Matthew Wraith’s Emacs Config

You should disable AppNap on macOS to have the terminal version of emacs work well:

defaults write org.gnu.Emacs NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES

On macOS Mojave, font smoothing is a weird thing, and you want to reenable it:

defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
