tab-bar-new-button and tab-bar-close-button, desipite being set to nill in elisp/init-tab-bar.el` are being reset by emacs-plus natively compiled configuration showing those annoying close button and new-tab button on tab bar.

I could just remove the configuration set by emacs-plus, but I am pretty sure there is a bit more elegant solution of the problem than that.

not all the modes need to be showed in modeline, the config already uses diminish to declutter the modeline but still the modeline becomes very cluttered very soon, maybe a bit more packages need to be diminished.

configure ediff and smerge with magit for easier merge conflict resolution

despite it's small configuration, I don't think it would fit well in any other configuration file for now and should require it's own separate configuration file ( elisp/init-expand-rgion.el )

current look of dashboard :

primary accent color of flate is cyan which should be use instead of purple

The startup time tends to increase with more packages the config uses, this need to be optimised.

Problem

currently the beacon color is set to static cyan which although might work for flate theme but would cause problems with other themes.

Possible fix

the beacon color should change according to the theme ( most likely the highlight color of the theme )

despite being old technology, a lot of organisations ( especially open source ones ) still use IRC channels for general communication.
Though Emacs support IRC natively via ERC mode, it need a slight configuration for more productivity.

currently the default way to change the width/height of split buffer is to use the following functions

C-x ^ to make the current window taller (‘enlarge-window’)
C-x } to make it wider (‘enlarge-window-horizontally’)
C-x { to make it narrower (‘shrink-window-horizontally’)

though we can use universal arguments to to repeat this command multiple number of times, I am looking for a more interactive way.

currently thought is to either use hydra, use custom package or make a custom function for the same.

buffer list automatically refreshes after a small interval, causing working on it almost impossible and extremely annoying task.

I guess enabling auto revert mode have something to do with it

use exec-path-from-shell package to extract path variable from shell making it possible to use native compiling on macOS as it can't locate libgccjit properly otherwise.

colors on magit screen doesn't look very good, this needs changing.

current "how to use" section in docs only covers old configuration (where everything was in one init.el file ), a lot of changes have been made since then

according to the document string above the function, it is meant to be activated on start of c++-mode hook which it is never used.

Problem Description

Magit is getting loaded at startup time and is taking a fair bit of startup time even though it is not needed at startup time.

Possible Fix

load magit when we first time need it ( maybe when calling magit-status function for the first time ), as magit's config is wrapped in use-package block, i should be as simple as adding such functions in :commands section of it.

(use-package magit
  :commands magit-status
.... )

currently the configuration is using the example configuration that is found on dired-rainbow repository which looks out of place with current theme.

I am thinking to color less file types ( only the important ones ) and change rest of theme to match the color scheme we get going on with the whole configuration.

I personally think that "bar" cursor looks much better and modern compared to classical "box" cursor which is there by default.

currently there is no way to turn the frame in from vertical split configuration to horizontal split configuration or visa-versa.

I think I should either use transpose-frame mode or write a custom function for the same.

Currently there are a lot of files and directories that are not meant to be tracked by git right, creating a lot of noise in git-status ( magit-status buffer ) .
the repository should have a .gitignore file with all those entires to make git ignore all of them.

I currently use emacs mostly in full screen mode and barely switches back to windowed mode.

the config should start with toggle-frame-fullscreen as set.
This should most probably fit either in early config (which is yet to be populated) or in UI config (check elisp/init-ui-config.el )

while the minibuffer works in all the other modes, it kind of mess up in org mode ( I suspect it is due to visual fill mode but am not sure )

Overview

The config needs lsp to give full IDE like experience, currently I am planning to only configure it for C++ as that is the environment I develop the most.

file/s of interest :

• elisp/cc.el

Emacs can be built with xwidgets support which makes it possible for Emacs to render webkit based content, and thus allowing us to perform general web-browsing right from Emacs.

This not only includes rebuilding the Emacs with xwidget support but also change the documentation to contain information about the same.

In elisp/init-theme, custom-theme-directory variable is set to a relative path.

This would cause problems while loading a custom theme when outside the elisp subdirectory

I suppose adding a background to the image should fix the issue.

Instead of diminishing all the minor modes as described in #12 , it's much better to toggle it from the mode line itself

currently the majority of the old config is set up rationally ( without use-package ), I think the entire config should be consistent and should use "use-package" for those also.

org noter is loading on Emacs startups, practically increasing the startup time of emacs.

Ideally we would only need org noter mode whenever we are in an org mode buffer, so it should be loaded after org or more preferably on first "org-noter" command.

my workflow involves working with cmake files and cmake-mode helps in providing proper syntax highlighting and indentation in cmake files.

the configuration should be in init-cc.el file.

after a bit of experimenting around, I found out that web-mode is much more better when working with php files with embedded HTML in it.

Maybe there is a way to make php-mode and web-mode work hand in hand otherwise I would preffer to stick with web-mode instead of php-mode

warning message on startup :

⛔ Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘.emacs.d/init.el’:

File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, init-format

This should have been added in 2ed6ec7

The problem

currently the entire config is inside a single init.el which is getting harder and harder to manage as it grow bigger and bigger.

The Plan

i am planning to split the file into multiple elisp files, somewhat similar to how Mingde (Matthew) Zeng's config do it.

Problem description

Org mode is a heavy package to load and we don't always need it at the time of startup.

Though the package is configured to be launched when we open an org file, org-tempo is being loaded at startup time which in-turn requires org mode to be loaded ( increasing the startup time by a lot )

Possible fix

setting org-temp code block to be evaluated after loading org mode should most probably fix this issue

(with-eval-after-load 'org
  ;; This is needed as of Org 9.2
  (require 'org-tempo)
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("sh" . "src shell"))
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("el" . "src emacs-lisp"))
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("py" . "src python"))
  (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist '("cpp" . "src cpp")))

since emacs 27.1 and above, we have got in-build support for tab bar mode.

The default configured tab bar is not very good, the config already have some basic config set up in init-ui-config.el, but I think this should get it's own separate configuration file ( init-tab-bar.el )

while initialising themes in elisp/init-theme.el, a local directory should be assigned to house custom themes ( maybe some modified doom-themes )

(setq custom-theme-directory "../themes")

The repo needs some kind of docs to introduce and guide others ( or even future me) around the repo

Currently the init.el file s a mess, it needs to be well formatted so that one can easily navigate around the file.

screenshots of readme.md are outdated ( especially the theme )

since #49 ,The configuration now uses a custom doom-theme (inspired from flate) which changes the looks of the editor enough to call for a screenshot replacement.

dired-single package is being loaded at startup time hogging a bit of startup time, it should be deferred after dired

currently the dashboard icon is set to the following property

(:family "file-icons" :height 1.32 :inherit font-lock-keyword-face)

causing the following inconsistent coloration on dashboard with flate theme

It should either inherit face attributes from dashboard headings or from header to match their colors instead.

Add org noter to effortlessly take notes from PDF documents.

Line 24: typo in intialisations

s-w key-combo is already bound to closing frame on emacs ( on macOS at-least ), and then bound again in tab-bar mode config on line 54

possible fix

simply unbound S-w in global config where all other keybindings are unbound.

 ;; Unbind unneeded keys
+(global-set-key (kbd "s-w") nil)
 (global-set-key (kbd "C-z") nil)
 (global-set-key (kbd "M-z") nil)
 (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-z") nil)
