#+title: Nathan's Doom Emacs Configuration #+author: Nathan McCarty #+PROPERTY: header-args:emacs-lisp :tangle yes My doom emacs configuration * Basic Doom stuff The provided default ~config.el~ #+begin_src emacs-lisp ;;; $DOOMDIR/config.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- ;; Place your private configuration here! Remember, you do not need to run 'doom ;; sync' after modifying this file! ;; Some functionality uses this to identify you, e.g. GPG configuration, email ;; clients, file templates and snippets. It is optional. (setq user-full-name "Nathan McCarty" user-mail-address "nathan@mccarty.io") ;; Doom exposes five (optional) variables for controlling fonts in Doom: ;; ;; - `doom-font' -- the primary font to use ;; - `doom-variable-pitch-font' -- a non-monospace font (where applicable) ;; - `doom-big-font' -- used for `doom-big-font-mode'; use this for ;; presentations or streaming. ;; - `doom-unicode-font' -- for unicode glyphs ;; - `doom-serif-font' -- for the `fixed-pitch-serif' face ;; ;; See 'C-h v doom-font' for documentation and more examples of what they ;; accept. For example: ;; (setq doom-font (font-spec :family "FiraCode Nerd Font" :size 11 :weight 'semi-light) doom-variable-pitch-font (font-spec :family "Fira Sans" :size 15)) ;; ;; If you or Emacs can't find your font, use 'M-x describe-font' to look them ;; up, `M-x eval-region' to execute elisp code, and 'M-x doom/reload-font' to ;; refresh your font settings. If Emacs still can't find your font, it likely ;; wasn't installed correctly. Font issues are rarely Doom issues! ;; There are two ways to load a theme. Both assume the theme is installed and ;; available. You can either set `doom-theme' or manually load a theme with the ;; `load-theme' function. This is the default: ;; (setq doom-theme 'doom-solarized-dark) (use-package! solarized-theme :demand t :config (setq solarized-distinct-fringe-background t solarized-distinct-doc-face t solarized-scale-markdown-headlines t solarized-scale-org-headlines t) (load-theme 'solarized-selenized-dark t)) ;; This determines the style of line numbers in effect. If set to `nil', line ;; numbers are disabled. For relative line numbers, set this to `relative'. (setq display-line-numbers-type t) ;; If you use `org' and don't want your org files in the default location below, ;; change `org-directory'. It must be set before org loads! (setq org-directory "~/Org/") ;; Whenever you reconfigure a package, make sure to wrap your config in an ;; `after!' block, otherwise Doom's defaults may override your settings. E.g. ;; ;; (after! PACKAGE ;; (setq x y)) ;; ;; The exceptions to this rule: ;; ;; - Setting file/directory variables (like `org-directory') ;; - Setting variables which explicitly tell you to set them before their ;; package is loaded (see 'C-h v VARIABLE' to look up their documentation). ;; - Setting doom variables (which start with 'doom-' or '+'). ;; ;; Here are some additional functions/macros that will help you configure Doom. ;; ;; - `load!' for loading external *.el files relative to this one ;; - `use-package!' for configuring packages ;; - `after!' for running code after a package has loaded ;; - `add-load-path!' for adding directories to the `load-path', relative to ;; this file. Emacs searches the `load-path' when you load packages with ;; `require' or `use-package'. ;; - `map!' for binding new keys ;; ;; To get information about any of these functions/macros, move the cursor over ;; the highlighted symbol at press 'K' (non-evil users must press 'C-c c k'). ;; This will open documentation for it, including demos of how they are used. ;; Alternatively, use `C-h o' to look up a symbol (functions, variables, faces, ;; etc). ;; ;; You can also try 'gd' (or 'C-c c d') to jump to their definition and see how ;; they are implemented. #+end_src * Appearance and UI ** Centaur tabs #+begin_src emacs-lisp (after! centaur-tabs (setq centaur-tabs-set-icons t centaur-tabs-set-bar 'underflow centaur-tabs-style "alternate") (centaur-tabs-headline-match) (centaur-tabs-group-by-projectile-project)) #+end_src ** Mixed Pitch Mode Use mixed pitch mode in prose writing modes, to make the writing experience a bit more pleasant.

Vterm really doesn't like being installed through emacs on nix, so proper support for it in my setup requires installing it through nix like so: #+begin_src nix :tangle no let emacsPackage = (emacsPackagesFor emacs).emacsWithPackages (epgks: with epkgs; [ vterm ]); in { environment.systemPackages = [ emacsPackage ]; } #+end_src **** [[https://github.com/suonlight/multi-vterm][multi-vterm]] Add ergonomic support for multiple vterm terminals #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package! multi-vterm :bind (("C-c o M" . multi-vterm) ("C-c o m" . multi-vterm-project))) #+end_src * Programming ** General Editing *** Sepraedit Edit indirect for comments Set the default mode to github flavored markdown, turn on smart use of fill column, and bind to the normal edit-indirect keybinding. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package! separedit :bind (:map prog-mode-map ("C-c '" . separedit)) :config (setq separedit-default-mode 'gfm-mode separedit-continue-fill-column t)) #+end_src ** LSP Mode Custom configuration for lsp-mode *** LSP UI Turn on the UI features we want **** Sideline Show as much as possible in the sideline #+begin_src emacs-lisp (after! lsp-ui (setq lsp-ui-sideline-show-diagnostics t lsp-ui-sideline-show-hover t lsp-ui-sideline-show-code-actions t)) #+end_src **** Peeking Turn on peeking, and show us the directory as well #+begin_src emacs-lisp (after! lsp-ui (setq lsp-ui-peek-enable t lsp-ui-peek-show-directory t)) #+end_src **** Documentation Show the documentation in a popup frame in the top right corner #+begin_src emacs-lisp (after! lsp-ui (setq lsp-ui-doc-enable t lsp-ui-doc-position 'top lsp-ui-doc-show-with-cursor t)) #+end_src ** Rust Configuration specific for rust *** LSP Tweaks Most of these are defaults, but I like having them explicit for my sanity #+begin_src emacs-lisp (after! lsp-mode (setq lsp-auto-configure t lsp-lens-enable t lsp-rust-analyzer-cargo-watch-command "clippy" lsp-rust-analyzer-cargo-watch-args ["--all-features"] lsp-rust-analyzer-experimental-proc-attr-macros t lsp-rust-analyzer-proc-macro-enable t lsp-rust-analyzer-use-rustc-wrapper-for-build-scripts t lsp-rust-analyzer-import-enforce-granularity t)) #+end_src * Composition Modes for handling plain text and prose ** Markdown Everybody's favorite markup format *** Markdown mode Make the following configuration tweaks to result in a better markdown experience: - Use a variable pitch font (this is prose after all) - Turn on header scaling - Default to gfm mode for readmes - Turn on auto-fill mode - Hide mark up - Fontify code blocks with the language's native mode The goal here is to create a more pretty and fluid composition environment for prose, closer to what you would get in a word processor, but without the horrors of wysiwyg. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package! markdown-mode :mode ("README\\.md" . gfm-mode) :hook (markdown-mode . variable-pitch-mode) (markdown-mode . auto-fill-mode) :config (setq markdown-header-scaling t markdown-hide-markup t markdown-fontify-code-blocks-natively t)) #+end_src *** Grip mode Provide a live, rendered preview when editing markdown readmes using [[https://github.com/joeyespo/grip][grip]]. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package! grip-mode :bind (:map markdown-mode-command-map ("g" . grip-mode))) #+end_src * Applications Emacs is good for more than just editing text ** RSS Use ~elfeed~ for RSS. Doom provides most of the configuration, but we'll make a few minor tweaks: - Automatically update the feed when opening elfeed - Set default filter to only show unread posts - Put the elfeed directory in the org dir (I have it in syncthing) - Create a global keybinding for elfeed (~C-x w~) #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package! elfeed :hook (elfeed-search-mode . elfeed-update) :hook (elfeed-show-mode . variable-pitch-mode) :hook (elfeed-show-mode . visual-line-mode) :bind ("C-x w" . elfeed) :config (setq elfeed-search-filter "@4-weeks-ago +unread" elfeed-db-directory (concat org-directory "elfeed/db/") elfeed-enclosure-default-dir (concat org-directory "elfeed/enclosures/") shr-max-width nil) (make-directory elfeed-db-directory t)) #+end_src
