About

This todo list is mostly for me to keep track of the things I want to do. It contains ideas I have for packages and tweaks as well as other people's packages and configs that I should look into.

Notable configs to look into

• angrybacon/dotemacs

  • literate
  • lots of images
  • package explanations
  • exwm
• abo-abo/oremacs

• wasamasa/dotemacs

  • literate
  • evil
  • very well documented

• IvanMalison/dotfiles

  • literate
  • term-mode
  • org export

• joedicastro/dotfiles

  • literate
  • images for explanation
  • hydras
  • mu4e

Things to look into

TODO Read about emacs follow-mode

Follow mode allows you to extend your scrolling of a buffer across multiple splits.

TODO Find a suitable shell setup inside emacs

Currently I use urxvt as an external terminal. Ideally I would like to run my shell from within emacs but as of present I haven't found an experience smooth enough to use full time. One possibility is using eshell and doing all of the configuration in elisp. The other (and more likely option) is using shell, term or ansi-term with packages like better-shell">better-shell.

TODO Find additional performance tweaks on windows

Currently I use windows at work and have found that some things don't perform as quickly as they do on linux. A few things that require more investigation are:

• UTF-8 font display drastically slows down emacs
• Magit is quite slow though this is probably caused by git slowness

UNDERWAY Write a package that integrates org-mode into projects

I'm working on this project at org-project">org-project on my github if you're interested in contributing.

The general idea of this package would be to have a org file that integrates with either projectile or git projects that can link directly to TODO:'s in code. In addition it should be able remove the TODO from the code once the org item has been completed.
