Custom Emacs configuration

This is the repository I use to store my custom Emacs configuration, so to easily keep my different Emacs installations (home, office, virtual machines, etc.) in synch without much effort, and also to version it in case some new extension or configuration i may add ends up breaking everything.

Installation

Not much to do here. Just clone the repository with name .emacs.d/ in your home, and copy the configuration file ~/.emacs.d/.emacs inside your home as well.

If you want to use another directory name, you'll have to edit ~/.emacs accordingly.

To update, just call git pull inside ~/.emacs.d/.

Features

Windows configuration:

• windows.el and revive.el to save and resume windows configuration. Code added to save at quit, and resume at startup automatically.
• Default windows size set at startup to a decent value.
• Disabled splash screen.

Command line interface:

• Emacs server is started by default when using window system (when you don't use Emacs inside the command line). This is useful to open new files inside the existing Emacs frame from the command line, instead of opening a new frame each time (default behaviour when calling simply emacs). To do this you can call emacsclient -n filename. I actually aliased it to cemacs adding this line to my .zshrc:

alias cemacs="emacsclient -n"

Editing:

• autopair.el to automatically close open parenthesis. Matching parenthesis highlighted.
• Automatically indenting at newline. Indenting with spaces instead of tabs.
• Showing line numbers at startup.
• cua-mode to enable common Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Z shortcuts (using the system clipboard), and to have backspace delete selected region.
• Smart beginning of line: home key jumps to the first non-white character. If point is already there, jump to the actual beginning of line.
• Smart current line comment with shortcut Ctrl+,.

Theme:

• zenburn theme is used.

WARNING. If you are using version 24.*, substitute line

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes/")

with

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes/")

inside file .emacs.
