What

em is a somewhat minimal, somewhat practical, somewhat sensible, Nix-packaged Emacs bundle.

It is mainly intended for Haskell development.

Installation

Nix is a prerequisite.

./install.sh

Once done, em, a basic shell wrapper around emacs is available in the user environment.

emn is a non-blocking variant of em (convenience for nix-shell usage).

C-Tab: Cycle (other-window)
C-c C-<left/right>: undo/redo any window layout changes (winner-undo / redo)

`: Quick navigate in repo files (helm-ls-git-ls)
<menu>: Everything git (magit-status)
C-c m: Rename current file and buffer (rename-this-buffer-and-file)

<f4>: Set a Cabal lib target for Dante (dante-set-lib)
open any .hs file: Dante is started, but will fail, unless you set the Cabal target before doing this. It’s also beneficial to prebuild the target in CLI beforehand.
