dot-emacs

My .emacs file and other personal Emacs goodies.

I keep my Emacs file in literate Org mode, so that it's easier to organize and also document how things are to be used, since there are enough packages that I often forget. You can view that document here:

https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org

NOTE: I no longer use git-subtree and submodules to track dependencies. Instead, everything is built and managed using Nix and Nix overlays: https://github.com/jwiegley/nix-config/blob/master/overlays/10-emacs.nix

dot-emacs's Issues

Order of operations in .emacs?

I've got my forked version building clean, but I am having trouble with using the built resources in my .emacs itself. No matter where I load my settings.el, it keeps getting clobbered by things in init.el. It currently looks like this:

;; .emacs
;; set up load-path
(load-file "/home/emacs/load-path.el")
(require 'load-path)
(require 'autoloads)
(require 'cus-load)
(load-file "/home/emacs/settings.el")
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
          `(lambda ()
             (load-file "/home/emacs/init.el"))
          t)

How far off am I from your intended usage?

Looks like this is caused by the recent changes to yasnippet b1ca219.

opening links with special characters

to accommodate links with special characters, I modified org-dtp-open to include (shell-quote-argument record-location)

Why `company` :defer 5 ?

https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.el#L737

I cannot figure out any reason.
Thx.

Dired+. Is it possible to change color of recent created/edit files/folders?

Windows 10, Emacs 25.1, Dired+

I use file manager Total Commander. And I set them to show different color (blue) for recent created/edited files/folder. It's very comfortably.

Here example:

Is it possible in Emacs in Dired+ mode?

Mis-typed quote?

Is this a syntax error?

Thanks for all the great work on emacs, etc, over the years.

bbdb-vcard-export record name change

Dear John,

While reading the page on the emacswiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BbdbExporters I saw your comment saying: "I’ve ported this module to BBDB 3. – JohnWiegley" Keeping to the adage that no good deed shall go unpunished, I installed it in my spanking new arch linux system. However it crashed when I tried to use it. The latest bbdb which I installed via melpa (Version: 20131116.930) seems to have changed the name of the function bbdb-record-note to bbdb-record-xfield. Here is the diff that got it to work once again:

 130c130
 <         (notes (bbdb-record-xfield record 'note))
 ---
 >         (notes (bbdb-record-note record 'note))
 134c134
 <         (categories (bbdb-record-xfield record 'category)))
 ---
 >         (categories (bbdb-record-note record 'category)))

It is easily achieved by doing a query-replace bbdb-record-note -> bbdb-record-xfield

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes,
Henry Laxen

Which key is <C-m> in :bind keyword in multiple cursor

Hi,

I am sorry to ask this, but I was not able to find out which key on my keyboard is

Do you have helm-projectile-switch-project bound?

I see you call (helm-projectile-on) but it doesn't work for me. Does it work for you? I reported bbatsov/helm-projectile#33

agenda background color according to file/category

Hi,

Thanks for the insight of your September talk, I watched it very closely to learn how you're dealing with everyday org issues I also do face too well.

I just studied your repo here but could not find out how you are applying different background colors to complete lines within your agenda (only) according to the file/category.

• org-tag-faces -> only tags
• org-todo-keyword-faces -> only keywords

So how are you accomplishing this?

Thanks for your time!

`'after-init-hook` question

Hi John, I was wondering if there was some reason for quasi-quoting the function that is passed to 'after-init-hook in init.el?

(add-hook 'after-init-hook
          `(lambda ()
             (setq file-name-handler-alist file-name-handler-alist-old
                   gc-cons-threshold 800000
                   gc-cons-percentage 0.1)
             (garbage-collect)) t)

Font in modeline

I have been trying (and studying) your .emacs.d. It is wonderfully fast! After cloning with git clone --recursive https://github.com/jwiegley/dot-emacs .emacs.d I seem to have all the requirements (beside a missing mail checking app).

I have also enabled the font Source Pro, and Myriad Pro, as in init.el. Still, it seems I am missing one font:

Which font is that one?

Thank you for your code! Really instructive.

Are you still using the M-x customize interface?

Hi John!

I noticed in your recent move to a literate configuration you now store customisations in :custom rather than a blob of settings inside custom-set-variables.

I'd like to do the same but the thing that prohibits me is I still like to use M-x customize-variable quite a lot and as far as I know there isn't a package that will route these to the applicable :custom block, something like the way you described here jwiegley/use-package#517 (comment)

Did you find a solution to this or did you just adapt your workflow?

Org-mode subrepo issue when pulling

Hi,

When I pull dot-emacs I get:

fatal: reference is not a tree: 81a77c3ba9618a9ff28f5d22a4cdabb6d32230b7
Unable to checkout '81a77c3ba9618a9ff28f5d22a4cdabb6d32230b7' in submodule path 'override/org-mode'

I am using GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin11.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.4

Very nice set-up, thank you for making it available.

To use this on NixOS running system-wide, what should "NIX_MYENV_NAME" point to?
