Raw Blame History

Emacs, emacs, emacs

Lets configure Emacs using Org mode, they said. Itll be fun, they said.

Pave the way

Correct exec-path

  (let ((win-downloads "c:/Users/aduckworth/Downloads"))
    (dolist (path (list
	    ;; Linux
	    (expand-file-name "bin"
			      user-emacs-directory)

Package management

Straight.el

Since for whatever reason, Straight can't bootstrap itself on Windows I've wrapped it in a function here and added the direct git command when it errors.

  (defun acdw/bootstrap-straight ()
    (defvar bootstrap-version)

			   'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
			(goto-char (point-max))
			(eval-print-last-sexp)))
		    (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage)))

Customize variables

Put customizations in a separate file

  (setq custom-file

A macro for ease of customization

  (defmacro cuss (var val &optional docstring)
    "Basically `:custom' from `use-package', broken out."

Emacs' files

init.el

I realized I didnt need early-init.el, since it really only set load-prefer-newer. So Ive set that here, and wrapped the actual loading of config in a let* form that speeds up init, and loads the newer of either config.org or config.el.

  ;; init.el -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

  (setq load-prefer-newer t)

  (let* (;; Speed up init
  (gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum)
  (file-name-handler-alist nil)
  ;; Config file names
  (conf (expand-file-name "config"
		   user-emacs-directory))
  (conf-el (concat conf ".el"))
  (conf-org (concat conf ".org")))
    (unless (and (file-newer-than-file-p conf-el conf-org)
   (load conf 'no-error))
(require 'org)
(org-babel-load-file conf-org)))

      (save-mark-and-excursion
 (with-current-buffer (find-file config)
   (let ((prog-mode-hook nil))
     ;; generate the readme
     (when (file-newer-than-file-p config (expand-file-name
					   "README.md"
					   user-emacs-directory))
       (require 'ox-md)
       (org-md-export-to-markdown))
     ;; tangle config.org
     (when (file-newer-than-file-p config (expand-file-name

       (require 'org)
       (let ((inits (org-babel-tangle)))
	 ;; byte-compile resulting files
	 (dolist (f inits)
	   (when (string-match "\\.el\\'" f)
	     (byte-compile-file f (not disable-load)))))))))))

Add a hook to tangle when quitting

  (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook #'acdw/refresh-emacs-no-load)

Ancillary scripts

emacsdc

Heres a wrapper script thatll start emacs daemon if there isnt one, and then launch emacsclient with the arguments. Id recommend installing with either ln -s bin/emacsdc $HOME/.local/bin/, or adding $HOME/.local/bin to your $PATH.

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