IMPORTANT PROGRAMS TO LOAD FIRST

Evil Mode

(use-package evil
    :ensure t
    :init      ;; tweak evil's configuration before loading it
    (setq evil-want-integration t) ;; This is optional since it's already set to t by default.
    (setq evil-want-keybinding nil)
    (setq evil-vsplit-window-right t)
    (setq evil-split-window-below t)
    (evil-mode))
  (use-package evil-collection
    :ensure t
    :after evil
    :config
    (setq evil-collection-mode-list '(dashboard dired ibuffer))
    (evil-collection-init))
  (use-package evil-tutor
  :ensure t)

General Keybindings

  (use-package general
    :ensure t
    :config
    (general-evil-setup)
    ;; set up 'SPC' as the global leader key
    (general-create-definer leader-keys
      :states '(normal insert visual emacs)
      :keymaps 'override
      :prefix "SPC" ;; set leader
      :global-prefix "M-SPC") ;; access leader in insert mode
    (leader-keys
    "." '(find-file :wk "Find file")
    "TAB TAB" '(comment-line :wk "Comment lines"))
  )

Fonts

Defining the various fonts that Emacs will use.

(set-face-attribute 'default nil
  :font "JetBrains Mono"
  :height 110
  :weight 'medium)
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil
  :font "Ubuntu"
  :height 120
  :weight 'medium)
(set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil
  :font "JetBrains Mono"
  :height 110
  :weight 'medium)
;; Makes commented text and keywords italics.
;; This is working in emacsclient but not emacs.
;; Your font must have an italic face available.
(set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-face nil
  :slant 'italic)
(set-face-attribute 'font-lock-keyword-face nil
  :slant 'italic)

;; This sets the default font on all graphical frames created after restarting Emacs.
;; Does the same thing as 'set-face-attribute default' above, but emacsclient fonts
;; are not right unless I also add this method of setting the default font.
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "JetBrains Mono-11"))

;; Uncomment the following line if line spacing needs adjusting.
(setq-default line-spacing 0.12)

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE TWEAKS

Let's make GNU Emacs look a little better.

Disable Menubar, Toolbars and Scrollbars

(menu-bar-mode -1)
(tool-bar-mode -1)
(scroll-bar-mode -1)

Display Line Numbers and Truncated Lines

(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)
(global-visual-line-mode t)

ORG MODE

Enabling Table of Contents

  (use-package toc-org
    :ensure t
      :commands toc-org-enable
      :init (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'toc-org-enable))

Enabling Org Bullets

Org-bullets gives us attractive bullets rather than asterisks.

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-indent-mode)
  (use-package org-bullets :ensure t)
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-bullets-mode 1)))

WHICH-KEY

  (use-package which-key
    :ensure t
    :init
      (which-key-mode 1)
    :config
    (setq which-key-side-window-location 'bottom
  	  which-key-sort-order #'which-key-key-order-alpha
  	  which-key-sort-uppercase-first nil
  	  which-key-add-column-padding 1
  	  which-key-max-display-columns nil
  	  which-key-min-display-lines 6
  	  which-key-side-window-slot -10
  	  which-key-side-window-max-height 0.25
  	  which-key-idle-delay 0.8
  	  which-key-max-description-length 25
  	  which-key-allow-imprecise-window-fit t
  	  which-key-separator " → " ))
