These are all the non built-in packages which are used in this build.
(setq package-list '(elpy expand-region magit multiple-cursors))
Use ELPA and MELPA archives for packages.
;; Add packet archives
(setq package-archives
'(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")))
;; Sort C - h a command to sort by relevance
(setq apropos-sort-by-scores t)
Make sure that the archives are available.
(package-initialize)
Fetch all the packages which are needed.
(unless package-archive-contents
(package-refresh-contents))
This will install all the packages which are not installed.
(dolist (package package-list)
(unless (package-installed-p package)
(package-install package)))
Here are all the changes that make some change to the appearance of Emacs.
No need to have the starting screen. However, if you like it you can comment this line out with ;; at the beginning or by just removing it.
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
To hide the menu change t to -1 and vise-versa for toolbar. To change the text in top left corner, change the text between the quotation marks. The theme can also be changed I would recommend you type M-x and then customize-themes to find a theme which you like and then change the text to that theme.
(menu-bar-mode t)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(setq frame-title-format "Here be dragons..")
(load-theme 'wombat)
I prefer Emacs to launch in full screen, either delete or comment this out if you don't like this option.
(toggle-frame-maximized)
This makes programming a lot easier, basically it highlights (), {} and []. It might do some more but these are the ones I benefit from.
(show-paren-mode)
This makes sure that the line numbers are always shown. Makes it easier to use command such as M-g M-g and then typing the line you want to go to.
(require 'linum)
(global-linum-mode 1)
Good to keep track of how wide I've written, for example when coding.
(column-number-mode t)
Highlight the line which the pointer is at. Very useful to quickly find the point. The colour is also changed to make it easier to find the point. The cursor is also made orange to be easier to find in a document.
(global-hl-line-mode 1)
(set-face-background hl-line-face "DeepSkyBlue4")
(set-cursor-color "sienna2")
This section contain some small things which makes my emacs experience much more pleasant.
If something is covered between point and mark, it gets deleted once I start typing.
(delete-selection-mode 1)
This replaces the question yes or no with y or n so I don't have to write yes and no.
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
This should fix Tilde problem (can't be typed) for Swedish keyboard layouts.
(require 'iso-transl)
Enables IDO-mode which makes it easier to find and open files in the system. When you for example use C-c C-f (find file) or C-c C-b (switch buffer) it will auto-complete.
(require 'ido)
(ido-mode t)
Add newline with C-n if at end of buffer, otherwise you have to press RET.
(setq next-line-add-newlines t)
Never ever use backspace again, there are two settings below, both at the same key but for different layouts, UK and Swedish.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-ö") 'delete-backward-char) ;; Designed for a Swedish keyboard
(global-set-key (kbd "M-ö") 'backward-kill-word) ;; Designed for a Swedish keyboard
(global-set-key (kbd "C-;") 'delete-backward-char) ;; Designed for a UK keyboard (Cred: Christian for correction)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-;") 'backward-kill-word) ;; Designed for a UK keyboard (Cred: Christian for correction)
Use multiple cursors to edit at several places at once. C-> will the next matching region (of what is currently highlighted), C-< will do the same but look backwards in the document.
C-c m c will create cursors for the whole marked region.
;; Multiple cursors
(require 'multiple-cursors)
(multiple-cursors-mode)
(global-set-key (kbd "C->") 'mc/mark-next-like-this)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<") 'mc/mark-previous-like-this)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-<") 'mc/mark-all-like-this)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c m c") 'mc/edit-lines)
Enable Elpy-mode.
(elpy-enable)
Change default interpreter to python3.
(setq elpy-rpc-python-command "python3")
(setq python-shell-interpreter "python3")
This is used for code-folding, it should detect segments and then fold/unfold it by using C-@ C/c and only in Elpy-mode.
(add-hook 'elpy-mode-hook
(function (lambda ()
(hs-minor-mode t))))
;; Expand region
;; (require 'expand-region)
;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-@") 'er/expand-region)
Currently not using minimap-mode
;; Adds an minimap to buffer
;; (minimap-mode)
Make sure that we have org-mode installed.
(require 'org)
These are the global shortcuts which we want to be accessible from everywhere.
C-c l shortcut which saves a a link to current document which can later be inserted in an org document with the command C-c C-o.
C-c a show the agenda.
C-c c opens the capture menu to add different tasks such as tasks, ideas or TODO's.
C-c b switch between org-buffers.
(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)
These are the options you can cycle through for the TODO items.
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO" "IN-PROGRESS" "WAITING" "DONE")))
This makes the text wrap at the end of emacs windows.
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'(lambda ()
(visual-line-mode)
(org-indent-mode)))
The three priority are A,B and C with A being the highest and default. Below is the colour and looks for each of the priorities.
(setq org-highest-priority ?A)
(setq org-lowest-priority ?C)
(setq org-default-priority ?A)
(setq org-priority-faces '((?A . (:foreground "#F0DFAF" :weight bold))

(?C . (:foreground "OliveDrab"))))
Agenda
(setq org-agenda-files (list "~/org/ideas.org"))
TODO
(setq org-todo-file (expand-file-name "~/Dropbox/todo.org"))
This is a file to capture notes.
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "~Dropbox/org/todo.org"))
(setq org-default-notes-file org-todo-file)
(setq org-deadline-warning-days 7)

(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy
(quote
((agenda deadline-up priority-down)
(todo priority-down category-keep)
(tags priority-down category-keep)
(search category-keep))))
These are the templates for saving ideas. There are three options, ideas, notes and TODOs.
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("i" "Idea" entry
(file+headline "~/Dropbox/org/ideas.org" "Idea")
"* Idea: %?
")
("n" "Note" entry
(file+headline "~/Dropbox/org/notes.org" "Notes")

"* TODO [#B] %?\nSCHEDULED: %(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil t \"+0d\"))\n%a\n")))
These are some other settings which I haven't sorted into categories yet.
