Speed used to be the advantage, but I’m now pushing much of this to LSP, so speed is less of an issue. What about when I am not using LSP? Also, since I’ve hooked grammar checkers, I need this with global keybindings. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package flycheck :init (setq next-error-message-highlight t) :bind (:map flycheck-error-list-mode-map ("C-n" .

Two Emacs projects compete for this position. The Emacs [[https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el][devdocs]] project is active, and seems to work well. Its advantage is a special mode for moving around the documentation. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package devdocs :general (:states 'normal "gD" 'devdocs-lookup) :config (ha-prog-leader "d" '(:ignore t :which-key "docs") "d e" '("eldoc" . eldoc) "d d" '("open" . devdocs-lookup) "d p" '("peruse" . devdocs-peruse) "d i" '("install" . devdocs-install) "d u" '("update" . devdocs-update-all) "d x" '("uninstall" . devdocs-delete) "d s" '("search" . devdocs-search))) #+end_src The [[https://github.com/blahgeek/emacs-devdocs-browser][devdocs-browser]] project acts similar, but with slightly different command names. Its advantage is that it allows for downloading docs and having it available offline, in fact, you can’t search for a function, until you download its pack. This is slightly faster because of this. #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no (use-package devdocs-browser :general (:states 'normal "gD" 'devdocs-browser-open) :config (ha-prog-leader "d" '(:ignore t :which-key "docs") "d d" '("open" . devdocs-browser-open) "d D" '("open in" . devdocs-browser-open-in) "d l" '("list" . devdocs-browser-list-docs) "d u" '("update" . devdocs-browser-update-docs) "d i" '("install" . devdocs-browser-install-doc) "d x" '("uninstall" . devdocs-browser-uninstall-doc) "d U" '("upgrade" . devdocs-browser-upgrade-doc) "d o" '("download" . devdocs-browser-download-offline-data) "d O" '("remove download" . devdocs-browser-remove-offline-data))) #+end_src ** Code Folding While Emacs has options for viewing and moving around code, sometimes, we could /collapse/ all functions, and then start to expand them one at a time. For this, we could enable the built-in [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HideShow][hide-show feature]]: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no (use-package hide-show :straight (:type built-in) :init (setq hs-hide-comments t hs-hide-initial-comment-block t hs-isearch-open t) :hook (prog-mode . hs-minor-mode)) #+end_src Note that =hide-show= doesn’t work with complex YAML files. The [[https://github.com/gregsexton/origami.el][origami]] mode works better /out-of-the-box/, as it works with Python and Lisp, but falls back to indents as the format, which works well. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package origami :init (setq origami-fold-replacement "⤵") :hook (prog-mode . origami-mode)) #+end_src To take advantage of this, type: - ~z m~ :: To collapse everything - ~z r~ :: To open everything - ~z o~ :: To open a particular section - ~z c~ :: To collapse a /section/ (like a function) - ~z a~ :: Toggles open to close Note: Yes, we could use [[https://github.com/mrkkrp/vimish-fold][vimish-fold]] (and its cousin, [[https://github.com/alexmurray/evil-vimish-fold][evil-vimish-fold]]) and we’ll see if I need those. ** Navigation with dumb-jump ** Smart Parenthesis We need to make sure we keep the [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] project always in /strict mode/, because who wants to worry about paren-matching: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package smartparens :custom (smartparens-global-strict-mode t) :config (sp-with-modes sp-lisp-modes ;; disable ', as it's the quote character: (sp-local-pair "'" nil :actions nil)) (sp-with-modes (-difference sp-lisp-modes sp-clojure-modes) ;; use the pseudo-quote inside strings where it serve as hyperlink. (sp-local-pair "`" "'" :when '(sp-in-string-p sp-in-comment-p) :skip-match (lambda (ms _mb _me) (cond ((equal ms "'") (not (sp-point-in-string-or-comment))) (t (not (sp-point-in-string-or-comment))))))) :hook (prog-mode . smartparens-strict-mode)) #+end_src ** Navigation *** Move by Functions The =mark-paragraph= and =downcase-word= isn’t very useful in a programming context, and makes more sense to use them to jump around function-by-function: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (evil-define-key '(normal insert emacs) prog-mode-map (kbd "M-h") 'beginning-of-defun (kbd "M-l") 'beginning-of-next-defun) #+end_src But one of those functions doesn’t exist: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun beginning-of-next-defun (count) "Move to the beginning of the following function." (interactive "P") (end-of-defun count) (end-of-defun) (beginning-of-defun)) #+end_src Once upon a time, we use to create a =TAGS= file that contained the database for navigating code bases, but with new faster versions of grep, e.g. [[https://beyondgrep.com][ack]], [[https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher][ag]] (aka, the Silver Searcher), [[https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep][ugrep]] and [[https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep][ripgrep]], we should be able to use them. but I want to: - Be in a function, and see its callers. For this, the [[help:rg-dwim][rg-dwim]] function is my bread-and-butter. - Be on a function, and jump to the definition. For this, I use [[https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump][dumb-jump]], which uses the above utilities. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package dumb-jump :init (setq dumb-jump-prefer-searcher 'rg) :config (setq xref-show-definitions-function #'xref-show-definitions-completing-read) (add-hook 'xref-backend-functions #'dumb-jump-xref-activate) ;; (add-to-list 'evil-goto-definition-functions #'dumb-jump) ;; Remove this now that https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump/issues/338 ;; (defun evil-set-jump-args (&rest ns) (evil-set-jump)) ;; (advice-add 'dumb-jump-goto-file-line :before #'evil-set-jump-args) (ha-prog-leader "s" '(:ignore t :which-key "search") "s s" '("search" . xref-find-apropos) "s d" '("definitions" . xref-find-definitions) "s o" '("other window" . xref-find-definitions-other-window) "s r" '("references" . xref-find-references) "s b" '("back" . xref-go-back) "s f" '("forward" . xref-go-forward)) :general (:states 'normal "g."

While comparable goals, they are behave different. Let’s compare evil keybindings: | ~M-.~ | ~g .~ | [[help:xref-find-definitions][xref-find-definitions]] (also ~g d~ for [[help:evil-goto-definition][evil-goto-definition]])† | | | ~g >~ | =xref-find-definitions-other-window= | | ~M-,~ | ~g ,~ | [[help:xref-go-back][xref-go-back]] (see [[help:xref-pop-marker-stack][xref-pop-marker-stack]]) | | ~C-M-,~ | ~g <~ | [[help:xref-go-forward][xref-go-forward]] (kinda like =xref-find-definitions=) | | ~M-?~ | ~g /~ | [[help:xref-find-references][xref-find-references]] to go from definition to code calls‡ | | | ~g ?~ | [[help:xref-find-references-and-replace][xref-find-references-and-replace]] could be more accurate than [[*iEdit][iEdit]]. | | ~C-M-.~ | ~g h~ | [[help:xref-find-apropos][xref-find-apropos]] … doesn’t work well without LSP | | ~C-TAB~ | | perform completion around point (also ~M-TAB~), see [[file:ha-config.org::*Auto Completion][Auto Completion]]. | † Prefix to prompt for the term \ ‡ If it finds more than one definition, Emacs displays the [[info:emacs#Xref Commands][*xref* buffer]], allowing you to select the definition. ** Language Server Protocol (LSP) Integration The [[https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/][LSP]] is a way to connect /editors/ (like Emacs) to /languages/ (like Lisp)… wait, no. While originally designed for VS Code and probably Python, we can abstract away [[https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi][Jedi]] and the [[http://tkf.github.io/emacs-jedi/latest/][Emacs integration to Jedi]] (and duplicate everything for Ruby, and Clojure, and…). Emacs has two LSP projects, and while I have used [[LSP Mode]], but since I don’t have heavy IDE requirements, I am finding that [[eglot]] to be simpler. *** LSP #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package lsp-mode :commands (lsp lsp-deferred) :init ;; Let's make lsp-doctor happy with these settings: (setq gc-cons-threshold (* 100 1024 1024) read-process-output-max (* 1024 1024) company-idle-delay 0.0 ; Are thing fast enough to do this? lsp-keymap-prefix "s-m") :config (global-set-key (kbd "s-m") 'lsp) (ha-prog-leader "w" '(:ignore t :which-key "lsp") "l" '(:ignore t :which-key "lsp") "ws" '("start" . lsp)) ;; The following leader-like keys, are only available when I have ;; started LSP, and is an alternate to Command-m: :general (:states 'normal :keymaps 'lsp-mode-map "SPC m w r" '("restart" . lsp-reconnect) "SPC m w b" '("events" . lsp-events-buffer) "SPC m w e" '("errors" . lsp-stderr-buffer) "SPC m w q" '("quit" . lsp-shutdown) "SPC m w Q" '("quit all" . lsp-shutdown-all) "SPC m l r" '("rename" . lsp-rename) "SPC m l f" '("format" . lsp-format) "SPC m l a" '("actions" . lsp-code-actions) "SPC m l i" '("imports" . lsp-code-action-organize-imports) "SPC m l d" '("doc" . lsp-lookup-documentation)) :hook ((lsp-mode . lsp-enable-which-key-integration))) #+end_src I will want to start adding commands under my =SPC m= mode-specific key sequence leader, but in the meantime, all LSP-related keybindings are available under ~⌘-m~. See [[https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/keybindings/][this page]] for the default keybindings. *** UI The [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-ui][lsp-ui]] project offers much of the display and interface to LSP. Seems to make the screen cluttered. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package lsp-ui :commands lsp-ui-mode :config (setq lsp-ui-sideline-ignore-duplicate t lsp-ui-sideline-show-hover t lsp-ui-sideline-show-diagnostics t) :hook (lsp-mode . lsp-ui-mode)) #+end_src *** Treemacs #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package lsp-treemacs :commands lsp-treemacs-errors-list :bind (:map prog-mode-map ("s-)" . treemacs)) (:map treemacs-mode-map ("s-)" . treemacs)) :config (lsp-treemacs-sync-mode 1)) #+end_src *** Company Completion The [[https://github.com/tigersoldier/company-lsp][company-lsp]] offers a [[http://company-mode.github.io/][company]] completion backend for [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][lsp-mode]]: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no (use-package company-lsp :config (push 'company-lsp company-backends)) #+end_src To options that might be interesting: - =company-lsp-async=: When set to non-nil, fetch completion candidates asynchronously. - =company-lsp-enable-snippet=: Set it to non-nil if you want to enable snippet expansion on completion. Set it to nil to disable this feature. *** iMenu The [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-ui/blob/master/lsp-ui-imenu.el][lsp-imenu]] project offers a =lsp-ui-imenu= function for jumping to functions: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no (use-package lsp-ui-imenu :straight nil :after lsp-ui :config (ha-prog-leader "g" '(:ignore t :which-key "goto") "g m" '("imenu" . lsp-ui-imenu)) (add-hook 'lsp-after-open-hook 'lsp-enable-imenu)) #+end_src *** Display Configuration Using the [[https://github.com/seagle0128/doom-modeline][Doom Modeline]] to add notifications: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package doom-modeline :config (setq doom-modeline-lsp t doom-modeline-env-version t)) #+end_src ** Function Call Notifications As I've mentioned [[http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/beep-for-emacs.html][on my website]], I've created a [[file:~/website/Technical/Emacs/beep-for-emacs.org][beep function]] that notifies when long running processes complete. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package alert :init (setq alert-default-style (if (ha-running-on-macos?)

What it doesn’t give me, is a project-specific list of commands. Perhaps, for each project, I define in =.dir-locals.el= a variable, =compile-command-list=, like: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no ((nil . ((compile-command . "make -k ") (compile-command-list . ("ansible-playbook playbooks/confluence_test.yml" "ansible-playbook playbooks/refresh_inventory.yml"))))) #+end_src To make the =compile-command-list= variable less risky, we need to declare it: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defvar compile-command-list nil "A list of potential commands to give to `ha-project-compile'.") (defun ha-make-compile-command-list-safe () "Add the current value of `compile-command-list' safe."

Along with the values in =compile-command-list= (if set), I could look at files in the project’s root and get targets from a =Makefile=, etc. We’ll use helper functions I define later: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun ha--compile-command-list () "Return list of potential commands for a project." (let ((default-directory (projectile-project-root))) ;; Make a list of ALL the things. ;; Note that `concat' returns an empty string if you give it null, ;; so we use `-concat' the dash library: (-concat compile-history (ha--makefile-completions) (ha--toxfile-completions) (when (and (boundp 'compile-command-list) (listp compile-command-list)) compile-command-list)))) #+end_src My replacement to [[help:compile][compile]] uses my new =completing-read= function: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun ha-project-compile (command) "Run `compile' from a list of directory-specific commands."

First, use =npm= to install the program: #+begin_src sh npm installl -g @ansible/ansible-language-server #+end_src ** Shell Scripts While I don't like writing them, I can't get away from them. Check out the goodies in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTC6SP7R1hA&t=5s][this video]]. While filename extensions work fine most of the time, I don't like to pre-pend =.sh= to the shell scripts I write, and instead, would like to associate =shell-mode= with all files in a =bin= directory: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package sh-mode :straight (:type built-in) :mode (rx (or (seq ".sh" eol) "/bin/")) :init (setq sh-basic-offset 2 sh-indentation 2) :config (ha-auto-insert-file (rx (or (seq ".sh" eol) "/bin/")) "sh-mode.sh") :hook (after-save . executable-make-buffer-file-executable-if-script-p)) #+end_src *Note:* we make the script /executable/ by default. See [[https://emacsredux.com/blog/2021/09/29/make-script-files-executable-automatically/][this essay]] for details, but it turns on the executable bit if the script has a shebang at the top of the file. The [[https://www.shellcheck.net/][shellcheck]] project integrates with [[Flycheck]]. First, install the executable into the system, for instance, on a Mac: #+begin_src sh brew install shellcheck #+end_src And we can enable it: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (flycheck-may-enable-checker 'sh-shellcheck) #+end_src Place the following /on a line/ before a shell script warning to ignore it: #+begin_src sh # shellcheck disable=SC2116,SC2086 #+end_src See [[https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore][this page]] for details. Integration with the [[https://github.com/bash-lsp/bash-language-server][Bash LSP implementation]]. First, install that too: #+begin_src sh brew install bash-language-server #+end_src ** Fish Shell I think the [[https://fishshell.com/][fish shell]] is an interesting experiment (and I appreciate the basics that come with [[https://github.com/emacsmirror/fish-mode][fish-mode]]). #+begin_src emacs-lisp (use-package fish-mode :mode (rx ".fish" eol) :config (ha-auto-insert-file (rx ".fish") "fish-mode.sh") :hook (fish-mode .
