Backups
Borrowed from Sacha Chua https://github.com/sachac/.emacs.d/
This is one of the things people usually want to change right away. By default, Emacs saves backup files in the current directory. These are the files ending in ~
that are cluttering up your directory lists. The following code stashes them all in ~/.emacs.d/backups
, where I can find them with C-x C-f
(find-file
) if I really need to.
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/backups")))
Disk space is cheap. Save lots.
(setq delete-old-versions -1)
(setq version-control t)
(setq vc-make-backup-files t)
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/" t)))

Copy filename to clipboard

Prompt for 'y or n' instead of 'yes or no'
Because typing out "yes" and "no" is irritating.

Support ANSI colors in compilation buffers

Re-bind modifiers on OSX
On mac keyboards, the command key placement works better for me as Meta rather than the default (Super), because it's right where my muscle memory expects a PC keyboard's Alt key.
The control keys are typically pretty terrible, too, but I find it easier to rebind Caps Lock to Control in the system preferences (which is a nice thing to do in other environments, as well).
(when (equal 'darwin system-type)
;; Command as meta, because alt/option's placement is terrible on
;; mac keyboards (this doesn't interfere with Spotlight's ⌘-Space
;; binding)
(setq ns-command-modifier 'meta))
Custom settings
Store options set via customize-*
in a separate file (Emacs stores
them in init.el
by default).
(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
(if (file-exists-p custom-file)
(load custom-file))
Auto-loading elisp files
Any elisp files dropped into ~/.emacs.local.d/
will be
automatically loaded.
I usually use this is a testing ground for new configuration before adding it here, and also for any personal / sensitive configuration.
(defun my/load-elisp-directory (path)
(let ((file-pattern "\\.elc?$"))
(when (file-directory-p path)
(mapcar (lambda (lisp-file)
(load-file lisp-file))
(directory-files (expand-file-name path) t file-pattern)))))
(my/load-elisp-directory "~/.emacs.local.d")
Configuration file layout
Here I define the emacs.el file that gets generated by the code in this org file.
;;;; Do not modify this file by hand. It was automatically generated
;;;; from `emacs.org` in the same directory. See that file for more
;;;; information.
