This is my literate Emacs configuration. It was initially fine-tuned for Python,
C, C++, FORTRAN and Lisp development, but it has grown far beyond the initial scope.
I use use-package extensively, which ensures a reproducible configuration.
I use Emacs mainly on NixOS, with Qtile as desktop environment. I like to use the
systemd unit of emacsclient. It speeds up the startup process as the heavy config
file is uploaded only once. A very good explanation can be found here. After editing
the config file, the unit must be reloaded:
systemctl --user restart emacsTo use emacsclient with the GUI application,
the file ~/.local/share/applications/emacsclient.desktop must be created with
the following content:
