This is an ongoing evolution of my original Emacs configuration files, inspired by a bunch of resources I’ve found online.
git clone git@github.com:dawranliou/emacs.d.gitThe startup time is ~0.6 seconds on my machine. The only tricks I use is to increase the startup GC threshold and defer loading package loading. Nothing too fancy here.
early-init.el- See The Early Init Fileinit.el- The majority of the configuration
These are kept out of git’s version control:
private.el- The file is loaded after init.
Keybinding ideas:
This section might be out-dated because I am constantly tweaking my configurations.
There are some cases where I prefer emacs style keybindings.

This section used to be my keybindings bound with the super modifier key (usually the command key ⌘). Since I started using ArchLinu on my personal laptop (a ThinkPad T460S), I’ve grown to be less dependent on those keybindings. Lately I decided to use the command keys as the meta keys on my mac as well. This forced me to swap/remove some of the OS default keybindings. However, the benefit of having the meta key in a more ergonomics position outweighs the trouble. I spent most of my time in Emacs anyways.
To rebind/disable some Mac OS default keybindings:
- Disable Shift Cmd Q for logout
- How do I disable the Command-Control-D word definition keyboard shortcut in OS X Lion?

As a refugee from Vim, I started off from Spacemacs, Doom, evil-mode, and then
modalka. As I got closer to vanilla Emacs, the less I want to deal with all
the hassles of coming in and out of the modes. When I switched to modalka
from evil-mode for its simplicity, I found myself not really using the
modalka-mode at all. I am as efficient as (if not more efficient than) I was
using modal editing. So i think it’s time for me to graduate from the modal
editing in general and embrace the Emacs key sequences.
