My emacs configuration

Primary LanguageEmacs Lisp

My Emacs configuration that I use on most systems. Slight alterations may need to be made for running on some systems (such as high performance clusters without a display environment)

Where possible, I have tried to list other peoples code as a submodle.

For those that arent possible (because I could not find them on Git) or those from the Emacs Wiki, the links are provided as:

pp-c-l.el: Emacs Wiki https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PrettyControlL
column-marker.el: Emacs Wiki https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColumnMarker
matlab-mode: Matlab mode for Emacs https://sourceforge.net/p/matlab-emacs/src/ci/master/tree/

Pulling submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

Installing Packages Through MELPA etc.

The list of installed packages through the package manager are listed in emacs_packages.el. Open this script and execute the buffer to install packages.

If you want to get an updated list of the installed packages, run C-h v activated-packages-list to see which packages you have installed. Can then copy them and use the tr command in bash to format them (need to replace spaces with a new line so Elisp can handle it). Eg.

echo <paste contents of C-h v activated-packages-list here> | tr " " "\n"

Updating packages

  1. run M-x package-list-packages
  2. hit U (note is capital) to mark packages that can be updated
  3. hit x to perform update
