My name and email address. Currently, I don’t have an email client for emacs set up but this would be useful then
(setq user-full-name "Calvin Roth"

- `doom-font’
- `doom-variable-pitch-font’
- `doom-big-font’ – used for `doom-big-font-mode’; use this for presentations or streaming
They all accept either a font-spec, font string (“Input Mono-12”), or xlfd font string. You generally only need these two: (setq doom-font (font-spec :family “monospace” :size 12 :weight ‘semi-light) doom-variable-pitch-font (font-spec :family “sans” :size 13))
There are two ways to load a theme. Both assume the theme is installed and available. You can either set `doom-theme’ or manually load a theme with the `load-theme’ function. To preview other themes press SPACE+h+t.
(setq doom-theme 'doom-one)This determines the style of line numbers in effect. If set to `nil’, line numbers are disabled. For relative line numbers(meaning distance from current line), set this to `relative’.
(setq display-line-numbers-type `relative)Start emacs in full screen
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'toggle-frame-fullscreen t)Next make the font size bigger. Also change font here
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 200)Finally, we set the style of emoji we want to use. Here we use the twitter style
(setq emojify-emoji-set "twemoji-v2")If you use `org’ and don’t want your org files in the default location below, change `org-directory’. It must be set before org loads!
First, we turn on toggle pretty entities this turns simple math into the appropriate symbol. For example, epsilon becomes ε and to becomes → . In general, use latex rules, in particular math commands start with a slash \ normally. Super/subscripts work now too.
(after! org
(setq org-pretty-entities t)
)We will also hide emphasis markers. In org mode / + text + / with no spaces for the slashes yields italtic text: text and likewise for Bold Text using the * symbol. This command hides the slashes and stars.
(after! org
(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
)(after! org
(setq org-directory "~/org/")
(setq org-agenda-files "/org/weekly.org")
)This makes it so when all the children of a TOOD item are DONE then the parent is automatically marked as done
(defun org-summary-todo (n-done n-not-done)
"Switch entry to DONE when all subentries are done, to TODO otherwise."
(let (org-log-done org-log-states) ; turn off logging
(org-todo (if (= n-not-done 0) "DONE✅" "TODO🌊"))))
;; I included the statistics here.
(add-hook 'org-after-todo-statistics-hook 'org-summary-todo)This package is for prettier bullets
(after! org
(use-package! org-bullets
:config
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-bullets-mode 1))))
)Just as the org bullet packages redefine the bullets for headings, I define the - symbol when used in a list to be an emoji.
(after! org)
(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
'(("^ *\\([-]\\) "
(0 (prog1 () (compose-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1) "🔹"))))))Here are some additional functions/macros that could help you configure Doom:
- `load!’ for loading external *.el files relative to this one
- `use-package!’ for configuring packages
- `after!’ for running code after a package has loaded
- `add-load-path!’ for adding directories to the `load-path’, relative to this file. Emacs searches the `load-path’ when you load packages with `require’ or `use-package’.
- `map!’ for binding new keys
To get information about any of these functions/macros, move the cursor over the highlighted symbol at press ‘K’ (non-evil users must press ‘C-c c k’). This will open documentation for it, including demos of how they are used.
You can also try ‘gd’ (or ‘C-c c d’) to jump to their definition and see how they are implemented.
