emacs config

Emacs Version tested: 24.3.1 (stable) & 25.0.50.2 (dev branch)

Installation

Clone my repo

git clone https://github.com/map7/emacs-config.git ~/.emacs.d

Run installation script

cd ~/.emacs.d
./install

Manually

Install my sub modules

git submodule init

Based upon Cask & Pallet.

Install cask

curl -fsSkL https://raw.github.com/cask/cask/master/go | python

Add path to your ~/.zshenv or ~/.bashrc file

# Add Cask to the path
export PATH="$HOME/.cask/bin:$PATH"

Run cask which will install the pallet package management tool

cd ~/.emacs.d
cask install

Optional - Initialise your cask file from within emacs

M-x pallet-init

exwm - Emacs X Windows Manager notes

Setup the session

Copy the xinitrc.sample

cp xinitrc.sample ~/.xinitrc

Link it to .xsession to work with a desktop manager like lightdm as the default session.

ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession

Autostart GUI apps

To autostart things like dropbox or spideroak you need to put them into a file called ~/.emacs.autostart.el and this will automatically load.

Here is an example of starting dropbox & spideroak

;; Autostart Dropbox
(call-process-shell-command "(sleep 10s && ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd) &" nil 0)
(call-process-shell-command "(sleep 10s && SpiderOakONE) &" nil 0)

Multiple screens

Create a ~/.emacs.randr.el file and put the following

(setq exwm-randr-workspace-output-plist '(0 "LVDS1" 1 "LVDS1" 2 "DP2"))
(add-hook 'exwm-randr-screen-change-hook
         (lambda ()
           (start-process-shell-command
            "xrandr" nil "xrandr --output DP2 --right-of LVDS1 --output DP2 --mode 1920x1080")))
(exwm-randr-enable)

Remember to change the LVDS1 & DP2 to your screens which you can find out by typing in xrandr at the command line and looking for the active screens.

Requirements

ag - Compile the silver searcher, first check if you already have the ‘ag’ command

flyspell - install ‘ispell’

Specific package notes

paradox

If you want to use the paradox package list instead of the normal boring listing then you have to make a file ~/.emacs.paradox.el and add the following

(setq paradox-github-token TOKEN)

Where TOKEN is your github token.

Yasnippet + ruby

For ruby mode I use enh-ruby-mode, which is just a symlink of ruby-mode snippets. I’ve also added all the rails snippets to this as well.

org-clock-csv

Add the following to your crontab

# Export all my timesheets to a csv file
00 5    * * *   map7    /usr/bin/emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs.d/init.el -eval "(org-clock-csv-batch (org-agenda-files nil t))" > /home/map7/timesheets.csv
