Introduction
STOP Read this first!
You just landed on my vanilla Emacs configuration. However, this URL was used until recently for my Spacemacs configuration. If you want my complete, working Emacs configuration, I recommend you to head over there. This document is still a work in progress!
After a couple of years using Spacemacs and a failed attempt at switching to DoomEmacs, I’m finally switching back to a vanilla configuration! Be aware though this document is still very much a work in progress document, lots of comments on existing configuration are missing, and lots of functionnalities are still not implemented. I’m still in the process of porting my Spacemacs configuration over here.

The early init file is the file loaded before anything else in Emacs. This is where I put some options in order to disable as quickly as possible some built-in features of Emacs before they can be even loaded, speeding Emacs up a bit.
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil
inhibit-startup-message t
frame-resize-pixelwise t ; fine resize
package-native-compile t) ; native compile packages
(scroll-bar-mode -1) ; disable scrollbar
(tool-bar-mode -1) ; disable toolbar
(tooltip-mode -1) ; disable tooltips
(set-fringe-mode 10) ; give some breathing room
(menu-bar-mode -1) ; disable menubarPersonal information
Emacs needs to know its master! For various reasons by the way, some
packages rely of these variables to know who it is talking to or
dealing with, such as mu4e which will guess who you are if you haven’t
set it up correctly.
(setq user-full-name "Lucien Cartier-Tilet"
user-real-login-name "Lucien Cartier-Tilet"
user-login-name "phundrak"
user-mail-address "lucien@phundrak.com")Stay clean, Emacs!
As nice as Emacs is, it isn’t very polite or clean by default: open a
file, and it will create backup files in the same directory. But then,
when you open your directory with your favorite file manager and see
almost all of your files duplicated with a ~ appended to the filename,
it looks really uncomfortable! This is why I prefer to tell Emacs to
keep its backup files to itself in a directory it only will acces.
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . ,(expand-file-name ".temp/backups/" user-emacs-directory))))
It also loves to litter its init.el with custom variables here and
there, but the thing is: I regenerate my init.el each time I tangle
this file! How can I keep Emacs from adding stuff that will be almost
immediately lost? Did someone say custom file?
(setq-default custom-file (expand-file-name ".custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
(when (file-exists-p custom-file) ; Don’t forget to load it, we still need it
(load custom-file))Finally, the scatch buffer always has some message at its beginning, I don’t want it!
(setq-default initial-scratch-message nil)Editing text in Emacs
I don’t like tabs. They rarely look good, and if I need it I can
almost always tell Emacs to use them through a .dir-locals.el file or
through the config file of my code formatter. So by default, let’s
disable them:
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))Just to go on a little tangeant here: I don’t exactly hate tabs, but I find them really annoying when your text editor knows only them. Sure, for indentation they work great and they allow different people getting different settings in their text editor depending on their preferred tastes —some may prefer 2 spaces tabs, some may prefer 4 spaces tabs, some deranged people prefer 8 spaces tabs, and some monsters prefer 3!
But the thing is, once you indented your code and then you need alignment, tabs don’t work anymore! Or they may on your text editor but not on your coworker’s! (He’s the one using 3 spaces tabs by the way).
So, is the answer to use spaces instead of tabs, and screw peoples’ preferences in terms of tabs width? No, I say the answer is more moderate than that, and it might frighten or anger some of you at first: use both spaces and tabs. Now, before you lynch me on the main avenue in front of everyone, let me tell you absolutely no one should ever be mixing spaces and tabs for indentation, that would be absolutely terrible and would bring the worst of both worlds. What’s the best of both worlds then?
Tabs for indentation
Spaces for alignment
I haven’t found a way to automate that in Emacs yet aside from formatters’ config file, and tabs look bat in EmacsLisp anyways, so I’ll stick with spaces by default and change it where needed.
I never want to keep trailing spaces in my files, which is why I’m doing this:
(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'whitespace-cleanup)Fonts
I don’t like the default font I usually have on my machines, I really don’t.
(defvar phundrak/default-font-size 90
"Default font size.") (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Cascadia Code" :height phundrak/default-font-size)Nice macros from Doom-Emacs
Doom-Emacs has some really nice macros that can come in really handy,
but since I prefer to rely on my own configuration, I’ll instead just
copy their code here. First we get the after! macro:
(defmacro after! (package &rest body)
"Evaluate BODY after PACKAGE have loaded.
PACKAGE is a symbol or list of them. These are package names, not modes,
functions or variables. It can be:
- An unquoted package symbol (the name of a package)
(after! helm BODY...)
- An unquoted list of package symbols (i.e. BODY is evaluated once both magit
and git-gutter have loaded)
(after! (magit git-gutter) BODY...)
- An unquoted, nested list of compound package lists, using any combination of
:or/:any and :and/:all
(after! (:or package-a package-b ...) BODY...)
(after! (:and package-a package-b ...) BODY...)
(after! (:and package-a (:or package-b package-c) ...) BODY...)
Without :or/:any/:and/:all, :and/:all are implied.
This is a wrapper around `eval-after-load' that:
1. Suppresses warnings for disabled packages at compile-time
2. Supports compound package statements (see below)
3. Prevents eager expansion pulling in autoloaded macros all at once"

Repositories
By default, only GNU’s repositories are available to the package managers of Emacs. I also want to use Melpa and org-mode’s repository, so let’s add them! Note that the Elpa repository has been renamed to the gnu repository due to the addition of another Elpa repository, nongnu, which will hosts packages that do not conform to the FSF’s copyright assignment. Both the gnu and the nonfree repositories are Elpa repositories now, and they were renamed in order to avoid any confusion between the two of them.
(setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")))Straight
For my package management, I prefer to use straight (Github). This is
due to its capacity of integrating nicely with use-package, which is
also supported by general which I use for my keybindings (see below),
but also because with it I can specify where to retrieve packages that
are not on MELPA or ELPA but on Github and other online Git
repositories too.

The following hydra allows me to quickly zoom in and out in the current buffer.

Similarly, this one is also inspired from Spacemacs and allows the
user to interact with the width of the buffer in writeroom.

("q" nil :exit t)
("t" writeroom-increase-width "enlarge")

Another similar one is for mu4e-view-mode that allows me to shrink or
grow the mu4e-headers buffer when viewing an email.
(defhydra mu4e-headers-split-adjust-width ()
"Change the width of a `mu4e-headers' buffer."
("q" nil :exit t)

My main menu package is ivy which I use as much as possible –I’ve
noticed helm can be slow, very slow in comparison to ivy so I’ll use
the latter as much as possible. Actually, only ivy is installed for
now. I could have used ido too, but I find it to be a bit too
restricted in terms of features compared to ivy.

There is also prescient.el that offers some nice features when
coupled with ivy, guess what was born out of it? ivy-prescient, of
course!

Evil Nerd Commenter
(use-package evil-nerd-commenter

string-edit is a cool package that allows the user to write naturally
a string and get it automatically escaped for you. No more manually
escaping your strings!
(use-package string-edit
:defer t

On the other hand, writeroom allows the user to enter a
distraction-free mode of Emacs, and I like that!
(use-package writeroom-mode

Dired
(setq dired-dwim-target t)Eshell
Eshell is a built-in shell available from Emacs which I use almost as often as fish. Some adjustments are necessary to make it fit my taste though.
(general-define-key
:keymaps 'eshell-mode-map
:states 'insert
"C-a" #'eshell-bol
"C-e" #'end-of-line)Aliases
First, let’s declare our list of “dumb” aliases we’ll use in Eshell. You can find them here.
(setq eshell-aliases-file (expand-file-name "eshell-aliases" user-emacs-directory))A couple of other aliases will be defined through custom Elisp functions, but first I’ll need a function for concatenating a shell command into a single string:
(defun phundrak/concatenate-shell-command (&rest command)
"Concatenate an eshell `COMMAND' into a single string.
All elements of `COMMAND' will be joined in a single
space-separated string."
(string-join command " "))
I’ll also declare some aliases here, such as open and openo that
respectively allow me to open a file in Emacs, and same but in another
window.
(defalias 'open 'find-file)
(defalias 'openo 'find-file-other-window)
As you see, these were not declared in my dedicated aliases file but
rather were declared programmatically. This is because I like to keep
my aliases file for stuff that could work too with other shells were
the syntax a bit different, and aliases related to Elisp are kept
programmatically. I’ll also declare list-buffers an alias of ibuffer
because naming it that way kind of makes more sense to me.
(defalias 'list-buffers 'ibuffer)
I still have some stupid muscle memory telling me to open emacs, vim
or nano in Eshell, which is stupid: I’m already inside Emacs and I
have all its power available instantly. So, let’s open each file
passed to these commands.
(defun eshell/emacs (&rest file)
"Open each `FILE' and kill eshell.
Old habits die hard."
(when file
(dolist (f (reverse file))
(find-file f t))))
Finally, I’ll declare mkcd which allows the simultaneous creation of a
directory and moving into this newly created directory. And of course,
it will also work if the directory also exists or if parent
directories don’t, similarly to the -p option passed to mkdir.
(defun eshell/mkcd (dir)
"Create the directory `DIR' and move there.
If the directory `DIR' doesn’t exist, create it and its parents
if needed, then move there."
(mkdir dir t)
(cd dir))Custom Functions
When I’m in Eshell, sometimes I wish to open multiple files at once in
Emacs. For this, when I have several arguments for find-file, I want
to be able to open them all at once. Let’s modify find-file like so:
(defadvice find-file (around find-files activate)
"Also find all files within a list of files. This even works recursively."
(if (listp filename)
(cl-loop for f in filename do (find-file f wildcards))
ad-do-it))
I also want to be able to have multiple instances of Eshell opened at
once. For that, I declared the function eshell-new that does exactly
that.
(defun eshell-new ()
"Open a new instance of eshell."
(interactive)
(eshell 'N))Environment Variables
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 if they aren’t already.
| Path | Relative to HOME? |
|---|---|
| .pub-cache/bin | yes |
| .local/bin | yes |
| .cargo/bin | yes |
| .gen/ruby/2.6.0/bin | yes |
| go/bin | yes |
PATH
(setenv "PATH" "<<src-eshell-env-path()>>")
I would also like to set two environment variables related to Dart development:
the DART_SDK and ANDROID_HOME variables.
(setenv "DART_SDK" "/opt/dart-sdk/bin")
(setenv "ANDROID_HOME" (concat (getenv "HOME") "/Android/Sdk/"))
The EDITOR variable also needs to be set for git commands, especially the
yadm commands.
(setenv "EDITOR" "emacsclient -c")
Finally, for some specific situations I need SHELL to be set to
something more standard than fish:
(setenv "SHELL" "/bin/sh")Visual configuration
I like to have at quick glance some information about my machine when I fire up a terminal. I haven’t found anything that does that the way I like it, so I’ve written a package!

I want to disable by default behavior of ^ and _ for only one
character, making it compulsory to use instead ^{} and _{}
respectively. This is due to my frequent usage of the underscore in my
org files as a regular character and not a markup one, especially when
describing phonetics evolution. So, let’s disable it:
(setq org-use-sub-superscripts (quote {}))LaTeX
When it comes to exports, I want the LaTeX and PDF exports to be done with XeLaTeX only. This implies the modification of the following variable:
(setq org-latex-compiler "xelatex")
I also want to get by default minted for LaTeX listings so I can have
syntax highlights:
(setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
The default packages break my LaTeX exports: for some reasons, images
are not loaded and exported in PDFs, so I needed to redifine the
default packages excluding the one that broke my exports. I also added
a default package, minted for syntax highlighting.
(setq org-latex-default-packages-alist '(("" "graphicx" t)
("T1" "fontspec" t ("pdflatex"))
("" "longtable" nil)
("" "wrapfig" nil)
("" "rotating" nil)
("normalem" "ulem" t)
("" "amsmath" t)
("" "textcomp" t)
("" "amssymb" t)
("" "capt-of" nil)
("" "minted" nil)
("" "hyperref" nil)))By the way, reference links in LaTeX should be written in this format:
(setq org-export-latex-hyperref-format "\\ref{%s}")When it comes to the export itself, the latex file needs to be processed several times through XeLaTeX in order to get some references right. Don’t forget to also run bibtex!
(setq org-latex-pdf-process
'("xelatex -8bit -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"bibtex %b"
"xelatex -8bit -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
"xelatex -8bit -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))Finally, org-mode is supposed to automatically clean logfiles after it exports an org file to LaTeX. However, it misses a few, so I need to add their extension like so:
(dolist (ext '("bbl" "lot"))
(add-to-list 'org-latex-logfiles-extensions ext t))HTML
For Reveal.JS exports, I need to set where to find the framework by default:
(setq org-re-reveal-root "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/reveal.js")On HTML exports, Org-mode tries to include a validation link for the exported HTML. Let’s disable that since I never use it.
(setq org-html-validation-link nil)LaTeX formats
I currently have two custom formats for my Org-mode exports: one for general use
(initialy for my conlanging files, hence its conlang name), and one for beamer
exports.
Below is the declaration of the conlang LaTeX class:
'("conlang"
"\\documentclass{book}"
("\\chapter{%s}" . "\\chapter*{%s}")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
And here is the declaration of the beamer class:
`("beamer"
,(concat "\\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}\n"
"[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]"
"[PACKAGES]"
"[EXTRA]\n")
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
Both these classes have to be added to org-latex-classes like so:
(eval-after-load "ox-latex"
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
<<org-latex-class-conlang>>
)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
<<org-latex-class-beamer>>
)))Projects
Another great features of Org-mode is the Org projects that allow the user to easily publish a bunch of org files to a remote location. Here is the current declaration of my projects, which will be detailed later:
<<org-proj-config-setup>>
<<org-proj-lang-setup>>
(setq org-publish-project-alist
`(
<<org-proj-config-html>>

This is my configuration for exporting my dotfiles to my website in a web format only. No PDFs or anything, just HTML. Please note that I do not use that often anymore, I much prefer the automatic script that I have which deploys through my Drone instance my website on git pushes.
And before we get into the actual configuration, I would like to introduce a couple of variables. This is a bit more verbose than if I declared everything manually, but now I can change all three values at the same time without a hasle.
(defvar phundrak//projects-config-target

(defvar phundrak//projects-config-recursive
t
"Defines whether subdirectories should be parsed for config.phundrak.com")Now, here is my configuration. In this snippet, my org files located in my source directory get exported in the HTML format and published to my target directory on my remote server through RSYNC via TRAMP. A sitemap is automatically generated, which comes in handy with the online sitemap that is available through the navigation bar.

Tramp is an Emacs built-in package that allows the user to connect to
various hosts using various protocols, such as ssh and
rsync. However, I have some use-case for Tramp which are not
supported natively. I will describe them here.
(require 'tramp)Yadm
yadm is a git wrapper made to easily manage your dotfiles. It has
loads of features I don’t use (the main one I like but don’t use is
its Jinja-like host and OS-aware syntax), but unfortunately Magit
doesn’t play nice with it. Tramp to the rescue, and this page explains
how! Let’s just insert in my config this code snippet:
(add-to-list 'tramp-methods

DSLs
DSLs, or Domain Specific Languages, are languages dedicated to some very tasks, such as configuration languages or non-general programming such as SQL.
Caddy
Caddy (or Caddyserver) is a web server akin to Nginx or Apache which I find much easier to configure that the latter two, plus it has built-in support for automatically generating SSL certificates with Letsencrypt! Automatic HTTPS, what more do you want?
All that is nice and all, but Emacs doesn’t support the syntax of
Caddy files natively, so let’s install caddyfile-mode:
(use-package caddyfile-mode
:defer t
:straight (:build t)
:mode (("Caddyfile\\'" . caddyfile-mode)
("caddy\\.conf\\'" . caddyfile-mode)))Nginx
Nginx is another webserver, older and more mature than Caddy. A couple of packages are required in order to be able to properly work with Nginx configuration files. First, we need the correct mode for editing Nginx configuration files.
(use-package nginx-mode
:straight (:build t)
:defer t)
We then also have an autocompletion package that adds to company the
Nginx syntax.
(use-package company-nginx
:straight (:build t)
:defer t
:config
(add-hook 'nginx-mode-hook (lambda ()
(add-to-list 'company-backends #'company-nginx))))Yaml
