It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish. -- Neil Stephenson, /In the Beginning was the Command Line/ (1998) #+end_quote *Hello!* This is a literate configuration for [[https:github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs][Doom Emacs]]. ** Background; or, My Emacs Story Given that you are currently reading an Emacs config, I will assume that you already have a moderate understanding of what Emacs is and the ideas behind its configuration system. If you do not, then [[https://docs.doomemacs.org/v21.12/#/users/intro/why-emacs][this section]] of the official Doom Emacs documentation makes for a decent introduction. Rather than use this space to explain Emacs, I will instead use it to chronicle my history with Emacs, how I got here, and what lessons should be taken away from this experience. Don't worry, I promise it won't be long. *** In The Beginning My first brush with Emacs was in around 2019, when I installed it for use with the proof assistant language Agda. I had vaguely heard tales about its beauty and power, but I was nowhere near comfortable enough with config files and programming in general to fully appreciate its capabilities (not to mention that I was using Windows at the time). I bounced off of it pretty quickly because... well, vanilla Emacs is just kinda terrible. #+caption[Vanilla Emacs]: Look at this and tell me that it doesn't look at least a little awful. #+name: vanilla-emacs [[file:assets/vanilla_emacs.png]] A few years later in 2022, after I had moved to the more sensible OS of Arch Linux, I discovered that my preferred text editor [[https://atom-editor.cc/][Atom]] was in the process of being discontinued and began to look for a replacement. I tried Visual Studio Code for a little while, but after some serious use I became dissatisfied with how few options there were to customize it to fit my workflow. It was at this point that I started thinking about Emacs again. By chance, I happened to stumble upon Doom Emacs, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for: - Extreme flexibility - Robust modular configuration system - Sensible defaults - Extensive ecosystem As I became more comfortable with configuration via scripting, I immersed myself into the many utilities that make up the Emacs ecosystem: =org-mode=, =calfw=, =calc=, =mu4e=. I started putting more and more time into tweaking these applications to fit my needs, my files kept getting longer and longer, and eventually I fully fell off the deep end and now we're here. *** TODO Literate Programming My first Doom Emacs config was hacked together directly from the generated example config: no comments, no organization, nothing. ~after!~ and ~use-package!~ blocks were scattered about the file without rhyme or reason, making it very difficult to remember what any particular line of code was actually doing. I was able to mitigate some of this issue by categorizing my config into multiple files, but at the end of the day it was a losing battle. The config directory was at 1200 lines of code before I decided that something needed to be done. I was considering what to do about this problem of organizational decay when I came across [[https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html][Tecosaur's config]] and learned about =org-mode='s literate programming support. I had been using =org-mode= for several months at this point and was very comfortable with it, so utilizing it to better organize my code seemed like a good idea. *** =confpkg= As part of their literate config, Tecosaur implemented =confpkg=, an embedded Emacs Lisp library that manages multiple aspects of config tangling: - Controlling what files each code block is tangled to - Generating package files from templates - Automatically detecting cross-section dependencies - Reporting profiling information on config load times It's an incredibly impressive utility, and I highly recommend reading [[https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#rudimentary-configuration-confpkg][the section in their config]] on its design. I tried to read through it myself, but I don't understand half of it; it's a bizarre mixture of exploits to hook into =org-mode='s tangling process, self-modifying buffer shenanigans, and abuse of various features of =org-babel=. Luckily, I don't need to be able to understand code in order to do what I do best: press =Ctrl+C= and =Ctrl+V= in that order. Programming! If you're reading the raw org file instead of the published version, the code for =confpkg= is below. It is mostly unchanged, aside from these tweaks: - Prevent the code from being exported - Reorganize to get rid of superfluous noweb references - Change the package template to contain my information **** confpkg :noexport: ***** Preparation #+name: confpkg-prepare #+begin_src emacs-lisp (condition-case nil (progn (message "Intitialising confpkg") (org-fold-core-ignore-fragility-checks (org-babel-map-executables nil (when (eq (org-element-type (org-element-context)) 'babel-call) (org-babel-lob-execute-maybe))))) (quit (revert-buffer t t t))) #+end_src #+header: :tangle (expand-file-name (make-temp-name "emacs-org-babel-excuses/confpkg-prepare-") temporary-file-directory) #+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb no-export <> #+end_src ***** Setup #+name: confpkg-setup #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :noweb no-export (setq confpkg--num 0 confpkg--list nil) ;; Dependency handling (defun confpkg--rough-extract-definitions (file) (with-temp-buffer (insert-file-contents file) (goto-char (point-min)) (let (symbols) (while (re-search-forward (rx line-start (* (any ?\s ?\t)) "(" (or "defun" "defmacro" "defsubst" "defgeneric" "defalias" "defvar" "defcustom" "defface" "deftheme" "cl-defun" "cl-defmacro" "cl-defsubst" "cl-defmethod" "cl-defstruct" "cl-defgeneric" "cl-deftype") (+ (any ?\s ?\t)) (group (+ (any "A-Z" "a-z" "0-9" ?+ ?- ?* ?/ ?_ ?~ ?! ?@ ?$ ?% ?^ ?& ?= ?: ?< ?> ?{ ?}))) (or blank ?\n)) nil t) (push (match-string 1) symbols)) symbols))) (defun confpkg--rough-uses-p (file symbols) (with-temp-buffer (insert-file-contents file) (let ((symbols (copy-sequence symbols)) uses-p) (while symbols (goto-char (point-min)) (if (re-search-forward (rx word-start (literal (car symbols)) word-end) nil t) (setq uses-p t symbols nil) (setq symbols (cdr symbols)))) uses-p))) (defun confpkg-annotate-list-dependencies () (dolist (confpkg confpkg--list) (plist-put confpkg :defines (confpkg--rough-extract-definitions (plist-get confpkg :file)))) (dolist (confpkg confpkg--list) (let ((after (plist-get confpkg :after)) requires) (dolist (other-confpkg confpkg--list) (when (and (not (eq other-confpkg confpkg)) (confpkg--rough-uses-p (plist-get confpkg :file) (plist-get other-confpkg :defines))) (push (plist-get other-confpkg :package) requires))) (when (and after (symbolp after)) (push after requires)) (plist-put confpkg :requires requires)))) (defun confpkg-write-dependencies () (dolist (confpkg confpkg--list) (when (plist-get confpkg :requires) (with-temp-buffer (setq buffer-file-name (plist-get confpkg :file)) (insert-file-contents buffer-file-name) (re-search-forward "^;;; Code:\n") (insert "\n") (dolist (req (plist-get confpkg :requires)) (insert (format "(require '%s)\n" req))) (write-region nil nil buffer-file-name) (set-buffer-modified-p nil))))) ;; Commenting package statements (defun confpkg-comment-out-package-statements () (dolist (confpkg confpkg--list) (with-temp-buffer (setq buffer-file-name (plist-get confpkg :file)) (insert-file-contents buffer-file-name) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward "^;;; Code:\n[[:space:]\n]*(\\(package!\\|unpin!\\)[[:space:]\n]+\\([^[:space:]]+\\)\\b" nil t) (plist-put confpkg :package-statements (nconc (plist-get confpkg :package-statements) (list (match-string 2)))) (let* ((start (progn (beginning-of-line) (point))) (end (progn (forward-sexp 1) (if (looking-at "[\t ]*;.*") (line-end-position) (point)))) (contents (buffer-substring start end)) paste-start paste-end (comment-start ";") (comment-padding " ") (comment-end "")) (delete-region start (1+ end)) (re-search-backward "^;;; Code:") (beginning-of-line) (insert ";; Package statement:\n") (setq paste-start (point)) (insert contents) (setq paste-end (point)) (insert "\n;;\n") (comment-region paste-start paste-end 2))) (when (buffer-modified-p) (write-region nil nil buffer-file-name) (set-buffer-modified-p nil))))) (defun confpkg-create-config () (let ((revert-without-query '("config\\.el")) (keywords (org-collect-keywords '("AUTHOR" "EMAIL"))) (original-buffer (current-buffer))) (with-temp-buffer (insert (format ";;; config.el -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- ;; SPDX-FileCopyrightText: © 2020-%s %s <%s> ;; SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT ;; Generated at %s from the literate configuration.

On a Nix-based system, there are a few different ways to handle this: 1. Put that tool in the actual environment, e.g. in a profile. This makes sense for simple things (=ripgrep=, =sqlite=, etc) but for more opinionated things like an instance of Python it becomes less desirable. 2. Build the tool and put a symlink to the output somewhere, e.g. in the HOME directory. This avoids polluting the environment, but you still have to deal with an unwieldy symlink that breaks Emacs if you accidentally delete it. This was my approach before coming up with the third option: 3. Build the tool and point Emacs directly to the store path. This is the simplest solution, but requires the most complex Emacs configuration. This section is an implementation of that third solution. We first need a function to build a flake reference: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun nix-build-out-path (out &optional impure) "Build the given flake output OUT and return the output path. Return nil if the build fails. If IMPURE is t, then allow impure builds." (message "Building \"%s\" ..." out) (require 'nix) (require 's) (let* ((args `("build" "--no-link" "--print-out-paths" ,@(if impure "--impure") ,out)) (buffer (generate-new-buffer " *nix-process*" t)) (status (apply #'call-process nix-executable nil (list buffer nil) nil args))) (prog1 (when (eql status 0) (with-current-buffer buffer (s-trim (buffer-string)))) (kill-buffer buffer)))) #+end_src This works well enough if we just want to build something, but there's a problem: we haven't indicated to Nix that we want this output to stick around, so it will be deleted the next time we garbage collect. To fix this, we can write a wrapper function that also makes the output path a garbage collection root. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun nix-build-out-path-gcroot (name out &optional impure) "Build the given flake output OUT, register its output path as a garbage collection root under NAME, and return the output path. Return nil if the build fails. The GC root is placed under \"/nix/var/nix/gcroots/emacs/NAME\". If a call to this function reuses the same NAME argument, then the symlink is overwritten. If IMPURE is t, then allow impure builds." (when-let* ((path (nix-build-out-path out impure)) (gcdir "/nix/var/nix/gcroots/emacs") (sym (expand-file-name name gcdir))) (unless (equal path (file-symlink-p sym)) (make-directory (concat "/sudo::" gcdir) t) (make-symbolic-link path (concat "/sudo::" sym) t)) path)) #+end_src * Packages Now that we've enabled our preferred modules and done some basic configuration, we can install and configure our packages. Our ~package!~ declarations go in ~packages.el~, which must not be byte-compiled: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle packages.el ;; -*- no-byte-compile: t; -*- #+end_src Everything else goes in ~config.el~, which is managed by [[*=confpkg=][confpkg]] as outlined earlier. ** Company #+call: confpkg("!Pkg company") *** TODO Optimization *** Bindings When Company is active, its keybindings overshadow the default ones, meaning keys like =RET= no longer work.

This is because in ~org-mode-map~ =TAB= is unconditionally bound to ~org-cycle~, and for some reason this has a higher precedence than YAS's keymaps. While this is a complex problem, the solution is actually rather simple: just remove the ~org-mode-map~ binding. The ~org-cycle~ command will still be triggered on =TAB= when in normal mode, as it is bound in ~evil-org-mode-map~, but when in insert mode (as one generally is during snippet expansion) the binding will fall through both maps and be handled by YASnippet. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (map! :after org :map org-mode-map "TAB" nil "" nil) #+end_src This also means we don't need ~org-cycle~ to emulate indentation, which is nice. *** Appearance When marking text for =*emphasis*=, Org mode normally only allows emphasized sections to span 2 lines.

This worked, but as my notes grew more and more I've begun to increasingly rely on [[https://www.orgroam.com/][Org-roam]] to more systematically manage my organization. *** Concept Org-roam is inspired by Roam Research, and like that tool it is based on the Zettelkasten (slip-box) note-taking method. In the Zettelkasten method, notes and concepts are separated into small chunks (called "nodes" in Org-roam terminology). These notes can live freely in any file on your system, and are linked to each other through ID links, leading to a freer note system that isn't tied to any particular organizational structure or hierarchy. *** Task Management In my use of Org-roam for task management, I divide nodes into a few different categories: 1. *Areas*, which represent continual areas of your life to organize and plan; 2. *Goals*, short- or long-term, things that can be completed; 3. *Tasks*, which are one-time and contribute to goals or areas. Areas are stored as subnodes of the =Areas= file node, and likewise for goals. They also have the =:area:= and =:goal:= tags respectively. A task is a node that is a TODO entry that links to an area or a goal. We can thus check for if a node is a task by checking if the node links to a =:area:= or =:goal:= tagged node. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun ~/org-roam-get-linked-nodes (node tag) "Return the nodes that NODE links to that are tagged with TAG."
