Bootstrapping the Emacs environment
To start with emacs, we need a ~/.emacs.d/init.el file that can be loaded.
This file will be tangled to a file called eos-core.el which will be installed
as the starting module in init.el loaded by Emacs.
Helper Methods
These are shell script helpers, a cache warming function that'll automatically
get added to eos-core.sh, and some functions that'll need to be sourced in
from other scripts.
test -f /etc/os-release && . /etc/os-release [[ $ID = "debian" ]] && sudo apt-get update [[ $ID = "fedora" ]] && sudo dnf makecache
function deb-install () { test -f /etc/os-release && . /etc/os-release [[ $ID = "debian" ]] && sudo apt-get install $@ }
function rpm-install () { test -f /etc/os-release && . /etc/os-release [[ $ID = "fedora" ]] && sudo dnf install $@ }
EOS Core Configuration Setup
Let's start with some personal information about me:
(setq user-full-name "Lee Hinman" user-mail-address "lee@writequit.org")
Always, always, prefer UTF-8, anything else is insanity
(set-charset-priority 'unicode) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-process-coding-system '(utf-8-unix . utf-8-unix))
Turn on syntax highlighting for all buffers:
(global-font-lock-mode t)
Raise the maximum number of logs in the *Messages* buffer:
(setq message-log-max 16384)
We don't really need to garbage collect as frequently as Emacs would like to by default, so set the threshold up higher:
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 50 1024 1024)) ;; 50 mb ;; Allow font-lock-mode to do background parsing (setq jit-lock-defer-time nil ;; jit-lock-stealth-nice 0.1 jit-lock-stealth-time 1 jit-lock-stealth-verbose nil)
Wait a bit longer than the default (0.5 seconds) before assuming Emacs is idle
(setq idle-update-delay 2)
line-number-mode displays the current line number in the mode line, however it
stops doing that in buffers when encountering at least one overly long line and
displays two question marks instead. This is pretty unhelpful, the only
workaround I've been able to find was to increase line-number-display-width to a
substantially higher value.
(setq line-number-display-limit-width 10000)
Make gnutls a bit safer, the default is an absurdly low 256
(setq gnutls-min-prime-bits 4096)
When I select a region and start typing, just delete the region automatically.
This ends up working great with expand-region
(delete-selection-mode 1)
Don't warn me about large files unless they're at least 25mb:
(setq large-file-warning-threshold (* 25 1024 1024))
If you change buffer, or focus, disable the current buffer's mark:
(transient-mark-mode 1)
Don't indicate empty lines or the end of a buffer with visual marks (the lines are cleaned up automatically anyway)
(setq-default indicate-empty-lines nil) (setq-default indicate-buffer-boundaries nil)
Turn off all kinds of modes, I don't need the menu bar, or the tool bar:
(when (functionp 'menu-bar-mode) (menu-bar-mode -1)) (when (functionp 'set-scroll-bar-mode) (set-scroll-bar-mode 'nil)) (when (functionp 'mouse-wheel-mode) (mouse-wheel-mode -1)) (when (functionp 'tooltip-mode) (tooltip-mode -1)) (when (functionp 'tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode -1)) (when (functionp 'blink-cursor-mode) (blink-cursor-mode -1))
Don't beep. Just don't. Also, don't show the startup message, I know Emacs is starting.
(setq ring-bell-function (lambda ())) (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
Why would you not want to know lines/columns in your mode-line?
(line-number-mode 1) (column-number-mode 1)
Ignore case when using completion for file names:
(setq read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t)
Nobody likes to have to type "yes" to questions, so change it to
just hitting the y key to confirm:
(defalias 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
Confirm before killing emacs, but only on graphical sessions
(when (window-system) (setq confirm-kill-emacs 'yes-or-no-p))
It's much easier to move around lines based on how they are displayed, rather than the actual line. This helps a ton with long log file lines that may be wrapped:
(setq line-move-visual t)
Hide the mouse while typing:
(setq make-pointer-invisible t)
Set up the fill-column to 80 characters and set tab width to 2
(setq-default fill-column 80) (setq-default default-tab-width 2) (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
Fix some weird color escape sequences
(setq system-uses-terminfo nil)
Resolve symlinks:
(setq-default find-file-visit-truename t)
Require a newline at the end of files:
(setq require-final-newline t)
Uniquify buffers, using angle brackets, so you get foo and
foo<2>:
(use-package uniquify :config (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'post-forward-angle-brackets))
Search (and search/replace) using regex by default, since that's usually what I want to do:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-s") 'isearch-forward-regexp) (global-set-key (kbd "C-r") 'isearch-backward-regexp) (global-set-key (kbd "M-%") 'query-replace-regexp) ;; This is usually bound to `C-M-l', but that locks the screen on linux, so bind ;; it to something I can use (global-set-key (kbd "M-L") 'reposition-window)
Just kill this buffer, don't prompt me. I'll use helm if I want to kill a different buffer
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x k") #'kill-this-buffer)
Single space still ends a sentence:
(setq sentence-end-double-space nil)
Split windows a bit better (don't split horizontally, I have a widescreen :P)
(setq split-height-threshold nil) (setq split-width-threshold 180)
Make sure auto automatically rescan for imenu changes:
(set-default 'imenu-auto-rescan t)
Seed the random number generator:
(random t)
Switch to unified diffs by default:
(setq diff-switches "-u")
Turn on auto-fill mode in text buffers:
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) (use-package diminish :init (diminish 'auto-fill-function ""))
Set the internal calculator not to go to scientific form quite so quickly:
(setq calc-display-sci-low -5)
Bury the *scratch* buffer, never kill it:
(defadvice kill-buffer (around kill-buffer-around-advice activate) (let ((buffer-to-kill (ad-get-arg 0))) (if (equal buffer-to-kill "*scratch*") (bury-buffer) ad-do-it)))
These are some settings for version control stuff.
Start a server if not running, but a only for gui-only:
;; Lame, server has bad autoloads :( (require 'server nil t) (use-package server :if window-system :init (when (not (server-running-p server-name)) (server-start)))
Prettify all the symbols, if available (an Emacs 24.4 feature):
(when (boundp 'global-prettify-symbols-mode) (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (push '("lambda" . ?λ) prettify-symbols-alist))) (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook (lambda () (push '("fn" . ?ƒ) prettify-symbols-alist))) (global-prettify-symbols-mode +1))
Emacs (foolishly) defaults to adding the --insecure flag. It also supports the
(incredibly broken) SSL version 3. What are you thinking Emacs!?!
Here I set it back to a sane value:
(setq tls-program ;; Defaults: ;; '("gnutls-cli --insecure -p %p %h" ;; "gnutls-cli --insecure -p %p %h --protocols ssl3" ;; "openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -ign_eof") '(;;"gnutls-cli -p %p %h" "openssl s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -no_ssl3 -ign_eof"))
Desktop Save Mode1 is the session management system for Emacs; it holds state of open buffers and session variables across instantiation of Emacs, which is super useful in mobile setups like laptops which reboot a lot. To make startup sane, I'm choosing to eagerly restore the 10 most recently used buffers on startup, and then in Idle the system will restore the remaining buffers.
I've recently disabled this, because I enjoy starting clean when I restart Emacs, so it's nice to have the option if desired..
Desktop+ will automatically save the desktop when Emacs exits
;; Disabled for now ;; (desktop-save-mode 1) ;; load all values eagerly (setq desktop-restore-eager 10) ;; Don't save TRAMP, ftp, or "KILL" buffers (setq desktop-files-not-to-save "\\(^/[^/:]*:\\|(ftp)$\\|KILL\\)") ;; Don't restore different frames, only restore the one frame (setq desktop-restore-frames nil) (use-package desktop+ :ensure t :disabled t :init (defun eos/load-default-desktop () "Load the default EOS desktop, assuming one has been saved with the name `default'." (interactive) (desktop+-load "default") (message "Loaded \"default\" desktop.")) (add-hook 'after-init-hook #'eos/load-default-desktop))
By default, my machine drops me in to a *scratch* buffer. Originally designed
to be an lisp playground that you could dive right in to on start up, it's sort
of eclipsed that for me in to a general purpose buffer, where I will put things
like elisp I am prototyping or playtesting, small snippets of code that I want
to use in dayjob, etc. But when you kill emacs, or it dies, that buffer
disappears. This code will save the Scratch buffer every minute and restores it
on Emacs startup.
(defun save-persistent-scratch () "Write the contents of *scratch* to the file name `persistent-scratch-file-name'." (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*scratch*") (write-region (point-min) (point-max) "~/.emacs.d/persistent-scratch"))) (defun load-persistent-scratch () "Load the contents of `persistent-scratch-file-name' into the scratch buffer, clearing its contents first." (if (file-exists-p "~/.emacs-persistent-scratch") (with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*scratch*") (delete-region (point-min) (point-max)) (insert-file-contents "~/.emacs.d/persistent-scratch")))) ;; (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'load-persistent-scratch) ;; (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'save-persistent-scratch)
I restart emacs a lot, and it is nice to have the history of things like M-x
saved across those sessions. savehist mode gives us that.
(require 'savehist) (setq savehist-file (concat user-emacs-directory "savehist")) (savehist-mode 1) (setq savehist-save-minibuffer-history 1) (setq savehist-additional-variables '(kill-ring search-ring regexp-search-ring)) (setq-default save-place t)
Toggle line wrapping with C-x C-l
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-l") #'toggle-truncate-lines)
Set up keeping track of recent files, up to 2000 of them.
If emacs has been idle for 10 minutes, clean up the recent files. Also save the list of recent files every 5 minutes.
(setq recentf-max-saved-items 300 recentf-exclude '("/auto-install/" ".recentf" "/repos/" "/elpa/" "\\.mime-example" "\\.ido.last" "COMMIT_EDITMSG" ".gz" "~$" "/tmp/" "/ssh:" "/sudo:" "/scp:") recentf-auto-cleanup 600) ;; Enable when running interactively (when (not noninteractive) (recentf-mode 1)) (defun recentf-save-list () "Save the recent list. Load the list from the file specified by `recentf-save-file', merge the changes of your current session, and save it back to the file." (interactive) (let ((instance-list (cl-copy-list recentf-list))) (recentf-load-list) (recentf-merge-with-default-list instance-list) (recentf-write-list-to-file))) (defun recentf-merge-with-default-list (other-list) "Add all items from `other-list' to `recentf-list'." (dolist (oitem other-list) ;; add-to-list already checks for equal'ity (add-to-list 'recentf-list oitem))) (defun recentf-write-list-to-file () "Write the recent files list to file.

(condition-case error (with-temp-buffer (erase-buffer) (set-buffer-file-coding-system recentf-save-file-coding-system) (insert (format recentf-save-file-header (current-time-string))) (recentf-dump-variable 'recentf-list recentf-max-saved-items) (recentf-dump-variable 'recentf-filter-changer-current) (insert "\n \n;;; Local Variables:\n" (format ";;; coding: %s\n" recentf-save-file-coding-system) ";;; End:\n") (write-file (expand-file-name recentf-save-file)) (when recentf-save-file-modes (set-file-modes recentf-save-file recentf-save-file-modes)) nil) (error (warn "recentf mode: %s" (error-message-string error)))))
Change the clipboard settings to better integrate into Linux:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) ;; Treat clipboard input as UTF-8 string first; compound text next, etc. (setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
All restoring window placement with Emacs' built-in winner-mode
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'winner-mode)
Save whatever's in the current (system) clipboard before replacing it with the Emacs' text.
(setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t)
Settings for what to do with temporary files. I like to put them all in
~/.emacs_backups if it exists, which puts them in a single place instead of
littering everywhere.
;; delete-auto-save-files (setq delete-auto-save-files t) ;; Create the directory for backups if it doesn't exist (when (not (file-exists-p "~/.emacs_backups")) (make-directory "~/.emacs_backups")) (setq-default backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.emacs_backups"))) (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs_backups/" t))) ;; delete old backups silently (setq delete-old-versions t)
Need to make sure the directory exists in the initializing shell script, so this
goes into core-eos.sh
mkdir -p ~/.emacs_backups
Before saving a buffer, cleans up whitespace only for the lines that I have touched. I used to have:
(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'delete-trailing-whitespace)
But this ends up deleting a looot of whitespace in my work codebase ಠ_ಠ, so now I use ws-butler.
(use-package ws-butler :ensure t :diminish ws-butler-mode :init (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'ws-butler-mode) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'ws-butler-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'ws-butler-mode))
On the other hand, auto-indenting can be really handy.
(use-package auto-indent-mode :ensure t)
Let's configure some popup rules, so buffers don't take over the whole workspace when they are popped up. I do this with Popwin
(use-package popwin :ensure t :commands popwin-mode :init (popwin-mode 1) :config (progn (defvar popwin:special-display-config-backup popwin:special-display-config) (setq display-buffer-function 'popwin:display-buffer popwin:popup-window-height 20) ;; remove compilation-mode from popwin, I want a full window (setq popwin:special-display-config (remove '(compilation-mode :noselect t) popwin:special-display-config)) ;; basic (push '("*Help*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*Pp Eval Output*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; dictionaly (push '("*dict*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*sdic*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; popwin for slime (push '(slime-repl-mode :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; man (push '(Man-mode :stick t :height 20) popwin:special-display-config) ;; Elisp (push '("*ielm*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*eshell pop*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; python (push '("*Python*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*Python Help*" :stick t :height 20) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*jedi:doc*" :stick t :noselect t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; Haskell (push '("*haskell*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*GHC Info*") popwin:special-display-config) ;; git-gutter (push '("*git-gutter:diff*" :width 0.5 :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '("*Occur*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; prodigy (push '("*prodigy*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; org-mode (push '("*Org tags*" :stick t :height 30) popwin:special-display-config) ;; Completions (push '("*Completions*" :stick t :noselect t) popwin:special-display-config) ;; ggtags (push '("*ggtags-global*" :stick t :noselect t :height 30) popwin:special-display-config) ;; async shell commands (push '("*Async Shell Command*" :stick t) popwin:special-display-config) (push '(" *undo-tree*" :width 0.3 :position right) popwin:special-display-config) (global-set-key (kbd "C-h e") 'popwin:messages)))
Undo-tree allows me to have sane undo defaults, as well as being able to visualize it in ascii art if needed.
(use-package undo-tree :ensure t :init (global-undo-tree-mode t) :defer t :diminish "" :config (progn (define-key undo-tree-map (kbd "C-x u") 'undo-tree-visualize) (define-key undo-tree-map (kbd "C-/") 'undo-tree-undo)))
Usually M-SPC is bound to just-one-space, but shrink-whitespace is actually
a better alternative because it can shrink space between lines.
Thanks to http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/delete-blank-lines-and-shrink-whitespace/ for the link to this package.
(use-package shrink-whitespace :ensure t :bind ("M-SPC" . shrink-whitespace))
Extended bookmarks, which I've started used for dired buffers and so on. I always have a bookmark for my Downloads folder as well as some TRAMP bookmarks for my webserver, in case I want to manually copy things around.
(use-package bookmark+ :ensure t :defer 10 :init (setq bmkp-replace-EWW-keys-flag t) :config (setq bookmark-version-control t ;; auto-save bookmarks bookmark-save-flag 1))
Anzu shows the number of search hits in the modeline, which is handy.
It can also be used for a "refactor-like" thing similar to query-replace.
(use-package anzu :ensure t :defer t :bind ("M-%" . anzu-query-replace-regexp) :config (progn (use-package thingatpt) (setq anzu-mode-lighter "" ;; spaceline already takes care of this anzu-cons-mode-line-p nil) (set-face-attribute 'anzu-mode-line nil :foreground "yellow"))) (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'anzu-mode) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'anzu-mode)
Also, add a thing for yanking the entire symbol into the query while searching:
(defun isearch-yank-symbol () (interactive) (isearch-yank-internal (lambda () (forward-symbol 1) (point)))) (define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "C-M-w") #'isearch-yank-symbol)
Automagically resizes the windows to be the golden ratio (1.618), nice when using a big font size and I need more eshell space
(use-package golden-ratio :ensure t :diminish golden-ratio-mode :defer t :init (add-hook 'ediff-before-setup-windows-hook (lambda () (golden-ratio-mode -1))) (add-hook 'ediff-quit-hook (lambda () (golden-ratio-mode 1))) :config ;; Default is 1.0, but I find this adjust just slightly less, which is nice (setq golden-ratio-adjust-factor .9) (defun eos/helm-alive-p () (if (boundp 'helm-alive-p) (symbol-value 'helm-alive-p))) (defun eos/ispell-running-p () (and (boundp 'ispell-choices-buffer) (get-buffer ispell-choices-buffer))) ;; Inhibit helm and ispell buffers (setq golden-ratio-inhibit-functions '(eos/helm-alive-p eos/ispell-running-p)) (setq golden-ratio-exclude-buffer-regexp '("\\`\\*[Hh]elm.*\\*\\'") golden-ratio-exclude-buffer-names '("*Org Select*") golden-ratio-exclude-modes '(messages-buffer-mode fundamental-mode ediff-mode calendar-mode wget-mode calc-mode calc-trail-mode mu4e-view-mode mu4e-headers-mode magit-popup-mode) golden-ratio-recenter t))
Add a generic cleanup method that can be called everywhere, bound to C-c n:
(defun untabify-buffer () (interactive) (untabify (point-min) (point-max))) (defun indent-buffer () (interactive) (indent-region (point-min) (point-max))) (defvar bad-cleanup-modes '(python-mode yaml-mode) "List of modes where `cleanup-buffer' should not be used") (defun cleanup-buffer () "Perform a bunch of operations on the whitespace content of a buffer. If the buffer is one of the `bad-cleanup-modes' then no re-indenting and un-tabification is done." (interactive) (unless (member major-mode bad-cleanup-modes) (progn (indent-buffer) (untabify-buffer))) (delete-trailing-whitespace)) ;; Perform general cleanup. (global-set-key (kbd "C-c n") #'cleanup-buffer)
Read-only viewing of files is quite useful. Keybindings for paging through stuff in a less/vim manner.
Make sure you install mupdf for the best quality PDFs on Linux and OSX. (brew
install mupdf on osx)
deb-install mupdf rpm-install mupdf

I also use the 'pdf-tools' package, which is really nice for viewing PDF
files. The only real caveat for it is that it requires you to do the M-x
pdf-tools-install every time the package is updated, to actually build the
tool that it uses.
(use-package pdf-tools :ensure t :when window-system :init (pdf-tools-install))
Expand region is useful it's insane.
(use-package expand-region :ensure t :defer t :bind (("C-c e" . er/expand-region) ("C-M-@" . er/contract-region)))
Mulitple cursors is like rectangular selection/insertion but on steroids
(use-package multiple-cursors :ensure t :bind (("C-S-c C-S-c" . mc/edit-lines) ("C->" . mc/mark-next-like-this) ("C-<" . mc/mark-previous-like-this) ("C-c C-<" . mc/mark-all-like-this)))
VLF lets me handle things like 2gb files gracefully, which is good, because sometimes I need to look at someone's 5gb log file.
(use-package vlf-setup :ensure vlf)
I use M-x proced a lot to get a top-like (or htop-like) display of processes,
kill them and all that, when I do, I want it to auto-update
(setq-default proced-auto-update-flag t) (setq-default proced-auto-update-interval 5) (add-hook 'proced-mode-hook 'eos/turn-on-hl-line)
I don't really need bi-directional display, so let's speed up long lines
(setq-default bidi-display-reordering nil)
Don't bother saving things to the kill-ring twice, remove duplicates
(setq kill-do-not-save-duplicates t)
Preserve the window location when opening things

Use a sane re-builder syntax so I don't have to have crazy escapes, see: https://masteringemacs.org/article/re-builder-interactive-regexp-builder
(setq reb-re-syntax 'string)
Set up the site-lisp directory so that things can be loaded from there if
applicable
(when (file-exists-p "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp"))
Ignore case when performing completion
(setq completion-ignore-case t read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t)
I occasionally use rgrep to search through code, and it can be pretty handy to
be able to refactor the name of a method or something by making the *grep*
buffer writable, that's what wgrep does.
(use-package wgrep :ensure t :init (require 'wgrep))
Increase the auto-revert timer from its default of 5 seconds to a more reasonable value
(setq auto-revert-interval 10)
GPG and gpg-agent (as well as SSH agent)
I use gpg-agent 2
as an ssh agent.
(defun tsp/gpg-version () "Return the version of gpg as a string" (save-window-excursion (with-temp-buffer (shell-command (concat epg-gpg-program " --version") (current-buffer)) (goto-char (point-min)) (string-match "gpg (GnuPG) \\(.*\\)" (buffer-string)) (tsp/str-chomp (match-string 1)))))
Before we start, let's install a nice little tool for setting up ssh-agent and
gpg-agent, keychain
deb-install keychain rpm-install keychain
And make sure bash uses it
eval $(keychain --noask --eval --agents ssh,gpg -Q id_rsa)
Let's make sure that all the GPG things we need are installed, and GPG-Agent is configured to enable the SSH agent support.
rpm-install gnupg2 gnupg2-smime deb-install gnupg2 echo enable-ssh-support > ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf ln -sfv $PWD/out/gpg.conf ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

Sometimes I use the OSX emacs-mac port:
https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port , which has a whole other set of
issues, so this is special handling of it…

Spell check and flyspell settings
I use Hunspell and Aspell checking spelling, ignoring words under 3 characters
and running very quickly. My personal word dictionary is at ~/.flydict.
While I used to use Hunspell, I've gone back to aspell because it's a bit easier to get up and running with.
;; Standard location of personal dictionary (setq ispell-personal-dictionary "~/.flydict") ;; Mostly taken from ;; http://blog.binchen.org/posts/what-s-the-best-spell-check-set-up-in-emacs.html (when (executable-find "aspell") (setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "aspell")) (setq ispell-extra-args (list "--sug-mode=fast" ;; ultra|fast|normal|bad-spellers "--lang=en_US" "--ignore=4"))) ;; hunspell (when (executable-find "hunspell") (setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "hunspell")) (setq ispell-extra-args '("-d en_US" "-p ~/.flydict"))) (add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '("[^\000-\377]+")) (add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '(":\\(PROPERTIES\\|LOGBOOK\\):" .

In most non-programming modes, M-. can be used to spellcheck the word
(otherwise it would jump to the definition)

Binding the EOS mega-map with Hydra
I'm used to not be a fan of hydra, mostly because I don't need popups for every little thing under the sun. However, I lately decided I wanted a unified interface to the parts of EOS.

Here's a Hydra for information about the system (and emacs) that I stole from a different user:
(defhydra eos/hydra-about-emacs () " About Emacs [_q_] quit ^^-------------------------------------------------------------------------- PID: %s(emacs-pid) Uptime: %s(emacs-uptime) Init time: %s(emacs-init-time) Directory: %s(identity user-emacs-directory) Invoked from: %s(concat invocation-directory invocation-name) Version: %s(identity emacs-version) User Info ^^-------------------------------------------------------------------------- User name: %s(user-full-name) Login (real): %s(user-login-name) (%s(user-real-login-name)) UID (real): %s(user-uid) (%s(user-real-uid)) GID (real): %s(group-gid) (%s(group-real-gid)) Mail address: %s(identity user-mail-address) System Info ^^-------------------------------------------------------------------------- System name: %s(system-name) System type: %s(identity system-type) System config: %s(identity system-configuration) " ("q" nil nil))
And finally, the main EOS Hydra for entry:

Multiple Emacs Perspectives with Eyebrowse
Eyebrowse is a great package for workspaces in Emacs.
(use-package eyebrowse :ensure t :init (defun eos/create-eyebrowse-setup () (interactive) "Create a default window config, if none is present" (when (not (eyebrowse--window-config-present-p 4)) ;; there's probably a better way to do this, creating four workspaces (eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-2) (eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-3) (eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-4) (eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-1))) (setq eyebrowse-wrap-around t eyebrowse-new-workspace t eyebrowse-mode-line-separator " ") (eyebrowse-mode 1) (global-set-key (kbd "C-'") 'eyebrowse-next-window-config) (add-hook 'after-init-hook #'eos/create-eyebrowse-setup))
Automatically saving files
I've experimented a bit with the different auto-save features that Emacs has,
super-save, auto-save-mode, and auto-save-mode-enhanced. They can be nice,
but they also have a bit of downsides…
(use-package auto-save-buffers-enhanced :ensure t :disabled t :init (auto-save-buffers-enhanced t) :config (setq auto-save-buffers-enhanced-interval 3.0 ;; Don't auto-save org source popups auto-save-buffers-enhanced-exclude-regexps '("Org Src") ;; Save things quietly auto-save-buffers-enhanced-quiet-save-p t))
