My custom preferences and settings for Emacs.

.emacs

Installation

Installation is all simplified!

Requirement: 38 MB of internet (not required if you already have emacs-24.5.tar.xz)

Steps:

1. Run setup.sh.
2. Thank me!

To-do

• Add something like an upstart feature that fires up an emacs server for every user, as soon as the os runs.
• Copy the run.sh script to /usr/local/bin/emacs to enable the emacs shortcut for every user. Also, copy the .emacs.d directory to some location that is accessible to everyone.
• Add a -f switch to killemacs so as to do a kill -9 and cleanup the server socket file post that.
• Add package to view Markdown files. markdown-mode.el.
• Add a package to cleanup whitespace. This.
• Inhibit-startup-screen.
• Hide menu bar, tool bar, scroll bar.
• Write script to enable auto-killing of emacs when shutting down or rebooting.
  Script to go in /etc/init.d/. Symlinks in /etc/rc0.d/K??kill_emacs and /etc/rc6.d/K??kill_emacs.
• Use space instead of TABs.
• Enable/disable whitespace cleanup.
• Initial-scratch-message to nil.

Bugs

• C-TAB switches between windows in different frames.
• Run emacs server per user when started. Update run_emacs to only pgrep for the current user.
• Do the same as above for kill emacs.
• Big trouble with desktop-save-in-desktop-dir. Make if something like a -f.
