Emacs From Scratch configuration

I am following along with this config and will crib pieces over to my current Org mode config. See my dot-emacs-org to see my default configuration

The Basics of Emacs Configuration

No longer show the default startup screen. Show a visible bell indicator when you press a key that does nothing. On macOS Emacs, I get a yeild sign icon with an exclamation mark. Hide the toolbar and scrollbar. Change cursor to not blink. Load theme modus-operandi, a good light theme.

The 6 Emacs Settings Every User Should Consider

Save recent file list
Save mini-buffer interations
Save your current place in the file
Store customize settings in seperate file
Never use graphical dialogs
Revert file and non-file buffers that are changed in the background

Style Your Emacs with the Modus Themes

We are going to be modifying the modus-theme so I moved the load-theme section of this emacs config to the end of the init.el file.

Mode line
Selection regions
Completion coloring
Syntax highlighting
Org Mode files

The mode line

Remove border Decrese font size Add padding Accent the current active modeline

Selection region

Background only highlighting

Completion

I am using the example from the help:

matches: extrabold background intense
selection: semibold accented intense
popup: accented

Syntax highlighting

I am using:

bold-constructs
italic-constructs
paren-match: bold, intense, underline
syntax: alt-syntax, green-strings, yellow-comments

Org Mode files

Headings formatting I used the default from the help, however I modified it to not grow the size of the text and removed underlines on top of title text

Source blocks

Set the tinted mode that provides different colors for source bloacks based on source type.
