A complete redesign of the starter kit for modern Emacs. Faster, easier to maintain, and a proper editor-to-IDE story — while keeping the Wakib promise: the shortcuts you already know, everywhere.

Highlights

  • Emacs 30+ required. The kit now builds on what ships with Emacs: use-package, which-key, eglot, project.el, editorconfig and tree-sitter are all built-in.
  • Modular config. A slim init.el plus five small modules (core, ui, completion, editing, dev) and an early-init.el. Warm startup is roughly twice as fast as before.
  • Modern completion. Vertico, Orderless, Marginalia, Consult and Embark in the minibuffer; Corfu and Cape in buffers. Tab completes, Return still inserts a newline.
  • IDE support. M-x eglot for language servers, tree-sitter highlighting with a one-time grammar install prompt per language, Magit on C-e g, projects on C-e p.
  • Languages out of the box: everything built into Emacs, plus Markdown, YAML, Go, Rust, Lua, TypeScript, Dockerfile and CMake — with classic modes as entry points and graceful fallbacks.
  • Better defaults: saved minibuffer history, reopen files at your last position, auto-revert, electric pairs, smooth scrolling, and the built-in modus-vivendi-tinted theme.

Breaking changes when upgrading

  • Emacs 30+ is now required — older versions stop with a friendly error at startup.
  • Delete your old packages when upgrading in place: run rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa before the first start so stale packages don't shadow the ones now built into Emacs.
  • Ivy/Counsel/Company → Vertico/Consult/Corfu. Day-to-day muscle memory carries over: C-b switches buffers, M-i/M-k and M-;/M-: move through candidates.
  • undo-tree → built-in undo. C-z/C-S-z are undo/redo; C-e u opens vundo, a visual undo tree.
  • Projectile → built-in project.el. The prefix is still C-e p; the common commands (f, p, g) are the same.
  • Theme is now modus-vivendi-tinted (built-in). Load any theme from user/init-user.el to override.
  • Crystal and HAML modes are no longer bundled — see refs/init-user.el.template for how to add them (or any other language) back.

See the README for full details, including the user-override mechanism that keeps your customizations safe across updates.
