#+TITLE: Ryan's Emacs config #+AUTHOR: Ryan Kes #+DESCRIPTION: There are many Emacs configs, this one is mine * About My personal Emacs config. ** init.el To load this config add the following to ~init.el~ #+begin_example (org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "config.org" user-emacs-directory)) #+end_example * Package Management ** Archives #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq package-archives '(("melpa" .

"https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/"))) (package-initialize) (unless package-archive-contents (package-refresh-contents)) #+end_src ** Use-Package The ~use-package~ macro allows you to isolate package configuration in your ~.emacs~ file in a way that is both performance-oriented and, well, tidy. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package) (package-install 'use-package)) (require 'use-package) ;; "ensure" packages by default (setq use-package-always-ensure t) #+end_src ** Ensure The ~:ensure~ keyword causes the package(s) to be installed automatically if not already present on your system #+begin_src emacs-lisp (require 'use-package-ensure) (setq use-package-always-ensure t) #+end_src * General Configuration ** User Interface Start with minimal interface #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq inhibit-startup-message t) ;; Disable startup message (scroll-bar-mode -1) ; Disable visible scrollbar (tool-bar-mode -1) ; Disable the toolbar (tooltip-mode -1) ; Disable tooltips (menu-bar-mode -1) ; Disable the menu bar ;; Set up the visible bell (setq visible-bell t) #+end_src Enable line numbers and customize their format. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (column-number-mode) (global-display-line-numbers-mode t) #+end_src ** Theme #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package doom-themes) (load-theme 'doom-molokai t) #+end_src ** Font #+begin_src emacs-lisp (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font") #+end_src ** Mode Line *** Doom Modeline #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package doom-modeline :init (doom-modeline-mode 1) :custom (doom-modeline-height 15)) #+end_src * Keyboard Bindings ** Escape Cancels All #+begin_src emacs-lisp (global-set-key (kbd "") 'keyboard-escape-quit) #+end_src ** Evil Mode Evil Collection is also installed since it adds 'evil' bindings to parts of Emacs that the standard Evil package does not cover, such as: calenda, help-mode adn ibuffer. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package evil :init ;; tweak evil's configuration before loading it (setq evil-want-integration t) ;; This is optional since it's already set to t by default.

Counsel takes this further, providing versions of common Emacs commands that are customised to make the best use of Ivy. For example, ~counsel-find-file~ has some additional keybindings. Pressing ~DEL~ will move you to the parent directory. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package counsel :demand t :bind (("M-x" . counsel-M-x) ("C-x b" . counsel-ibuffer) ("C-x C-f" . counsel-find-file) ;; ("C-M-j" . counsel-switch-buffer) ("C-M-l" . counsel-imenu) :map minibuffer-local-map ("C-r" .
