s-contains? "PRETTY_NAME" line))
(s-lines (phundrak/file-to-string "/etc/os-release"))))))
(memory (-map (lambda (line)
(s-split " " line t))
(s-split "\n"
(shell-command-to-string "free -b | tail -2")
t)))
(ram (nth 0 memory))
(swap (nth 1 memory))
(ramp-length 41)
(left-pad (phundrak//eshell-banner--get-left-pad phundrak//eshell-banner--max-length-part partitions))
(right-pad 8)
(left-column-width 27))
(concat (format "%s\n" (s-repeat 79 "="))
;; OS and Kernel
(format "%s: %s%s: %s\n"
(s-pad-right left-pad "." "OS")
(s-pad-right left-column-width
" "
(with-face (s-trim os)
:weight 'bold))
(s-pad-right right-pad "." "Kernel")
(with-face (concat "Linux " operating-system-release)
:weight 'bold))
;; Hostname and Uptime
(format "%s: %s%s: %s\n"
(s-pad-right left-pad "." "Hostname")
(s-pad-right left-column-width
" "
(with-face (system-name) :weight 'bold))
(s-pad-right right-pad "." "Uptime")
(with-face (s-chop-prefix "up "
(s-trim (shell-command-to-string "uptime -p")))
:weight 'bold))
;; RAM ramp
(phundrak//eshell-banner--display-memory "Ram"
(string-to-number (nth 2 ram))
(string-to-number (nth 1 ram))
left-pad
ramp-length)
;; SWAP ramp
(phundrak//eshell-banner--display-memory "Swap"
(string-to-number (nth 2 swap))
(string-to-number (nth 1 swap))
left-pad
ramp-length)
;; Partitions
(mapconcat (lambda (part)
(phundrak//eshell-banner--display-partition part left-pad ramp-length))
partitions
"\n")
(format "\n%s\n" (s-repeat 79 "=")))))
#+END_SRC
We now only have to set the result of this function as our Eshell banner. Since
a simple ~setq~ would only run ~phundrak/eshell-banner~ once when Emacs starts,
we’ll actually make Emacs set the value of ~eshell-banner-message~ each time it
is required by Eshell with a hook:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'eshell-banner-load-hook
(lambda ()
(setq eshell-banner-message (phundrak/eshell-banner))))
#+END_SRC

As with most shells, again, it is possible to customize the appearance of the
Eshell prompt. As you can see, my prompt has some Nord colors, a shortened path,
a git prompt, and an indicator of whether the previous command succeeded or
failed. Note however that the abbreviation of the current path depends on the
value of ~phundrak/prompt--abbreviate~, if it is ~t~ it is abbreviated;
otherwise, it is kept in full. It can be toggled with a keyboard shortcut, see
[[#User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Toggle-d53c27ef][Keybindings: Toggle]].

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq eshell-prompt-regexp "^[^\n]*λ  "
eshell-prompt-function 'phundrak/eshell-prompt)
#+END_SRC
I also don't want the banner to be displayed, I know I entered the Elisp shell,
no need to remind me. Maybe I’ll do something with it one day.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

One of the amazing features of org-mode is its literary programming capacities
by running code blocks from within Org-mode itself. But for that, only a couple
of languages are supported directly by Org-mode itself, and they need to be
activated. Here are the languages I activated in my Org-mode configuration:

Scheme requires a default implementation for geiser:

By the way, I wish to see source code behave the same way in the source blocks
as in their own major mode. Let’s tell Emacs so:
#+NAME: org-src-tab-acts-natively
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
#+END_SRC
Lastly, I know this can be a terrible idea, but I want Emacs to just evaluate
Org code blocks without asking me. Of course, this could represent some big
security issue if not careful enough, but I generaly just open my own org files.

You can then see the modified faces for org-mode [[#User-Configuration-Visual-configuration-Better-faces-Org-mode-07754177][here]].
Some other tweaks will make Org-mode more beautiful. This includes a new folding

LSP can work in source blocks, but some work is needed (shamelessly stolen [[https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#lsp-support-src][from

Here is one behavior that I really want to see modified: the ability to use
~M-RET~ without slicing the text the marker is on.

Since Org 9.3, Org no longer attempts to restore the window configuration in the
frame to which the user returns after editing a source block with
~org-edit-src-code~. This means with the original value of
~org-src-window-setup~ (~reorganize-frame~), the current frame will be split in
two between the original org window and the source window, and once we quit the
source window only the org window will remain. This is not a desired behavior
for me, so I chose to set this variable to ~split-window-right~ in order to keep
my windows organization and have a similar behavior to the old one.
#+NAME: org-src-window-setup
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-src-window-setup 'split-window-below)
#+END_SRC
However, it is not rare that I want to change that for an horizontal split,
which can be achieved with the value ~split-window-below~. Thus, I have made
this function that allows me to switch between the (default) vertical split and
the horizontal split.
#+NAME: org-src-window-toggle
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(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

`split-window-right'"

When creating a link to an Org flie, I want to create an ID only if the link is

The tag ~:noexport:~ is fine and all, but it doesn’t allow for hidden org
structures, that is headers that are visible in the org buffer but once the file
is exported to another format the header disappears but its content stays.
~ox-extra~ has such a feature through ~ignore-headlines~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'ox-extra)
(ox-extras-activate '(ignore-headlines))
#+END_SRC
This gives us access to the ~:ignore:~ tag which allows the behavior above
mentioned. To give you an idea, the org buffer

With Spacemacs, an Org capture can be invoked with the shortcut ~SPC a o c~. It
will then ask which template I wish to use. In the table below are described the
shortcuts that are available after ~SPC a o c~ is invoked. The /name/ will be
the one displayed in Org capture’s interface, the /title/ is the headline where
to save the capture (if it does not differ from the capture’s name, the cell
will be blank). The /insertion mode/ tells Emacs how to add the capture to the
/file/, using which /template/. A line with no insertion mode, file, or template
is just a category. All of the following insert entries to their org files, that
is a new org node with a headline and some content.

You may notice a capture entry for my journal, and this is due to the fact I do
not use ~org-journal~ anymore: it was too overpowered for me, and I prefer to
keep it simple with a single file. And as you can see, and unlike a lot of other
Emacs configurations, the content of the template is not set in the variable,
but in external files which can be modified freely as actual Org buffers instead
of trying to get a proper one with loads of ~\n~ characters and such. All these
templates are declared below.
In the next sub-sections will be described my org capture templates. These are
not tangled into my Emacs configuration files, but into separate ~.orgcaptmpl~
files stored into =~/org/capture/=.
***** Emails

I use it in case my computer is not yet connected to the internet and I need to
already write the email so I can send it later. All I will need to to afterwards
will be to copy and paste my capture in a new message buffer and send it once I
am back online. This is exported to =~/org/capture/email.orgcaptmpl=.
***** Journal
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Org-mode-Org_capture-Journal-9916f9bf

This template is quite simple: it creates a new entry with the current timestamp
as its title, a brief title of my choosing, and then I can write whatever I wish
to write. This is exported to =~/org/capture/journal.orgcaptmpl=.

***** Notes
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Org-mode-Org_capture-Notes-4b4c10aa

This template is used for taking note about various subjects that can go from
conlanging to development. I wrote it so I can know from where this capture was
made and when, and it even supports text that was highlighted in Emacs that will
be inserted in a quote block. This is exported to
=~/org/capture/notes.orgcaptmpl=.

This capture is used when received through org-protocol, with the Org-protocol
Extension for Firefox. It allows me to save in a quote block what I’ve
highlighted, as well as the link of the webpage on which my saved content was
highlighted. This file is exported to =~/org/capture/protocol.orgcaptmpl=.

This is the default template for resources, which generally are located on the
Internet. By default, I give them the lowest priority, because although this is
something for me to remember later, it is not by default important. You can see
in the properties I record when the capture happened, and what the link is. The
title of the capture is a summary of what this is, while the body of the capture
is a more detailed explanation of what I capture, why, and how it could be
useful to me.

Finally, this is the function that gets called on file saves. If the function
detects ~auto-id:t~ among the org options in the ~#+OPTIONS:~ header, then the
above function is called.

**** File export
:PROPERTIES:

:END:
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:
#+NAME: org-use-sub-superscripts

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:
#+NAME: org-latex-compiler
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
I also want to get by default ~minted~ for LaTeX listings so I can have syntax
highlights:
#+NAME: org-latex-listings
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
#+END_SRC
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. I also added two default packages,
~minted~ and ~xeCJK~ for syntax highlighting and Japanese (and additionally
Chinese and Korean) support.
#+NAME: org-latex-default-packages

When it comes to the export itself, the latex file needs to be processed several

also run bibtex!

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:
#+NAME: org-latex-class-conlang
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
'("conlang"
"\\documentclass{book}"

#+END_SRC
And here is the declaration of the ~beamer~ class:
#+NAME: org-latex-class-beamer
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
`("beamer"

***** Configuration website
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Org-mode-Org_projects-Configuration_website-79bd0468

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.
#+NAME: org-proj-config-setup

#+END_SRC
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.

*** Default modes
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Editing_and_modes-Default_modes-50d4e086
:END:
Some buffers sometimes won’t have a default mode at all, such as the ~*scratch*~
buffer. In any vanilla configuration, they will then default to ~text-mode~. I
personally prefer ~org-mode~ to be my default mode, so let’s set it so!
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq edit-server-default-major-mode 'org-mode)
#+END_SRC
*** Evil
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Editing_and_modes-Evil-3cedaaee

As a user of Evil, I’m sometimes pissed when I accidentally press ~C-u~ and it
gets me to the top of the document. So, let’s disable it:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq evil-want-C-u-scroll nil)
#+END_SRC
*** File extensions
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-File_extensions-f76fe752
:END:
Sometimes, Emacs doesn’t recognize or misrecognizes some extensions, resulting
in a wrong mode set for said file. Let’s fix that by associating the extension
with the desired mode:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dolist (e '(("xml" . web-mode)
("xinp" . web-mode)
("aiml" . web-mode)
("C" . c++-mode)

("vs" . glsl-mode)
("fs" . glsl-mode)))
(push (cons (concat "\\."
(car e)
"\\'") (cdr e))
auto-mode-alist))
#+END_SRC
We also have a couple of extensions which should all be in ~conf-unix-mode~,
let’s indicate that to Emacs:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dolist (e '("service" "timer" "target" "mount" "automount"
"slice" "socket" "path" "netdev" "network"
"link"))
(push (cons (concat "\\." e "\\'") 'conf-unix-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
#+END_SRC
*** Hooks
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Miscellaneous-Hooks-86da2da0
:END:
I also have some hooks I use for enabling some major and minor modes. The first
one here allows the execution of the deletion of trailing space each time I save
a file.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)
#+END_SRC
I also want to always be in ~visual-line-mode~ so Emacs soft-wraps lines that
are too long for the buffer they are displayed in. This will also be enabled for
Elfeed.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
(add-hook 'elfeed-read-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
#+END_SRC
I also want for some non-programming modes to enable a hard-limit in terms of
how many characters can fit on one line. The modes that benefit are
~message-mode~, ~org-mode~, ~text-mode~ and ~markdown-mode~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(mapc (lambda (x)
(add-hook x 'visual-line-mode))
'(message-mode-hook

#+END_SRC
*** Twittering mode
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Miscellaneous-Twittering_mode-b97d9327

For ~twittering-mode~, a Twitter major mode for Emacs, I want to encrypt my data
using a master password, which I do thanks to this option:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

*** Wrapping regions
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Editing_and_modes-Wrapping_regions-2250281e
:END:
I really like the ~M-(~ keybinding for wrapping a selected region between
parenthesis. However, parenthesis are not everything (even in Lisp dialects),
and other wrappers could be nice. And they are! Here is how they are declared:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "M-[") 'insert-pair)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-{") 'insert-pair)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<") 'insert-pair)

(global-set-key (kbd "M-`") 'insert-pair)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-\"") 'insert-pair)
#+END_SRC
For the record, this is from [[http://www.howardism.org/][Howard Abram]]’s [[https://github.com/howardabrams/dot-files][dotfiles]].
** Keybindings
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-aef3f7a7
:END:
As you will see, I defined a LOT of custom keybindings. All of them are
Spacemacs keybindings, defined in a way they can be used seamlessly with Evil.
They almost all begin with ~o~, which is a prefix reserved for user-defined
keybindings so they won’t conflict with any package. Let’s declare it like so.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "o" "custom")
#+END_SRC
Now, all keybindings that will be defined can be invoked in Normal-mode with the
~SPC~ key followed by the sequence assigned to each keybinding.
Before some more specialized categories, I have two commands which don’t fit
into any other category that I sometime use. The first one is a fix for the Bépo
keybindings which left out a keybind: ~winum-select-window-by-number~ is still
bound to ~SPC ²~, which is not a key that is available on the bépo layout
(instead, we use the dead key ~^~ followed by ~2~, or any digits). So instead,
let’s use the key that is physically in the same place: ~$~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "$" "select window by number")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "$" 'winum-select-window-by-number)
#+END_SRC
The following, I use it rarely, it can launch an external command from Emacs to
launch, for instance, my web browser or any other software not related to Emacs.
It offers a similar interface to [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dmenu][dmenu]] through helm.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "or" "external command")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "or" 'helm-run-external-command)
#+END_SRC
However this one I use often, generally in org or text buffers.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "os" 'sort-lines)
#+END_SRC
*** Applications
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Applications-af8730b1
:END:
As this is a new category, let’s declare its prefix:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oa" "applications")
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s also declare the keybindings in this category. ~oac~ will invoke
Emacs’ calculator, while ~oac~ invokes the calendar, ~oae~ invokes the Eww web
browser, ~oaw~ invokes ~woman~ (actually ~helm-man-woman~), and ~oaW~ invokes
the weather forecast. Lastly, the apostrophe in ~oa'~ will invoke Eshell
directly, without any popup window as with ~,'~ while ~oan~ will open a new
eshell buffer if another one already exists.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"oa'" 'eshell
"oac" 'calc
"oaC" 'calendar
"oae" 'eww
"oan" 'eshell-new
"oaw" 'helm-man-woman
"oaW" 'wttrin)
#+END_SRC
**** Org tree slide
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Keybindings-Applications-Org_tree_slide-29545c5e
:END:
Finally, here we have the keybindings for ~org-tree-slide~, a presentation mode
with orgmode. Since I want the keys to be directly accessible without any prefix
from Spacemacs, I’ll have to declare them the vanilla way. First we have
keybindings that will launch the presentation:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "<f8>") 'org-tree-slide-mode)
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "s-<f8>") 'org-tree-slide-skip-done-toggle)
#+END_SRC
Next, we have some additional keybindings that will only be active when in
~org-tree-slide-mode~. The first one will allow us to exit this mode, while the
second one will toggle the display of headers marked as ~DONE~. Next, we have
~F9~ and ~F10~ which are bound to movement in the slide, while ~F11~ changes the
way the content is displayed. We also set ~org-tree-slide-skip-outline-level~ to
set the maximum depth we will display as an individual heading during the
presentation.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (require 'org-tree-slide nil t)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") 'org-tree-slide-mode)
(global-set-key (kbd "S-<f8>") 'org-tree-slide-skip-done-toggle)
(define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<f9>")
'org-tree-slide-move-previous-tree)
(define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<f10>")
'org-tree-slide-move-next-tree)
(define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<f11>")
'org-tree-slide-content)
(setq org-tree-slide-skip-outline-level 4)
(org-tree-slide-narrowing-control-profile)
(setq org-tree-slide-skip-done nil))
#+END_SRC
*** Comments
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Comments-508db33d
:END:
Some keybindings are also related to comment editing, in particular using
outorg. Let’s first declare the dedicated prefix:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oc" "comments")
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s declare the following keybindings:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"occ" 'outorg-copy-edits-and-exit
"oce" 'outorg-edit-as-org
"oco" 'outline-minor-mode)
#+END_SRC
~oco~ enables the outline minor mode, which then allows for the edition of
comments in org buffers with ~oce~ and saving them to the original source file
with ~occ~.
*** Dired
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Keybindings-Dired-2a45af8d
:END:
A couple of keybindings will be added to Dired. The first one is the opening
parenthesis which will enable or disable ~dired-hide-details-mode~. On the other
hand, a closing parenthesis will show git information in the current Dired
buffer.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "(") 'dired-hide-details-mode)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd ")") 'dired-git-info-mode)
#+END_SRC
Something I use from time to time is ~S-F1~ for opening dired in my ~$HOME~
directory. For that, I simply did the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "<s-f1>") (lambda () (interactive) (dired "~/")))
#+END_SRC
A couple of other useful utilities, sach as opening all marked files, sorting
files, opening them externally and renaming them, are also bound to a simple key
press:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "f") 'phundrak/open-marked-files)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "F") 'xah/open-in-external-app)
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "s") 'xah/dired-sort)
#+END_SRC
*** Files
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Files-206c2126
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "of" "open org file")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "of" 'phundrak/find-org-files)
#+END_SRC
I also have a shortcut for ~helm-locate~ in case I need to find a file that is
not in these directories. One advantage of this over ~helm-find~ is that it
doesn’t matter from where I call it, it will find any file on my system that
matches the query, whereas ~helm-find~ will only search in the current directory
and its subdirectories. This time, the declaration is much simpler:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oF" "locate file")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "oF" 'helm-locate)

And that’s it! This should list all my org files under these directories and
give me fuzzy finding for these files. I just need to partially type the name of
the file I want to open and it should open without any issue.
*** Games
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Keybindings-Games-c9e6ac80
:END:
Just to make it easier to launch it, I’ll declare a shortcut for launching
tetris (which is built into Emacs).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oat" "tetris")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "oat" 'tetris)
#+END_SRC
Apparently, no evil keybindings are set for Tetris. Let’s declare them (adapted
to the bépo layout):
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'tetris)
(define-key tetris-mode-map (kbd "c") 'tetris-move-left)
(define-key tetris-mode-map (kbd "t") 'tetris-move-down)

*** Multiple cursors
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Multiple_cursors-83db7c9c
:END:
I don’t really like Spacemacs’ layer for MultipleCursors, so I prefer to simply
install the package and create shortcuts for it myself. Let’s first declare
category:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "om" "multiple-cursors")
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s declare the shortcuts related to multiple-cursors:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"ome" 'mc/edit-lines
"omn" 'mc/mark-next-like-this
"omp" 'mc/mark-previous-like-this
"oma" 'mc/mark-all-like-this)
#+END_SRC
*** Org-mode
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Org-mode-a8938199
:END:
Now, onto some shortcuts related to org-mode. Let’s first declare the category:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "mo" "custom" "User-defined keybindings")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "mot" "toggle" "Toggle org elements")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moT" "tables")
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode 'org-mode "ob" 'phundrak/blog-publish)
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "ob" "publish blog")
#+END_SRC
Now, I have a couple of shortcuts I use regularly:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode 'org-mode
"os" 'org-insert-structure-template
"ots" 'phundrak/toggle-org-src-window-split
"ott" 'org-sidebar-tree)
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moS" "insert template")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "mots" "toggle src split")
#+END_SRC
~os~ allows me to insert an org structure template defined in
~org-structure-template-alist~ (see [[#User_Configuration-Org-mode-Org_variables-Org_behavior-0319db38][Org behavior]]), while ~ott~ displays the
outline of the current org file.
~oT~ is the prefix for tree-related operations:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moT" "tables")
#+END_SRC
These shortcuts allow to manipulate the width of the column the cursor is
currently in, by either shrinking it, expanding it, or toggling its state
between shrunk or expanded. A prefix for all of these commands has been also
added in order to make the purpose of the shortcuts clearer.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode 'org-mode
"oTt" 'org-table-toggle-column-width
"oTe" 'org-table-expand
"oTs" 'org-table-shrink)
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moTt" "toggle width")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moTe" "expand")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "moTs" "shrink")
#+END_SRC
Finaly, I set the following shortcut in order to easily remove ~RESULTS~ blocks
from org source code blocks:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode 'org-mode
"or" 'org-babel-remove-result-one-or-many)
(spacemacs/declare-prefix-for-mode 'org-mode "mor" "remove org result")
#+END_SRC
*** Toggle
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Toggle-d53c27ef
:END:
This category allows to toggle some modes and options.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "ot" "toggle")
#+END_SRC
As you can see, I have here four shortcuts for toggling various elements in
Emacs:
- ~otb~ :: toggles ~fancy-battery-mode~. This comes in very handy when I am on a
laptop that is not pluged in or which is charging.
- ~otd~ :: toggles ~elcord-mode~. This mode is used to create an Emacs rich
integration in Discord.
- ~otf~ :: toggles the activation of FlyCheck, Emacs’ spell checker. It is by
default disabled, and I can turn it on with this shortcut only when needed.
- ~ots~ :: toggles ~prettify-symbols-mode~. This allows Emacs to replace some
symbols by some others, like for example by replacing ~lambda~ in Emacs Lisp
buffers with an actual λ.
- ~otS~ :: toggles whether or not Eshell should shorten the current path in its
prompt
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"otb" 'fancy-battery-mode
"otd" 'elcord-mode
"otf" 'flycheck-mode
"ots" 'prettify-symbols-mode
"otS" 'phundrak/prompt-toggle-abbreviation)
#+END_SRC
We also have some input methods-related shortcuts in a sub-category: ~oti~. The
first shortcuts below are used to either toggle between no input method or the
last one used (~otit~), or choose an input method among the various available
ones from Emacs (~otis~).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oti" "input methods")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"otit" 'toggle-input-method
"otis" 'set-input-method)
#+END_SRC
The shortcuts below though allow me to directly switch to one of these three
known input methods I sometimes or often use, namely Japanese, Tibetan and IPA
(by typing in X-SAMPA).
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "otij" "Japanese")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "otix" "IPA (X-SAMPA)")
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "otiT" "Tibetan")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys
"otij" (lambda () (interactive) (set-input-method 'japanese))
"otix" (lambda () (interactive) (set-input-method 'ipa-x-sampa))
"otiT" (lambda () (interactive) (set-input-method 'tibetan-wylie)))

** Mu4e
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Mu4e-f3df8e9e
:END:
Mu4e is a frontend for mu, an email analyzer which sits on top of a Maildir
which gets updated with the ~mbsync~ command from ~isync~. It has a lot of neat
features, but I guess my favorite ones are:
1. the search query feature
2. rendering an HTML email in the browser
*** Setup
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Mu4e-Setup-1d23809e
:END:
Due to mu sitting on top of a maildir, I need to tell mu4e where said maildir
is, and point it the trash, archive, and sent folders as well as the refresh
command and how frequently I want my emails to be refreshed.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-maildir "~/.mail"
mu4e-trash-folder "/Trash"
mu4e-refile-folder "/Archive"
mu4e-sent-folder "/Sent"
mu4e-drafts-folder "/Drafts"
mu4e-get-mail-command "mbsync -a"
mu4e-update-interval 60)
#+END_SRC
This source block is an example of the search queries in mu4e, and part of the
reason why I very much like mu4e: these bookmarks are actually defined by search
queries, but act as if they were just yet another type of custom inbox you get
with modern Email client (and often you don’t even get them). All these
bookmarks can be accessed through a shortcut on the main mu4e buffer, prefixed
by ~b~. So, for instance, my unread messages are accessed through ~bU~.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
On new email arrival, Emacs can send the system a notification which will be
handled as any other notification received by the system and will display the
number of unread emails to the user; in my case, notifications are handled by
AwesomeWM.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-enable-notifications t
mu4e-alert-email-notification-types '(count))

(add-hook 'mu4e-view-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode)
#+END_SRC
This is the setup I have for my SMTP mail server: I point Emacs’ SMTP services
to my private mail server on its SMTP port, which should be used with a STARTTLS
stream. And I tell Emacs this is the default way to send an email.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.phundrak.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
#+END_SRC
I wish my emails to be signed by default using PGP/MIME. ~mu4e~ uses ~message~
for composing new emails, so I simply need to add the function that will add the
signature to emails to the hook called when creating a new email.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'mu4e-compose-mode-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)
#+END_SRC
*** Visual Configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Mu4e-Visual-Configuration-34f56f7e
:END:
The following also allows me to automatically include my signature in my Emails,
to view images in my Emacs buffers and to show me the address of my contacts and
not just their names.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-compose-signature-auto-include t
mu4e-view-show-images t
mu4e-view-prefer-html t
mu4e-view-show-addresses t)
#+END_SRC
Now this hook is added so I can get a maximal width for the text of my emails, I
really don’t like it when lines are kilometers long. I would like instead to
hook ~visual-line-mode~ and ~auto-fill-mode~, but for some reasons Emacs throws
an error when I add them, So I go with ~visual-fill-column-mode~ instead.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'mu4e-view-mode-hook 'visual-fill-column-mode)
#+END_SRC
Icons are nice and all, but my current font does not display some of the default
icons set by mu4e. Due to this, I will define back these icons to the original
characters defined by mu4e:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

mu4e-headers-flagged-mark '("F" . "F")
mu4e-headers-new-mark '("N" . "N")

#+END_SRC
*** Misc
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User-Configuration-Mu4e-Misc-9c7a4f5b
:END:
I am unsure yet if this has any effect on mu4e, but this variable should
discourage mu4e from reading rich text emails and instead open them as plain
text. However, I do not wish to discourage opening HTML emails since I can open
them in the browser.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/richtext"))
#+END_SRC
I am still unsure about this variable and if it has an effect on mu4e, but I
wish to set a default web viewer for my HTML emails: w3m. This is not as
effective as sending the email in the browser or rendering it as a PDF file, but
it can be effective enough for some emails.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
#+END_SRC
** Miscellaneous
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Miscellaneous-d230bc2f

I have a lot of variables that need to be set but don’t fall in any other
category, so I’ll collect them here.
I have this regexp for detecting paragraphs.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
And this variable for Elcord so the main icon displayed in Discord is the icon
representing the current major-mode. I also don’t want to display the small
icon, so let’s get rid of that.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq elcord-use-major-mode-as-main-icon t

#+END_SRC
*** Pinentry
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Miscellaneous-Pinentry-95004d5a

Pinentry should use the ~loopback~ mode when communicating with GnuPG. Let’s set
it so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
*** Wttr.in
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Miscellaneous-Wttr.in_cities-dd24f8c5

Thanks to the wttrin package, I can get the weather forecast in Emacs for a
couple of cities. I just need to specify them to Emacs like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq wttrin-default-cities '("Aubervilliers" "Paris" "Lyon" "Nonières"
"Saint Agrève"))
#+END_SRC
However, the package is currently broken (it was last updated in 2017): wttr.in
now returns by default an HTML page instead of an ASCII result. In order to fix
it, a ~?A~ must be added at the end of the request in order to get a nice
output. Also, let’s use the HTTPS protocol while we’re at it.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query)

#+END_SRC
** Nov-mode
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Nov-mode-6f10765d

~nov-mode~ is the mode used in the Epub reader. Here I will write a little
function that I will call through a hook each time I’m opening a new EPUB file.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-nov-font-setup ()
(face-remap-add-relative 'variable-pitch :family "Charis SIL"
:size 16
:height 1.0))
#+END_SRC
Let’s bind this function to the ~nov-mode~ hook. By the way, we’ll also enable
the ~visual-line-mode~ here, just in case.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(mapc (lambda (mode)
(add-hook 'nov-mode-hook mode))
'('my-nov-font-setup 'visual-line-mode))
#+END_SRC
Let’s also set the maximum length of the lines in ~nov-mode~:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

:END:
When it comes to the LSP layer, there are some options which are not enabled by
default that I want to use, especially some modes I want to take advantage of.
This is why I enable first the ~lsp-treemacs-sync-mode~ so treemacs is LSP
aware:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(lsp-treemacs-sync-mode 1)
#+END_SRC
I also enable some layers related to ~dap~, the Debug Adapter Protocol, which
works really nicely with LSP. Let’s enable Dap’s modes:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dap-mode 1)
(dap-ui-mode 1)
(dap-tooltip-mode 1)
#+END_SRC
Finally, I also want the documentation tooltip to show up when the cursor is
above a documented piece of code or symbol. Let’s enable that too:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(tooltip-mode 1)
#+END_SRC
*** ASM configuration

For Dart, I mainly declared some custom shortcuts bound to ~dart-mode~ related

Here will be stored my configuration directly related to Emacs Lisp, including
some functions or default modes.
**** Enable ~eldoc-mode~ by default
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Emacs_Lisp-Enable_~eldoc-mode~_by_default-f131abde
:END:
By default, if some Elisp code is opened, I want to enable ~eldoc-mode~ so I can
easily get some documentation on the symbols in the source code. This is done
via the use of hooks.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
**** ~phundrak/write-to-buffer~
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Emacs_Lisp-~phundrak-write-to-buffer~-2f192dd3
:END:
I was very surprised when I discovered no such function exists in Elisp. This
function basically writes a string into a buffer, and optionally switches the
user to the buffer. Here is the code for that function:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :results silent
(defun write-to-buffer ($input-string $outputbuf &optional $switchbuf)
"Writes `$input-string' to the specified `output-buffer'. If
`switch-buffer' is non-nil, the active buffer will switch to the
output buffer; otherwise, it will take the user back to their
initial buffer. Works with `$input-string' as a string or a list
of strings."
(let ((oldbuf (current-buffer)))
(switch-to-buffer $outputbuf)
(cond ((char-or-string-p $input-string) (insert $input-string))
((listp $input-string) (dolist (elem $input-string)

#+END_SRC
*** Python

Emacs throws me an error about the python interpreter, let’s silence it:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq python-shell-completion-native-disabled-interpreters '("python"))
#+END_SRC
*** Rust
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Rust-ba633575
:END:
I need to point to racer where the source code of Rust is located so I can get
some documentation. This is installed with the ~rust-src~ component you can get
through ~rustup~. To install it, simply run
#+BEGIN_SRC shell :tangle no :exports code
$ rustup component add rust-src
#+END_SRC
Now, the source code for Rust should be included in your installation. I
personally prefer to develop with Rust stable, so let’s indicate to Emacs to
search for documentation in the stable sources:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq racer-rust-src-path
"~/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src")
#+END_SRC
Rust’s default ~cargo check~ command is already very good, however I also enjoy
getting some more hints while developping, and ~clippy~ does a very good job at
it. To get clippy, I need to run the following to install it:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
$ rustup compontent add clippy
#+END_SRC
And this will get it installed with all of my Rust toolchain, and it will be
updated with it. Now, let’s indicate LSP that I want to use that instead of
~check~:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq lsp-rust-analyzer-cargo-watch-command "clippy")
#+END_SRC
Finally, I wish to enable ~electric-pair-mode~ and ~indent-guide-mode~ for Rust
files, so let’s enable that through the use of a hook:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'rust-mode-hook

#+END_SRC
*** Scheme

#+END_SRC
** Projectile
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Projectile-06e580f0
:END:
Projectile is an awesome utility which helps managing projects within Emacs. It
will automatically detect version controlled directories, and will by default
assume this is a project I can be working on. However, there are some
directories that are version controlled that I do not want to see in my list of
projects, namely all the cached AUR packages from my AUR helper, ~paru~. They
are all stored in the same parent directory, so let’s ignore that. I will also
make Emacs ignore all ~node_modules~ directories it could encounter. And for
some reason, =~/.config/emacs= is always in my projects list (I now use
XDG-compliant directories), so let’s also ignore that.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

want anyone to be able to read such files on my computer if I leave it even for
a couple of minutes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Notice the ~(shell-command "gpgconf --kill gpg-agent")~ command there: it kills
~gpg-agent~ which will always respawn each time GPG2 is invoked. That way, I
know anyone trying to open a GPG file will have to insert my password when
trying to do so instead of just hoping I entered it not long ago and they won’t
have to.
But surely, if I only define this function and hope to call it each time I leav
my computer, surely at one point I will forget to execute it before leaving. I
can’t trust myself to always call it manually. Which is why I’ll ask Emacs
itself to call it after it detects a minute of idling. It may become from times
to times a bit of a pain, but at least I’m now sure I won’t ever have to worry
about someone reading my GPG files open in Emacs while I’m out for a quick
break.

** Snippets
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Snippets-67a32065
:HEADER-ARGS:snippet: :padline no :mkdirp yes
:END:
Yasnippet’s snippets tool is extremely powerful and allows me to write very
quickly code. For now, we have snippets for two modes. The files you’ll see
below are exported to ~$HOME/.config/emacs/private/snippets/~ and to their
respective mode directory. For instance, my ~caption~ snippet for org-mode will
be exported to ~$HOME/.config/emacs/private/snippets/org-mode/caption~.
Be aware that on top of these custom snippets, I also use the package
[[file:awesome.org::#Autostart-f2cf42fe][yasnippet-snippets]] which provide plenty of already made snippets.
*** Rust snippets
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Snippets-Rust_snippets-b106fad4
:END:
I have so far two snippets, the first one is actually just a convenience to make
it easier to type a ~println!~ macro than the default snippet.
#+BEGIN_SRC snippet :tangle ~/.config/emacs/private/snippets/rust-mode/println
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: println
# key: pln
# --
println!("${1:{}}", $2);
#+END_SRC
The second one is more interesting: it is used to create a ~new~ method for a
struct, and it will try to create a function that will assign each argument
passed to the method to members of the struct. It relies on the custom function
[[#Custom-functions-yas-rust-new-assignments-4ad16bde][I wrote here]].
#+BEGIN_SRC snippet :tangle ~/.config/emacs/private/snippets/rust-mode/new
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: new
# key: _new
# --
fn new(${1:args}) -> Self {
$0
Self {
${1:$(phundrak/yas-rust-new-assignments yas-text)}
}
}
#+END_SRC
*** Org headers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Snippets-org-mode_snippets-Org_headers-ed14fbac
:END:
The first two snippets are used to add HTML or LaTeX attributes to elements in
org-mode. The third also has a similar usage, inserting a ~#+CAPTION~ header
before an element, as well as the fourth which inserts a ~#+NAME~ header.
#+BEGIN_SRC snippet :tangle ~/.config/emacs/private/snippets/org-mode/attr_html
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: ATTR HTML
# key: <ah

#+END_SRC
Now, the following is a bit more complex: it is meant to be used as a new org
buffer is created. It will insert an org header for the title, which will
default to the buffer’s name capitalized minus the dashes or underscores
replaced with spaces, it will insert a default author and email based on the
user’s parameters, and the date at the moment of the creation of these headers.
The user can also add some tags if they wish to.
#+BEGIN_SRC snippet :tangle ~/.config/emacs/private/snippets/org-mode/header
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: header
# key: header
# --

*** Org blocks

Now, Let’s write some snippets for org blocks. The first one is for a comment
block, then two snippets for an unnamed and a named Elisp source block, and two
others for an unnamed and a named Python source block. There are also two block

** Tramp configuration

*** Docker
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Tramp_configuration-Docker-31573fdf
:END:
It is completely possible with Tramp to connect ot a docker container and modify
files inside of it. It is not supported natively, but we can add it quite
easily. Be aware, I am not the author of this code, you can find its original
source [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampAndDocker][here]]. First, let’s add the Docker protocol to Tramp:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(push
(cons
"docker"
'((tramp-login-program "docker")
(tramp-login-args (("exec" "-it") ("%h") ("/bin/bash")))
(tramp-remote-shell "/bin/sh")
(tramp-remote-shell-args ("-i") ("-c"))))
tramp-methods)
#+END_SRC
Now that the method has been added, let’s add some autocompletion for when we
want to connect to a Docker container:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defadvice tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions
(around dotemacs-completion-docker activate)
"(tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions \"\" \"/docker:\" returns
a list of active Docker container names, followed by colons."
(if (equal (ad-get-arg 1) "/docker:")
(let* ((dockernames-raw (shell-command-to-string "docker ps --format '{{.Names}}:'"))
(dockernames (cl-remove-if-not #'(lambda (dockerline)
(string-match ":$" dockerline))
(split-string dockernames-raw "\n"))))
(setq ad-return-value dockernames))
ad-do-it))
#+END_SRC
And that’s it! it is now possible to connect to a docker container with
something like ~/docker:conlangdict_server/~ as the path given in ~find-file~.
*** Yadm
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: User_Configuration-Yadm-4344fec3
:END:
~yadm~ is the utility I use for managing my dotfiles, and it is a wrapper In
order to manage my dotfiles, I use the following shortcut to launch Magit Status
for ~yadm~:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(spacemacs/declare-prefix "oy" "yadm status")
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys "oy" (lambda () (interactive) (magit-status "/yadm::")))
#+END_SRC
~yadm~ wraps around ~git~. Logically, it means Magit could theoretically manage
my yadm repo. And it is indeed possible, according to [[https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm/blob/master/yadm.md][this page]] using TRAMP. I
just need to add the following code snippet:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'tramp-methods
'("yadm"
(tramp-login-program "yadm")
(tramp-login-args (("enter")))
(tramp-login-env (("SHELL")

Sometimes, some visual properties just don’t fit right for me and I need to edit
them. This is the case for example for org-mode for which I want to have a mix
of fixed and variable pitches. Below you can see the code that does that for me,
