I'm not using Emacs anymore. Take a look at my Neovim config

My personal Emacs configuration

My old home-grown Emacs configuration with use-package.

Setup — How do you use it?

You need Emacs 25 snapshot builds, straight from Git master. Stable releases of GNU Emacs won’t work, I build GNU Emacs weekly.

$ git clone https://github.com/lunaryorn/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d
$ brew install trash coreutils
$ brew install aspell --with-lang-de --with-lang-en

plus all the standard tools for all the various programming languages (sbt, hlint, stack, pandoc, pylint and stuff). Read the comments in init.el for more information.

Layout — Where do you find things?

It’s a single big init.el, containing only use-package declarations for all the built-in and 3rd party packages I use. These declarations have all the configuration and setup for the specific packages.

There’s also lisp/ which has my own personal extensions and libraries with custom functions, etc. These libraries are loaded like normal packages with use-package in init.el.

Highlights — What you should probably copy from this!

• Very good OS X support, even with stock GNU Emacs, including a font setup that supports Math, Symbols and Coloured Emojis (yay 😍)
• A well-designed key bindings scheme, inspired by Spacemacs, supported by Which Key Mode and Hydra
• Rules for buffer displays in display-buffer-alist
• A very powerful and comprehensive LaTeX setup with AUCTeX
• Nice configurations for Scala (with Ensime), Emacs Lisp and a couple of other languages

Final words

Have fun, and copy freely! Please feel free to mess around, and take whatever you like! Credits mandatory (respect the license), feedback appreciated!

If you’ve got any questions about this configuration or have a cool extension to share please open an issue.
