TODO Look at tangling at

[http://thewanderingcoder.com/2015/02/literate-emacs-configuration/]

although I'd rather do something like a local variable evaluation such as

Or makefile approach [https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/27126/is-it-possible-to-org-bable-tangle-an-org-file-from-the-command-line]

TODO Find what package.el does

Some remarks and comments

setq vs setq-default

Some variables are buffer-local, others are not; for non buffer-local variables the two commands are equivalent; for the buffer-local variables, setq acts on the current buffer, whereas setq-default sets the default value of the variable for buffers that do not have a local value.

:source: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/18173666]

Files and dirs

Move Customize to a separate file

  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
  (load custom-file 'noerror)

Add relevant dirs to load path [This is somewhat undesirable; I should uniformize the path-loading business at some point…]

  (let ((default-directory "~/.emacs.d/"))
    (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)
    (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '("fringe-helper.el"
                                         "multiple-cursors.el"
                                         "expand-region.el"
                                         "dash.el")))
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/tmp") ;;what is this for?
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/kde-emacs")

Put autosave files (ie #foo#) and backup files (ie foo~) in ~/.emacs.d/. create the autosave dir if necessary, since emacs won't.

  (make-directory "~/.emacs.d/autosaves/" t)
  (make-directory "~/.emacs.d/backup/" t)

Theming

Use (my clone of) the solarized scheme

  (add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "/home/jacopods/clones/emacs-color-theme-solarized")
  (load-theme 'solarized t)

Use patched terminus font (this overrides the settings in Customize, but I never could it to work otherwise). See the special treatment later on for dealing with bold weight

  (set-face-font 'default "-xos4-hackminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-ISO10646-1")

Global settings

Cosmetics

Prefer a minimal appearance: no menu, toolbar or scroll-bars; no splash screens or messages

  (menu-bar-mode -1)
  (tool-bar-mode 0)
  (scroll-bar-mode -1)
  (setq inhibit-startup-screen t
        inhibit-startup-message t)

a blinking cursor keeps the gpu awake; add global hl-line mode to more easily spot the cursor

  (blink-cursor-mode 0)
  (set-default 'cursor-type 'box)
  (global-hl-line-mode t)

Set frame title

  (setq frame-title-format
     '((buffer-file-name "%f"
         (dired-directory dired-directory "%b")) " · emacs"));; · " (:eval (kde-current-activity-name)))) ;; "%S"))

Mouseless

Disable mouse interaction with emacs

  (setq mouse-autoselect-window nil)
  (mouse-wheel-mode -1)
  (setq mouse-yank-at-point nil)
  (setq focus-follows-mouse nil)

TODO Find out what of the above is necessary given the disable-mouse mode below

Use the disable-mouse package by Steve Purcell available at [https://github.com/purcell/disable-mouse]

  (require 'disable-mouse)
  (global-disable-mouse-mode)

Window behavior

Prevent compilation window eating up other windows

   (setq compilation-scroll-output t
         compilation-window-height 12)

TODO find out what this was actually meant to do

  (setq-default display-buffer-reuse-frames t)

Whitespace

Trailing whitespace is evil; get rid of it

TODO Have a look at ws-trim.el

It is conf'ble to avoid removing whitespace from lines that were not modified; sounds like a good idea for git [ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/emacs/ws-trim.el]

  (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t)
  (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)

Tabs are evil; get rid of them

  (setq c-basic-offset 4)
  (setq tab-width 4)
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)

Show matching parens

Use mic-paren for paren-highlighting

TODO find out if there are better options out there

;     (setq show-paren-mode t)
  (require 'mic-paren)
  (paren-activate)

Leftovers

  (setq-default abbrev-mode t)
  (read-abbrev-file "~/.abbrev_defs")

        scroll-margin 3
        scroll-step 1
        scroll-conservatively 10000

TODO find out how kde-emacs makes “make” actually work
