My (very simple) Emacs config

matt · 1 year ago

deadgrep and treesit-auto seem really nice, added to my config!

I like it.

Didn’t know about apheleia, will have to check that one out.

Would you elaborate the part about home-manager? Do you use it to manage emacs packages?

@[email protected] · 1 year ago

Yes, I use home-manager to manage my emacs packages, among other things. Here’s the snippet that includes my emacs configuration. It’s in a file called common.nix which I include in my base linux.nix and darwin,nix configurations.

There is a bit dynamism in the config that makes lsp or eglot or vertico configurations active. There is a bit at the bottom of my init.el that includes those files if they are present. It’s not the cleanest solution, but it’s mine.

{ pkgs, ... }:
let
  # myEmacs = if pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin then pkgs.emacsGit else pkgs.emacsPgtk;
  myEmacs = pkgs.emacsGit;
  useVertico = false;
  useLsp = true;
  emacsWithPackages = (pkgs.emacsPackagesFor myEmacs).emacsWithPackages;
in {
  home.packages = [
    pkgs.tree-sitter
    pkgs.nixfmt
    pkgs.ripgrep
    pkgs.bc
    pkgs.file
    pkgs.syncthing
    pkgs.streamlink
    pkgs.unzip
    (emacsWithPackages (epkgs:
      [
        (pkgs.callPackage ./copilot.nix {
          inherit (pkgs) fetchFromGitHub;
          inherit (epkgs) trivialBuild;
          inherit (epkgs.nongnuPackages) editorconfig;
          inherit (epkgs.melpaStablePackages) dash s;
        })
      ] ++ (with epkgs.elpaPackages; [ transient ])
      ++ (with epkgs.nongnuPackages; [ go-mode magit markdown-mode webpaste ])
      ++ (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [
        apheleia
        deadgrep
        emojify
        eslint-disable-rule
        flymake-eslint
        minions
        treesit-auto
      ]) ++ (with epkgs.melpaPackages; [ nix-mode org-roam git-timemachine ])
      ++ (if useLsp then
        [ (with epkgs.melpaPackages; [ lsp-mode all-the-icons flycheck ]) ]
      else
        [ ]) ++ (if useVertico then
          [
            (with epkgs.elpaPackages; [
              consult
              corfu
              embark
              embark-consult
              marginalia
              orderless
              vertico
            ])
          ]
        else
          [ ])))
  ] ++ (if useLsp then [ pkgs.emacs-all-the-icons-fonts ] else [ ]);

  home.stateVersion = "22.11";

  programs.home-manager.enable = true;

  programs.bash = {
    enable = true;
    enableCompletion = true;

    historyControl = [ "erasedups" "ignoredups" "ignorespace" ];
  };

  programs.btop.enable = true;
  programs.dircolors.enable = true;

  home.file = {
    ".gitignore_global".source = ./gitignore_global;
    ".emacs.d/init.el".source = ./init.el;
  } // (if useVertico then {
    ".emacs.d/vertico.el".source = ./vertico.el;
  } else
    { }) // (if useLsp then {
      ".emacs.d/lsp.el".source = ./lsp.el;
    } else {
      ".emacs.d/eglot.el".source = ./eglot.el;
    });

  programs.git = {
    enable = true;
    extraConfig = {
      core = { excludesFile = "~/.gitignore_global"; };
      pull = { rebase = true; };
      init = { defaultBranch = "main"; };
    };
  };

  programs.htop.enable = true;
  programs.less.enable = true;
  programs.man.enable = true;
}

Thanks for sharing. It is useful for us noobs to have a look at the configs of more experienced users.

Any thoughts on going from a more in depth, or involved config to a more simple one? I’m somewhere in between, I use vanilla emacs but my config file is pretty large. Most of the largeness comes from an entirely custom set of keybindings. I’m wondering if I should switch to something like xah fly keys instead and just learn new commands/bindings as i go instead of making new ones as I go.
