Quick start
This setup requires at least Emacs-30. The installation procedure starts with:
- Backup the
user-emacs-directorywhich defaults often to~/.emacs.d. - Run the listing prepare the
user-emacs-directorywithoutsshaccess or the listing prepare theuser-emacs-directorywithsshaccess commands.
After invoking Emacs interactively, Emacs will ask you to install a selected set of packages. Quit Emacs and invoke Emacs again.
cd ~
git clone https://forge.chapril.org/gav451/emacs.d.git .emacs.d
make --directory=.emacs.d init
emacs &cd ~
git clone ssh://gitea@forge.chapril.org:222/gav451/emacs.d.git .emacs.d
make --directory=.emacs.d init
emacs &Introduction
This Emacs setup aims to install automatically a minimal set of extension packages that allows to handle my reports and presentations. The file format of the reports is Org Mode plain text with Python source code blocks and the file format of the presentations is LaTeX.
This org file (more precisely the original org source file of this file) illustrates three methods in my work-flow:
- How to tangle (or export) source blocks from org files. This file contains
source blocks to produce the files
early-init.el,init.el,latexmkrc,org-store-link, andexample.pyby tangling. - How to export org files to other formats such as HTML, LaTeX, and PDF.
- How org hyperlinks (info) allow to link inside and outside Org Mode: hover over or click on the links to experiment.
The AUCTeX - Aalborg University Center TeX extension package provides a powerful Text-based User Interface (TUI) environment to edit the LaTeX presentations.
The Citar extension package provides quick filtering and selecting of bibliographic entries, and the option to run different commands on those selections. Citar exploits the extension packages Vertico, Embark, Marginalia, and Consult. The CiteProc extension package provides CSL: citation style language processing capabilities to Citar and Org Mode. A curated repository of CSL styles is the citation style language repository.
The PDF-Tools extension package renders PDF file with the possibility to
annotate the file or to click on anchors in the PDF file that link back to the
original LaTeX file of the document. An example of my work-flow are the steps
to convert this org file to PDF and to see the result with PDF-Tools in Emacs:
execute the commands pdf-tools-install, org-babel-tangle,
org-latex-export-latex-to-latex, and compile. This sets up an infinite
LaTeX compilation loop to update and redisplay the PDF file after execution of
the org-latex-export-latex-to-latex command in this buffer.
Here follows a list of interesting Emacs configurations:
- Kyle Meyer's configuration shows the working environment of an Emacs and Org developer.
- Musa Al-hassy's configuration is an impressive example of producing the Emacs initialization files and other files by tangling an org file. His methodology is impressive, as his Elisp Cheat Sheet and org-special-block-extra package show. To me, this is a configuration to admire, but his methodology is way over my head.
- Omar Antolin Camarena's configuration exploits built-in packages, Omar's own
small packages, and large external packages. Omar is the author of orderless
and embark. My use
setoptto set Emacs options instead of the customize interface comes from his idea of usingcustom-set-variablesalthough that idea is bad Emacs advice for new users. - Pierre Neirhardt's configuration implements lazy loading without help of external packages. I have stolen his approach of using lazy loading to silently ignore the setup stanzas of uninstalled extension packages.
- Sacha Chua's configuration is a practical example of producing the Emacs initialization files by tangling an org file. It gives me the impression that she is a practical person trying to achieve her goals by the most efficient means.
- Steve Purcell's configuration is well organized and a showcase of readable code. Its commit and issue histories are also helpful: see for instance the discussion The order of company candidates is incorrect in Emacs lisp mode.
Here follows a list of links on how to use Emacs and Elisp:
- Mastering Emacs is a link to a blog with interesting posts that promotes a book on how to become a proficient Emacs user.
- Use GNU Emacs: The Plain Text Computing Environment explains the fundamentals of the Emacs abstractions before showing how to exploit those abstractions interactively. It targets a similar audience as the Mastering Emacs book.
- A guided tour of Emacs is a link to a video tour pointing how buffers (info), dired (info), documentation (info), elisp (info), elisp debugging (info), eshell (info), and keyboard macros (info) turn Emacs in an powerful coding and editing environment.
- Emergency Emacs is a link to a video on fundamental editing features and principles with focus on ediff (info), undo (info), moving point (info), erasing (info), and dynamic abbreviations (info).
- Endless Parentheses is a blog with mindblowing code snippets.
- How to open a file in Emacs looks into elisp (info) and elisp debugging (info) and then compares Emacs, Vim, Neovim, and Visual Studio Code with respect to values and technology.
- Learning Emacs and Elisp is a link to a video tutorial with a transcript on the best approach to learn Emacs and Elisp.
Early Init File (info)
Try to load no-littering as early as possible, since it helps to keep
~/.emacs.d clean.
;;; early-init.el --- user early-init file -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;;; Commentary:
;;; Code:
(setq load-prefer-newer t)
(require 'no-littering nil 'noerror)
(provide 'early-init)
;; Emacs looks for "Local variables:" after the last "?\n?\f".
;; Local Variables:
;; indent-tabs-mode: nil
;; End:
;;; early-init.el ends hereIn order to get help in understanding the code block above in a buffer showing the original Org source file, type
(eval
after moving point (or cursor) to one of the items of the list:- src_emacs-lisp[:results none]{(describe-variable #'load-prefer-newer t)}
- src_emacs-lisp[:results none]{(apropos-library "no-littering")}
- src_emacs-lisp{(find-function #'hack-local-variables)}
to execute the code between the curly braces for access to help. This shows that Emacs is a self-documenting editor.
Init File (info) header
The user-init-file header requires cl-lib and sets Emacs options. It
consists of three parts in listing lst:1st-setopt-call, lst:2nd-setopt-call, and
lst:2nd-setopt-call in order to limit the length of the listings for exporting
to LaTeX.
The init file (info) does load the custom-file according to the recommendation
of saving customizations (info).

Emacs installs packages from archives on the internet. This setup uses five archives:
- The GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive.
- The Development Emacs Lisp Package Archive.
- The NonGNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive.
- The Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive (MELPA) with its official mirror in case is Melpa.org down? tells MELPA is down for everyone.
- The Stable Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive.
The code in listing lst:install-selected-packages assumes that the package system is in a virgin state if the package no-littering is not present:
- It installs and loads no-littering after ensuring refreshing of the contents of available packages.
- It calls src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(package-install-selected-packages)} to check the installation status of all packages in src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{package-selected-packages} and to install the missing packages after the user has agreed to its prompt.
- It defines a function to ensure the installation of packages in other source blocks.
In case of normal Emacs usage, src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(list-packages)} refreshes the contents of packages and allows to update packages to the latest version.

This setup does not use custom themes (info) to avoid endless tweaking, but it does a minimal setup of fonts and faces. See the note on mixed font heights in Emacs for how to setup fonts properly. It boils down to two rules:
- The height of the default face must be an integer number to make the height a physical quantity.
- The heights of all other faces must be real numbers to scale those heights with respect to the height of the face (those heights default to 1.0 for no scaling).
The code in listing lst:configure-face-attributes implements those rules. Listing lst:face-setting-functions shows that font scaling is easy in case of proper initialization of all face heights in a frame. To adjust the font size in windows, invoke src_emacs-lisp adjust the font size in the current buffer, type to invoke src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(text-scale-adjust +1)} before making further adjustments as displayed. Listing lst:face-setting-functions, lst:shadow-org-font-lock-faces, and lst:shadow-emacs-font-lock-faces show tweaks to improve visibility without theming:
- Toggling between a dark and light background by means of src_emacs-lisp{(invert-default-face)}.
- Shadowing the definition of faces before loading. The last item in the page on fontifying Org mode source code blocks describes this method.
Listing lst:use-buffer-face-mode-for-fixed-or-variable-pitch-face contains
functions to set a fixed or variable pitch face in the current buffer and
selects a fixed pitch face for magit-mode and progmode buffers. Type

Dired: directory editor as file manager (info)
Dired (info) and the ranger file manager offer similar capabilities for copying, deleting, opening, renaming, and viewing files and directories, but the integration of dired (info) in Emacs is obviously much better than the integration of ranger in Emacs.
For instance, this setup allows to insert an org-mode link to a file
containing a specific image into an org-mode buffer by means of the facilities
of dired (info) as follows:
- Type
(eval
to open the directory containing the file with the specific image in adired-modebuffer. - Start searching for the specific image by navigating to the name of any image file.
- Type
(eval
to switch to view the file in animage-modebuffer. -
In the
image-modebuffer, continue searching for the specific image by typing:(eval
to view the next image in thedired-modebuffer,(eval
to view the previous image in thedired-modebuffer, and(eval
to quit theimage-modebuffer and to go back to thedired-modebuffer.
- After finding the specific image, use
(eval
in theimage-modebuffer or thedired-modebuffer to store theorg-link. - Switch to the
org-modebuffer and use(eval
to insert theorg-linkinto the buffer.
Listing lst:set-dired-options makes the directory editor sort entries alphabetically after grouping the directories before grouping the files by extension.

Emacs can act as a server that listens to a socket to share its state (for
instance buffers and command history) with other programs by means of a shell
command emacsclient. Section #sec:latexmk-save-compile-display-loop and
#sec:qutebrowser-userscript show how to use emacsclient to:
- Install an asynchronous (or background) loop of saving a LaTeX file, compiling it, and redisplaying the output in Emacs.
- Make qutebrowser send html links with document titles to Emacs.
The code in listing lst:start-emacs-server starts the Emacs server.
(when window-system
(unless (or noninteractive (daemonp))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'server-start)))Latexmk save-compile-display loop
The latexmk resource file in the next source code block shows how to use
emacsclient to (re)display the PDF file in Emacs after each successful
(re)compilation on condition that the local compile-command variable is
correct. The local compile-command variable in the local variables section
(only visible in org files, but not in html and pdf files) shows how to
make use of the latexmkrc file.
# pdf creator
$pdf_mode = 4; # 4 means lualatex
# pdf previewer and update pdf previewer
$pdf_previewer = "emacsclient -e '(find-file-other-window %S)'";
$pdf_update_method = 4; # 4 runs $pdf_update_command to force the update
$pdf_update_command = "emacsclient -e '(with-current-buffer (find-buffer-visiting %S) (pdf-view-revert-buffer nil t))'";

# Emacs looks for "Local variables:" after the last "newline-formfeed".
# Local Variables:
# mode: perl
# End:Qutebrowser userscript
The next block contains an userscript that sends a store-link org-protocol
message with the url and the title from qutebrowser to emacsclient. The
function urlencode translates the url and the title for the message. The
Python urllib examples show how to use urlencode. The final execvp call
deals with a qutebrowser userscript requirement: the emacsclient process must
get the PID of the userscript that must kill itself after the take-over.
Termination of the emacsclient process hands control back to qutebrowser.
On a POSIX system, you can run the userscript from qutebrowser or from a terminal to see whether it works. In case you try to run it from Emacs, Emacs may hang or die.

Regexp Replace (info)
Executing

- Regexp Replace (info) explains how the substitution handles references to regular expression groups and lisp expressions.
- Syntax of Regular Expressions (info) describes regular expression features for users.
- Emacs Lisp Regular Expressions (info) describes regular expression features for programmers.
- Emacs Wiki has an article on replacing regexp with lisp expressions.

Writing
Writing LaTeX files
Loading tex.el immediately instead of lazily ensures proper initialization of
AUCTeX. In particular, the TeX-master safe local variable in the tex.el
elisp library file has no autoload cookie. Without prior loading of tex.el,
Emacs will complain that TeX-master is no safe local variable in case it reads
a LaTeX file that sets TeX-master. The list below summarizes the main AUCTeX
configuration objectives:
- Listing lst:set-tex-options ensures installation of AUCTeX and initializes
AUCTeX properly for
LuaTeXorLuaLaTeX. - Listing lst:set-tex-options also enables indenting between square brackets which is a recent feature.
- Listing lst:update-lualatex-opentype-font-name-database defines a function to
update the
OpenType Fontname database forLuaLaTeXwhen the output ofLuaLaTeXshows missing fonts. - Listing lst:set-bibtex-options configures the Emacs
bibtexlibrary to use the LaTeXBiBTeXdialect for backwards compatibility. - Listing lst:set-font-latex-options disables font scaling of section titles.
- Listing lst:set-latex-options configures

Setup Org
I have split the initial Org-mode setup over fifteen listings. Here, follows a list detailing and motivating each listing:
- Listing lst:set-org-options handles basic Org-mode options.
- Listing lst:org-capture-templates initializes a simple capture template.
- Listing lst:undo-org-ctags undoes
org-ctags. See org-ctags land grab for more information. - Listing lst:setup-org-babel sets
ob-core,ob-latex, andob-lispoptions. See working with source code (info) for Org Babel information. - Listing lst:no-org-babel-eval prevents evaluation of blocks without an
org-babel-execute:<LANG>function and adds fakeorg-babel-execute:<LANG>functions to silence(eval
warnings. - Listing lst:set-org-link-options handles Org-mode options specific to hyperlinks (info).
- Listing lst:looking-at-org-id enables recent
org-idfeatures. - Listing lst:setup-org-mode-map-1 and lst:setup-org-mode-map-2 extend the
org-mode-mapwith useful key-bindings. - Listing lst:setup-org-src facilitates editing source code blocks, and it
provides functions to change the indentation of all
org-src-modeblocks. - Listing lst:setup-ob-python allows to pretty-print Python session source
block values with black instead of pprint. This snippet may break in the
future, because it sets
org-babel-python--def-format-valuewhich is a constant declared "private" by two dashes in its name! - Listing lst:set-org-export-options selects the
non-intrusiveexpert user interface for export dispatching. - Listing lst:setup-org-for-lualatex-export and lst:set-ox-latex-options-for-lualatex-export configure Org-mode to generate output for the LuaLaTeX compiler.
- Listing lst:setup-org-latex-classes defines org-latex-classes (info) for
backward compatibility. For an explanation of the code in listing
lst:setup-org-latex-classes, type

Citar is a completing-read front-end to browse and act on BibTeX, BibLaTeX, as
well as CSL JSON bibliographic data with LaTeX, markdown, and org-cite editing
support. In combination with vertico, embark, marginalia, and consult, Citar
provides quick filtering and selecting of bibliographic entries from the
minibuffer as well as the option to run different commands on those
selections. The article Citations in org-mode: Org-cite and Citar tries to walk
you from understanding the general context (bibliography producer, text
processor, text to product converter) to an Emacs setup. Listing
lst:set-oc+citar-options shows the oc and citar setup with binding of
(eval

Ref. [cite:@Schulte.MCSE.2011.41] shows that Org-mode is a simple, plain-text
markup language for hierarchical documents allowing intermingling of data, code,
and prose. It serves as an example link to show how to use Citar within this
setup, provided that citar-bibliography and citar-library-paths point to
valid directories and files. In an Org-mode buffer this setup allows to:
-
Insert one or more Org-mode cite links:
- Type .
-
Choose one or multiple citations from the bibliography:
- by navigating to an item and selecting it with
(eval
- by repeatingly navigating to an item and preselecting it with .
- by navigating to an item and selecting it with
-
View an electronic copy of an Org-mode cite link:
- Move point to the Org-mode cite link.
- Type .
- Navigate to the corresponding library file.
- Select it.
-
Open the DOI of an Org-mode cite link:
- Move point to the Org-mode cite link.
- Type .
- Navigate to the corresponding link.
- Select it.

citarfunctions may be useful too:- src_emacs-lisp{(call-interactively 'citar-insert-citation)}.

This package has a front-end that processes fontified buffers and pipes its
output into one of three back-ends for export to LaTeX, HTML and text with ANSI
escape codes. It is an alternative to minted in case of LaTeX export or to
htmlized in case of HTML export.
The listings below work around one issue with spacing in the pdf output
resulting from use of the engraved source block back-end during LaTeX
export. They increase the quality of the export results of this README.org and
the user-friendliness of this facility to a level acceptable for my workflow:
- The default Org export configuration for engraving listings produces
pdfoutput with a non-equidistant interline spacing in floating listings (those with captions) and equidistant interline spacing in non-floatingtcolorboxenvironments (those without captions). I have traced the non-equidistant interline spacing back to thebreakableoption ofCodeenvironments insidelistingenvironments. However,tcolorboxrequiresbreakablefor listings that do not fit on a page. The filterorg-latex-engraved-source-block-filterin listing lst:org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter and theorg-latex-engraved-preamblecustomization in listing lst:smart-latex-engrave-org-source-blocks allow to engraveorg-modesource blocks to "floating unbreakable with caption" or "non-floating breakable without caption" LaTeX environments. This is a partial work-around, but part of my workflow. - Listing lst:ox-engraved-emacs-lisp-setup shows how to use this configuration.

Note: How to include LaTeX packages in a LaTeX export block.
Listing lst:source-file-export-keyword-settings shows the preamble lines of this
/gav451/emacs.d/src/branch/main/README.org file. It lists the export keyword settings, the definition of
the Org mode kbd macro and the source block that generates part of the LaTeX
preamble. Listing lst:latex-header-1, lst:latex-header-2, lst:latex-header-3,
lst:latex-header-4, and lst:latex-header-5 show the LaTeX source blocks that
contain the LaTeX preamble. All LaTeX listings in this section can be and are
handled by noweb (info).
<<latex-header-1>><<latex-header-2>><<latex-header-3>><<latex-header-4>><<latex-header-5>>Deprecated LaTeX preamble editing methods
NOTE: This Org (info) file uses the recommended method of noweb trickery in Section #sec:file-inclusion-and-noweb.
There are at least two deprecated (old and historic) ways to edit the Org
#+latex_header: and #+latex_extra_header: keywords easily
for export to LaTeX, see LaTeX header and sectioning (info).
The old way – exploiting an idea of Omar Antolin Camarena – is to code new <LANGUAGE>-modes allowing to edit in LaTeX mode and to export to LaTeX code with correct LaTeX preamble export setting prefixes. Here, are links to three posts exposing his idea:
- Export LaTeX macros to LaTeX and HTML/MathJax preambles (reddit),
- Export JavaScript source blocks to script tags in HTML (reddit),
- Export JavaScript source blocks to script tags in HTML (SX).
Listing lst:org-babel-latex-header-blocks implements this way by means of two
new <LANGUAGE>-modes: latex-header and latex-extra-header.
The old way is to define two Org Babel languages (latex-extra-header and
latex-header) as done in Listing lst:org-babel-latex-header-blocks. The
historic way is to use a special export attribute as in the function
org-latex-header-blocks-filter in ox-extra.el. Apparently, nobody is using
this broken function (broken, since it relies on support only in org-mode before
2014-11-11). Listing lst:org-latex-header-blocks-filter proposes a fix for
org-latex-header-blocks-filter. This setup keeps the deprecated ways for
backwards compatibility. A practical difference is that new way source blocks
(contrary to old way export blocks) do not work in #+SETUPFILE: <FILE>, but only
in #+INCLUDE: <FILE> files.

Two tools to grok how Org mode parsing works are the Org Syntax specification and the Org mode parser tutorial. The Org element parsing API boils down to three functions:
- The function
org-element-parse-bufferimplements a fully recursive buffer parser that returns an abstract syntax tree. - The functions
org-element-at-pointandorg-element-contextreturn information on the document structure around point either at the element level or at the object level in case oforg-element-context.
Listing lst:grok-org-element-tree improves the Org mode parser tutorial by
defining interactive wrappers that pretty print the results of those
non-interactive org-element functions to an Emacs-lisp buffer.

define src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(describe-variable 'global-abbrev-table)}
and to store it in src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(describe-variable
'abbrev-file-name)} to manage its changes with git. I can change the
abbreviation definitions in this file by means of:
- Execute src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(edit-abbrevs)} to alter abbreviation
definitions by editing an
*Abbrevs*buffer. - Add, edit, or remove definitions of the form
"source" 1 "target"under the global or a mode-specific table. - Execute src_emacs-lisp{(abbrev-edit-save-buffer)} to save all user abbreviation definitions in the current buffer.

Writegood mode is a minor mode to aid in finding common writing problems. The
post Matt Might's "My Ph.D. advisor rewrote himself in bash" scripts inspired
this mode. Listing lst:configure-writegood-mode configures writegood mode and
enables writegood-mode for text-mode buffers. Therefore, the best way use
it for this buffer is by typing
(eval
to export the it to atext-mode buffer where the writegood-mode faces are more visible.

Listing lst:setup-which-function-mode sets which-function-mode options. The
post Emacs: which-function-mode claims that which-function-mode works in
org-mode. This is true in case all document headlines are simple, but is not
true in case document headlines contain links. The code in listing
lst:define-for-which-func-functions has stolen ideas from the following links:

Programming Tools
Eglot (info)
Emacs polyGLOT (Eglot) is an Emacs language-server-protocol client that stays out of your way. Eglot (info) is a builtin since Emacs-29.1. The following listings contribute to a programming language mode independent Eglot configuration:
- Listing minimal Eglot setup adds key bindings to
eglot-mode-keymap. - Listing lst:setup-eglot-jl adds Julia support to Eglot (info).
- Listing lst:cli-eglot-jl-setup shows how to setup eglot-jl from the command line.
- Listing lst:setup-oglot uses oglot to enable using Eglot in
org-src-modeJulia and Python buffers. - Listing lst:eglot-maybe-ensure starts Eglot in case of proper programming modes and proper directory local variables (meaning in presence of a proper file .dir-locals.el in the root directory of any project using proper programming modes).
- Listing lst:whiten-black defines Emacs Lisp functions to undo (whiten) some output of Black after src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(org-babel-tangle)}.

Sly
Listing lst:configure-sly configures the Sly (info) Common Lisp IDE for Emacs for use with Steel Bank Common Lisp (sbcl):
- It configures
sly-default-lispandsly-lisp-implementationsas in theslydocumentation string instead of in the multiple lisps (info) manual. - It does not ensure the automatic connection to the lisp server (info) when
opening a Common Lisp file because it does not play well with
ob-lisp. - It configures searching documentation in the Common Lisp HyperSpec according to the basic customization (info) manual.
Listing lst:slink-sel allows to set or get the Sly string elision length. Finally, listing lst:configure-sly uses a technique to load Slynk faster (info) by means of a custom core file in src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(describe-variable 'no-littering-var-directory)}. Listing lst:sbcl-core-for-sly tangles to a script to dump such a SBCL core.

Listing lexical scope disassembly and dynamical scope disassembly disassemble identical code in case of respectively lexical and dynamical scope. Listing lexical scope disassembly results and dynamical scope disassembly results show the respective results.
The link how to enable lexical scope for Emacs Lisp in org-mode source blocks explains all possibilities of disabling or enabling lexical scope.

Points for further investigation are:
- Application of the Julia Pkg documentation requires
(eval
or a terminal because the inferior Julia interpreter provides no genuine terminal. Type or clickBREAKon theSIGNALSmenu to leave package mode. Type(eval
in package mode to see a list of added packages. Julia does not recognize dependencies anymore. Therefore, I have used package mode to addStaticLintandSymbolServerto make a patched version of eglot-jl work. - ESS support for the Julia language is a somewhat outdated description of how to obtain Julia support for Emacs Speaks Statistics and Emacs.
- Hands-On: Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia is a Julia book with good reviews.
- Julia by example is a showcase of 1- or 2-liners.
- PkgTemplates and PkgTemplates User Guide explain how to write a Julia package. How to develop a Julia package is friendlier but not up to date.
- Practical Julia is Julia book with good reviews.
- The list of installed packages in listing lst:list-julia-packages-result facilitate Julia Code Blocks in Babel because the list contains CSV and DataFrames.
- How to update automatically to the current stable release of Julia.
A list of interesting online course material is:
- A Deep Introduction to Julia for Data Science and Scientific Computing.
- Julia for Optimization and Learning.
- Julia for Optimization and Learning Scripts.
- Quantitative Economics with Julia (use backspace to leave package mode).
Here are links to Julia programming background videos:
- Creating a Julia Pkg with PkgTemplates.jl
- Revise.jl, Docstrings, Tests, and structuring a Julia package
Listing lst:setup-julia setups Julia support but requires manual tweaking of Makefile to replace sed with gsed and of ess-autoloads.el.

2.42.0Python programming
The Python Programming in Emacs wiki page lists options to enhance Emacs's
built-in python-mode. Here, the focus is on two Emacs packages and four Python
packages:
- Eglot - Emacs polyGLOT: a builtin LSP client since Emacs-29.1 and its author (who is a prolific Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp programmer) has also contributed to other parts of Emacs.
- Jedi is a static analysis tool for Python that is typically used in plugins for editors or integrated development environments. Jedi has a focus on autocompletion and object definition lookup functionality.
- Nowadays, Ruff is the fastest Python linter and a replacement for Flake8 with a variety of its plugins. Charlie Marsh explains why he started Ruff in the post Python tooling could be much faster.
- Python LSP Server is in my opinion the most complete Language Server Protocol implementation for Python and it handles Ruff thanks to the python-lsp-ruff plugin.
- Code-cells allows to edit IPython or Jupyter notebooks in Emacs with help from either Jupytext or Pandoc.
Here are links covering how to integrate Emacs, Python and a Python LSP server, before plunging into the configuration steps:
- Building Your Own Emacs IDE with LSP
- Doom Emacs and Language Servers
- Eglot based Emacs Python IDE
- Getting started with lsp-mode for Python
- Python & Emacs, Take 3

Python-mode
Listing setup Python mode selects a common Python interpreter in a virtual
environment for use in python-mode and ob-python. The pythonic, pyvenv, and
pyvenv packages allow to handle Python virtual environments within Emacs. The
pyenv package provides support to work with pyenv (eventually with
pyenv-virtualenv) to select between different python versions (eventually each
with different environments). In the end, all those packages do is to set
python-shell-virtualenv-root (in case of pyenv and pythonic) or tweak the
environment variables and restart the relevant Python child processes (in case
of pyvenv). Therefore, I replace those packages with listing access pyenv and
select a Python interpreter in a virtual environment to set
python-shell-virtualenv-root from within Emacs.
Install isort and pyflakes to enable adding, removing, sorting, and fixing import statements in Python-mode, see the end of the commentary src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(find-library "python")} section.
Listing kickoff pyproject.toml proposal facilitates dropping a pyproject.toml file into Python projects which anyhow should switch to using a pyproject.toml file as explained in the post This Way Up: A Bottom-Up Look At Python Packaging. The packaging Python projects tutorial and the Python sample project walk you through the process of writing a pyproject.toml file. Ruff docstring setup explains how to setup documentation string checking in the pyproject.toml file.
Listing kickoff setup.cfg proposal implements the using black with other tools rules which make flake8 or pycodestyle agree with black's uncompromising style.
Finally, listing flake8-nocolor and ruff-nocolor pipe the stdout output of the
flake8 and ruff executables through cat to remove escape sequences.

(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'ws-butler-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'ws-butler-mode))Structural editing
Structural editing keeps character pairs (for instance parentheses, curly and
square brackets as well as single and double quotes) balanced to leave code (for
instance Lisp and Python) and text (for instance LaTeX and Org) structure
intact. I use smartparens which offers a normal mode (smartparens-mode) and a
strict mode (smartparens-strict-mode). Although both modes insert character
pairs, the normal mode allows to delete one of the paired characters easily
while the strict mode does not. Therefore, the strict mode is more for code
editing since it never breaks programming language rules and the normal mode is
more for text editing where structure is a matter of convention instead of
programming language rules.
For instance, the strict mode in Python allows to delete entire lists, tuples,
or the arguments after the cursor (what Emacs calls point) in a function call
without breaking the character pair balance. In order to repair a broken
character pair balance, insert a single character by prefixing it with "C-q"
bound to quoted-insert.
The smartparens documentation targets experienced Emacs users. The following links show how to put the documentation to practical use:
- The smartparens cheatsheet demonstrates its usage visually.
- Omar Antolin's gist "my-smartparens-config.el" is the first place to look for how to tweak smartparens. However, the gist may be partially obsolete, since it is not part of his current Emacs configuration.
- How to enable smartparens in the minibuffer after eval-expression explains
how the machinery after the first and after later usages of
eval-expressiondiffer and discusses options how to handle those differences.
Listing lst:configure-smartparens aims to configure smartparens for Go, LaTeX, Lisp dialects, Org, and Python. Execute src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(sp-cheat-sheet)} for short documentation taking into account the overridden key bindings in listing lst:configure-smartparens. Table tab:smartparens-commands-and-bindings lists commands with key bindings taken in order from src_emacs-lisp[:results silent]{(sp-cheat-sheet)} that takes the overrides of listing lst:configure-smartparens into account.
Despite the provocative post "What if structural editing was a mistake?",
smartparens is one of my favorite packages. In particular, smartparens handles
matching pairs in Org-mode files with export and source blocks for multiple
formats and languages almost (exceptions are due to Search failed errors
inside source blocks) correctly. Therefore, show-smartparens-mode highlights
matching pairs immediately in front or after point in such files correctly,
contrary to for instance rainbow-delimiters.

When emms-player-mpd opens a connection to mpd and mpd is not running,
mpd responds with a message of the form "OK MPD 0.23.5". Neither
emms-player-mpd nor its support library tq anticipate the "OK MPD 0.23.5"
message, but send such messages to a new intrusive buffer called *spurious*.
Listing lst:hiding-spurious-buffers hides those *spurious* buffers, but you
can always switch to them. See:
- The Zen of Buffer Display (info)
- Configuring the Emacs display system
- Demystifying Emacs's Window Manager
for technical information.
