I mostly use C-x C-m instead of M-x as I for some reason find it less annoying to type. I really like helm-command's helm-M-x function, but I find slightly too slow and slightly too intrusive than smex. Hence I'm switching back my main keybinding to smex, but still leaving helm-M-x bound to the M-x keybinding I use very rarely, just so I can still access it when I need to.
jimeh's .emacs.d (a.k.a. Emacs Siren)
This is my personal Emacs config, currently nicknamed Emacs Siren, and heavily inspired by Emacs Prelude.
However, this is not some form of an Emacs starter kit, it's simply my personal config with any quirks, oddities, bugs, and man-eating errors I live with on a daily basis.
Requirements
- Emacs 25.3 or later. Earlier versions might work, but I haven't tested them.
Installation
-
Clone the repo to
~/.emacs.d, and update git submodules:git clone git://github.com/jimeh/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d cd ~/.emacs.d -
Launch Emacs and wait a few minutes while it installs all packages.
-
Enjoy ^_^
Why not use Emacs Prelude?
Prelude is nice and all, but I don't need everything it does. I need a config that does what I need without having to potentially counter and/or work against some config framework. Hence I prefer rolling my own.
The way Prelude structures it's files and code however is very great, and something I took to heart when I started working on a rewrite of my config, and hence Emacs Siren was born.
Why call my config Emacs Siren?
I had been playing a lot of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and decided to pick a name based on a enemy type from the game. "Siren" was short and kinda cool sounding.
