#+TITLE: Emacs Graphical Display Configuration
#+AUTHOR: Howard X. Abrams
#+DATE: 2020-09-10
A literate programming file to configure the Emacs UI.

Clarify the creative commons on tangled files Do I really need the copyright symbol? I love how the proselint insists that I use the unicode character (which unicoding all the files sounds great to me). What could go wrong there? :-D

Update the copyright year This really was a lark to see if I could change ALL the files using woccur and a regular expression. Quite please with how simple that was.

* Find the Bloody Cursor
Why is pulsar not on in all modes?
2023-09-07 22:44:08 +00:00
Large screen, lots of windows, so where is the cursor? While I used to use =hl-line+=, I found that the prolific [[https://protesilaos.com/][Protesilaos Stavrou]] [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-03-14-emacs-pulsar-demo/][introduced his Pulsar project]] is just what I need. Specifically, I might /loose the cursor/ and need to have it highlighted (using ~F8~), but also, this automatically highlights the cursor line with specific /actions/ , like changing windows.

* Full Size Frame
Taken from [[https://emacsredux.com/blog/2020/12/04/maximize-the-emacs-frame-on-startup/][this essay]], I figured I would start the initial frame automatically in fullscreen, but not any subsequent frames (as this could be part of the capturing system).

* Font Configuration
Am I ever really ever satisfied with any font? I regularly change my font based on the monospace du jour... [[http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html][Source Code Pro]] is attractive, and has been a staple on every programmers' screen. However, we all want ligatures, [[https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig][Hasklig]] is a nice font that is thinner and easier to read than [[https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode][Fira]], but [[https://typeof.net/Iosevka/][Iosevka]] seems to have it all. Oh, Microsoft just gave us [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/cascadia-code][Cascadia]] and that seems shiny. However, the [[https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts][Nerd Font project]] adds the ligatures as well as all the other niceties to a font.

Increase/Decrease the "font size" of the frame While the `text-scale-increase` works fine for a single window, if I want the font for the entire window, I needed something else. Added it to the "Window" Hydra, so it could be a pink toggle. While I was at it, I changed more `ha/` to `ha-` ... consistency!
