The goal ;; is that you can read every line of code, top-to-bottom, understand ;; what your configuration is doing, and modify it to suit your needs. ;; ;; Once you've done that, you can start exploring, configuring, and ;; tinkering to make Emacs your own! That might mean leaving Emacs ;; Kick just the way it is for a while or immediately breaking it into ;; modular pieces. It's up to you! ;; ;; If you don't know anything about Emacs Lisp, I recommend taking ;; some time to read through a guide. ;; One possible example which will only take 10-15 minutes: ;; - https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/elisp/ ;; ;; After understanding a bit more about Emacs Lisp, you can use `M-x ;; info RET` (info) for a reference on how Emacs integrates it. ;; ;; Emacs-Kick Guide: ;; ;; Well, this config ASSUMES you already knows (neo)vi(m) bindings, ;; and the bases of how it works. This is the `Emacs config for ;; vimmers'. So, if you're not familiar with it, go for ;; `kickstart,nvim`, get used to it, and than come back. ;; ;; On Emacs help can be found multiple ways. ;; With this config, the leader key as SPC. ;; - SPC h i opens the info (Also `M-x info RET') ;; - SPC h v explores available variables ;; - SPC h f explores avaliable functions ;; - SPC h k explores avaliable keybindings ;; ;; If, at any time you need to find some functionality, Emacs `M-x' ;; (Meta is alt on most cases, option or command), works like a ;; command pallete, you can for example type `M-x quit' and be ;; presented with various options to quit Emacs. ;; ;; Once you've completed that, you can continue working through ;; `AND READING' the rest of the kickstart configuration. ;; ;; I have left several comments throughout the configuration. These ;; are hints about where to find more information about the relevant ;; settings, packages, or Emacs features used in Emacs-Kick. ;; ;; Feel free to delete them once you know what you're doing, but they ;; should serve as a guide for when you are first encountering a few ;; different constructs in your Emacs config. ;; ;; If you experience any errors while trying to install Emacs-Kick, ;; check the *Messages* buffer for more information, you can switch ;; buffers with `SPC SPC', and all options menus are navigable with ;; `C-p' and `C-n'. ;; ;; I hope you enjoy your Emacs journey, ;; - Rahul ;; ;; P.S. You can delete this when you're done too. It's your config ;; now! :) ;;; Code: ;; Performance Hacks ;; Emacs is an Elisp interpreter, and when running programs or packages, ;; it can occasionally experience pauses due to garbage collection. ;; By increasing the garbage collection threshold, we reduce these pauses ;; during heavy operations, leading to smoother performance. (setq gc-cons-threshold #x40000000) ;; Set the maximum output size for reading process output, allowing for larger data transfers. (setq read-process-output-max (* 1024 1024 4)) ;; Do I really need a speedy startup? ;; Well, this config launches Emacs in about ~0.3 seconds, ;; which, in modern terms, is a miracle considering how fast it starts ;; with external packages. ;; It wasn’t until the recent introduction of tools for lazy loading ;; that a startup time of less than 20 seconds was even possible. ;; Other fast startup methods were introduced over time. ;; You may have heard of people running Emacs as a server, ;; where you start it once and open multiple clients instantly connected to that server. ;; Some even run Emacs as a systemd or sysV service, starting when the machine boots. ;; While this is a great way of using Emacs, we WON’T be doing that here. ;; I think 0.3 seconds is fast enough to avoid issues that could arise from ;; running Emacs as a server, such as 'What version of Node is my LSP using?'. ;; Again, this setup configures Emacs much like how a Vimmer would configure Neovim. ;; Emacs already comes with its on package manager. ;; Others are available, but let's stick with the defaults when it makes sense. ;; ;; Requires the Emacs default package manager, so we can set it. Kind of an 'import'. (require 'package) ;; Add MELPA (Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive) to the list of package archives. ;; This allows you to install packages from this widely-used repository, similar to how ;; pip works for Python or npm for Node.js. While Emacs comes with ELPA (Emacs Lisp ;; Package Archive) configured by default, which contains packages that meet specific ;; licensing criteria, MELPA offers a broader range of packages and is considered the ;; standard for Emacs users. You can also add more package archives later as needed. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t) ;; Initialize the package system. In Emacs, a package is a collection of Elisp code ;; that extends the functionality of the editor, similar to plugins in Neovim. ;; By calling `package-initialize`, we load the list of available packages from ;; the configured archives (like MELPA) and make them ready for installation and use. ;; This process is akin to using lazy.nvim or packer.nvim in Neovim, which manage ;; plugin installations and configurations. While there are third-party package managers ;; available for Emacs, such as straight.el and use-package, we are sticking with ;; the default package manager for simplicity in this configuration. (package-initialize) ;; Define a global customizable variable `ek-use-nerd-fonts' to control the use of ;; Nerd Fonts symbols throughout the configuration. This boolean variable allows ;; users to easily enable or disable the use of symbols from Nerd Fonts, providing ;; flexibility in appearance settings. By setting it to `t', we enable Nerd Fonts ;; symbols; setting it to `nil' would disable them. (defcustom ek-use-nerd-fonts t "Configuration for using Nerd Fonts Symbols." :type 'boolean :group 'appearance) ;; From now on, you'll see configurations using the `use-package' macro, which ;; allows us to organize our Emacs setup in a modular way. These configurations ;; look like this: ;; ;; (use-package some-package ;; :ensure t ;; Ensure the package is installed. ;; :config ;; Configuration settings for the package. ;; ;; Additional settings can go here. ;; ) ;; ;; This approach simplifies package management, enabling us to easily control ;; both built-in (first-party) and external (third-party) packages. While Emacs ;; is a vast and powerful editor, using `use-package` helps streamline our ;; configuration for better organization and customization. As we proceed, ;; you'll see smaller `use-package` declarations for specific packages, which ;; will help us enable the desired features and improve our workflow. ;;; EMACS ;; This is biggest one.

Another popular ;; option is `neogit`, which provides a more modern and user-friendly interface ;; for Git commands in Neovim, leveraging features like diff views and staging ;; changes in a visual format.
