Although I love spacemacs I am eager to build a full Emacs config from scratch and this config is my attempt. I haven't decided if I want to fully invest in a literate config file so this is a nice way to experiment. I use tangle/detangle to produce emacs lisp files from the org file. This is the same configuration but written in an Org file with lots of documentation.This is the same config file but running on spacemacs master instead of the develop branch.I want to understand all of the packages I am using and install only the ones I need, thus avoiding a lot of bloat. This is a new config that I am setting up using just spacemacs-base instead of full spacemacs.I am currently running six Emacs configurations, (setq-default pdf-view-display-size 'fit-page)Ĭhemacs is an Emacs profile switcher that makes it easy to run multiple Emacs configs side by side. I also like PDFView to open with the pdf fit to the screen (show 1 page) so I also added the following, default page width behavior Now that we are using The Emacs Mac Port we need to add the following to our config file (user-config in spacemacs) if we want to enjoy the fruits of our labour, combined with emacs-mac this gives good pdf quality for retina display I think I read somewhere that it might interfere with tiling window managers as well and we can't be having that, so let's install it without, brew install emacs-mac -with-no-title-barsĪnd to make sure that we are using the right install be sure to link emacs-mac with, brew link emacs-mac I personally don't like having a title bar on my beautiful editor so I choose not to install it. In particular, it provides a lot of native GUI support. This is an excellent blog post detailing how The Emacs Mac Port (which I installed using Homebrew from this repo) greatly improves Emacs’ functionality with MacOS. Many GitHub issues later and The Emacs Mac Port came to the rescue. So I set out on a second mission to get my myself a high res pdf viewing experience within Emacs. Unfortunately, both of these installs don't support retina pdf quality in PDFView (pdf-tools). I use the pdf-tools package through the pdf-tools spacemacs layer for viewing all my pdfs writing LaTeX docs (using org-mode and/or auctex), reading books, reading papers (using org-ref) etc. I stumbled across Emacs-plus which solved the issue but left me with another… This really started to bug me so I invested a hefty chunk of time (in classic Emacs style) to find a solution. emacs from homebrew) are not recognised by the yabai tiling window manager and don't tile properly. I wanted to write the post because I have been on a roller coaster getting an Emacs install that provides all of the functionality that I want (maybe even need!). This is a short post detailing how I installed Emacs and configured an environment for maintaining multiple configurations (on my MacBook Pro).
