Init file(and directory) Quick Access.
Trivia
Sadly, Emacs (unlike Spacemacs, which has spacemacs/find-dotfile) doesn’t have a function to open its own init file, so thousands of users have to write their owns. I’m not different :)
Installation
Using use-package:
(use-package iqa
;; use this if your config is generated from org file
;; :custom
;; (iqa-user-init-file (concat user-emacs-directory "README.org") "Edit README.org by default.")
:config
;; (iqa-add-bookmarks) — if you prefer bookmarks
(iqa-setup-default))
or just put iqa.el to load-path
and
(require 'iqa)
Info
iqa-find-user-init-file
is a shorthand to open user init file.
By default user-init-file
is used. If your configuration is generated
from org-mode source you may want to point it to your org file.
(setq iqa-user-init-file (concat user-emacs-directory "init.org"))
File is opened by find-file
but you can redefine it by e.g.
(setq iqa-find-file-function #'find-file-other-window)
iqa-reload-user-init-file
reloads user-init-file
(not iqa-user-init-file
)
For a full restart take a look at restart-emacs package.
iqa-find-user-init-directory
opens init file directory
iqa-setup-default
defines keybindings:
C-x M-f — iqa-find-user-init-file
C-x M-c — iqa-find-user-custom-file
C-x M-r — iqa-reload-user-init-file
C-x M-d — iqa-find-user-init-directory
If you don’t like these, or prefer to use Emacs bookmarks instead, iqa-add-bookmarks
adds bookmarks to these files.
