\begin{abstract}
GNU Emacs is most often used as a text editor.
The utmost level of customisation is afforded by enabling the user
to rewrite \textit{any} part of the source code and observe the editor's
modified behaviour in real time. Since its inception in 1984, GNU Emacs
has grown to be much more than a full-featured, high-productivity
text editor---new \textit{modes} have been written to interact with
hundreds of file formats, including \texttt{.txt}, \texttt{.pdf},
\texttt{.jpg}, \texttt{.csv}, and \texttt{.zip} just to name a few.
This configuration file itself was written in \textit{Org mode},
a collection of functions enabling the harmonious mixing of code
and comments in view of publication:
this is the endgame of \textit{literate programming}.

# * Test

# #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
# (org-babel-load-file "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/test.org")
# #+END_SRC

* README
:PROPERTIES:
:UNNUMBERED: t
:END:

The =README.org= was exported from the first section of my literate configuration
file, [[file:blendoit-init.org]].

* Document structure
:PROPERTIES:
:UNNUMBERED: t
:END:

** Blending Linux and Windows

The GNU Emacs cabal is attempting to create a complete OS out of a text editor.

Microsoft has a notorious /embrace, extend, extinguish/ approach when it comes
to rival technologies.

Both are simultaneously possible.

* TODO First-time setup

Spacemacs-like dialog for default settings.

#+NAME: first-setup
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  ;; Prompt enterprise or personal install. Create file in .emacs.d/ on Linux,
  ;; AppData/ on Windows. Ask user for details and preferred bindings.
#+END_SRC

* Early setup

** Garbage collection

First, we increase the RAM threshold beyond which the garbage collector is
activated.

#+NAME: garbage-collection
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq gc-cons-threshold 100000000)
#+END_SRC

** Emacs client

Makes opening emacs faster for following instances.

#+NAME: emacs-client
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
; (setq initial-buffer-choice (lambda () (get-buffer "*dashboard*")))
#+END_SRC

** Refresh configuration

Add an ~after-save-hook~ that tangles and loads this literary configuration.

# #+NAME: emacs-client
# #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
# (defun my/tangle-and-load-blendoit-init()
#   (org-babel-load-file "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/blendoit-init.org")
# )

# (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'my/tangle-and-load-blendoit-init)

# (my/tangle-and-load-blendoit-init)
# #+END_SRC

** Custom file

Load settings created automatically by GNU Emacs Custom. (For example, any
clickable option/toggle is saved here.) Useful for fooling around with M-x
customize-group <package>.

#+NAME: custom-file-location
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/init-custom.el")
  (load custom-file)
#+END_SRC

** Profiling --- start

We start the profiler now , and will interrupt it in section [[Profiling ---
stop]]. We will then present profiling report in section [[Profiling --- report]].

#+NAME: profiler-start
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
; (profiler-start)
#+END_SRC

** Customization shortcuts

We begin by defining a user shortcut to this very file:

#+NAME: shortcut-config
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun find-init-blendoit ()
    "Jump to this very file."
     (interactive)
     (find-file "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/blendoit-init.org"))

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'find-init-blendoit)
#+END_SRC

Now, different shortcuts for other customization actions:

#+NAME: shortcuts-customization
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c v") 'customize-variable)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c f") 'customize-face)
#+END_SRC

** Backups

Backups are so important that they should be described right after the shortcut
to this file.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq backup-directory-alist `((".*" . ,temporary-file-directory))
  auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,temporary-file-directory t))
      backup-by-copying t    ; Don't delink hardlinks
      version-control t      ; Use version numbers on backups
      delete-old-versions t  ; Automatically delete excess backups
      kept-new-versions 20   ; how many of the newest versions to keep
      kept-old-versions 5    ; and how many of the old
      )
#+END_SRC

** Secrets

#+INCLUDE: ./secrets.org

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq user-full-name "Marius Peter"
        user-mail-address "blendoit@gmail.com")
#+END_SRC

** File system paths

In this subsection, we tell Emacs about relevant paths to resources.

On my Windows machine, I add the path to Portable Git.[fn::Download from
https://git-scm.com/download/win]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(if (string-equal system-type "windows-nt")
    (add-to-list 'exec-path "C:/Users/marius.peter/PortableGit/bin/"))
#+END_SRC

* Global key bindings

The following bindings strive to further enhance CUA[fn::Common User Access.]
mode.

** Navigation

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-`") 'delete-other-windows)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-s") 'save-buffer)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-b") 'ibuffer-sidebar-toggle-sidebar)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-o") 'menu-find-file-existing)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-r") 'counsel-recentf)
;  (global-set-key (kbd "C-n") 'make-frame) ; 7aram!
#+END_SRC

The following bindings lead to more natural exit behaviors.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun delete-window-or-previous-buffer ()
    "Delete window; if sole window, previous buffer."
     (interactive)
     (if (> (length (window-list)) 2)
       (delete-window)
       (previous-buffer)))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-w") 'delete-window-or-previous-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-q") 'save-buffers-kill-terminal)
#+END_SRC

** Mouse zoom

The typical binding on both GNU/Linux and MS Windows is adequate here: ~C-=~ to
zoom, ~C--~ to unzoom.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C--") 'text-scale-decrease)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'text-scale-increase)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-+") 'text-scale-increase)
#+END_SRC

* Packages

Packages are collections of =.el= files providing added functionality to Emacs.

** Package archives

List of package archives.

#+NAME: packages
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (require 'package)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  (package-initialize)
#+END_SRC

** ~use-package~

Ensure =use-package= is installed, as well as all packages described in this
configuration file.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
    (package-refresh-contents)
    (package-install 'use-package)
    (eval-when-compile (require 'use-package)))
  (setq use-package-always-ensure t)
#+END_SRC

** TODO Convenient package update

One-function rollup of upgradeable package tagging, download and lazy install.

** ~ivy~

Auto completion.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package ivy
   :config
   (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t
         ivy-count-format "%d/%d "
         enable-recursive-minibuffers t))
  (ivy-mode t)
#+END_SRC

*** ~counsel~

  Wonderful counsellor!

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package counsel
   :bind ("M-x" . counsel-M-x)
   :config (counsel-mode t))

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-f") 'counsel-grep-or-swiper)
#+END_SRC

*** ~swiper~

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package swiper
 :bind (("C-f" . counsel-grep-or-swiper)))
#+END_SRC

** ~evil-mode~

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
    (use-package evil)
    ;; (evil-mode 1)
#+END_SRC

** ~org-mode~

Phew, I can finally introduce Org mode! I am so *excited*.

Org mode replaces aword processor, a presentation creator, and a spreadsheet
editor. IMHO, the spreadsheet ability captures more than 80% use cases wherein
one wishes to include a table in a text document destined for physical
publication. (It is clear that Excel spreadsheets are /not/ destined for physical
publication---simply attempt to print an Excel spreadsheet with the default
settings.)  In my opinion, Org mode matches all /useful/ features of the
Microsoft Office suite 1-to-1.

What follows are customizations designed to make Org mode behave more like
Microsoft Word. The end goal is, once again, to draw as many new users to Emacs
as possible!

*** Basic customization

Org base directory is in user home on GNU/Linux, or in =AppData= in MS Windows.

#+NAME: org-basic
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-directory "~/org")
#+END_SRC

First, we hide markup symbols for *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_ and +strikethrough+
text, and ensure our document appears indented upon loading:[fn::It /appears/
indented, but the underlying plaintext file does not contain tab characters!]

#+NAME: org-basic
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
  (setq org-startup-indented t)
#+END_SRC

Then, we customize Org headings to emulate WYSIWYG[fn::What You See Is What You
Get (input and output are identical), as opposed to What You See Is What You
Mean (the input contains instructions that can modify the output).] behavior
normally found in Word:

#+NAME: org-list-bullets
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (font-lock-add-keywords
   'org-mode
   '(("^ *\\([-]\\) "
    (0 (prog1 () (compose-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1) "•"))))))
#+END_SRC

- Look at
- This beautifully indented
  - List...
  - Of lists!
- (Rendered with pretty bullets in Emacs)

*** Org-bullets

The following prettifies Org mode heading bullets:

# #+NAME: org-heading-bullets
# #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
#   (use-package org-bullets
#     :hook
#     (org-mode . org-bullets-mode)
#   )
# #+END_SRC

*** Invisible edits

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-catch-invisible-edits t)
#+END_SRC

*** Agenda

The agenda displays a chronological list of headings across all agenda files
for which the heading or body contain a matching =org-time-stamp=.[fn::An
=org-time-stamp= can be inserted with =C-c .= (period)]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") 'org-agenda-list)
#+END_SRC

*** Timestamps

More literary timestamps are exported to LaTeX using the following custom
format:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-time-stamp-custom-formats
    '("%d %b, %Y (%a)" . "%d %b, %Y (%a), at %H:%M"))
#+END_SRC

*** LaTeX export

The following makes =CLOSED= items appear green in LaTeX. Very stylish, much
flair!

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-latex-inactive-timestamp-format
    "\\textcolor{ForestGreen!60}{\\textit{%s}}")
#+END_SRC

*** Publish

In the following /alist/ (association list), we describe the projects publishable
via =org-publish=. We separate the publishing of =.org= files and attachments,
because an online tutorial recommended we do so.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'ox-publish)
(setq org-publish-project-alist
        '(
          ("Safran-VIP-html"

          ("Safran-VIP-all"
           :components ("Safran-VIP-html" "Safran-VIP-static"))

          ("Safran-MA700-html"

  (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("AUTO" "babel"

                                           t ("xelatex" "lualatex")))
#+END_SRC

*** Export

This creates a shorter binding for the most common Org export: Org \rightarrow
LaTeX \rightarrow PDF.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun blendoit-org-quick-export ()
  "Org export to PDF and open.
  This basically reimplements `C-c C-e l o'."
  (interactive)
    (org-latex-export-to-pdf)
    (org-open-file
      (concat (substring buffer-file-truename 0 -3) "pdf")))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c e") 'blendoit-org-quick-export)
#+END_SRC

** ~undo-tree~

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(global-undo-tree-mode)
#+END_SRC

** ~dumb-jump~

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package dumb-jump)
(add-hook 'xref-backend-functions #'dumb-jump-xref-activate)
#+END_SRC

;        (local-unset-key (quote mouse-2))
;        (local-set-key (quote mouse-1) (quote ibuffer-mouse-visit-buffer))
;        (local-set-key (quote mouse-2) (quote ibuffer-mouse-toggle-mark))))
#+END_SRC

** Which-key

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package which-key
:init
 (which-key-mode)
;; :config
;;  (setq which-key-idle-delay 1000)
;;  (setq which-key-idle-secondary-delay 0.05)
;;  (setq which-key-show-early-on-C-h t)
)
#+END_SRC

** Company

#+NAME: company
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
#+END_SRC

** Flycheck

#+NAME: flycheck
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC

** PDF-tools

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package pdf-tools)
;; (pdf-tools-install)
#+END_SRC

** Dashboard

We replace the standard welcome screen with our own.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(use-package dashboard
  :config
    (dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
    (setq dashboard-startup-banner "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/img/Safran_logo.svg")

                            (projects . 5)))
    (setq dashboard-banner-logo-title "A modern professional text editor."))
#+END_SRC

** rainbow

This highlights hexadecimal numbers which look like colors, in that same color.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package rainbow-mode
  :ensure t
  :init
    (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'rainbow-mode))
#+END_SRC

** Projectile

This enables us to better manage our =.git= projects.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package projectile
   :bind ("C-c p" . 'projectile-command-map)
   :init (projectile-mode 1)
         (setq projectile-completion-system 'ivy))
#+END_SRC

** Better parentheses

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(show-paren-mode 1)

  (use-package smartparens
    :config
    (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'smartparens-mode))

  (use-package rainbow-delimiters
    :config
    (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'rainbow-delimiters-mode))
#+END_SRC

* Cosmetics

** Faces & cursors

In order to imitate other modern text editors, we'll resort to a blinking bar
cursor. We choose red, the most captivating color, because the cursor is
arguably the region on our screen:

1. most often looked at;
2. most often searched when lost.

The default cursor already blinks.

*** Default cursor

In files containing only fixed-pitch fonts (i.e. files containing only code),
the cursor becomes a high-visibility box.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default cursor-type (quote box))
#+END_SRC

*** Mixed pitch in Org mode

Fixed-pitch and variable-pitch fonts will be used intelligently in all hooked
modes.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (use-package mixed-pitch
   :hook ((org-mode . mixed-pitch-mode)
           (Info-mode . mixed-pitch-mode)))
#+END_SRC

** Initial frame

These settings affect the first and subsequent frames spawned by Emacs in
GNU/Linux. Frame transparency increases when focus is lost.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;  (if (and (display-graphic-p) (string-equal system-type "gnu/linux"))
;      ((set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha '(85 . 50))
;       (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(alpha . (85 . 50)))))
#+END_SRC

** Theme

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq custom-theme-directory "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/themes/")
(load-theme 'blendoit-light)
#+END_SRC

** All the icons

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package all-the-icons)
#+END_SRC

* Editing preferences

These customizations enhance editor usability.

A line of text is considered `filled' when it reaches 79 characters in length.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq-default fill-column 79)
#+END_SRC

We replace the longer ~yes-or-no-p~ questions with more convenient ~y-or-n-p~.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+END_SRC

Disable minibuffer scroll bar.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) nil nil)
; (set-window-scroll-bars (ibuffer-sidebar-window) nil nil)
#+END_SRC

** Clean up menus

Originally, I wished to inhibit certain entries in the GUI menus. Not worth the
effort at this time.

~menu-bar-mode~ is inhibited if on Linux.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq menu-bar-mode t)
#+END_SRC

** Coding standards

This is just a better default.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq c-default-style "linux"
      c-basic-offset 4)
#+END_SRC

** Dividers

This ensures users can resize windows using the GUI.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(menu-bar-bottom-and-right-window-divider)
#+END_SRC

** Tabs

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

#+END_SRC

** ~auto-fill~

Automatically break lines longer than =fill-column=.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
#+END_SRC

** Recent files

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (recentf-mode 1)
  (setq recentf-max-menu-items 25)
  (setq recentf-max-saved-items 25)
  (run-at-time nil (* 5 60) 'recentf-save-list)
#+END_SRC

* Late setup

** Profiling --- stop

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; (profiler-stop)
#+END_SRC

** Profiling --- report

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; (profiler-report)
#+END_SRC

* Conclusion

In this configuration file, we described a series of customization steps taken
to make Emacs more palatable to modern IDE users.
