#+title: Emacs Configuration

* Early Setup
Force the use of a =custom.el= file instead of appending to =init.el=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq custom-file (concat user-emacs-directory "custom.el"))
  (when (file-exists-p custom-file)
    (load custom-file))
#+end_src

Make Emacs use the correct =PATH= variable as macOS fails to load the =PATH= variable from my login shell.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun jj/set-exec-path-from-shell-PATH ()
    "Load the login shell's PATH variable manually because macOS doesn't behave well."
    (interactive)
    (let ((path-from-shell (replace-regexp-in-string
                            "[ \t\n]*$" "" (shell-command-to-string
                                            "$SHELL --login -c 'echo $PATH'"))))
      (setenv "PATH" path-from-shell)
      (setq exec-path (split-string path-from-shell path-separator))))
  (jj/set-exec-path-from-shell-PATH)
#+end_src

Suppress native compilation warnings and errors. Native compilation seems to be a little broken on macOS and the warnings are just annoying.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (setq native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors 'silent)
#+end_src

Bootstrap package management. I use =straight= with =use-package= to allow declarative package management and include =git= repositories in addition to =elpa= / =melpa=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defvar bootstrap-version)
  (let ((bootstrap-file
         (expand-file-name
          "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
          (or (bound-and-true-p straight-base-dir)
              user-emacs-directory)))
        (bootstrap-version 7))
    (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
      (with-current-buffer
          (url-retrieve-synchronously
           "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radian-software/straight.el/develop/install.el"
           'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
        (goto-char (point-max))
        (eval-print-last-sexp)))
    (load bootstrap-file nil ':nomessage))
  (straight-use-package 'use-package)
  (setq straight-use-package-by-default t)
#+end_src

* Appearance

Set up fonts. I use Source Code Pro (Nerd Font) for monospace and Computer Modern for variable width.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defvar jj/mono-font)
  (defvar jj/var-font)
  (pcase system-type
    (`gnu/linux
     (setq jj/mono-font "SauceCodePro Nerd Font-11"
           jj/var-font "CMU Serif-14"))
    (`darwin
     (setq jj/mono-font "SauceCodePro Nerd Font-14:weight=thin"
           jj/var-font "CMU Serif-18")))
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
               `(font . ,jj/mono-font))
  (custom-set-faces
   `(variable-pitch ((t :font ,jj/var-font)))
   `(fixed-pitch ((t :font ,jj/mono-font))))
 #+end_src

This block is the reason I use =straight= rather than just =use-package=. I have a custom Emacs theme that comes from my own fork of =doom-themes=. I also use =doom-modeline= and =nerd-icons= for a nicer-looking user interface and remove the title bar from the window along with any other unnecessary elements from the screen. =dired= is modified to use =nerd-icons= and colours.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package doom-themes
    :straight
    (doom-themes :type git
                 :host github

  (scroll-bar-mode -1)
  (tool-bar-mode -1)
  (menu-bar-mode -1)
#+end_src

Disable the default startup screen so Emacs starts in the =scratch= buffer and also defaults to an empty =scratch= buffer.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq inhibit-startup-screen t
        initial-scratch-message nil)
#+end_src

Tell Emacs to use line numbers by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)
#+end_src

Configure Emacs to default to spaces over tabs and use a width of 4 by default.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
  (setq tab-width 4
        c-basic-offset tab-width)
#+end_src

Install and configure =visual-fill-column= to make some file types display with a narrow window centred in the frame.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun jj/run-visual-line-mode ()
    "run visual-line-mode"
    (visual-line-mode)
    (visual-fill-column-mode)
    (setq visual-fill-column-width 100

    :config
    (setq visual-fill-column-width 100
          visual-fill-column-center-text t))
#+end_src

* Behaviour

Make Emacs scroll one line at a time instead of big jumps.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq scroll-conservatively most-positive-fixnum)
#+end_src

Make Emacs delete trailing whitspace on save. This does not happen in =markdown-mode= which sometimes needs trailing whitespace.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'before-save-hook
            (lambda ()
              (unless (eql (with-current-buffer (current-buffer) major-mode)
                           'markdown-mode)
                (delete-trailing-whitespace))))
#+end_src

Make Emacs create directories if they don't exist if the user selects that answer.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (add-to-list 'find-file-not-found-functions
               (lambda ()
                 (let ((parent-directory (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)))
                   (when (and (not (file-exists-p parent-directory))
                              (y-or-n-p (format "Directory `%s' does not exist! Create it?" parent-directory)))
                     (make-directory parent-directory t)))))
#+end_src

Disable the creation of backup files which pollute the file system.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq make-backup-files nil)
#+end_src

Make PDFs save where in the document it was last.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package saveplace-pdf-view
    :config
    (save-place-mode 1))
#+end_src

* Tools

Configure =dumb-jump= for better lookup.

    :init
    (add-hook 'xref-backend-functions #'dumb-jump-xref-activate))
#+end_src

          TeX-view-program-list '(("PDF Tools" TeX-pdf-tools-sync-view))
          TeX-source-correlate-start-server t))
#+end_src

Install and configure =fzf= to be used as a fuzzy finder.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package fzf
    :bind
    ("C-c C-f" . fzf)
    :config
    (setq fzf/args "-x --color 16 --print-query --margin=1,0 --no-hscroll"

          fzf/grep-command "grep -nrH"
          fzf/position-bottom nil
          fzf/window-height 15))

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package vterm
    :bind
    ("C-c v" . vterm))
#+end_src

Install =company= for completions. It is configured to start with no delay immediately after the first key press. =vertico= is used as a front end for completions. =orderless= is used to allow searching in any portion of a string and =marginalia= gives descriptions of items in the list.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package company
    :config
    (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
    (setq company-idle-delay 0
          company-minimum-prefix-length 1

    :config
    (add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-flycheck-mode))
  (use-package flyspell
    :hook
    (text-mode . flyspell-mode))
  (use-package flyspell-correct
    :after flyspell
    :bind (:map flyspell-mode-map ("C-;" . flyspell-correct-wrapper)))
#+end_src

Install =yasnippet= for managing snippets and =yasnippet-snippets= for a collection of useful snippets.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package yasnippet
    :init
    (yas-global-mode 1)
    :bind
    ("C-c s" . yas-insert-snippet))
  (use-package yasnippet-snippets)
#+end_src

Install =apheleia= and =clang-format= to automatically format code on save.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (use-package apheleia
      :init (apheleia-global-mode 1))
    (use-package clang-format)
#+end_src

Configure and install =elfeed= to serve as an =rss= feed reader. It stores the feed [[./feed.org.org][here]].
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package elfeed
    :bind
    ("C-c e f" . elfeed)
    ("C-c e u" . elfeed-update))
  (use-package elfeed-goodies
    :after
    elfeed
    :config
    (elfeed-goodies/setup))
  (use-package elfeed-org
    :config
    (elfeed-org)
    (setq rmh-elfeed-org-files (list "~/.config/emacs/feed.org")))
#+end_src

Set up =deft= for quick notes.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package deft
    :bind
    ("C-c d" . deft)
    :config
    (setq deft-directory "~/notes/"
          deft-default-extension "org"))
#+end_src

* Languages

Configure =org-mode=. I use =~/org= as my =org= directory and hide emphasis markers because it's much easier to read that way. I enable =org-crypt= to allow reading and writing encrypted =org= files. I also replace bullets in bulleted lists with nicer looking icons. I configure faces to default to variable-width font, but switching to monospace where it is necessary. Finally, I use =visual-fill-column= to make =org= files display with a relatively narrow window centred in the frame.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package org
    :hook
    (org-mode . (lambda ()

Install =cmake-mode=.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package cmake-mode)
#+end_src

Install =go-mode= and tools for =go= source code. Namely, =go-eldoc= gets documentation for =go= variables, functions, and arguments, =go-gen-tests= automatically generates tests for =go= code, and =go-guru= helps with refactoring =go= code.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
