#+STARTUP: overview

* About this file

This is my main emacs init file. It can be loaded by the init.el with
org-babel or can be tangled and compiled to =main.elc= and loaded
directly.

If you're viewing this file in an org-mode buffer, you can open source
code blocks (those are the ones in begin_src) in a separate buffer by
moving your point inside them and typing C-c '
(org-edit-special). This opens another buffer in emacs-lisp-mode, so
you can use M-x eval-buffer to load the changes.

* Personal information

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq user-full-name "Alexander Sulfrian"
        user-mail-address "alexander@sulfrian.net")
#+end_src

* Initialization
** packages

Add some more package repositories.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (nconc package-archives
         '(("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
           ("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")
           ("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")
           ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")))
#+end_src

By default the package system is initialized after evaluating the
user-init-file (this file) and I could not customize packages in this
file. So I initialize the package system right here and disable the
automatic initialization.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq package-enable-at-startup nil
        package-user-dir (locate-user-emacs-file "cache/elpa/"))
  (package-initialize nil)
#+end_src

** use-package

I require use-package to simplify the configuration. This is a
requirement for this configuration, so I install it here.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (eval-when-compile
    (unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
      (package-install 'use-package))
    (setq use-package-verbose t)
    (require 'use-package))
#+end_src

** auto-compile

For faster start-up times, this init file should be compiled into
byte code. I use auto-compile mode for this. It will recompile files
on load if the byte compiled file exists but is outdated.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package auto-compile
    :ensure t
    :config (auto-compile-on-load-mode))
#+end_src

For safety reasons emacs should prefer the newer file, if the =*.el=
and =*.elc= file exists.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq load-prefer-newer t)
#+end_src

** dash

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package dash
  :demand t
  :ensure t)
#+end_src emacs-lisp

* General Setup
** Encoding

Set all the encoding stuff to utf-8 (but to latin-1 on ZEDAT hosts).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (let ((encoding
         (if (string-match "\\.zedat.fu-berlin.de\\'" system-name)
             'latin-1
           'utf-8)))
    (setq locale-coding-system encoding)
    (set-terminal-coding-system encoding)
    (set-keyboard-coding-system encoding)
    (set-selection-coding-system encoding)
    (prefer-coding-system encoding))
#+end_src

** Customizing

Emacs should not edit the init.el file when saving stuff from
customize. So I set a separate custom-file and load it.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/emacs-custom.el")
  (load custom-file)
#+end_src

** Helper for configuration

I need some functions to simplify the configuration below. They are
defined here.

*** Get buffers with specific minor-mode

Simply get a list of all buffers, where the specified minor-mode is
active.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/get-buffers-with (mode)
    "Get a list of buffers where the given MODE is active. It is done by
  evaluating the given symbol in all buffers and return a list with
  all buffers where it evaluates to t. So actually MODE could be any
  buffer-local variable."
    (let ((state (mapcar (lambda (buf)
                           (with-current-buffer buf
                             (when (and (boundp mode)
                                        (symbol-value mode))
                               buf)))
                         (buffer-list))))
      (delq nil state)))
#+end_src

*** Ignore errors of a function

This macro first tries to execute the given fun and evaluate the body
afterwards, even if fun raised an error. After evaluation of body the
original return value (or error) of fun is returned.

This is useful for around advices, that should be reset something
after calling the adviced function, even if it raises an error.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defmacro alex/safe-call (fun &rest body)
    "Evaluate FUN and catch all errors, evaluates BODY afterwards
  (regardless whether an error was raised or not) and finally returns
  the result of FUN captured earlier or re-throw the error."
    `(let* ((tmp (condition-case err
                     (list (,@fun) nil)
                   (error (list nil err))))
            (err (cadr tmp))
            (result (car tmp)))
       ,@body
       (when err
         (signal (car err) (cdr err)))
       result))
#+end_src

*** Get next element from list

This lisp function returns the next element from a list. It is useful
if you want to switch a setting between multiple values.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/get-next (old list)
    "Returns the element after OLD in LIST or the first element if OLD
  is the last element or is not in LIST."
    (let ((index (or (cl-position old list) -1))
          (len (length list)))
      (nth (% (+ 1 index) len) list)))
#+end_src

*** Exclude list for globalized minor-modes

I want to define some global-minor-modes, but keep them disabled in
certain modes, buffers or in the minibuffer. So I declare some helper
to define exclude lists for custom global-minor-modes.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/parse-exclude-list (exclude-list)
    "Convert a free from exlude list (with multiple keywords) in a
    propper assoc list with the keywords as key and the values in
    between as values."
    (let ((keyword nil)
          (res '())
          (args '()))
      (dolist (elem exclude-list)
        (if (keywordp elem)
            (progn
              (when keyword (setq res (nconc res (list keyword (or args 'empty)))))
              (setq keyword elem
                    args '()))
          (setq args (nconc args (list elem)))))
      (nconc res (list keyword (or args 'empty)))))

  (defmacro alex/check-list (list var &rest body)
    "Simple macro to check if body returns non-nil for any element in
    the list."
    `(if (eq ,list 'empty)
         nil
       (delq nil (mapcar
                  (lambda (,var)
                    ,@body)
                ,list))))

  (defun alex/safe-get-value (var)
    "Get the value of the variable of nil if the given variable does not exists."
    (if (boundp var)
        (symbol-value var)
      nil))

  (defun alex/minor-mode-exclude (mode)
    "Check the exclude list for the given mode. Returns t if the mode
    should be excluded, else nil."
    (let* ((exclude-list (intern (concat (symbol-name mode) "-exclude-list")))
           (excludes (alex/parse-exclude-list (symbol-value exclude-list))))
      (cond
       ((and (plist-get excludes :minibuffer) (minibufferp))
        t)
       ((alex/check-list (plist-get excludes :mode) mode
                         (cond ((derived-mode-p mode) t)
                               ((alex/safe-get-value mode) t)))
        t)
       ((alex/check-list (plist-get excludes :buffer) buf
                         (cond
                          ((and (symbolp buf) (eq (current-buffer)
                                                  (alex/safe-get-value buf)))
                           t)
                          ((and buf (eq (current-buffer) buf))
                           t)))
        t)
       (t nil))))
#+end_src

Last I define a macro for defining a globalized minor-mode with the
exclude list feature.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defmacro alex/global-excluding-minor-mode (global mode &rest body)
    "Define a global-minor-mode that can be disabled on some modes or
    buffers. BODY is executed each time when the mode should be
    activated (it passed the exclude list at this position). If BODY
    is empty the mode will be simply activated."
    (if `(not ,body)
        `(define-globalized-minor-mode ,global ,mode
           (lambda ()
             (unless (alex/minor-mode-exclude ',mode)
               (,mode 1))))
      `(define-globalized-minor-mode ,global ,mode
         (lambda ()
           (unless (alex/minor-mode-exclude ',mode)
             ,@body)))))

  (defmacro alex/minor-mode-exclude-list (mode)
    `(defvar ,(intern (concat (symbol-name mode) "-exclude-list"))
       ()
       (concat "Exclude list for " (symbol-name ',mode) ". "
               "Can contain :minibuffer, :modeq and :buffer.")))

  (defun alex/build-global-name (mode)
    "Build the symbol for the global mode by inserting 'global-' after
    'alex/' or prepending 'alex/gloabl-' if MODE does not start with the
    personal prefix."
    (let ((name (symbol-name mode)))
      (intern
       (if (string-match "^alex/" name)
           (replace-regexp-in-string "^alex/" "\\&global-" name)
         (concat "alex/global-" name)))))

  (defun alex/define-global-excluding-minor-mode (mode &rest body)
    (let ((global (alex/build-global-name mode)))
      (eval `(alex/global-excluding-minor-mode ,global ,mode ,body))
      (eval `(alex/minor-mode-exclude-list ,mode))))
#+end_src

** Cache directory

I want to keep all the changing files in one place, so I create
=~/.emacs.d/cache/= for this purpose.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (let ((cache (locate-user-emacs-file "cache/")))
    (unless (file-directory-p cache)
      (make-directory cache)))
#+end_src

Additionally I define a helper function to create a file name inside
this cache directory.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/cache-file (filename)
    (locate-user-emacs-file (concat "cache/" filename)))
#+end_src

*** recentf

Save the history of the last 1000 visited files.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq recentf-save-file (alex/cache-file "recentf")
        recentf-max-saved-items 1000)
  (recentf-mode 1)
#+end_src

*** save-place

Save the last position in a file and raise the limit to 10k elements.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (use-package saveplace
      :config
      (setq save-place-file (alex/cache-file "saveplace")
            save-place-limit 10000)
      (setq-default save-place t))
#+end_src

*** savehist

Save a lot of history between emacs restarts. Save everything, but do
not keep duplicates.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq savehist-file (alex/cache-file "savehist")

        history-length t
        history-delete-duplicates t

        savehist-save-minibuffer-history t
        savehist-additional-variables '(kill-ring
                                        search-ring
                                        regexp-search-ring))
#+end_src

Enable the =savehist-mode=. This has to be below the configuration,
because the history is loaded when this mode is activated the first
time. So the =savehist-file= has to be configured when activating.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (savehist-mode 1)
#+end_src

*** bookmarks

Bookmarks are great to remember various positions in files. Save the
bookmark file every time I make a modification (so that I do not loose
a change, even if emacs or my laptop crashes).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq bookmark-default-file (alex/cache-file "bookmarks")
        bookmark-save-flag 1)
#+end_src

*** backups

Do not save backup files into the directory of the original file.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/backups")))
#+end_src

Do not delete old backup files.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq delete-old-versions -1
        version-control t)
#+end_src

Make backups even for files under version control.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq vc-make-backup-files t)
#+end_src

*** auto-save

Do not save auto-save files into the directory of the original
file (especially important for editing files via tramp).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms
        `((".*" ,(alex/cache-file "auto-save-list/") t)))
#+end_src

** Remove some annoyances
*** No startup message

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq inhibit-startup-message t)
#+end_src

*** Newline at end of file

Require a newline at end of file, but do not insert newlines
automatically just by moving the cursor down.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq require-final-newline t
        next-line-add-newlines nil)
#+end_src

*** Yes or No

I do not want to have to type =yes= and =no=. =y= or =n= should be
sufficient.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
#+end_src

*** Symbolic links and version control

Visit the real file (without question), if editing a symbolic links
that points to a file under version control.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq vc-follow-symlinks t)
#+end_src

** Visual
*** Window configuration

Clean up the UI. No toolbar, but use scrollbars and tooltips to keep
the minibuffer clean.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (tool-bar-mode -1)
  (tooltip-mode 1)
  (scroll-bar-mode 1)
#+end_src

Use extremely small scroll-bars on the right.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (set-scroll-bar-mode 'right)
  (set-frame-parameter nil 'scroll-bar-width 10)
  (nconc default-frame-alist '((scroll-bar-width . 10)))
#+end_src

The menu-bar is helpful in the terminal (under X you can get a menu on
demand with <F10>). So I enable the menu-bar if no window-system is
available. To show the menu also in an emacsclient in the terminal, I
have to add a hook in the =after-make-frame-function=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/update-menu-bar (&optional frame)
    "This displays the menu bar if the given FRAME (default: selected
  frame) is in a terminal"
    (let ((status (if (display-graphic-p frame) 0 1)))
      (set-frame-parameter frame 'menu-bar-lines status)))

  (alex/update-menu-bar)
  (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'alex/update-menu-bar)
#+end_src

*** Color-theme

Use own color theme and switch it depending whether the frame is on
terminal or under X11.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package color-theme
    :demand t
    :config
    (setq color-theme-directory "~/.emacs.d/lisp/themes/"
          color-theme-load-all-themes nil)

    (color-theme-initialize)
    (color-theme-monokai-alex)

    (defun alex/update-color-theme (&optional frame)
      (let ((color-theme-is-global nil))
        (if (display-graphic-p frame)
            (color-theme-monokai-alex)
          (color-theme-alex-console))))
    (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'alex/update-color-theme))
#+end_src

I always want to have as much as possible syntax highlighting.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (global-font-lock-mode t)
  (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
#+end_src

*** Cleanup minor-modes in modeline

I want to hide some minor-modes, if they are activated in nearly all
buffers or it is irrelevant if they are activated.

To be compatible with powerline I use rich-minority, but I add some
custom stuff to fake the interface of diminish so that I can use the
diminish feature of use-package.

I can use :diminish in use-package with either a mode name or e regexp
to hide matching modes.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package rich-minority
    :ensure t
    :config
    (defvar alex/minor-mode-blacklist ()
      "List of regexp that is matched against the lighter of all
    minor-modes. All matching minor-modes are hidden in the mode line.")

    (defun alex/rm-add-blacklist (regexp)
      "Add the given REGEXP to alex/minor-modes-blacklist and updates the
    combined regexp in rm-blacklist afterwards."
      (unless (member regexp alex/minor-mode-blacklist)
        (setq alex/minor-mode-blacklist
              (nconc alex/minor-mode-blacklist (list regexp)))
        (alex/update-rm-blacklist))
      alex/minor-mode-blacklist)

    (defun alex/update-rm-blacklist ()
      "Update rm-blacklist and build a regexp from the multiple values in
    alex/minor-modes-blacklist."
      (setq rm-blacklist
            (format "^\\(%s\\)$"
                    (mapconcat #'identity alex/minor-mode-blacklist "\\|"))))

    (defun alex/get-lighter (mode)
      "Get the lighter for the given minor-mode."
      (let ((value (assoc mode minor-mode-alist)))
        (if value
            (let ((lighter (cadr value)))
              (if (symbolp lighter)
                  (when (boundp lighter)
                    (eval lighter))
                lighter))
          nil)))

    (defun diminish (mode &optional regexp)
      "This is a fake diminish with rich-minority-mode. It accepts uses
    either the MODE or if given the REGEXP to hide the mode."
      (if (and regexp (> (length regexp) 0))
          (alex/rm-add-blacklist regexp)
        (let ((lighter (alex/get-lighter mode)))
          (when lighter
            (alex/rm-add-blacklist lighter)))))

    (rich-minority-mode 1))
#+end_src

*** Trailing whitespaces

I generally want to show trailing whitespaces, but there are several
exceptions. Per default there is only a buffer local variable to
control this feature. I create a simple minor-mode, so that I could
simply activate or deactivate this feature.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (define-minor-mode alex/tw-mode
    "trailing-whitespace-mode"
    :lighter " TW"
    (setq show-trailing-whitespace alex/tw-mode))

  (alex/define-global-excluding-minor-mode 'alex/tw-mode)
#+end_src

I want to disable trailing whitespaces in the minibuffer, in weechat,
helm and term-mode and in the which-key buffer. So I define here the
exclude list.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq alex/tw-mode-exclude-list
        '(:minibuffer
          :mode
          helm--remap-mouse-mode
          weechat-mode
          term-mode
          Custom-mode
          :buffer
          which-key--buffer))
#+end_src

And now activate the new global mode and hide it from the mode line.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (alex/global-tw-mode t)
  (diminish 'alex/tw-mode)
#+end_src

*** Visual-wrap-column

Sometimes I want to force =visual-line-wrap= at a specific column (in
contrast to the window width). This is especially useful for emails,
that are badly formatted with long lines. =visual-line-wrap= will
split long lines at the word-break before the specified column. 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defvar alex/visual-wrap-column nil
    "Column to force visual line wrap. Use `alex/set-visual-wrap-column'
  to change the value.")

  (defun alex/set-visual-wrap-column (new-wrap-column &optional buffer)
    "Force visual line wrap at NEW-WRAP-COLUMN in BUFFER (defaults to
  current buffer) by setting the right-hand margin on every window that
  displays BUFFER. A value of NIL or 0 for NEW-WRAP-COLUMN disables this
  behavior."
    (interactive (list (read-number "New visual wrap column, 0 to disable: "
                                    (or alex/visual-wrap-column fill-column 0))))
    (when (and (numberp new-wrap-column)
             (zerop new-wrap-column))
      (setq new-wrap-column nil))
  
    (with-current-buffer (or buffer (current-buffer))
      (visual-line-mode t)
      (set (make-local-variable 'alex/visual-wrap-column) new-wrap-column)
      (add-hook 'window-configuration-change-hook
                'alex/update-visual-wrap-column nil t)
    
      (let ((windows (get-buffer-window-list)))
        (dolist (win windows)
          (when (window-live-p win)
            (with-selected-window win
              (alex/update-visual-wrap-column)))))))

  (defun alex/update-visual-wrap-column ()
    "Update the right margin of the current window, to match the
  available space to `alex/visual-wrap-column'."
    (if (not alex/visual-wrap-column)
        (set-window-margins nil nil)
      (let* ((current-margins (window-margins))
             (right-margin (or (cdr current-margins) 0))

          (set-window-margins nil (car current-margins)
                              (- current-available alex/visual-wrap-column))))))

** Localization

I want to use german names for month and weekdays.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq calendar-week-start-day 1

** Browser

I have a simple wrapper script to be able to easily switch to a
different browser. So I only have to configure to use this wrapper
script.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
        browse-url-generic-program "browser")
#+end_src

** Movement

The defaults for the cursor movement and scrolling are not very good,
so I need to customize the settings to match the expectations.

*** Scrolling

If I move the cursor out of screen, I do not want to jump to recenter
the cursor, but scroll just as far to display the cursor again.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq scroll-conservatively 10000
        auto-window-vscroll nil)
#+end_src

Do not accelerate mouse scrolling.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq mouse-wheel-progressive-speed nil)
#+end_src

Automatic scroll the compilation output to the bottom (or the first
error).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq compilation-scroll-output t)
#+end_src

*** Automatic indentation

Automatic indent new lines.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (bind-key "RET" 'newline-and-indent)
#+end_src

But clean whitespaces, if the indentation is abandoned.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package clean-aindent-mode
    :config
    (clean-aindent-mode t))
#+end_src

*** Back to indentation

I want to have a better handling for the =<home>= key. Per default I
want to move the cursor to the end of the indentation (first
non-whitespace character). Only if the cursor is already at that
position, I want to move to the beginning of the line.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/back-to-indentation-or-beginning ()
    "Move the point to the first non-whitespace character on the line,
  of if it is already there, to the beginning of the line."
    (interactive)
    (if (= (point) (save-excursion (back-to-indentation) (point)))
        (beginning-of-line)
      (back-to-indentation)))

  (bind-key "<home>" 'alex/back-to-indentation-or-beginning)
#+end_src

*** Ungreedy kill-word

The default =kill-word= (and =backward-kill-word=) is a bit greedy. I
want to replace =forward-word= in the original definition with
=forward-same-syntax=.

This could not be done with an advice because =forward-word= is a byte
code primitive and could not be replaced with =flet= or something like
that. So I have to copy the original definition of kill-word here and
simple do the replacement in the source.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun kill-word (arg)
    "Kill characters forward until encountering the end of a word.
  With argument ARG, do this that many times."
    (interactive "p")
    (kill-region (point) (progn (forward-same-syntax arg) (point))))
#+end_src

** Selection

The selection is the region between the mark and the point. But I want
to see the active region, so I want to ensure, that
transient-mark-mode is enabled globally.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(transient-mark-mode 1)
#+end_src

Additionally I have some enhancements to the default behaviour of some
commands.

*** Kill or copy whole line

If no region is active, I want to kill/copy the current line.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/whole-line (func beg end &rest region)
    (interactive (if mark-active
                     (list (region-beginning) (region-end))
                   (list (line-beginning-position)
                         (line-beginning-position 2))))
    (apply func beg end region))

  (advice-add 'kill-ring-save :around #'alex/whole-line)
  (advice-add 'kill-region :around #'alex/whole-line)
#+end_src

*** Rectangle selection

The rectangle selection of cua mode works very well, but I only want
the rectangle selection mode and not the C-z/C-x/C-c/C-v bindings.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq cua-rectangle-mark-key (kbd "M-SPC")
        cua-delete-selection nil)
  (cua-selection-mode t)
#+end_src

*** X11 clipboard

Use the X11 clipboard in addition to the primary selection, because
some other X11 apps can only use the X11 clipboard.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
  (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-selection-value)
#+end_src

** Custom commands

Here I define some global custom commands. These commands are bind
in the =global-map= and are not associated with any other package.

*** Open terminal

Open an external terminal in the default directory of the current
buffer. In most cases this is the directory containing the file of the
current buffer.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/open-buffer-shell ()
    "Open a terminal in the default directory of the current buffer."
    (interactive)
    (if default-directory
        (start-process-shell-command
         "urxvt"
         nil
         (concat "DIR=" default-directory " urxvt"))
      (message "Buffer does not contain a file.")))

  (bind-key "<f12>" 'alex/open-buffer-shell)
#+end_src

** Bug fixes

A few workarounds about some strange emacs behaviour.

*** Key mapping

Some versions of urxvt send some strange key codes for some key
combinations. The following table contains the mappings from the
key codes send by urxvt and the real keys.

#+tblname: key-mappings
| Keycode     | Key         |
|-------------+-------------|
| M-[ Z       | <S-tab>     |
| <select>    | <S-up>      |
| M-[ b       | <S-down>    |
| M-[ c       | <S-right>   |
| M-[ d       | <S-left>    |
| M-O a       | <C-up>      |
| M-O b       | <C-down>    |
| M-O c       | <C-right>   |
| M-O d       | <C-left>    |
| ESC M-O a   | <C-M-up>    |
| ESC M-O b   | <C-M-down>  |
| ESC M-O c   | <C-M-right> |
| ESC M-O d   | <C-M-left>  |
| ESC M-O A   | <M-up>      |
| ESC M-O B   | <M-down>    |
| ESC M-O C   | <M-right>   |
| ESC M-O D   | <M-left>    |
| ESC M-[ a   | <M-S-up>    |
| ESC M-[ b   | <M-S-down>  |
| ESC M-[ c   | <M-S-right> |
| ESC M-[ d   | <M-S-left>  |
| <clearline> | <C-end>     |

The tables is converted into the real key mappings with the following
function. It uses the org-babel stuff to convert the org-table into an
emacs-lisp variable.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var mappings=key-mappings
  (if (not window-system)
      (mapc (lambda (row)
              (define-key function-key-map
                (read-kbd-macro (car row))
                (read-kbd-macro (cadr row))))
            mappings))
#+end_src

*** Scroll speed

The scroll speed of emacs (at least 24.1) was very slow (esp. in
wanderlust summary buffers). The problem was, that for each line the
paragraph direction was checked. Because I do not use right-to-left
languages, I disable the auto detection

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (when (boundp 'bidi-paragraph-direction)
    (setq-default bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right))
#+end_src

*** Sit-for

=sit-for= seems to modify the current-buffer and causes error message
during find-file (if a backup file exists). This fixes the problem
providing =sit-for= with a temporary buffer, that is destroyed
afterwards.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/save-current-buffer (orig-fun &rest args)
    "Do not allow the advised function to change the current-buffer."
    (with-temp-buffer
      (apply orig-fun args)))
  (advice-add 'sit-for :around #'alex/save-current-buffer)
#+end_src
* Modes
** Core modes

These modes are part of the core and the auto-mode-alist is set up
automatically. So the mode should not be required.

*** cc-mode

Here I only add a hook for the configuration and a key-binding for the
mode key-map.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun alex/c-mode-setup ()
    ;; auto fill at column 80
    (setq fill-column 80)
    (turn-on-auto-fill)

    ;; semantic as for auto-complete
    (add-to-list 'ac-sources ac-source-semantic)

    ;; now '_' is not considered a word-delimiter
    (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w")

    ;; indentation style
    (c-set-style "linux")
    (setq indent-tabs-mode t
          c-basic-offset 4
          tab-width 4)

    (bind-key "C-c o" 'ff-find-other-file 'c-mode-map))

  (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'alex/c-mode-setup)
#+end_src

*** text-mode

I only activate =auto-fill-mode= for =text-mode= here. Additionally I
activate =text-mode= automatically for all files called only with
capital letters and without extension (like README or INSTALL).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\`[A-Z]+\\'" . text-mode))
#+end_src

** Additional modes 

Some additional modes for editing of special files types. Most of
them do not requires special configuration only =:mode= or
=:interpreter= from use-package to enable auto loading.

*** apache-mode

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package apache-mode
    :mode ("\.htaccess$" "htpd\\.conf$" "srm\\.conf$" "access\\.conf$"

*** haskell-mode

I need haskell-mode and it is required to initialize the indentation

** ace-window

ace-window is a replacement for =C-x o= that let you switch to a
specific window. It displays a marker in all windows and switch to the
select one. It is also possible execute some actions on the window
(swap, split or delete) by pressing a dispatch key before selecting
the window. It is not optimal, because it does not display the
possibility. Maybe I will replace it with a custom hydra.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package ace-window

** auto-complete

auto-complete uses a popup to display possible completions of the
input. The popup is displayed automatically after some idle time or
when pressing the shortcut (but the auto-complete-mode has to be
enabled before).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package auto-complete

** cursor-chg

I want to change the cursor if the buffer is readonly or if I enabled
overwrite. =cursor-chg= can change the shape of the cursor. The color

** dired-x

I use dired-x mostly for the features for omitting files. I customize
the arguments for the listing to add a trailing slash for directories
(that way I can omit files like =*.d= but keep directories matching

buffers.

Indent a filled line (manual or with auto-fill-mode) according to some

** git-gutter-fringe

If running under X11 I want to have little git marker on the right

the modification function from =fringe-helper= because it does
something strange with the beg and end parameters.

To make space for the git-gutter signs, I extend the width of the
right fringe a bit (left side is kept at the default width).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** helm

I use helm completion everywhere and I do /not/ autoload helm, because
it would slow down the first completions and I am sure I will use helm
every time I start emacs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package helm
    :bind (("M-x" . helm-M-x)
           ("M-X" . execute-extended-command)
           ("C-x f" . helm-mini)
           ("C-x b" . helm-buffers-list)
           ("C-x C-b" . helm-buffers-list)
           ("M-y" . helm-show-kill-ring))
    :demand t
    :ensure t
    :diminish helm-mode
    :config
    <<helm-config>>
    (helm-mode 1))
#+end_src

The basic configuration for helm is provided by helm-config.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (use-package helm-config)
#+end_src

Customize the prefix key and setup =<tab>= as convenient execute the
persistent-action without quitting helm.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (bind-key "<tab>" 'helm-execute-persistent-action helm-map)
  (setq helm-command-prefix-key "C-c h")
#+end_src

*** configuration

Now I customize the helm configuration:

**** visual

I want to split the current window to display the helm completion
window and want to cycle through the results.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (setq helm-split-window-in-side-p t
        helm-move-to-line-cycle-in-source t)
#+end_src

**** scroll other window

I do not want to scroll the other window by pages, but by 10
lines. This is useful, if I preview a file or a buffer with the
persistent action and want to scoll around a bit.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (setq helm-scroll-amount 10)
#+end_src

**** history

I want to use =recentf-list= instead of the normal =file-name-history=,
because it is more configurable and more complete. 

I /always/ want to save the history for executed commands, even if the
command has failed.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (setq helm-ff-file-name-history-use-recentf t
        helm-M-x-always-save-history t)
#+end_src

**** fuzzy matching

Enable fuzzy matching on some helm modes. There is also
=helm-mode-fuzzy-match= that would enable fuzzy match in every helm
mode, that would also modify sorting.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (setq helm-apropos-fuzzy-match t
        helm-buffers-fuzzy-matching t
        helm-ff-fuzzy-matching t
        helm-projectile-fuzzy-match t
        helm-recentf-fuzzy-match t
        helm-M-x-fuzzy-match t)
#+end_src

**** recursive minibuffers

Recursive minibuffers allow to execute a minibuffer command while
currently in the minibuffer. With this enabled, I could use the
/completion at point/ from the minibuffer (maybe from
=eval-expression=).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm-config :tangle no
  (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t)
#+end_src

*** helm-projectile

Enable helm support for projectile and replace many projectile
commands with helm completion.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package helm-projectile
    :ensure t
    :after (helm)
    :init
    ; This needs to be set before loading helm-projectile
    (setq helm-projectile-fuzzy-match t)
    :config
    (helm-projectile-on))
#+end_src
** hydra

With hydra I can build easy groups of commands that (maybe) can
repeated and share a common prefix. The advantage over other
mechanisms is, that hydra will show a overview of the available keys
after pressing the prefix. It is very flexible and maybe I should
create more hydras.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package hydra
    :bind (("C-M-s" . alex/hydra-splitter/body)
           ("<f2>" . alex/hydra-zoom/body)
           ("C-t" . alex/hydra-toggle/body))
    :config
    <<helm>>)
#+end_src

*** move splitter

With this hydra I can move the splitter between frames using the
cursor keys.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm :tangle no
  (require 'hydra-examples)
  (defhydra alex/hydra-splitter ()
    "Move window spitter"
    ("<left>" hydra-move-splitter-left)
    ("<right>" hydra-move-splitter-right)
    ("<up>" hydra-move-splitter-up)
    ("<down>" hydra-move-splitter-down))
#+end_src

*** zoom

With this hydra I can change font site on demand, by repeatedly
pressing + or - until the desired font-size is reached.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm :tangle no
  (defhydra alex/hydra-zoom ()
    "Change font size"
    ("+" text-scale-increase "zoom in")
    ("-" text-scale-decrease "zoom out"))
#+end_src

*** toggle

With this hydra I can toggle various common settings (or minor-modes)
using some shortcuts.

Because the keys are already documented in the docstring, hydra should
not show all the keys again in the mode line and we globally set the
hint to nil.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref helm :tangle no
  (defhydra alex/hydra-toggle (:hint nil)
    "

  Toggle common settings/minor-modes:

  \[_d_\] debug-on-error:        %`debug-on-error

  \[_l_\] truncate-lines:        %`truncate-lines
  \[_w_\] whitespace-mode:       %`whitespace-mode
  \[_t_\] trailing-whitespaces:  %`alex/tw-mode

    ("d" toggle-debug-on-error)
    ("f" auto-fill-mode)
    ("l" toggle-truncate-lines)
    ("w" whitespace-mode)
    ("t" alex/tw-mode)
    ("s" flyspell-mode)
    ("q" nil))
#+end_src

** imenu

=imenu= is part of core and does not need to be required.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (bind-key [mouse-3] 'imenu)
#+end_src

** ispell

I want to use aspell to check the spelling. It correctly supports
Unicode and can have a very good quality of the suggestions.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq ispell-program-name "aspell"
        ispell-extra-args '("--sug-mode=slow"))
#+end_src

Normally I do not want to enable flyspell-mode automatically. I only
want to enable it, if I specify a dictionary with =flyspell-dict= as
file-local variable.

Here I define a buffer-local variable and allow the setting of all
strings as local variable without question.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defvar flyspell-dict nil
    "Dictionary name, that should be set during `find-file' for
  `flyspell-mode'. Set this as file-local or dir-local variable to
  enable `flyspell-mode' automaticaly.")
  (make-variable-buffer-local 'flyspell-dict)
  (put 'flyspell-dict 'safe-local-variable #'stringp)
#+end_src

Enable ispell (if available) and iterate with =F8= over the list of
preferred dictionaries.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package ispell
    :config
    (defvar alex/dictionaries '("english" "german")
      "List of available dictionaries for ispell.")

    (defun alex/switch-dictionary()
      (interactive)
      (let ((new (alex/get-next ispell-current-dictionary alex/dictionaries)))
        (ispell-change-dictionary new)
        (message "Dictionary switched to %s" new)))
    (global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") 'switch-dictionary)

    (use-package flyspell
      :config
      <<flyspell-config>>))
#+end_src

Update the flyspell status on various changes to the spell checking
(selecting a different dictionary or adding a word to the personal
dictionary).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref flyspell-config :tangle no
  (defun alex/flyspell-update (&rest args)
    (when flyspell-mode
      (flyspell-buffer)))

  (add-hook 'flyspell-mode-hook 'alex/flyspell-update)
  (advice-add 'ispell-change-dictionary :after #'alex/flyspell-update)
  (advice-add 'ispell-pdict-save :after #'alex/flyspell-update)
#+end_src

If =flyspell-dict= is set for the current buffer, set the value as
current ispell dictionary and enable flyspell-mode. =flyspell-dict=
should be set as local variable (file-local or dir-local).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref flyspell-config :tangle no
  (defun alex/auto-flyspell-mode ()
    "Automatically set `flyspell-dict' as dictionary for ispell and
  enable `flyspell-mode'."
    (when flyspell-dict
      (ispell-change-dictionary flyspell-dict)
      (flyspell-mode 1)))
  (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'alex/auto-flyspell-mode)
#+end_src

This ignores all incorrect words in lines starting with
=#include=. =flyspell-prog-mode= only checks strings and comments, but
the include files could look like strings.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref flyspell-config :tangle no
  (defun alex/flyspell-ignore-include (start end sug)
    "Ignores all spelling errors in lines starting with #include."
    (save-excursion
      (goto-char start)
      (beginning-of-line)
      (if (looking-at "#include")
          t
        nil)))

  (add-hook 'flyspell-incorrect-hook 'alex/flyspell-ignore-include)
#+end_src

** magit

magit is a great mode for managing git repositories. I generally use
=magit-status= as entry point for viewing repository status, staging
and committing. For writing good commit messages, I activate
=flyspell-mode= in the =magit-log-edit-mode=.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package magit
    :bind ("<f5>" . magit-status)
    :config
    (add-hook 'magit-log-edit-mode-hook (lambda () (flyspell-mode 1))))
#+end_src
** multi-term

multi-term supports much more terminal applications than similar modes
and can automatically toggle a dedicated window. The only disadvantage
is, that it does not work in combination with tramp.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package multi-term
    :bind (("C-c t" . multi-term-dedicated-toggle)
           ("C-c T" . multi-term))
    :config
    ;;(setq multi-term-dedicated-select-after-open-p t)
    )
#+end_src
** neotree

I rarely use a files browser in parallel to the main window. Usually I
simply use =find-file= or a dired buffer. But if I really need it,
neotree is a nice replacement for speedbar and simply work out of the
box. I only added projectile support, so that the neotree open per
default the project root (aka. the root of the git repository).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package neotree
    :commands (neotree-dir neotree-find neotree-show)
    :bind ("C-<tab>" . neotree-project-dir)
    :init
    (defun alex/neotree-find-file (dir file)
      (neotree-dir dir)
      (if file
          (neotree-find (file-relative-name file dir))))

    (defun neotree-project-dir ()
      "Open NeoTree using the git root."
      (interactive)
      (if (and (fboundp 'neo-global--window-exists-p)
               (neo-global--window-exists-p))
          (neotree-hide)
        (if (fboundp 'projectile-project-root)
            (let ((projectile-require-project-root nil))
              (let ((project-dir (projectile-project-root))
                    (file-name (projectile-file-truename (buffer-file-name))))
                (if project-dir
                    (alex/neotree-find-file project-dir file-name)))))
        (neotree-show))))
#+end_src

** nlinum

I generally want to have line numbers. nlinum works best with folding,
so I use that.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package nlinum
    :config
    <<nlinum-config>>)
#+end_src

*** global mode

I use my global-excluding-minor-mode stuff an define some exceptions,
where I do not want to have line numbers.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref nlinum-config :tangle no
  (alex/define-global-excluding-minor-mode 'nlinum-mode)

*** number format

I want to have some spacing around the numbers and calculate the
width, so that the width does not change during scrolling.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref nlinum-config :tangle no
  (setq nlinum-format " %d ")

  (defun alex/nlinum-max-width ()

    (nlinum--flush))
  (add-hook 'nlinum-mode-hook 'alex/nlinum-max-width)
#+end_src

*** fix make-frame

linum/nlinum currently triggers a bug in emacs: [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-09/msg00022.html][Trunk emacs infelicity
with linum mode]] that make it impossible to create a new frame while
linum mode is active in at least on buffer. To fix this I
around-advice =make-frame= and deactivate nlinum before and reactivate
it again after creating the frame.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref nlinum-config :tangle no

** org

I use org-mode for my emacs config, taking notes, scheduling tasks and
maybe more.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package org

#+end_src

*** visual

I want to have a nice display.

On opening a org file, I want to see the outline but not the content
of all nodes. This is useful to get an overview.

The nested org nodes should be intended, so that it is easy to see the
level, but I do not want to see the repeated stars in front of the
nodes. (The nodes may even got more fancy, if org-bullets is
available. See below.)

If some parts are hidden, I want to prevent editing. If an edit action
is started the hidden region will be unfolded and the action has to be
confirmed.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref org :tangle no
  (setq org-startup-folded 'content

*** agenda

The agenda view should be generated only from the =todo.org= file.

When I start an org-capture in an org-protocol popup, I want to show
only the org-capture buffer (default behaviour would be to split the
current buffer) and I want to close the popup after finishing the
capture.

When using org-capture with placeholders, we need to delete the other
windows just before starting to filling out the placeholders. The
advice after org-capture is too late, it would delete the other
windows after filling the placeholders.

** origami

Sometimes I want to fold some code sections. There are several mode
available, but only origami supports insertion of new regions without
reopening or parsing the whole buffer. But I do not want to use the
semantic expression feature of origami and my markers should support a
title in the first line after the marker. 

I define my own parser for origami and modify the behaviour for my
needs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package origami
    :demand t
    :bind (("C-c C-f" . origami-toggle-node)
           ("C-c M-f" . origami-close-all-nodes)

    :config
    <<origami-config>>)
#+end_src

*** custom format for folded display

Per default origami is used to fold semantic expressions and only
shows the marker at the front and end of the region. I want to use
explicit marker inside comments and want to add a description (title)
for the region after the opening marker. So I want to keep the whole
first line visible while the region is folded.

*** respect derived modes

I manually specify the parser for the origami markers. For more
flexibility I want to support derived modes (f.e. if I assign a value
for emacs-list-mode, this parser should also support the
lisp-interaction-mode).

Therefore I advice the =origami-get-parser= function and temporarily
overwrite the =origami-parser-alist= and change all definitions with a
compatible mode to the exact major mode of the requested buffer.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref origami-config :tangle no

#+end_src

*** display utf8 glyphs

Currently powerline only displays the nice utf-8 glyphs (f.e. for git

and temporarily unset =window-system=.

*** smart-mode-line

I only use smart-mode-line for the file paths feature. I need to call

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref powerline-config :tangle no

** semantic

semantic is an emacs mode, that parses the source code of the current
buffer. It has support for many languages out of the box (C/C++,
Python, elisp, Erlang...). I want to enable it in all buffers. The
only disadvantage is, that opening a file could trigger the parsing
and will block emacs for a while (depending on how many files are in
the including hierarchy).

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** template

I want to insert template automatically in new empty files with the

#+end_src
** tramp

I usually have very heavy shell customization on remote hosts. I do
not want to depend, that tramp can parse my custom prompt format. So I

shell on the remote host.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

#+end_src

*** dir-locals

Support dir-locals also via tramp. This leads to a additional delay
while opening a file via tramp (because it has to check for the
dir-locals file over ssh) but usually I do not want to clutter single
files with file-local variables.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq enable-remote-dir-locals t)
#+end_src
** uniquify

Use a better approach to make unique buffer names. The default
algorithm just adds a count after the filename if you opened two files
with the same name. =uniquify= adds the path to the buffer name, so
that the right buffer is easier to identify.

I use winner to quickly restore a previous window configuration after
it was changed by something. I demand it here, because winner mode
need to be active to keep track of the changes and helm will notice it
and will insert the helm buffer names into =winner-boring-buffers=.

it when needed.

** wl

Here are only the functions for auto-loading. I customize wanderlust,
to load the profile from the org-babel file =init.d/wl.org= during
start-up of wanderlust.

I use a separate frame for wanderlust with a custom name, so that
XMonad can shift it to a different desktop. Additionally I create
a function, that should be called with emacsclient to compose a new
message from a mailto link. This function also creates a new frame
with a custom name and closes it after sending the mail.

** yasnippet

I want to use yasnippets everywhere, so I enable the global mode. In
addition to the default snippets I have some in my personal dir. It
does not load the all snippets during startup, but only if the first
buffer switches to the corresponding mode (only the directories are
searched during activation of the global mode).
