** Original init.el
This file replaces itself with the actual configuration when it's first run. For easy installation, /this/ is the =init.el= file in git -- and you probably want to keep it that way. To keep git from trying to update =init.el= when it's re-tangled, type this in the repo:
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
git update-index --assume-unchanged init.el
#+end_src
If, for some reason, you want to change this original file to be re-tracked, run this command:
#+begin_src sh :tangle no
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged init.el
#+end_src
Otherwise, here's the actual, original =init.el= that tangles this Org file and gets us going.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(require 'org)
(find-file (concat user-emacs-directory "config.org"))
(org-babel-tangle)
(load-file (concat user-emacs-directory "early-init.el"))
(load-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))
(byte-compile-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))
#+end_src
*** TODO What I should do instead
Honestly, I should just change this "Original init.el" thing to a Makefile I can tangle in =config.org=, and track -- since it won't be overwritten or need any special =git= invocations to stop tracking it, I can edit it as I think about what would work best. I could also maybe give it more of a "cross-platform" vibe by installing, say, =straight.el= in the Makefile on Windows. One day ...
** Tangling
After our first tangle, each time we edit =config.org= we want to go ahead and re-tangle our config. To that end, I've written ~acdw/tangle-init~, which automatically tangles =config.org=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun acdw/tangle-init ()
"If the current buffer is `config.org', tangle it, then compile
and load the resulting files."
(when (equal (buffer-file-name)
(expand-file-name
(concat user-emacs-directory "config.org")))
;; Tangle and load init.el and early-init.el
(require 'async)
(async-start
(lambda ()
(let ((prog-mode-hook nil))
(require 'org)
(org-babel-tangle-file
(expand-file-name
(concat user-emacs-directory "config.org")))))
(lambda (response)
(acdw/load-init)
(message "Tangled and loaded: %s" response)))))
#+end_src
Since I want to tangle every time I save =config.org=, I've added ~acdw/tangle-init~ to a hook.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'acdw/tangle-init)
#+end_src
Finally, I want an easier way to load the generated init files than the old =M-x load-file RET ~/.config/emacs/init.el RET=. So I've written ~acdw/load-init~ -- which also gets called at the end of the async part of ~acdw/tangle-init~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun acdw/load-init ()
"Load my init files."
(interactive)
(load-file (expand-file-name
(concat user-emacs-directory "early-init.el")))
(load-file (expand-file-name
(concat user-emacs-directory "init.el"))))
#+end_src
** Miscellaneous bootstrappy stuff
*** Add directories to =load-path=
I also put lispy stuff in the =lisp/= subdirectory of my Emacs config, and under my SyncThing directory (for easy syncing ;P).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dolist (dir `(,(concat user-emacs-directory
(convert-standard-filename "lisp/"))
,(expand-file-name "~/Sync/elisp/")))
(add-to-list 'load-path dir))
#+end_src
*** TODO Require my secrets
While this is like, the /dumbest/ way to do this, it's what I'm doing right now. I'm going to slap a TODO on here because I really should make it better -- like, =auth-sources= hooked into KeePassXC somehow... ? Maybe follow [[https://www.billdietrich.me/Authentication.html?expandall=1#KeePassXCandSecretService][Bill Dietrich's setup]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'acdw-secrets)
#+end_src
* Early initiation
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :tangle early-init.el
:END:
Starting with version 27.1, Emacs loads =early-init.el= /before/ =init.el=, setting up early stuff like package management, etc. Since I use an alternative package manager, I have to bootstrap it here.
Of course, I also want to set some really early-on settings here too, like =load-prefer-newer= -- why not?
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :comments no
;; early-init.el -*- lexical-binding: t; no-byte-compile: t -*-
(setq load-prefer-newer t)
#+end_src
** Increase the garbage collector
Let's try to speed startup times by increasing the garbage collector's threshold while running init. Note the hook afterwards that restores it to a reasonable default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 100 100 1000))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
(lambda ()
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 100 100 100))
(message "gc-cons-threshold restored to %S"
gc-cons-threshold)))
#+end_src
** Add more paths to the =exec-path=
When using Windows (at work), I need to use the PortableGit installation I've downloaded, since I don't have Admin privileges.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
(dolist (path '("c:/Users/aduckworth/Downloads/emacs/bin"
"C:/Users/aduckworth/Downloads/PortableGit/bin"
"C:/Users/aduckworth/Downloads/PortableGit/usr/bin"))
(add-to-list 'exec-path path)))
#+end_src
Elsewhere, I want to add a few more paths to the =exec-path= as well, since I store scripts in a couple of places at ~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(dolist (path `(,(expand-file-name "bin"
user-emacs-directory)
,(expand-file-name "~/bin")
,(expand-file-name "~/.local/bin")
,(expand-file-name "~/Scripts")))
(add-to-list 'exec-path path))
#+end_src
** Bootstrap [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight.el]]
So far, this is the best package manager I've used. It allows for /truly/ declarative package management (if I don't specify a package here, it doesn't get loaded), easy installation from pretty much any source (as long as it's got a git repo), /and/ it hooks into =use-package=!
The one annoying thing is that this bootstrap code doesn't work on Windows for some reason. I'm too lazy to really try and figure out why, so when I need to bootstrap on Windows (pretty rare, TBH), I just [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/archive/master.zip][download the master-branch zip file]] and extract it to =~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/=.
#+NAME: straight-bootstrap
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
(expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
user-emacs-directory))
(bootstrap-version 5))
(unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
(with-current-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
(goto-char (point-max))
(eval-print-last-sexp)))
(load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
#+end_src
** ... but first: override the definition of straight.el to use the =develop= branch
For the KeePassXC bits later, I need the =develop= branch of straight, so I can pass a =:build= keyword. I can do this, but I have to override the recipe for =straight.el= itself. I do that here. For more information, see [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el#overriding-recipes][the README]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb yes :tangle no
(setq straight-repository-branch "develop")
<<straight-bootstrap>>
#+end_src
** Use [[https://jwiegley.github.io/use-package/][use-package]]
Like I said, =straight.el= hooks into =use-package= easily. These two lines get the latter to use the former by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq straight-use-package-by-default t)
(straight-use-package 'use-package)
#+end_src
** Keep =~/.emacs.d= tidy with [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]]
I'll be honest -- I don't really notice this package. But I think that's the point. It keeps Emacs (and packages) from throwing files all over the place, so I have a clean =ls -l=. Since I want to run this code as early as possible, I use the =straight-use-package= form instead of =use-package=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(straight-use-package 'no-littering)
(require 'no-littering)
#+end_src
** Additional =use-package= keywords
*** [[https://github.com/a13/use-package-custom-update][:custom-update]]
The =:custom-update= keyword lets me do this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(use-package package
:custom-update
(package-list '(1 2 3)))
#+end_src
instead of this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(use-package package
:config
(add-to-list 'package-list '(1 2 3)))
#+end_src
It's not ... perfect, but it's kind of nice.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package use-package-custom-update
:straight (use-package-custom-update
:host github
:repo "a13/use-package-custom-update"))
#+end_src
** Setup [[https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-async][async]]
I thought this was included in Emacs at first, but it's not -- so we need to install and require it.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(straight-use-package 'async)
(require 'async)
#+end_src
* Macros
** Customizing variables
I like =use-package= a lot, but I don't like using those shims you see in a lot of other Emacs configs where they use ~(use-package emacs)~ forms and stuff like that -- it just feels dirty. Plus, =straight= gets confused about those packages sometimes. So, since I'm actually /configuring/ Emacs in this Org file, which is nicely organized anyway, I can just set settings the old-school way.
Except. Using =setq= is actually /not/ recommended any more, because =customize-set-variable= is more expressive and can include side-effects. However, not all settings are customizable, /and/ =customize-set-variable= is like, way longer to type. So I've decided to write a little macro (my first!) to copy =use-package='s =:custom= keyword, except ... /outside/ =use-package=. I've called it =cuss=, because I have a terrible sense of humor.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defmacro cuss (var val)
"Basically `use-package''s `:custom', but without using either."
`(progn
(funcall (or (get ',var 'custom-set) #'set-default)
',var ,val)))
#+end_src
* Theme: [[https://protesilaos.com/modus-themes/][Modus]]
Protesilaos Stavrou's /excellent/ theme pair. At some point I'll probably write my own that's really minimal and does some funky stuff with faces, but until then, these really are the best I've used.
He's recently updated the themes to 1.0.0, with a refactor and betterment; my config here reflects that change.

#+end_src
Due to the new =modus-themes-load-operandi= and =modus-themes-load-vivendi= funcitons, I don't need =theme-changer= any more -- but I still need to set up the themes to change at sunrise and sunset. Well, I'll do that later -- for now I'll use a key to toggle them.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
* GUI
** Frame defaults
I want no toolbar, menubar, or scrollbars (ideally I'd have a vertical scrollbar if necessary, but apparently that's too much to ask the Emacs devs); and fringes and window dividers 2 pixels wide.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss default-frame-alist

(menu-bar-lines . 0)

(left-fringe-width . 2)
(right-fringe-width . 2)))
#+end_src
** Minibuffer window/frame defaults
Of course, on the minibuffer, I want to make sure there's no scrollbar -- even if I change my mind on =vertical-scroll-bars=, above.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss minibuffer-frame-alist
'((width . 80)
(height . 2)
(vertical-scrollbars . nil)))
(set-window-scroll-bars (minibuffer-window) nil nil)
#+end_src
** Remove unneeded GUI elements
The [[*Frame defaults][Frame Defaults]] section sets up the frame to be free of visual clutter, but /this/ section allows us to toggle that clutter's visibility easily, with one call to each of these functions.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(horizontal-scroll-bar-mode -1)
#+end_src
** Silky scrolling
from [[https://pizza.eli.li/wiki/emacs-config/][elioat]]. I think it's causing a slowdown in scrolling for me, so I'm disabling it until I figure that out.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(cuss scroll-margin 0)
(cuss scroll-conservatively 10000)
(cuss scroll-preserve-screen-position t)
(cuss auto-window-vscroll nil)
#+end_src
** Tabs
I'm kind of getting into Emacs tabs -- but I like not showing the =tab-bar= when there's only one.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss tab-bar-show 1)
(cuss tab-bar-tab-name-function 'tab-bar-tab-name-current-with-count)
#+end_src
** Word wrap and operate visually
=global-visual-line-mode= is one of those which, in my opinion, should be a default. There's only one place I don't want to wrap words, and that's in =dired=, which I can set individually in its config.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(global-visual-line-mode 1)
#+end_src
** Modeline
*** [[https://github.com/Malabarba/smart-mode-line][smart-mode-line]]
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package smart-mode-line
:custom
(sml/no-confirm-load-theme t)
:config
(sml/setup))
#+end_src
*** [[https://github.com/Malabarba/rich-minority][rich-minority]]
=smart-mode-line= comes with =rich-minority= for taking care of minor modes in the modeline, so I'm not going to /also/ use =diminish= or anything. However, =rich-minority= has kind of a hinky way of adding modes to the whitelist, so I had to write my own function to do so.
This confuration means that, by default, no minor modes are shown; if you want a minor mode to be shown (like =word-count-mode= for me), call ~(rm/whitelist-add "REGEXP")~.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun rm/whitelist-add (regexp)
"Add a REGEXP to the whitelist for `rich-minority'."
(if (listp 'rm--whitelist-regexps)
(add-to-list 'rm--whitelist-regexps regexp)
(setq rm--whitelist-regexps `(,regexp)))
(setq rm-whitelist
(mapconcat 'identity rm--whitelist-regexps "\\|")))
(use-package rich-minority
:config
(rm/whitelist-add "^$"))
#+end_src
*** Which-function-mode
Show the name of the current function in the modeline. Also works in Org mode to display the current header. Very cool!
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(which-function-mode 1)
#+end_src
** Minibuffer
*** Keep cursor from going into the prompt
from [[http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_stop_cursor_enter_prompt.html][Ergo Emacs]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss minibuffer-prompt-properties
'(read-only t cursor-intangible t face minibuffer-prompt))
#+end_src
** Show =^L= as a line
I like using the form-feed character to separate pages, it turns out. 'Tis nice. This package turns that character into a nice long line.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package form-feed
:hook
((text-mode prog-mode) . form-feed-mode))
#+end_src
** Cursor
I want my cursor to be a bar in focused windows, but a hollow box in non-focused windows.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss cursor-type 'bar)
(cuss cursor-in-non-selected-windows 'hollow)
#+end_src
** Buffer decorations
*** Show buffer boundaries
These little L-shaped graphics at the top and bottom of buffers don't do anything, but I like 'em.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss indicate-buffer-boundaries
'((top . right)

#+end_src
*** Indicate empty lines at the end of the buffer
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src
* Typesetting
** Fonts
This is the best way I've come up with to specify a number of different fonts that apply depending on what's applied. To be honest, I didn't really come up with the =font-candidate= function, though -- I got it from the [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#toc11]["Testing if fonts are available?"]] section of the SetFonts page on EmacsWiki.
See [[https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/12351/when-to-call-find-font-if-launching-emacs-in-daemon-mode][this StackExchange question and answer]] for more information on why I have these font settings applied in a hook.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'cl)
(defun font-candidate (&rest fonts)
(loop for font in fonts
when (find-font (font-spec :name font))
return font))
(defun acdw/setup-fonts ()
"Setup fonts. This has to happen after the frame is set up for

(remove-hook 'focus-in-hook #'acdw/setup-fonts))
(add-hook 'focus-in-hook #'acdw/setup-fonts)
#+end_src
** [[https://github.com/rolandwalker/unicode-fonts][unicode-fonts]]
This does something similar to the above code, but for the entirety of the Unicode field (I think).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package unicode-fonts
:config
(unicode-fonts-setup))
#+end_src
** Variable pitch faces
One reason I like the Modus themes so much is that they have /excellent/ support for variable-pitch faces, and mixing them with fixed-pitch faces in, say, Org Mode. That means I can enable =variable-pitch-mode= in all my =text-mode=-derived buffers.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'variable-pitch-mode)
#+end_src
** Padding
This has been taken from [[https://lepisma.xyz/2017/10/28/ricing-org-mode/]["Ricing Org Mode"]] -- of course, I want the typographic niceties everywhere.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss line-spacing 0.1)
#+end_src
* Ease of use
** Startup
I want a minimal screen when I start Emacs. Based on the beauty of configs like [[https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs][Nicolas Rougier's]] [[https://github.com/rougier/emacs-splash][splash screen]] [[https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs][experiments]], I might try my hand at some kind of splash screen or dashboard -- but until then, a simple "Hi there!" will suffice 😎
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss inhibit-startup-buffer-menu t)
(cuss inhibit-startup-screen t)
(cuss initial-buffer-choice t)
(cuss initial-scratch-message ";; Hi there!\n")
#+end_src
** Don't use =customize=
I use customize to discover different things Emacs can do, but I (a) don't want to write the customizations to my =init.el= and (b) I don't want to load them on startup. One source of truth for me thanks!
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss custom-file
(no-littering-expand-etc-file-name "custom.el"))
#+end_src
** Completing-read niceties
=completing-read= is Emacs's selection-narrowing-slash-completion framework thing. There's a bunch of packages for it, including =ido=, =icomplete=, =ivy=, and =helm=. I use raxod52's =selectrum= and others, which /extend/ without /clobbering/ existing Emacs functionality. Plus they seem to run faster, at least on Windows.
*** [[https://github.com/raxod502/selectrum][selectrum]]
=selectrum= is the basic /sorting and selecting items from a list/ functionality. It's a drop-in replacement for =ido= or the really basic tab-completion Emacs has for, say, =find-file=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package selectrum
:config
(selectrum-mode 1))
#+end_src
*** [[https://github.com/raxod502/prescient.el][prescient]]
=prescient= helps =selectrum= be more intelligent about sorting the candidates in a list -- it's in charge of the /filtering and sorting/ bit of =completing-read= and friends. It has an algorithm that works well enough for me, though I keep hearing about [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]], enough to maybe try it as well sometime.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package prescient
:config
(prescient-persist-mode 1))
(use-package selectrum-prescient
:after (selectrum prescient)
:config
(selectrum-prescient-mode 1))
#+end_src
*** [[https://github.com/minad/cconsult][consult]]
=consult= is the newest package I have with this setup, and it kind of brings the =selectrum= experience up to par with =ivy='s -- it provides functions that list, say, recently used files /alongside/ buffers, allow you to search lines and go to them, etc. It seems pretty nice so far.
By the way, the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/k3c0u7][Reddit announcement thread for consult]] has a great comment by the author detailing [[https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/k3c0u7/consult_counselswiper_alternative_for/ge460z3/][the differences between different completing-read implementations]] that actually is what convinced me to try =consult=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

*** [[https://github.com/minad/marginalia/][Marginalia]]
These provide /marginalia/ in the minibuffer. Until like, December 4, 2020, they were part of =consult=. So let's try them out.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** [[https://github.com/raxod502/ctrlf][ctrlf]]
The biggest reason I use this over the default functionality of =C-s= is that =ctrlf-forward-*= wraps the search around by default.

#+end_src
** Miscellaneous settings
Maybe a better title for this section is *Other settings* -- or maybe I should put them somewhere else entirely.
*** Set =view-mode= when in a read-only file
=view-mode= gives easy-to-use keybindings, like Space for page-down, etc., which are nice to have when you can't edit the file anyway.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss view-read-only t)
#+end_src
*** Don't use dialog boxen
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss use-dialog-box nil)
#+end_src
*** Enable all functions
By default, Emacs disables some commands, because NeWbIeS wOuLd GeT cOnFuSeD or some ish. I just want to use the dang editor!
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss disabled-command-function nil)
#+end_src
*** Shorter confirmations
Instead of making me type /yes/ or /no/, just let me hit the /y/ or /n/ key.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(fset 'yes-or-no-p #'y-or-n-p)
#+end_src
*** Uniquify buffer names
This names buffers with the same basename (e.g., =~/.config/emacs/config.org= and =~/.emacs.d/config.org=) in a better way than the default (=config.org<1>=, etc).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'uniquify)
(cuss uniquify-buffer-name-style 'forward)
#+end_src
*** Hippie expand
At some point, will probably replace with [[https://company-mode.github.io/][company]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

Similarly to =ibuffer=, this is a Better default™.
Of course, could be even betterered with [[https://github.com/mrkkrp/zzz-to-char][zzz-to-char]].

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-b") 'ibuffer)
#+end_src
*** So-long-mode
I figure, why not go ahead and make Emacs deal with really long lines better? Can't hurt, right?
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(if (boundp 'global-so-long-mode)
(global-so-long-mode))
#+end_src
*** Change =just-one-space= to =cycle-space=
I keep forgetting to actually /use/ this keybind (I think it's =M-SPC=?), but cycling spacing seems /way/ more useful than the default =just-one-space= function.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* Persistence
Honestly, persistence across sessions was one of the best things about my well-tuned Vim setup. Here's where I try to repeat that with Emacs.
** Auto-saves with [[https://github.com/bbatsov/super-save][super-save]]
The default =auto-save= functionality isn't ... /enough/ for me. I want to /actually/ save the files, and I don't care about =#file#= stuff. So ... I use this package.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package super-save
:custom
(auto-save-default nil)
(super-save-exclue '(".gpg"))
:config
(super-save-mode 1))
#+end_src
** Backup files
To be honest, I probably don't need backup files at all. At some point, I will probably delete this.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cuss backup-directory-alist
`((".*" . ,(no-littering-expand-var-file-name "backup/"))))
(cuss backup-by-copying 1)
(cuss delete-old-versions -1)
(cuss version-control t)
(cuss vc-make-backup-files t)
#+end_src
** Recent files
Since I apparently /only/ edit my =config.org=, this is also probably not necessary -- I'd be better off just adding a ~(find-file (concat (user-emacs-directory "config.org")))~ at the end 😎
But until then, it's really nice to have a =recentf= list.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'recentf)
(add-to-list 'recentf-exclude

** Undo: [[https://gitlab.com/ideasman42/emacs-undo-fu-session][undo-fu-session]]
The other Killer Feature of Neovim when I used it was the perisistent undo. I /think/ this works the same. Honestly, undo is giving me a little grief recently; I need to look into it.
Note to self: if I /do/ switch away from =undo-fu=, look at [[https://github.com/emacsorphanage/undohist][undohist]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

* General editing
** File encoding
I just want to use UTF-8 everywhere, and end all files with UNIX line endings (=^J=, or =LF=). Hell, even Windows Notepad correctly reads UNIX files nowadays (though of course you can't configure it to /save/ the files in UNIX-mode). However, since Emacs is ~40 years old, it has a billion different ways to set encodings. This is my best attempt at setting everything up how I want it.
I'm going to be honest -- most of this is a stab in the dark.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Find/replace: [[https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp.el][visual-regexp]]
Another replacement for a Killer Feature in Neovim -- the ease of regexp find/replace was so wonderful, because I could easily see /what/ I'd be changing with a =%s= command, as well as /how/ it'd change. This works... pretty similarly. It could be a little better.

*** [[https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el][expand-region]]
I don't use this a /ton/, but not because it's not useful -- I just forget it's there sometimes.

look at [[https://github.com/dieggsy/esh-autosuggest/][esh-autosuggest]] and [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-mastering-eshell][mastering eshell]] and stuff. idk.
oh and [[https://github.com/kyagi/shell-pop-el][shell pop]] too.
** [[https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools][PDF Tools]]
There's a few things that have to be installed to use PDF Tools, but I've got them installed on =larry=. Once I write them down, I'll expand this out to both my linux machines.

* Appendix A: Scripts
** ~emacsdc~
Here's a wrapper script that'll start =emacs --daemon= if there isn't one, and then launche =emacsclient= on the arguments. I'd recommend installing with ~ln -s emacsdc ~/.local/bin/~ or something. Then you can set it as your ~$EDITOR~!
#+begin_src sh :shebang "#!/bin/sh" :tangle bin/emacsdc
if ! emacsclient -nc "$@" 2>/dev/null; then
emacs --daemon
emacsclient -nc "$@"

** TODO [[https://github.com/rolandwalker/ignoramus][Ignoramus]] -- this might not e necessary
** TODO [[https://git.sr.ht/~iank/visible-mark][visible mark]] -- show where the marks are ...
** TODO consider this Reddit thread: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/k3xfa1/speeding_up_magit/][speeding up magit]]
** TODO [[https://github.com/legalnonsense/org-visual-outline][org-visual-outline]] -- interesting org organization tool
** TODO export org to ODT on Windows
Windows doesn't have =zip= natively (though it /does/ have =curl= -- go figure!), so the ODT export for Org-mode won't work. There /is/ a [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8625306/org-mode-zip-needed-how-to-over-come][StackOverflow discussion]] that mentions =p7zip= and a possible batch file, but I couldn't get that to work with a little testing. It might need more work.
Something that /did/ work was downloading =zip.exe= from [[http://infozip.sourceforge.net/][Info-ZIP]], and placing it somewhere in =exec-path= -- though of course, /then/ you need =unzip.exe=, apparently in the same folder. Git Portable ships with =unzip.exe=, for example, but even though it's in =exec-path=, org-export threw an error unless =zip= and =unzip= were in the /same/ folder.
So I might either (a) have to set up computers in this way when I use new ones, or (b) include both =zip.exe= and =unzip.exe= in /this/ Git repo, or ... something else. A true quandry.
** TODO Fix slowdown on =C-x 8 RET=
I think it has something to do with the package =consult=, because it was /slow/, but not *this slow* before installing it. Since it's slow anyway, I'm thinking I should figure out how to turn off =selectrum= when selecting a Unicode character anyway. Maybe advice?
** TODO Figure out Org-mode TODOs
I need some standard once, and also some specific ones for this section.
** TODO Add =C-z= as a me-mode map
I saw someone do this, and honestly it's a great idea. I could use it for my applications. Just have to find it ......
** TODO Really think about [[https://github.com/abo-abo/avy][avy]] again
It could actually be pretty useful, and it could be hooked into things like [[https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-link][ace-link]].
** TODO Test out [[https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el][multiple cursors]]
Allegedly it's really cool.
