#+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/")
("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.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
** 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
* Theming
** Main Theme
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package zenburn-theme
:config
(load-theme 'zenburn t))
#+END_SRC
** Modeline
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package moody
:config
(setq x-underline-at-descent-line t)
(moody-replace-mode-line-buffer-identification)
(moody-replace-vc-mode))
#+END_SRC
*** Minions Menu
Add a menu to the modeline to access all minor modes.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package minions
:config (minions-mode 1))
#+END_SRC
** Font
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:family "Hack"
:height 110
:weight 'normal
:width 'normal)
#+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
:ensure t
: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.

** CSS Themes for Exports
When exporting from org-mode (usually to HTML) we want to specify additional styles.

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.

** 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".
