#+title: Doom Emacs Configuration #+AUTHOR: James Patrick #+SETUPFILE: ./dist/setup.org I'll fill out the how and why of this all as I figure out what the hell I'm doing. My current Emacs Configuration is a mess of copy and pasted snippet loosely grouped together. There's a fair number of work around, to transient configuration issues that now no longer exist, and more of stuff cribbed off StackOverflow & held together with string & bubble gum. While not yet calling Configuration Bankrupt's, I am going to try to see if I can restructure this technical debt. This Emacs configuration is written using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming][Literate Programming]] (sort of) paradigm (well sort of) proposed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth][Donald Knuth]] in 1984, and uses Hlissner's awesome [[https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs][Doom Emacs]] configuration framework. While I like Literate Programming, literate configuration can be a mixed bag. Literate Programming produces more prose then code. Discoverability & readability can be drowned out under the prose about the current thoughts, pros & cons, backstory, deciding thoughts, & moral pondering. While this verbosity[fn:4] aids documentation and understanding, its often at the cost of readability. As a compromise I'm going to version both to the verbose =config.org= file and all of the produced configuration files; this will allow us to =git blame= both the this file and the generated files. * Document Structure ** Doom Emacs I'm utilizing Hlissner's [[https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs][Doom Emacs]] frameworks. Doom Emac's configuration is divided into 150 modules, & fair number of convenience functions. Rather than detailing stuff about I'll say to go read [[https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/faq.org][FAQs]] & [[https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/index.org][Index]]. Configuration is located in the ~$DOOMDIR~ directory; this can be located either[fn:3] at =~/.doom.d= or =$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/doom=. ** Tangle This org-mode document works by using [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-Source-Code.html][tangles]]. By default Doom's literate config mode adds any ~#+begin_src~ blocks into the =config.el= file[fn:1]. If you want to tangle to a specific file you pass in a file name. #+begin_src org :tangle no #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle "example.el" #+end_src or to disable it tangling for a codeblock set the =:tangle= property in code block header to =no=. #+begin_src org :tangle no #+begin_src orgmode :tangle no #+end_src *** Noweb Reference This document uses [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Noweb-Reference-Syntax.html][noweb reference syntax]]. This allows us to extract bits of configuration into named codeblocks, which can be interpolated into another code block's variable. For example: #+begin_example :tangle no #+NAME: initialization #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq sentence "Never a foot too far, even.") #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb yes <> (reverse sentence) #+END_SRC #+end_example will produce #+begin_example #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb yes (setq sentence "Never a foot too far, even.") (reverse sentence) #+END_SRC #+end_example NOTE: unless you explicitly turn off the named code block will be tangled into =config.el=. Use the no tangle option if you want to disable this. ** Files tree There's a fair number of files located in ~$DOOMDIR~. Some are configuration, some are additional tooling not use directly by emacs. #+begin_src bash :tangle no :exports result :results output verbatim tree $DOOMDIR -L 2 #+end_src #+RESULTS: #+begin_example . ├── +keybinds.el ├── +orgmode.el ├── config.el ├── config.html ├── config.org ├── dist │   ├── bundle.js │   ├── code.css │   ├── custom.css │   ├── setup.org │   └── tufte.css ├── init.el ├── makefile ├── packages.el └── snippets └── org-mode 4 directories, 13 files #+end_example *** Emacs Configuration Files Doom will automatically load the following files. + =init.el= :: Enabled Doom Modules + =package.el= :: Packages to fetch from MELPA, Github, etc. + =config.el= :: General Emacs configuration Any additional files should follow the pattern of =+name.el= and should be scoped to that individual purpose. This should be loaded by the =config.el= file by using the =load!= macro[fn:7] e.g. #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no (load! "+name") #+end_src Currently this includes - =+orgmode.el= :: Additional configuration for Orgmode. Considering this is one of the primary modes I use emacs in there's a fair bit of configuration there. - =+keybinds.el= :: A relatively new and not fully utilized file. The plan is to use this as a centralized location for all custom keybinds. *** Other files There are several other files here not directly used by emacs but are related to it. - =makefile= :: Install script using make[fn:6]. - =dist/*= :: These are files used by the output of [[https://github.com/ox-tufte/ox-tufte][ox-tufte]].[fn:5] - =config.html= :: This org file exported from [[https://github.com/ox-tufte/ox-tufte][ox-tufte]]. This is not versioned. - =snippets/[major mode]/*= :: These are [[https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet][YASnippets]]. These are manage by this document. See [[*Snippets][Snippets]] for more. Everything else should be emacs configuration. ** Emacs file prefixing *** Lexical Bindings There [[https://nullprogram.com/blog/2016/12/22/][minor but non-zero start time benefits]] for using Lexical Bindings comments. All files created should start with #+name:lexical-binding #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp ;;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- #+END_SRC *** Warn user not to modify =*.el= files directly. As mentioned above, we are versioning the generated emacs lisp configuration. We shouldn't modified these files as they'll be clobbed anytime the org-tangle is run. Lets include a warning to this effect. #+name:modification-warning #+begin_src emacs-lisp ;;; This file is generated via tangles from the config.org file.

Start with a =map!= macro. You can use 2. When possible use =:when= to limit scope. 3. Use =:prefix= and =:prefix-map= where possible. 4. Always use =:desc= to describe what is being done.
