* Introduction
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:introduction
:END:
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 [[https://orgmode.org/][Org Mode]] plain text with [[https://www.python.org/][Python]] source code blocks and the file
format of the presentations is [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]].
This [[info:org#Top][org]] file (more precisely the original [[info:org#Top][org]] source file of this file)
illustrates three methods in my work-flow:
1. How to tangle (or export) source blocks from [[info:org#Top][org]] files. This file contains
source blocks to produce the files =early-init.el=, =init.el=, =latexmkrc=, =org-store-link=, and =example.py= by tangling.
2. How to export [[info:org#Top][org]] files to other formats such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML][HTML]], [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]].
3. How [[info:org#Hyperlinks][org hyperlinks (info)]] allow to link inside and outside [[info:org#Top][Org Mode]]: hover
over or click on the links to experiment.
The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][AUCTeX - Aalborg University Center TeX]] extension package provides a
powerful [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface][Text-based User Interface (TUI)]] environment to edit the [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]]
presentations.
The [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][Citar]] extension package provides quick filtering and selecting of
bibliographic entries, and the option to run different commands on those
selections. [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][Citar]] requires at least [[info:org#Top][Org (info)]]-9.5 , which is already part of
Emacs-28.1. [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][Citar]] exploits the enhancements of Emacs' builtin selection
mechanism provided by the extension packages [[https://github.com/minad/vertico][vertico]], [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][embark]], [[https://github.com/minad/marginalia][marginalia]], and
[[https://github.com/minad/consult][consult]]. The [[https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el][citeproc]] extension package provides
[[https://citationstyles.org/][CSL: citation style language]] processing
capabilities to [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar][citar]] and [[https://orgmode.org/][Org Mode]]. The [[https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles#readme][citation style language: style
repository]] links to a curated repository of CSL styles.
The [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][pdf-tools]] extension package renders [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file with the possibility to
annotate the file or to click on anchors in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file that link back to the
original [[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]] file of the document. An example of my work-flow are the steps
to convert this [[info:org#Top][org]] file to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] and to see the result with [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][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
[[https://www.latex-project.org/][LaTeX]] compilation loop to update and redisplay the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF][PDF]] file after excution of
the ~org-latex-export-latex-to-latex~ command in this buffer.
Here follows a list of interesting Emacs configurations:
1. [[https://github.com/alhassy/emacs.d][Musa Al-hassy's configuration]] is an impressive example of producing the Emacs
initialization files and other files by tangling an [[info:org#Top][org]] file. His methodology
is impressive, as his [[https://alhassy.github.io/ElispCheatSheet/][Elisp Cheat Sheet]] and [[https://alhassy.github.io/org-special-block-extras/][org-special-block-extra package]]
show. To me, this is a configuration to admire, but his methodology is way
over my head.
2. [[https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config][Omar Antolin Camarena's configuration]] exploits built-in packages, Omar's own
small packages, and large external packages. Omar is the author of [[https://github.com/oantolin/orderless][orderless]]
and [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][embark]]. I have stolen his idea of using ~custom-set-variables~ instead
of the customize interface although that is [[https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/bad-emacs-advice][bad Emacs advice]] for new users.
3. [[https://gitlab.com/ambrevar/dotfiles][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.
4. [[https://sachachua.com/dotemacs/][Sacha Chua's configuration]] is a practical example of producing the Emacs
initialization files by tangling an [[info:org#Top][org]] file. It gives me the impression
that she is a very practical person trying to achieve her goals by the most
efficient means.
5. [[https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d][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 [[https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/issues/778][The order of company candidates is incorrect in Emacs lisp mode]].
Here follows a list of links on how to use Emacs and Elisp:
1. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkIicfzPBys][A guided tour of Emacs]] is a link to a video tour pointing how [[info:emacs#Buffers][buffers (info)]],
[[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]], [[info:emacs#Help][documentation (info)]], [[info:elisp#Top][elisp (info)]], [[info:elisp#Debugging][elisp debugging (info)]],
[[info:eshell#Top][eshell (info)]], and [[info:emacs#Keyboard Macros][keyboard macros (info)]] turn Emacs in an powerful coding
and editing environment.
2. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWp05OW1c0][Emergency Emacs]] is a link to a video on fundamental editing features and
principles with focus on [[info:ediff#Top][ediff (info)]], [[info:emacs#Undo][undo (info)]], [[info:emacs#Moving Point][moving point (info)]],
[[info:emacs#Erasing][erasing (info)]], and [[info:emacs#Dynamic Abbrevs][dynamic abbreviations (info)]].
2. [[https://endlessparentheses.com/][Endless Parentheses]] is a blog with many mindblowing code snippets.
3. [[https://www.murilopereira.com/how-to-open-a-file-in-emacs/][How to open a file in Emacs]] looks into [[info:elisp#Top][elisp (info)]] and
[[info:elisp#Debugging][elisp debugging (info)]] and then compares Emacs, [[https://www.vim.org/][Vim]],
[[https://neovim.io/][Neovim]], and [[https://code.visualstudio.com/][Visual Studio Code]] with respect to values and technology.
4. [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-31-learning-emacs/][Learning Emacs and Elisp]] is a link to a video tutorial with a transcript on

The =user-init-file= header requires =cl-lib= and customizes Emacs variables.
It consists of four parts in listing [[lst:1st-custom-set-variables-call]],
[[lst:2nd-custom-set-variables-call]], [[lst:3rd-custom-set-variables-call]], and
[[lst:4th-custom-set-variables-call]] in order to limit the length of the listings
for exporting to LaTeX.
The [[info:elisp#Quoting][quoting (info)]] and the [[info:elisp#Backquote][backquote (info)]] pages explain how to understand the
~'~ (quote), ~`~ (backquote), ~,~ (substitute) and ~@,~ (splice) in the

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:install-selected-packages
:END:
[[info:emacs#Package Installation][Emacs installs packages]] from archives on the internet. This setup uses three
archives:
1. The [[https://elpa.gnu.org/][GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive]]
2. The [[https://elpa.nongnu.org/][NonGNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive]].
3. The [[https://melpa.org/#/][Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive (MELPA)]] with its official
[[https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/melpa.org/packages/][mirror]] in case [[https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/melpa.org][is Melpa.org down?]] tells [[https://melpa.org/#/][MELPA]] is down for everyone.
The code in listing [[lst:install-selected-packages]] assumes that the package
system is in a *virgin* state if the package [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]] is not present:
1. It installs and loads [[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]] after ensuring refreshing of the
contents of available packages.
2. It installs [[https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/org.html][Org (GNU-devel ELPA archive)]] early to shadow the built-in package
while preventing collisions between the snapshot and built-in packages.
3. It calls src_emacs-lisp{(package-install-selected-packages)} to check the
installation status of all packages in
src_emacs-lisp{package-selected-packages} and to install the missing packages
after the user has agreed to its prompt.
4. It defines a function to ensure the installation of packages in other source
blocks. This allows skipping installation in sections with a =:noexport:=
tag by disallowing tangling.
In case of normal Emacs usage, src_emacs-lisp{(package-list-packages)} refreshes
the contents of packages and allows to update packages to the latest version.

This setup does not configure [[info:emacs#Custom Themes][custom themes (info)]] in order to prevent endless
useless tweaking. See the [[https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2020-09-05-emacs-note-mixed-font-heights/][note on mixed font heights in Emacs]] for how to setup
fonts properly. It boils down to two rules:
1. The height of the default face must be an integer number to make the height a
physical quantity.
2. 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]] source implements those rules.
Listing [[lst:set-default-face-height]] shows that font scaling is easy in case of
proper initialization of all face heigths. Listing
[[lst:fix-gtk-color-for-invert-default-face]], [[lst:shadow-org-font-lock-faces]], and
[[lst:shadow-org-font-lock-faces]] show a few tweaks to improve visibility without
theming:
1. Fixing the =gtk= background color of the already loaded =region= face.
2. Toggling between a dark and light background by means of
src_emacs-lisp{(invert-default-face)}.
3. Shadowing the definition of faces before loading. The last item in the page
on [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/fontify-src-code-blocks.html#org5c4406f][fontifying Org mode source code blocks]] describes this method.

:CUSTOM_ID: sec:file-manager
:END:
[[info:emacs#Dired][Dired (info)]] and the [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] file manager offer similar capabilities for copying,
deleting, opening, renaming, and viewing files and directories, but the
integration of [[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]] in Emacs is obviously much better than the
integration of [[https://github.com/ranger/ranger#readme][ranger]] in Emacs.
For instance, this setup allows to insert an =org-mode= link to an poorly
identified file containing a specific image into an =org-mode= buffer by means
of the facilities of [[info:emacs#Dired][dired (info)]] as follows:
1. Type {{{kbd(C-x d)}}} to open the directory containing the pooly identified
file with the specific image in a =dired-mode= buffer.
2. Start searching for the specific image by navigating to the name of any image
file.
3. Type {{{kbd(v)}}} to switch to view the file in an =image-mode= buffer.
4. In the =image-mode= buffer, continue searching for the specific image by
typing:
- {{{kbd(n)}}} to view the next image in the =dired-mode= buffer,
- {{{kbd(p)}}} to view the previous image in the =dired-mode= buffer, and
- {{{kbd(q)}}} to quit the =image-mode= buffer and to go back to the =dired-mode= buffer.
5. After finding the specific image, use {{{kbd(C-c l)}}} in the =image-mode=
buffer or the =dired-mode= buffer to store the =org-link=.
6. Switch to the =org-mode= buffer and use {{{kbd(C-c C-l)}}} to insert the =org-link= into the buffer.
Listing [[lst:customize-dired]] makes the directory editor sort entries
alphabetically after grouping the directories before grouping the files by
extension.

The next block contains an userscript that sends a [[info:org#The store-link protocol][store-link org-protocol]]
message with the url and the title from [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] to =emacsclient=. The
function =urlencode= translates the url and the title for the message. The
[[info:python#Examples<22>][Python urllib examples]] show how to use =urlencode=. The final =execvp= call
deals with a [[https://qutebrowser.org][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 [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]].
On a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX][POSIX]] system, you can run the userscript from [[https://qutebrowser.org][qutebrowser]] or from a
terminal to see whether it works. In case you try to run it from Emacs, Emacs
may hang or die.

[[info:vertico#Top][Vertico (info)]] provides a performant and minimalistic vertical completion UI
based on the default completion system and behaves therefore correctly under all
circumstances. [[https://cestlaz.github.io/post/using-emacs-80-vertico/][Using Vertico, Marginalia, Consult, and Embark]] links to a video

1. [[info:embark#Top][Embark (info)]] for minibuffer actions with context menus,
2. [[info:marginalia#Top][Marginalia (info)]] for rich annotations in the minibuffer, and
3. [[info:consult#Top][Consult (info)]] for useful search and navigation commands,
where the order is that of [[https://github.com/bdarcus/citar#installation][enhancing citar's experience]] and the configuration
steps below.
Finally, [[https://company-mode.github.io/][company: a modular complete-anything framework for Emacs]] provides

This setup relies on [[info:emacs#Document View][Document View (info)]] to facilitate reading [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu][DjVu]] files.
Reading the code shown by src_emacs-lisp{(find-function

In order to use [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][pdf-tools]], you have to type {{{kbd(M-x pdf-tools-install)}}} after
installation of [[https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools][pdf-tools]] from [[https://melpa.org/][MELPA]] or after each update of [[https://github.com/freedesktop/poppler][poppler]] to build or

Loading =tex.el= immediately instead of lazily ensures proper initialization of
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][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 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][AUCTeX]]
configuration objectives:
1. Listing [[lst:require-tex]] initializes [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUCTeX][AUCTeX]] properly for =LuaTeX= or =LuaLaTeX=.
2. Listing [[lst:require-tex]] also enables [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/auctex.git/patch/?id=f464242eab092e610dda6b654e6fd197ef649d3eAA][indenting between square brackets]]
which is a recent feature.
3. Listing [[lst:update-lualatex-opentype-font-name-database]] defines a function to
update the =OpenType Font= name database for =LuaLaTeX= when the output of =LuaLaTeX= shows missing fonts.
4. Listing [[lst:configure-bibtex]] configures the Emacs =bibtex= library to use the
LaTeX =BiBTeX= dialect for backwards compatibility.
5. Listing [[lst:configure-font-latex]] disables font scaling of section titles.
6. Listing [[lst:configure-latex]] configures =latex= for a full featured =LaTeX-section-command=.

I have split the initial customization of [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] over several listings. Here,
follows a list detailing and motivating each listing:
1. Listing [[lst:customize-org]] handles basic customization of [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] variables
2. Listing [[lst:customize-org-babel]] handles basic customization of [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]]
variables specific to [[info:org#Working with Source Code][working with source code (info)]] and it selects the
Python interpreter by means of
src_emacs-lisp{(choose-common-python-interpreter)} defined in listing
[[lst:choose-common-python-interpreter]].
3. Listing [[lst:customize-org-link]] handle basic customization of [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]]
variables specific to [[info:org#Hyperlinks][hyperlinks (info)]].
4. Listing [[lst:configure-org-mode-map]] extends the =org-mode-map= with useful
key-bindings.
5. Listing [[lst:customize-org-src]] facilitates [[info:org#Editing Source Code][editing Python source code blocks]],
and it provides a function to remove the indentation of all =org-src-mode=
blocks without =-i= switch.
6. Listing [[lst:customize-ob-python]] allows to pretty-print Python session source
block values with [[https://github.com/psf/black#readme][black]] instead of [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/pprint.html][pprint]].
7. Listing [[lst:customize-org-export-ui]] selects the =non-intrusive= expert user
interface for export dispatching.
8. Listing [[lst:customize-org-for-lualatex-export]] and
[[lst:customize-ox-latex-for-lualatex-export]] configure [[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] to generate
output for the LuaLaTeX compiler.
9. Listing [[lst:customize-org-latex-classes]] defines [[info:org#LaTeXspecificexportsettings][org-latex-classes (info)]] for
backward compatibility. See table [[tab:org-latex-class-tag-placeholder]] and
type {{{kbd(C-hv org-latex-classes)}}} for an explanation of the code in
listing [[lst:customize-org-latex-classes]].

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:engrave-faces
:END:
This package aims to produce a versatile generic core which can process a
fontified buffer and pass the data to any number of backends to deal with
specific output formats and Org offers it as an alternative to =minted=. *The
listings below make* [[https://github.com/tecosaur/engrave-faces#readme][Engrave Faces]] and [[info:org#Source blocks in LaTeX export][Org source block export to LaTeX (info)]]
*capable of handling this [[file:README.org]] file to my satisfaction:*
1. The default Org export configuration for engraving listings produces =pdf=
output with a non-equidistant interline spacing in floating listings and
equidistant interline spaces non-floating =tcolorbox= environments. I have
traced non-equidistance interline spacing back to the =breakable= option in =Code= environments inside =listing= environments. However, =tcolorbox=
requires =breakable= for listings that do not fit on a page. As a
work-around, the filter =org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter= in listing
[[lst:org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter]] and the =org-latex-engraved-preamble= customization in listing
[[lst:smart-latex-engrave-org-source-blocks]] allow to engrave =org-mode= source
blocks to "floating unbreakable with a caption" or "non-floating breakable
without a caption" LaTeX environments.
2. Listing [[lst:ensure-engrave-faces-with-latex-face-apply-fix]] makes =engrave-faces-latex-face-apply= handle symbolic color name strings (in
addition to the hexadecimal strings). Since faces in for instance
src_emacs-lisp{(find-library "org-faces")} and src_emacs-lisp{(find-library
"faces")} have symbolic color names (beware: Emacs themes may replace the
symbolic color names with hexadecimal strings), this fix allows to engrave
org-mode source blocks during LaTeX export without any further tweaking.
3. Listing [[lst:ensure-engrave-faces-with-latex-face-mapper-fix]] makes =engrave-faces-latex-face-mapper= handle horizontal and vertical spacing
in multiple line documentation strings correctly. For instance, *without this
fix* the mishandling of vertical and horizontal spacing destroys the
indentation in Python documentation strings. An Emacs lisp example of the
bug is the disappearance of the empty line in the documentation string of =org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter= of listing
[[lst:org-latex-engraved-source-block-filter]] in exported =pdf= files. The idea
of the fix is to let the LaTeX face mapper wrap only groups of "words joined
by blank characters" in LaTeX commands and pass "newlines and other
whitespace between those groups" on without wrapping.
4. Listing [[lst:ox-engraved-emacs-lisp-setup]] shows how to use this configuration.

There are at least two ways (new and old) to edit the LateX preamble
=latex_header= and =latex-extra_header= export options easily in LaTeX source or
export blocks. This [[info:org#Top][Org (info)]] file uses the new way, but keeps the old way for
backwards compatibility.
The new way -- exploiting an idea of [[https://www.matem.unam.mx/~omar/][Omar Antolin Camarena]] -- is to code new
[[info:org#Editing Source Code][<LANGUAGE>-modes]] allowing to edit in LaTeX mode and to export to LaTeX code with
[[info:org#LaTeX specific export settings][correct LaTeX preamble export setting prefixes]]. Here, are links to three posts
exposing his idea:
1. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/7u2n0h/tip_for_defining_latex_macros_for_use_in_both/][Export LaTeX macros to LaTeX and HTML/MathJax preambles (reddit)]],
2. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/5bi6ku/tip_for_exporting_javascript_source_block_to/][Export JavaScript source blocks to script tags in HTML (reddit)]],
3. [[https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/28301/export-javascript-source-block-to-script-tag-in-html-when-exporting-org-file-to][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 [[info:org#Editing Source Code][<LANGUAGE>-modes]]: =latex-header= and =latex-extra-header=.

The old way is to use a special export attribute as in the function
=org-latex-header-blocks-filter= in [[https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib/tree/master/item/lisp/ox-extra.el][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 file uses the new way, while keeping the old way for backwards
compatibility, because the new way feels less hackish than the old way. A
practical difference is that new way source blocks (contrary to old way export
blocks) do not work in [[info:org#Export Settings][#+SETUPFILE: <FILE>]], but only in [[info:org#Export Settings][#+INCLUDE: <FILE>]] files.

1. The function [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html#global][~org-element-parse-buffer~]] implements a fully recursive buffer
parser that returns an abstract syntax tree.
2. The functions [[https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-element-api.html#local][~org-element-at-point~ and ~org-element-context~]] return
information on the document structure around point either at the element

The [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs][Python Programming in Emacs]] wiki page lists options to enhance Emacs's
built-in ~python-mode~. Here, the focus is on three packages:
1. [[https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot][Eglot - Emacs polyGLOT: an Emacs LSP client that stays out of your way]]. The
maintainer also contributes to Emacs itself and has a deep understanding of
[[https://sheer.tj/the_way_of_emacs.html][the Way of Emacs]]. He refuses to add new features without seeing how they fit
into [[https://sheer.tj/the_way_of_emacs.html][the Way of Emacs]] as this discussion on [[https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/523][org-mode source code blocks]]
shows.
2. [[https://jedi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/][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.
3. [[https://github.com/astoff/code-cells.el#readme][Code-cells]] allows to edit [[https://ipython.org/notebook.html][IPython or Jupyter notebooks]] in Emacs with help
from either [[https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext][Jupytext]] or [[https://pandoc.org/][Pandoc]].
Here are links covering how to integrate Emacs, Python and a Python LSP
server, before plunging into the configuration steps:

Listing [[lst:configure-python]] configures [[https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/progmodes/python.el][python-mode]] to use [[https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/][flake8]] as style
checker and [[https://ipython.org/][IPython]] as shell interpreter and selects the Python interpreter by
means of src_emacs-lisp{(choose-common-python-interpreter)} defined in listing
[[lst:choose-common-python-interpreter]]. The [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#readme][pythonic]] and [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]] packages provide support
to handle Python virtual environments within Emacs. The [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv][pyenv]] package provides
support to work with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] (eventually with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv#readme][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
[[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] and [[https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#readme][pythonic]]) and tweak the environment variables and restart the relevant
Python child processes (in case of [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv#readme][pyvenv]]). Therefore, this setup replaces
those packages with listing [[lst:manage-pyenv]] to manage [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#readme][pyenv]] from within Emacs
and listing [[lst:setting-python-shell-virtualenv-root]] to set
=python-shell-virtualenv-root=.

:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:structural-editing
:END:
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 [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][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 [[https://smartparens.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html][smartparens documentation]] targets experienced Emacs users. The
following links show how to put the documentation to practical use:
1. [[https://gist.github.com/oantolin][Omar Antolin's gist "my-smartparens-config.el"]] is the first place to look for
how to tweak [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]]. However, the gist may be partially obsolete, since
it is not part of his current [[https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config][Emacs configuration]].
2. [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2014-07/msg00135.html][How to enable smartparens in the minibuffer after eval-expression]] explains
how the machinery after the first and after later usages of =eval-expression=
differ and discusses options how to handle those differences.
Listing [[lst:configure-smartparens]] aims to configure [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] for Elisp,
LaTeX, Org, and Python.
Despite the provocative post [[https://andreyorst.gitlab.io/posts/2022-02-20-what-if-structural-editing-was-a-mistake/]["What if structural editing was a mistake?"]],
[[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] is one of my favorite packages. In particular, [[https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens][smartparens]] handles
matching pairs in Org-mode files with export and source blocks for multiple
formats and languages correctly. Therefore, [[https://smartparens.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html?highlight=show-smartparens-mode#getting-started][show-smartparens-mode]] highlights
matching pairs immediately in front or after point in such files correctly,
contrary to for instance [[https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-delimiters#readme][rainbow-delimiters]].

*** Hiding spurious buffers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: sec:hiding-spurious-buffers
:END:
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:
