Creating multiple general leader keys per mode, doesn't work. Instead, I need to re-use the _local leader_ but add the keymap during the definition.

* Left Side
|
||
** Dad Jokes!
|
||
The /critical part/ of my dashboard, is the [[https://icanhazdadjoke.com/][Dad Joke]] function, a =curl= call to a web service:
|
||
#+begin_src sh
|
||
curl -sH "Accept: text/plain" https://icanhazdadjoke.com/
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
For this, I use the [[https://github.com/tkf/emacs-request][request]] package (and I’ll use this elsewhere too) and the =dashboard= project (defined below) will incorporate it:
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package request
|
||
:init
|
||
(defvar ha-dad-joke nil "Holds the latest dad joke.")
|
||
|
||
:config
|
||
(defun ha-dad-joke ()
|
||
"Display a random dad joke."
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(message (ha--dad-joke)))
|
||
|
||
(defun ha--dad-joke ()
|
||
"Return string containing a dad joke from www.icanhazdadjoke.com."
|
||
(setq ha-dad-joke nil) ; Clear out old joke
|
||
(ha--dad-joke-request)
|
||
(ha--dad-joke-wait))
|
||
|
||
(defun ha--dad-joke-wait ()
|
||
(while (not ha-dad-joke)
|
||
(sit-for 1))
|
||
(unless ha-dad-joke
|
||
(ha--dad-joke-wait))
|
||
ha-dad-joke)
|
||
|
||
(defun ha--dad-joke-request ()
|
||
(request "https://icanhazdadjoke.com"
|
||
:sync t
|
||
:complete (cl-function
|
||
(lambda (&key data &allow-other-keys)
|
||
(setq ha-dad-joke data))))))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
** Dashboard
|
||
The [[https://github.com/emacs-dashboard/emacs-dashboard][emacs-dashboard]] project makes a nicer startup screen.
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package dashboard
|
||
:init
|
||
(defun ha-dashboard-version ()
|
||
(let ((smaller-version (replace-regexp-in-string
|
||
(rx " (" (zero-or-more any) eol) "" (emacs-version))))
|
||
(string-replace "\n" "" smaller-version)))
|
||
|
||
(setq dashboard-banner-logo-title
|
||
(format "Emacs %s ⸺ %s"
|
||
(if (and (fboundp 'native-comp-available-p)
|
||
(native-comp-available-p))
|
||
"with Native Compilation" "")
|
||
(ha-dashboard-version))
|
||
dashboard-startup-banner "~/other/hamacs/support/levitating-gnu.png"
|
||
dashboard-center-content t
|
||
dashboard-set-init-info t
|
||
dashboard-projects-switch-function 'projectile-persp-switch-project
|
||
dashboard-items '((projects . 5)
|
||
;; (agenda . 5)
|
||
(bookmarks . 5)))
|
||
(setq dashboard-footer-messages (list (ha--dad-joke)))
|
||
|
||
:config
|
||
(dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
|
||
|
||
;; Real shame that :config is incompatible with :hook, otherwise:
|
||
;; :hook (dashboard-after-initialize . ha-dashboard)
|
||
(add-hook 'dashboard-after-initialize-hook 'ha-dashboard))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
This dashboard project requires [[https://github.com/purcell/page-break-lines][page-break-lines]] (which is a nice project):
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(use-package page-break-lines)
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
I would appreciate seeing if my Emacs installation has the features that I expect:
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(defun ha-hamacs-features (&optional iconic)
|
||
"Simple display of features I'm most keen about.
|
||
If ICONIC is non-nil, return a string of icons."
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(let* ((png-icon (all-the-icons-material "image"))
|
||
(svg-icon (all-the-icons-alltheicon "svg"))
|
||
(tls-icon (all-the-icons-faicon "expeditedssl"))
|
||
(json-icon (all-the-icons-fileicon "jsx"))
|
||
(mag-icon (all-the-icons-faicon "magic"))
|
||
(jit-icon (all-the-icons-faicon "cog"))
|
||
(results (s-join " "
|
||
(list (when (and (fboundp 'native-comp-available-p)
|
||
(native-comp-available-p))
|
||
(if iconic jit-icon "Native-Compilation"))
|
||
(when (image-type-available-p 'svg) (if iconic svg-icon "SVG"))
|
||
(when (image-type-available-p 'png) (if iconic png-icon "PNG"))
|
||
(when (gnutls-available-p) (if iconic tls-icon "TLS"))
|
||
(when (json-available-p) (if iconic json-icon "JSON"))
|
||
(when (fboundp 'imagemagick-types) (if iconic mag-icon "ImageMagick"))))))
|
||
(if (called-interactively-p)
|
||
(message "Enabled features: %s" results)
|
||
results)))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
* Right Side
|
||
On the right side should show a list of keybindings or other hints that I want to work on memorizing.
|
||
|
||
** Cheatsheet
|
||
Lots of things to learn and keep straight. Let’s try the [[https://github.com/mykyta-shyrin/cheatsheet][cheatsheet.el]] project.
|

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

** Learn This
|
||
Simple function to display a file in the top-right corner (if the file exists):
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(defun ha-show-learn-this ()
|
||
""
|
||
(interactive)
|
||
(let ((filename "~/other/hamacs/learn-this.org")
|
||
(curr-win (get-buffer-window (buffer-name))))
|
||
(when (file-exists-p filename)
|
||
(split-window-below 15)
|
||
(select-window curr-win)
|
||
(find-file filename))))
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
* Altogether
|
||
The =dashboard= project hooks to [[help:emacs-startup-hook][emacs-startup-hook]] and this =ha-dashboard= function hooks to dashboard’s [[help:dashboard-after-initialize-hook][dashboard-after-initialize-hook]]:
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
||
(defun ha-dashboard ()
|

"Shows the extra stuff with the dashboard."
|

(interactive)
|

(let ((width (thread-first (window-total-width)
