Simply put, this is my configuration for Emacs. To a greater degree, it is an ongoing attempt to discover how my ideal computing environment should look like.
There are many others like it (see "Inspirations" at the end of this file). As one's editor configuration is naturally a matter of personal taste and expectations, don't try to use this one as it is. Read some sections, learn about my way of doing things, cherry-pick the parts you enjoy, and keep hacking!
To read the configuration, I recommend opening init.org in Emacs.
Here are some screenshots to give you an idea of how it looks like:
In its current version, my configuration tries to achieve the following goals (in this order):
Very few things should be important enough to arbitrarily redirect your
attention. That's the reason why there are no notifications, not even a
clock. Yet all information I need is just one key binding or M-x away.
To improve typing ergonomics in general, I'm using an ergonomic keyboard layout called Neo. This puts frequently used keys in the home row and adds more modifier keys, which make typing special characters easier. In addition there is Boon, a modal editing package reducing the need to type key-chords.
Setting up Emacs to support the programming language of your choice is one of the most fun but also hardest tasks. Usually there are at least a dozen different packages to consider, try out and integrate into your workflow.
I'm trying to unify different language-dependent solutions using Nix, direnv and LSP. For Python and Rust this works reasonably well.
