A minimal and functional configuration of GNU Emacs aimed at academic use, mainly for the creation of technical articles, presentations, literary programming and reproducibility.

For full-featured Emacs distributions, it is highly recommended to check:

• Doom Emacs
• Centaur Emacs
• Spacemacs

Many ideas have been taken from System Crafters' EFS:

• Emacs From Scratch

Some features

• AUCTeX
• Org Mode / Org-roam / org-tree-slide
• Markdown Mode
• Citar
• arXiv-mode
• Elfeed
• Ebib / biblio.el
• PDF Tools
• Writeroom-mode
• Magit
• YASnippet
• Wilmersdorf Theme
• Vertico / Marginalia / Orderless / Embark

Requirements

• Git
• GNU Emacs (27.1+)
• JetBrains Mono (or any other font and replace it in init.el)
• PDF Tools (at the moment it is installed manually due to conflicts with use-package.)

On Debian GNU/Linux:

# apt install git emacs fonts-jetbrains-mono

With GNU Guix:

$ guix install git emacs font-jetbrains-mono

Optional

The following tools are optional and allow you to open files from dired. They can be replaced by any other package of choice in the corresponding section of init.el.

• nsxiv (image viewer)
• mpv (media player)

On Debian GNU/Linux:

# apt install nsxiv mpv

With GNU Guix:

$ guix install nsxiv mpv

Installation

If any previous configuration exists, move it (or delete it):

$ mv .emacs.d/ old-emacs-d

Clone and rename the repository in ~/:

$ git clone https://notabug.org/dlmayhem/terror-emacs.git .emacs.d

Start Emacs et voilà !

Once all the packages are installed, all that remains is to run the following command inside Emacs:

M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts

To do

• [X] Org Roam
• [X] Citar
• [X] YASnippet
• [ ] Screenshots

Happy hacking!
