# NARF Emacs
> What we do every night, Pinky...
This is the Emacs configuration for stubborn vimmers and megalomaniacal mice alike. It
strives to emulate vim as best it can, and surpass it in any way possible.
It is tailored to my needs as a software developer, data scientist and writer, running
OSX and Emacs **25.1+**.
## Installation
```
brew install cask
brew install emacs --devel --with-imagemagick --with-librsvg --with-cocoa
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hlissner/emacs.d ~/.emacs.d
cd ~/.emacs.d
make # installs plugins via cask and generates autoloads
```
And to optionally byte-compile everything:
`make compile # optionally byte-compiles everything`
## Features
To get a picture of what's in here, check out:
* **[The Caskfile](Cask)**: contains a list of all the installed plugins, and to find where
they're configured.
* **[init.el](init.el)**: lists all the loaded modules
* **[private/my-bindings.el](private/my-bindings.el)**: most of the custom keybinds
* **[private/my-commands.el](private/my-commands.el)**: available custom ex commands
### Basic
* Modal editing with **evil-mode**
* Syntax checking with **Flycheck**
* Completion with **company-mode**
* Pretty mode-line with **spaceline**
* Project navigation with **helm** and **neotree**
* Session persistence (and tab emulation) with **workgroups2**
* Run code inline with **quickrun**
* 2-char searching with **evil-snipe**
* Display diffs in the margin with **git-gutter**
* Repeat (most) motions with SPC
* Snippets with **yasnippet**
* File template support with **auto-insert** and **yasnippet**
* *writing-mode* for distractions-free typing in any mode
* Code folding with **hideshow**; doesn't allow arbitrary folds though
* Multiple region editing with **iedit**
* O/S interaction functions, like **os-reveal** and **os-open-in-browser**
### Advanced
* **Popup control with Shackle**: I've (mostly) tamed window popups in Emacs with
Shackle (popwin was unstable and slow), that includes those made by: Helm,
vc-annotate, quickrun, neotree, \*messages\*, org-mode--and others.
* **Ex compatibility**: I've given quite a few plugins an Ex interface. For instance,
`:t [ARGS]` and `:tcd` for tmux, `:ag [KEYWORDS]` for helm-ag, and `:align [REGEXP]`
for align-regexp.
* **Incremental highlighting for `:g[lobal]`**: evil's stock global command does not
do this (`:align` will also highlight matches).
* **iedit instead of multiple-cursors**: I've got my eye on
[evil-mc](https://github.com/gabesoft/evil-mc), but until I jump ship I use
**evil-iedit**. To use it, hop into visual mode, select a region and press
S-r (shift-R). Your edits will apply to all highlighted regions. To limit
iedit's scope: while in iedit mode go into visual, select a range and press
SPC.
* **Rudimentary support for extra =expand(...) symbols in evil-ex**: this includes
`%:[pdert]`, which can be used with ex commands like `:e`, `:w`, or in the expression
register. This *could* be truer to vim, but I haven't gotten around to it.
* **Vim-esque Omni-completion commands**: I've implemented most of the common
omni-completion shortcuts:
```
C-x C-l 'narf/company-whole-lines
C-x C-k 'company-dict
C-x C-f 'company-files
C-x C-] 'company-tags
C-x s 'company-ispell
C-x C-s 'company-yasnippet
C-x C-o 'company-semantic
C-x C-n 'company-dabbrev-code
C-x C-p (lambda (interactive)
(let ((company-selection-wrap-around t))
(call-interactively 'company-dabbrev-code)
(company-select-previous-or-abort))))
```
* **Popup REPLs**: currently supports python(ipython), ruby (pry), php (boris),
elisp (ielm), lua, js (nodejs), and the shell. More support later, hopefully for go
and rust.
* **Yasnippet + auto-insert = file-templates with editable fields**: _and_ it works with
evil-mode! See [core/core-auto-insert.el](core/core-auto-insert.el) for configuration
details.
* **Tab emulation with Workgroups2**: Workgroups2 will display the tabs in the
minibuffer when you press ⌘-S-T, use `:tabs` or move between "tabs". `gt`
and `gT` work as well.
⌘-1 - ⌘-9 keybindings work as well.
* **Minimalistic mapping macro**: I liked how concise mapping keys in viml was. I
brought a little of that to Emacs by defining `map!`, a macro for defining keybindings
in as little space as possible. [See my bindings](private/my-bindings.el) for an
example.
* **Org-mode**: I use Org for everything; CRM, note-taking, invoicing, prototyping
code (with org-babel), etc. I've added babel support for Rust and Go. I've written
#+CALL methods for extracting/compiling information with my CRM org plaintext files.
It's set up to display equations with LaTeX, sheet music with lilypond, and diagrams
with ditaa or plantuml. There is too much to cover in only one paragraph, is
constantly evolving, and isn't entirely included in this repo.
* **Modeline improvements**
* **evil-search/iedit/evil-substitute mode-line integration**: I like how anzu
displays state about the current search in the mode-line, so I wrote mode-line
segments to display matches for evil-search (e.g. `/`/`?` searches), evil-substitute
(e.g. `%s/foo/bar`) and iedit.
* **Macro-recording indicator**: Displays an indicator that you are recording a macro
(and what register it's being recorded into).
* **Show (py|rb)env version in mode-line**: see `define-env-command` on how to set it up
for other modes. It only displays in their respective major-modes.
