pdixon/emacs.d

My emacs configuration.

File Structure

Everything lives under .emacs.d. init.el is the entry point. This file set up the paths where everything else is found.

Paths:

lisp

elisp code I’ve written.

mytemplates

Autoinsert file templates.

snippets

Text snippets for yasnippets.

user

Machine specific customisations.

vendor

Third party packages. Where possible I’m moving to using submodules to track these from upstream.

Packages

Where ever possible I’m using package.el to manage these. I have melpa set up in addition to the default gnu elpa.

There are still a very modes that aren’t available as packages. These are checked in under vendor/.

Applications

Org mode

Deft

Gnus

Magit

Dired

Auto Typing

I like to make the computer do as much of my work as I possibly can. Hence I’ve spend a bit of time on the various auto typing features.

• yasnippet
• autoinsert

External Programs

• aspell
• clangd
• sourcekit-lsp

Building Emacs

I like to run recent builds from the master branch (I’m not patient enough to wait for a release to get all the great new stuff that’s getting merged).

On macOS:

./configure --with-mailutils --with-native-compilation
MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)" make bootstrap && make install
plutil -insert LSEnvironment -xml '<dict/>' nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Info.plist
plutil -insert LSEnvironment.PATH -string "$(echo $PATH)" nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Info.plist
