Guix SD and Emacs

Hi Guixers,

---------------------------------------------------
I have got 4 questions:
---------------------------------------------------
1.question

I created a "init.el" file for Emacs.

Where should it go in Guix SD?

I have got a hidden directory (or should I say "folder"?) in my user 
directory: .emacs.d
and a hidden file: .emacs

David Wilson proposed:
~/.config/emacs/init.el - Follows Linux desktop environment guidelines 
(recommended on Linux!)
This means to create a directory "emacs" in /.config directory
--------------------------------------------------

2.question

If I have questions about emacs where can I ask?
Guix help is for Guix, but where can I ask for emacs questions?

There won't be probably not many, but when I have time, I am working on 
setting up my emacs and am starting to use it more often.
--------------------------------------------------

3. question

in my created init.el file which I put into the directory /.emacs.de

for learning I added:

;; Display line numbers in every buffer
(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)

When I press C+M x with the cursor between these lines there appear the 
line numbers immediately.

When I close emacs and open it again the lines don't appear.
This means that my init.el file is not read.
How can I configure this, so that everything I put into my init.el file 
will be recognised, when starting emacs?

----------------------------------------------------

4.question

To start with the right order structure,
( I like order without disorder)
I would like to put everything in my "init.el" file.

I choose the "misteriose-theme.el (on the startup screen: "customize 
startup")
it created a "misterios-theme.el" file in my /.emacs.d directory.
I thought it should go to the init.el file, which I have created later.
Can I copy the content of this file into the init.el file?

in my /.emacs file there is this content:

Probably it was created, when I choose the new theme.

~/.config/emacs/init.el is best, but *if you have a .emacs.d or a .emacs,
it will not be read*, so you need to do this:

  mv .emacs ~/.config/emacs/init.el
  mv .emacs.d/* ~/.config/emacs

(careful your .emacs isn't overwritten with .emacs.d/init.el when using
these commands)

Probably because you already have a .emacs. Emacs prioritises reading the
.emacs file over .emacs.d/init.el, and .emacs.d/init.el over
.config/emacs/init.el. If you want to use .emacs.d/init.el, you need to
make sure there's no .emacs.

You don't want to do that. It's an autogenerated file, and you should
keep those in separate files, in my opinion, so that you don't
accidentally modify things that should not be modified :)

That's why I use this code to redirect all custom customisations into
~/.config/emacs/custom.el:

  (setq custom-file
        (concat (or (getenv "XDG_CONFIG_HOME")
                    (concat (getenv "HOME") "/.config"))
                "/emacs/custom.el"))
  (load custom-file)

Yes, it was. If you decide to do the custom-file redirection above,
you should move this code into ~/.config/emacs/custom.el.

I'm totally new to emacs, so this might be very stupid question, but
based on the internets I've put the following into the init.el:

  (setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
  (load-file custom-file)

Is there any practical difference or reason to prefer your version?

My init file also looks like that.

~/.emacs.d/init.el:             Works.
~/.emacs:                       Works.
~/.config/emacs/init.el:        Works, and I'm using it.

Where did you put your init.el?  How are you invoking the Emacs command?

You can indeed put the theme in your init.el.

But I would recommend against it, because as a Emacs newcomer, your
config might grow too big for you to manage.  From my experience, too
big init.el is one of the main reasons behind declaring Emacs bankruptcy
(throwing your current init.el and starting a new one).  So I recommend
to keep theme independent of your init.el, so that if you ever declare
Emacs bankruptcy, that file will be reusable.

No, I think yours one is better, because it's OS independent.  I can
suggest the following, which basically the same but will save you a few
byte on your HDD/SSD:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq custom-file (locate-user-emacs-file "custom.el"))
(load-file custom-file)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks for your answers.

I created a "init.el" file in ~/.config/emacs

and a "custom.el" file in the same directory.

I moved my .emacs.d to ~/.config/emacs and deleted later the empty 
~/.emacs.d directory and the ~/.emacs file.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So, I have now everything in the ~/.config/emacs directory

directories:

auto-save-list
eln-cache
elpa
tutorial
url

and the files:

custom.el
init.el
misterioso-theme.el
-------------------------------------------------------------
custom.el:
(setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
   (load-file custom-file)

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.

1. question

So, as far as I understood you, I should do all my customisation in my 
custom.el file and not in the init.el file.
What goes than in my init.el file?

2. question

I have got a "misterioso-theme.el" file in my ~/.config/emacs directory
but it doesn't work now.

Should I simply delete this file, and create this theme new?
If so, what is the best way to create this theme or an other?


Kind regards

Gottfried

Any elisp code you write *manually*. custom.el contains all the code automatically
generated by the Emacs "custom" tool.

Probably, yeah.

I think help-gnu-emacs should be a better place for discussion.

No, custom.el should be auto-generated by Custom, the customization UI.
If you want keep everything in one file, don't set custom-file variable.

All your hand-written configuration.

Why doesn't it work?  Are you loading the theme correctly?

Hi Akib,

> I have got a "misterioso-theme.el" file in my ~/.config/emacs directory
>>> but it doesn't work now.

I tried several things,learning to use emacs and now my theme is working.

I have got now 2 themes in my ~/.config/emacs directory

leuven-theme.el
misterioso-theme.el

but misterioso-theme is now working.
-------------------------------------------------------
How can I check in emacs which theme I have got at the moment?
Which keybindings?
-------------------------------------------------------
If I want an other theme, how to do that?
(Should I better ask in the emacs mailing list?)

Kind regards

Gottfried

yes, i think this question does not relate much to guix and should
rather be discussed somewhere else. you might either consult an emacs
mailing-list, read the emacs documentation, or just search the web with
some search-engine.
