;;; Commentary:

;; This file is the entry point for my customized configuration.

;;; Code:

;; save customizations in custom.el
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(load custom-file 'missing-ok)

;; customize isn't great a customizing default lists - it would be
;; great if it could append/prepend, but it can't so we do that work
;; here

;; prepend /usr/local/bin to the exec-path & PATH
;; this is probably only needed on Mac OS
(add-to-list 'exec-path "/usr/local/bin")
(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/usr/local/bin"))

;; ignore the node_modules directory
(with-eval-after-load 'grep
  (add-to-list 'grep-find-ignored-directories "node_modules"))

;; setup org mode global keys
;; see http://orgmode.org/manual/Activation.html
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)

;; append melpa-stable
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)

;; init and refresh package list, if needed
(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents
  (package-refresh-contents))

;; install selected packages (see package-selected-packages in custom.el)
(package-install-selected-packages)

;;; init.el ends here
