#+TITLE: Blendoit's literate GNU Emacs config

\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 /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 /modes/ have been written to interact with
hundreds of file formats, including =.txt=, =.pdf=, =.jpg=, =.csv=, and =.zip= just to
name a few. This configuration file itself was written in /Org mode/, a
collection of functions enabling the harmonious mixing of code and comments in
view of publication: this is the endgame of /literate programming/.

# ** Test

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

* Preliminary 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

** Profiling --- start

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

#+NAME: profiler-start
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
; (profiler-start)
#+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
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/init-custom.el")
  (load custom-file)
#+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/init-blendoit.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

* 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)
#+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

 Zoom in/out of selected buffer using Alt + mouse wheel.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (global-set-key [M-mouse-4] 'text-scale-increase)
  (global-set-key [M-mouse-5] 'text-scale-decrease)
#+END_SRC

* Packages

** 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

** 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

** Evil

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

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

** Org

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

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
  (setq org-directory "~/org")
  (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)

The following prettifies Org mode heading bullets:

#+NAME: org-headings-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

#+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.

*** 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'."

#+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

** Dashboard

We replace the standard welcome screen with our own.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

    (setq dashboard-startup-banner "~/.emacs.d/blendoit/img/logo-blendux_small.png")

** Projectile

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

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

   :init (projectile-mode 1)
         (setq projectile-completion-system 'ivy))
#+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.
