Rahul Martim Juliato ae874711be fix(emacs): set indent-tabs-mode globally via :custom
Previously we used `(indent-tabs-mode -1)` in `:init`, but this only
toggles the minor mode for the *current buffer* (the init buffer at
startup). This was confusing, since `indent-tabs-mode` serves two
purposes:

- as a **buffer-local minor mode toggle** (function)

- and as a **global default variable** for new buffers

Because of this dual nature, the old code disabled tabs only for the
init buffer, while all new buffers kept the default (`t`).

We now explicitly set `(indent-tabs-mode nil)` in the `:custom` block,
making this assumption **global**: every new buffer defaults to using
spaces instead of tabs.

;; What is Emacs-Kick?
;;
;; Emacs-Kick is `not' a distribution.
;;
;; Emacs-Kick is a starting point for your own configuration. 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 is SPC.
;; - <leader> h i opens the info (Also `M-x info RET')
;; - <leader> h v explores available variables
;; - <leader> h f explores avaliable functions
;; - <leader> 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 encounter any errors while installing Emacs-Kick,
;; check the *Messages* buffer for more information. You can switch
;; buffers using `<leader> SPC`, and all option menus can be navigated
;; 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 wasnt 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 WONT 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 comes with a built-in package manager (`package.el'), and we'll use it
;; when it makes sense. However, `straight.el' is a bit more user-friendly and
;; reproducible, especially for newcomers and shareable configs like emacs-kick.
;; So we bootstrap it here.

(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)
;; 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.

;; 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 (used with package.el).
;; :straight t ;; Use straight.el to install and manage this package.
;; :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`—especially in combination
;; with `straight.el`—helps streamline our configuration for better organization,
;; reproducibility, 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.

;; videos and listening to music, to managing emails and even serving as a window
;; manager in Xorg, freeing themselves from traditional desktop environments.

;; improves visibility and accessibility. This is particularly useful when you
;; have many buffers open, allowing you to quickly find the one you need.

;; `lsp-mode' is included as a third-party package, providing advanced IDE-like features
;; and better support for multiple language servers and configurations.
;;
;; NOTE: To install or reinstall an LSP server, use `M-x install-server RET`.
;; As with other editors, LSP configurations can become complex. You may need to
;; install or reinstall the server for your project due to version management quirks
;; (e.g., asdf or nvm) or other issues.
