ogrim-emacs-config

My .emacs was long overdue for a cleanup. As I am amazed with the modularity and cleanliness of the overtone/live-coding-emacs repository, and decided to merge my own config into this.

I don't care about the live coding stuff in the original repo, so you can check that out here: https://github.com/overtone/live-coding-emacs. I am also using submodules to keep track of libraries, so I don't have to manually update them all the time.

Getting started

1. Run git clone https://ogrim@github.com/ogrim/ogrim-emacs-config.git to get the repository, and git submodule update --init to initialize and update the submodules we are using.
2. In order to tell emacs to use this config, you can to one of two things:
   • Move and rename the live-coding-emacs folder to ~/.emacs.d
   • Symlink to the checked out repository with ln -s /path/to/ogrim-emacs-config/ ~/.emacs.d
3. You shuld run emacs with emacs --daemon and open a frame with emacsclient -c

Emacs in daemon mode is fast and awesome!

Updating submodules

• Check submodule status with git submodule status

• If it has changed, pull the new commits with git submodule update

What's inside?

This config includes an exciting cornucopia of Emacs goodies set up and ready to go. The highlights are:

• Clojure Mode (with fancy (λ [a] (+ a 5)) and ƒ(+ % 5) prettifications)
• Slime (for communicating with swank servers)
• Auto completion (configured to work with slime for inline auto completion of documentation)
• Sexy Zenburn color theme
• Fancy highlighting of sexps on eval, with nicer colors
• REPL syntax highlighting
• Submodules
