Emacs: Literate Configuration

Time tested vanilla approach

  • Literate org file to be tangled to generate ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el and ~/.emacs.d/init.el.
  1. Tastefully combining sections from various sources, such as bedrock, start-emacs and more.
  2. Imported ideas/blocks from earlier .emacs, and factored them to tangle into early-init.el and init.el.

Keeping it Simple, Specific and Functional KISF

FUNCTION Keys for ergonomics.

  1. Using function keys preferably in place of vanilla key sequences.
  2. Great opportunity as function keys were not present in earlier years of Emacs.

SPECIFIC or customised to exactly fit your use

  1. Know your own use, identify the command key strokes use frequency pattern.
  2. Develop function key namespace based sequences.

SIMPLE to be understood

  1. Keeping the number of concepts least to be understood.
  2. Sticking to orgmode.

Literate Programming Style:

  1. Source: Literate org file.
  2. HTML export of above source file.
