Emacs Plus is → GNU Emacs formulae for macOS → Homebrew package manager. It offers a wide rage of extra functionality over regular → Emacs package. Emacs Plus intent is to give the most of ‘plus’ stuff by default, leaving only controversial options as opt-in. Please refer to → Options section for more information.

$ brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
$ brew install emacs-plus [options]
$ brew install emacs-plus@27 [options]
$ brew install emacs-plus@28 [options]

Feel free to open an issue or contact me via email if you face any issues, questions or feature requests. I love pull requests, so do send them. You might want to check → Development guidelines to have better understanding on how to contribute.

Table of Contents

Install

Emacs Plus contains separate formulas for different Emacs versions:

  • emacs-plus installs Emacs 26, current release version;
  • emacs-plus@27 install Emacs 27, next release version;
  • emacs-plus@28 install Emacs 28, development version.
$ brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
$ brew install emacs-plus [options]
$ brew install emacs-plus@27 [options]
$ brew install emacs-plus@28 [options]

By default (without any addition options) this formula install Cocoa version of Emacs with support of gnutls, imagemagick, librsvg, libxml2, dynamic modules and multicolor fonts. Please see the list of available options to disable any bit of default behaviour or add even more stuff.

Reinstall

If you wish to reinstall emacs-plus with new options you should not use reinstall command of brew (not related to this formula, it’s a general advice). Instead, you should uninstall a package and then install it with new set of arguments.

$ brew uninstall emacs-plus
$ brew install emacs-plus [options]

Emacs 26 options

Emacs 26 comes without any available options due to → #195.

Emacs 27 and Emacs 28 options

OptionDescription
--with-ctagsdon’t remove the ctags executable that Emacs provides
--with-dbusbuild with dbus support
--with-debugbuild with debug symbols and debugger friendly optimizations
--with-janssonbuild with jansson support
--with-mailutilsbuild with mailutils support
--with-no-frame-refocusdisables frame re-focus (ie. closing one frame does not refocus another one)
--with-no-titlebarbuild → without titlebar
--with-x11build with x11 support
--with-xwidgetsbuild → with xwidgets support
--without-cocoabuild a non-Cocoa version of Emacs (terminal only)
--without-imagemagick@7build without imagemagick support
--HEADbuild from emacs-27 branch (only for emacs-plus@27)

By default emacs-plus builds the Cocoa version of Emacs.

emacs-plus unconditionally enables support for gnutls, librsvg, libxml2, little-cms2 and dynamic modules.

No Titlebar

This patch is enabled with the --with-no-titlebar option. It is meant for use with window tiling applications like → yabai, → chunkwm or → amethyst so that the titlebar you will never need to click on won’t take up screen real estate. If you see gaps between your emacs frames and other windows, try this:

(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)

Xwidgets (webkit)

Browse the web in Emacs as in modern browser.

The original → Emacs xwidgets builds and works on macOS however must be used with X11 and hence not practical option on macOS. This version enables xwidgets on native macOS Cocoa via embedding a native webkit window.

More details can be seen here → Veshboo’s emacs branch.

System appearance change

This patch is enabled by default and can’t be disabled. It adds a hook, ns-system-appearance-change-functions, that is called once the system appearance is changed. Functions added to this hook will be called with one argument, a symbol that is either light or dark. This mainly allows loading a different theme to better match the system appearance.

(add-hook 'ns-system-appearance-change-functions
          #'(lambda (appearance)
              (mapc #'disable-theme custom-enabled-themes)
              (pcase appearance
                ('light (load-theme 'tango t))
                ('dark (load-theme 'tango-dark t)))))

Note that this hook is also run once when Emacs is initialized, so simply adding the above to your init.el will allow matching the system appearance upon startup. The hook is NOT run in TTY Emacs sessions.

Emacs configuration

Emacs is a journey. And for some of you these projects might be inspiring.

Known Issues

Please checkout → Issues page for a list of all known issues. But here are several you should be aware of.

emacs dependency in other formulas

In some cases (like when installing cask) regular emacs package will be required. In such cases you might want to install all dependencies manually (except for emacs) and then install desired package with --ignore-dependencies option.

$ brew install cask --ignore-dependencies
