Emacs Configuration

This is an attempt to learn about Emacs and its ecosystem by creating a custom configuration from scratch.

Installation

1. clone this repository to ~/.emacs.d
2. call ~/.emacs.d/install-packages.el
3. start Emacs, press M-x and execute the all-the-icons-install-fonts command

TODO

• (semi-)automatically install missing packages (e.g. with use-package?)
• improve completion/navigation when chosing files
• find a buffer switcher
• hilight trailing whitespace
• configure custom (?) menus (with leader key) for things:
  • toggle features (fci, whitespace-mode, ...)
  • make C-x (and others) accessible via SPC x
  • make buffer switching more accessible, e.g. <leader> b b
• disable welcome buffer (or put something funny there)
• themed right-click menus
• update diff-hl after committing things with magit
• enable which-key completions and ido in dired-mode
