#+TITLE: Emacs Configuration
This is my configuration for the emacs editor.
* Set up UI
Remove all those UI elements. They do not look good and waste space.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(tooltip-mode -1)
(fringe-mode -1)
#+END_SRC
* Set up package repositories
** Require package support
State that we will need package support and define a macro for adding package repos to the archives
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'package)
(defmacro append-to-list (target suffix)
"Append SUFFIX to TARGET in place."
`(setq ,target (append ,target ,suffix)))
#+END_SRC
** Add package repos
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(append-to-list package-archives
'(("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")
("org-elpa" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")))
#+END_SRC
** Ensure ~use-package~ command is present
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(package-initialize)
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'use-package))
(require 'use-package)
(setq
use-package-always-ensure t
use-package-verbose t)
(use-package gnu-elpa-keyring-update)
#+END_SRC
* Set Backup Location
Emacs, by default clutters the file system with backup files.
We do not want them to be right next to the actual file, so we tell emacs to use dedicated directory to store them.
While we are at it, we also set rule for how many version emacs should keep as backups.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." . "~/.emacs-backup")))
(setq backup-by-copying t)
(setq delete-old-versions t
kept-new-versions 6
kept-old-versions 2
version-control t)
#+END_SRC
* Define useful functions
** Edit the config file
A simple funtion to open this file for quick editing.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun edit-config ()
(interactive)
(find-file "~/.emacs.d/README.org"))
#+END_SRC
** Reformat a whole buffer
Reindet the whole buffer with ~F12~
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun indent-buffer ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil)))
(global-set-key [f12] 'indent-buffer)
#+END_SRC
** Split windows and immediately switch to it
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun split-right-and-enter ()
"Split the window to the right and enter it."
(interactive)
(split-window-right)
(other-window 1))
(defun split-below-and-enter ()
"Split the window down and enter it."
(interactive)
(split-window-below)
(other-window 1))
#+END_SRC
** Quick buffer switching
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun switch-to-previous-buffer ()
"Switch to previously open buffer. Repeated invocations toggle between the two most recently open buffers."
(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer (other-buffer (current-buffer) 1)))
#+END_SRC
** Fold all except the current heading
With this all other subtrees in the buffer van be collapsed, leaving only the subtree at the point expanded
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun org-show-current-heading-tidily ()
(interactive) ;Inteactive
"Show next entry, keeping other entries closed."
(if (save-excursion (end-of-line) (outline-invisible-p))
(progn (org-show-entry) (show-children))
(outline-back-to-heading)
(unless (and (bolp) (org-on-heading-p))
(org-up-heading-safe)
(hide-subtree)
(error "Boundary reached"))
(org-overview)
(org-reveal t)
(org-show-entry)
(show-children)))
#+END_SRC
And it should be accessible with a quick keystroke:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key "\M-s" 'org-show-current-heading-tidily)
#+END_SRC
** Load file content as string
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun get-string-from-file (filePath)
"Return filePath's file content."
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents filePath)
(buffer-string)))
#+END_SRC
** Load all files in a directory
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun load-directory (dir)
(let ((load-it (lambda (f)
(load-file (concat (file-name-as-directory dir) f)))
))
(mapc load-it (directory-files dir nil "\\.el$"))))
#+END_SRC
* Theming
Load font from file. See [[https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs]] for more.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(load "~/.emacs.d/elegant-emacs/elegant-emacs-common.el")
(load "~/.emacs.d/elegant-emacs/elegant-emacs-light-theme.el")
#+END_SRC
* Ivy
Use Ivy to make minibuf promts better. Adds the ability to sort and filter.
** Use Ivy
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package ivy
:init
(ivy-mode 1)
(unbind-key "S-SPC" ivy-minibuffer-map)
(setq ivy-height 30
ivy-use-virtual-buffers t
ivy-use-selectable-prompt t)
(defun swiper-at-point ()
(interactive)
(swiper (thing-at-point 'word)))
:bind (("C-x b" . ivy-switch-buffer)
("C-c C-r" . ivy-resume)
("C-c s" . swiper-at-point)
("C-s" . swiper))
:diminish)
;; ivy-rich makes Ivy look a little bit more like Helm.
(use-package ivy-rich
:after counsel
:custom
(ivy-virtual-abbreviate 'full
ivy-rich-switch-buffer-align-virtual-buffer t
ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev)
:init
(ivy-rich-mode))
(use-package ivy-hydra)
#+END_SRC
** Smex
Sort commands by recency in ivy windows
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package smex)
#+END_SRC
* Counsel
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package counsel
:ensure t
:after ivy
:init
(counsel-mode 1)
:bind (("C-c ;" . counsel-M-x)
("C-c U" . counsel-unicode-char)
("C-c i" . counsel-imenu)
("C-x f" . counsel-find-file)
("C-c y" . counsel-yank-pop)
("C-c r" . counsel-recentf)
:map ivy-minibuffer-map
("C-r" . counsel-minibuffer-history))
:diminish)
#+END_SRC
* Undo Tree
Using the beauty that is undo-tree, we can easily navigate through history of a buffer.
This includes obviously going back in edit history, but also branching of end returning to previous states.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package undo-tree
:bind (("C-x u" . undo-tree-visualize)
("C-z" . undo-tree-undo)
("C-S-z" . undo-tree-redo))
:config
(global-undo-tree-mode +1)
(unbind-key "M-_" undo-tree-map)
:diminish)
;; Trying undo-propose, which seems to offer a better experience, as
;; undo tree is prone to losing data.
(use-package undo-propose
:disabled
:bind (("C-c _" . undo-propose)
:map undo-propose-mode-map
("<up>" . undo-only)))
#+END_SRC
With this we can use ~C-x u~ in any buffer to bring up the tree and navigate it using the arrow key.
Once in a state we agree with, just press ~q~ and we are done.
* Magit
Magit is THE go to package for using git in emacs.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package magit
:bind (("C-c g" . magit-status))
:diminish magit-auto-revert-mode
:diminish auto-revert-mode
:custom
(magit-remote-set-if-missing t)
(magit-diff-refine-hunk t)
:config
(magit-auto-revert-mode t)
(advice-add 'magit-refresh :before #'maybe-unset-buffer-modified)
(advice-add 'magit-commit :before #'maybe-unset-buffer-modified)
(setq magit-completing-read-function 'ivy-completing-read)
(add-to-list 'magit-no-confirm 'stage-all-changes))
(use-package libgit
:disabled
:after magit)
#+END_SRC
The ~advice-add~ entries are thereto stop magit from bugging us to save buffers when commiting and refreshing.
** Helper Functions
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
* Org Mode
** Define important files
*** The Link Dump
I use a single file to dump all links I plan on viewing later.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defvar link-dump "")

#+END_SRC
** Configure org-mode
This is the main configuration for the infamous org-mode.
The most important parts are configuring key bindings to quickly access the files we have defined above.

#+END_SRC
** Set default archive location
When archiving items in org files, the default ist to crate a separate file named ~<filename>.org_archive~.
This clutters up my notes folder quite a bit, as I use a lot of separate files with thier respective archives.
All archives should be stored in a single ~.archive~ file per directory.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC
** Beautify org-mode

#+END_SRC
** CSS Themes for Exports
When exporting from org-mode (usually to HTML) we want to specify additional styles.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defvar org-theme-css-dir "~/.emacs.d/org-css/")
#+END_SRC
Pack some ~.css~ files into this directory. They will be available for choosing when exporting.
The folowing code will define a function to inline css into a self-contained html file.
To use it type ~M-x toggle-org-custom-inline-style~ into an org-mode buffer.
When exporting to HTML emacs will ask which css theme to use.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun org-html-inline-style ()
(interactive)
(let ((hook 'org-export-before-parsing-hook)

#+END_SRC
** Prettier Timestamps in Exports
The default timestamps look pretty unintuitive, with all the angle brackets and all. Let's make them look better.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;;(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-timestamp-functions

#+END_SRC
Removed for now, this somehow breaks emacs
OK, no more brackets. Now for a better formatted display.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default org-display-custom-times t)
(setq org-time-stamp-custom-formats
'("<%a %d.%m.%Y>" . "<%d.%m.%y %H:%M>"))
#+END_SRC
** Templates
*** Babel
Here we set custom templates to be used for structure expansion.
These are used when we type "<" folowed by the shortcut for a template and hit "TAB".
e.g. "<s TAB" expands to ~#+BEGIN_SRC ?\n\n#+END_SRC~
**** emacs-lisp
Shortcut for creating ~emacs-lisp~ code blocks. This is used extensively in this very file.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" "#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp\n?\n#+END_SRC"))
#+END_SRC
*** Capture Support Functions
First we define a function to look the subheading under which we want to file captures:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun org-get-target-headline (&optional targets prompt)
"Prompt for a location in an org file and jump to it.
This is for promping for refile targets when doing captures.
Targets are selected from `org-refile-targets'. If TARGETS is
given it temporarily overrides `org-refile-targets'. PROMPT will
replace the default prompt message.
If CAPTURE-LOC is is given, capture to that location instead of
prompting."
(let ((org-refile-targets (or targets org-refile-targets))
(prompt (or prompt "Capture Location")))
(org-refile t nil nil prompt))
)
#+END_SRC
*** Org Capture
Here we define templates we want to use to quickly capture stuff and automatically file them away.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("l" "Link" entry (file link-dump)
"* NEW %?\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED: %U\n:END:\n%i\n")

#+END_SRC
** Exports using Hugo
Using ~ox-hugo~ a directory of org files can autmatically be extported to markdown files.
