Hello Harry,

I've been using your talks (on youtube and Sacha Chua's interview) to get up to speed using emacs and org-mode. I'm much indebted and thank you.

Question about stowing my .emacs.d directory. I'm using your "Literate Config.org" recommendation which has my ~/.emacs file pointing to ~/.emacs.d/config.org (init). I want to git my emacs setup so it can be cloned on any computer. Trouble is, I don't know what to do with .emacs.d directory. Its CHOCK full of stuff that I likely don't want/need to put under VC.

Can you give some direction on how you handle yours?

Take care!

it's only a proposal

You seem to have some crufty settings there.

Hello Harry,
Emacs newbie here (mainly use vim) for your epic org-mode configs. I'm currently on spacemacs because it was recommended to me by my emacs buddies. Would you recommend folding your configs into spacemacs, or starting over on vanilla emacs?
Thanks,
Nick

A number of my Emacs packages rely on system binaries. use-package includes an extension to make that dependency explicit and to install the packages using the system's package manager if they're not already available.

I'm currently installing all my system binaries in a shell script, but maybe some of 'em would be more appropriate in use-package declarations instead?

I've been having a great time setting up my literate emacs init file using your method. Not sure how to debug a code block that won't initialize during startup though. Here is an example block that I have to run M-x eval-r to initialize. Why isn't this "firing" up with the rest of the source blocks in my config.org file?

Any ideas?

* Calfw setup
#+BEGIN_SRC 
(require 'calfw)
(require 'calfw-org)

(defun my-open-calendar ()
  (interactive)
  (cfw:open-calendar-buffer
   :contents-sources
   (list
    (cfw:org-create-source "Green")  ; orgmode source
)))
#+END_SRC

Thanks

Hi, I've been trying your font changing functions and found that the font size setting for new frames gets 'stuck'. Because hrs/set-font-size uses (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'font font-code)), if default-frame-alist contains that same cell already it won't be prepended again. If you increase and decrease the font size you end up with it having a value such as:

((font . "Inconsolata-14")
 (font . "Inconsolata-16"))

And then if you increase again, the setting of 16 will not be added and new frames will be size 14, out of sync with existing frames. I am using a local change to use setcdr if 'font is already set:

(defun hrs/set-font-size ()
  "Set the font to `hrs/default-font' at `hrs/current-font-size'.
Set that for the current frame, and also make it the default for
other, future frames."
  (let ((font-code (hrs/font-code)))
    (if (assoc 'font default-frame-alist)
        (setcdr (assoc 'font default-frame-alist) font-code)
      (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'font font-code)))
    (set-frame-font font-code nil t)))

In your configuration.org, you use (setq use-package-always-ensure t) to make sure that when you use a package with use-package <package>, it automatically gets installed if not present (at lest this is what I understand).

I've tried this, and the next line fails: (use-package auto-compile [...]) fails with something like cannot find auto-compile. By looking at use-package github page here, I see that they use (require 'use-package-ensure) before. So I tried adding this before, and it works.

So it might be useful :-)

Hello,

I get following errors after using configuration.org file:

Error (use-package): Failed to install evil: Failed to verify signature: "undo-tree-0.6.5.el.sig"
Error (use-package): Cannot load evil
Error (use-package): Failed to install evil-collection: Failed to verify signature: "undo-tree-0.6.5.el.sig"

Error (use-package): Failed to install evil-org: Failed to verify signature: "undo-tree-0.6.5.el.sig"

Error (use-package): Failed to install moody: Package ‘emacs-25.3’ is unavailable
Error (use-package): Cannot load moody
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/khan/.emacs’:

error: Font not available, #<font-spec nil nil Inconsolata-11 nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil ((:name . Inconsolata-11) (:user-spec . Inconsolata-11))>

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.

Can anyone help me here?

For exporting syntax-highlighted code snippets from Org to HTML.

it does slow down the login a little bit though because you have to wait for the git fetch to complete

albertyw/dotfiles@e290b5e

See http://henrytodd.org/notes/2014/simpler-gnupg-mutt-config-with-gpgme/.

We need that for syntax highlighting with minted, which is used when generating LaTeX documents from Org.

This'll entail adding the python3 package. We'll also need to run pip3 install pygmentize somewhere, probably in a new script.

I get the following errors when rebooting emacs.

Error (use-package): Cannot load evil-magit
Error (use-package): Cannot load git-timemachine

The current ellipsis is ⤵. However, when I put it in my config file, it does not look like the one in your video "Getting Started With Org Mode". I prefer that one, as it resembles a healthier looking penis than the current one. Do you happen to know where I can get it?

Thanks. And I'm glad I came across that video and then see your well-documented and organized org-mode style config, very valuable for a newbie.

P.S. It seems that you don't use line numbers? (Just did a quick search of linum--I'm curious because I've read that the solutions to using relative numbers in Emacs are not deal as they usually don't deal with folding, have performance issues, etc.)

Hey,

I am receiving a bunch of errors after opening emacs. I ran "emacs --debug-init". Following are the errors I am having:
