emacs config shared

I have shared my emacs config in codeberg: https://codeberg.org/jcastp/emacs.d

After years of reading other people’s configs, copying really useful snippets, and a little bit of tinkering myself, I have finally taken the step to share my config. If I’ve learned something from other people’s examples, perhaps someone can get something useful from mine (and I hope so).

The config is long, has many parts moving, things I use, things I don’t, code I still need to understand how it works but I know what it does, and there are some bits really tailored to myself, but I tried to document as much as possible why they are there and what they do.

My config focuses on:

• Tasks and time management:

  My attention is like a cat with many wool threads to follow, so I need a system to capture all my interests before my mind wanders to another topic. Orgmode helps me focus on what I want and store the rest for later.

• Writing and blogging

  I like writing (or at least, the idea of having written) and my goal is to publish some of my stories - if they are good enough. There are many apps and programs out there with the focus on writing, but none with the flexibility of emacs so, no matter how many times I try those other options, I always come back here to tinker my config and get that cool feature I’ve seen outside. Not very sophisticated, but good enough to cover my bases (and looking for other people’s solutions).

• some programming.

  I’m not, by any means, a programmer, but a person with some interest in programming, so you won’t find here any IDE-like features. Just the basic tools to help me make my simple scripts.

I tried to give credit where I could, but since I started a long time ago, I missed a lot of references. In general, if you see some elegant code, I’m not the author. If something looks like amateur code, then it’s me (I’m trying to improve!)

Finally, I wanted to thanks to all the #emacs community for its sharing spirit and the tons of information provided on many topics. Without that help, I won’t be doing this today!
