About me

(setq user-full-name "Case Duckworth"
      user-mail-address "acdw@acdw.net")

Correct exec-path

Straight depends on Git, so I need to tell Emacs where different paths are.

(let ((win-downloads "c:/Users/aduckworth/Downloads"))
  (dolist (path (list
		 ;; Linux
		 (expand-file-name "bin"
				   user-emacs-directory)
		 (expand-file-name "~/bin")
		 (expand-file-name "~/.local/bin")
		 (expand-file-name "~/Scripts")
		 ;; Windows
		 (expand-file-name "emacs/bin"
				   win-downloads)
		 (expand-file-name "m/usr/bin"
				   win-downloads)
		 (expand-file-name "m/mingw64/bin"
				   win-downloads)
		 (expand-file-name "PortableGit/bin"
				   win-downloads)
		 (expand-file-name "PortableGit/usr/bin"
				   win-downloads)))
    (when (file-exists-p path)
      (add-to-list 'exec-path path))))

Package management

Straight.el

Straight can't bootstrap itself on Windows, so I've wrapped the bootstrap code from straight's repo in a function.

(defun acdw/bootstrap-straight ()
  "Bootstrap straight.el."
  (defvar bootstrap-version)
  (let ((bootstrap-file
	 (expand-file-name
	  "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
	  user-emacs-directory))
	(bootstrap-version 5))
    (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
      (with-current-buffer
	  (url-retrieve-synchronously
	   (concat
	    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/"
	    "raxod502/straight.el/"
	    "develop/install.el")
	   'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
	(goto-char (point-max))
	(eval-print-last-sexp)))
    (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage)))

Now, I'll try running it regular-style, ignoring the errors. If it doesn't work, I'll call git directly and clone the repo myself.

(unless (ignore-errors (acdw/bootstrap-straight))
  (message "%s" "Straight.el didn't bootstrap correctly.  Cloning directly...")
  (call-process "git" nil
		(get-buffer-create "*bootstrap-straight-messages*") nil
		"clone"
		"https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el"
		(expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el"
				  user-emacs-directory))
  (acdw/bootstrap-straight))

Ease-of-configuring functions

Emulate use-package’s :custom

(defmacro cuss (var val &optional _docstring)

  (declare (doc-string 3)
	   (indent 2))

	    ',var ,val))

Emulate use-package’s :custom-face, but better

(defvar acdw--custom-faces ()
  "List of custom faces to run through acdw/set-custom-faces.")

Determine whether any Emacs frame is focused or not

This comes in handy when I want to garbage collect, say, or save recent files.

Determine where I am

I use Emacs at home, with Linux, and at work, with Windows.

the above and other conditions to check."
  (declare (indent 1))

Ancillary scripts

emacsdc

Here's a wrapper script that'll start emacs --daemon if there isn't one, and then launch emacsclient with the arguments. I'd recommend installing with either ln -s bin/emacsdc $HOME/.local/bin/, or adding $HOME/.local/bin to your $PATH.

if ! emacsclient -nc "$@" 2>/dev/null; then
    emacs --daemon
    emacsclient -nc "$@"
fi

Emacs.cmd

Here's a wrapper script that'll run Emacs on Windows, with a custom $HOME. I have mine setup like this: Emacs is downloaded from the GNU mirror and unzipped to ~/Downloads/emacs/. For some reason, Emacs by default sets $HOME to %APPDATA%, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I change it to %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\home, and then run Emacs with the supplied arguments.

As far as creating a shortcut to the Desktop, you’ll have to do that yourself – apparently Windows doesn’t have a built-in shortcut-creating software >:(.

REM Set variables
set HOME=%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\home
set EMACS=%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe

REM Change the directory
chdir %HOME%

REM Run "Quick Mode"
REM "%EMACS%" -Q %*

REM Regular
"%EMACS%" %*

TODO Local variables

One day, I’m going to add a Local Variables block to the end of this file, which will add an after-save-hook to auto-tangle the file after saving. But first I need to research how best to do that asynchronously. So.
