Projects

• minimal-emacs.d: A customizable Emacs base that provides better Emacs defaults and optimized startup, intended to serve as a solid foundation for your vanilla Emacs configuration.

• easysession.el: EasySession is an Emacs session manager that can persist and restore file editing buffers, indirect buffers/clones, Dired buffers, the tab-bar, and the Emacs frames (with or without the Emacs frames size, width, and height).

• outline-indent.el: An origami.el alternative that provides a minor mode that enables code folding based on indentation levels. (It works for any indentation-based text files, such as YAML, Python, and other indented text files.)

• compile-angel.el: Speed up Emacs! This package guarantees that all .el files are both byte-compiled and native-compiled, which significantly speeds up Emacs.

• kirigami.el: The kirigami Emacs package offers a unified interface for opening and closing folds across a diverse set of major and minor modes in Emacs, including outline-mode, outline-minor-mode, outline-indent-mode, org-mode, markdown-mode, vdiff-mode, vdiff-3way-mode, hs-minor-mode, hide-ifdef-mode, origami-mode, yafolding-mode, folding-mode, and treesit-fold-mode. With Kirigami, folding key bindings only need to be configured once. After that, the same keys work consistently across all supported major and minor modes, providing a unified and predictable folding experience.

• buffer-terminator.el: A package that automatically kills buffers to help maintain a clean and efficient workspace, while also improving Emacs' performance by reducing the number of open buffers, thereby decreasing the number of active modes, timers, and other processes associated with those buffers.

• vim-tab-bar.el: An Emacs package that enhances the built-in tab-bar with a minimalist, Vim-inspired design that automatically adapts to the current Emacs theme as well as any themes loaded subsequently. This ensures the tab-bar integrates with the rest of the Emacs interface, eliminating visual conflicts and making it feel like a natural extension of your Emacs environment.

• enhanced-evil-paredit.el: An Emacs package that prevents parenthesis imbalance when using evil-mode with paredit. It intercepts evil-mode commands such as delete, change, and paste, blocking their execution if they would break the parenthetical structure.

• tomorrow-night-deepblue-theme.el: The Tomorrow Night Deepblue Emacs theme is a beautiful deep blue variant of the Tomorrow Night theme, which is renowned for its elegant color palette that is pleasing to the eyes. It features a deep blue background color that creates a calming atmosphere. The theme is also a great choice for those who miss the blue themes that were trendy a few years ago.

• dir-config.el: Automatically find and evaluate .dir-config.el Elisp files to configure directory-specific settings.

• inhibit-mouse.el: A package that disables mouse input in Emacs, offering a simpler and faster alternative to the disable-mouse package.

• bufferfile.el: An Emacs package that offers a suite of helper functions for deleting and renaming files. It also ensures that all associated buffers, including indirect buffers, are properly handled during these operations.

• stripspace.el: Ensure Emacs Automatically removes trailing whitespace before saving a buffer, with an option to preserve the cursor column.

• elispcomp: A command line tool that allows compiling Elisp code directly from the terminal or from a shell script. It facilitates the generation of optimized .elc (byte-compiled) and .eln (native-compiled) files.

• watch-xfce-xfconf: Configure XFCE 4 programmatically using the xfconf-query commands displayed by watch-xfce-xfconf when XFCE 4 settings are modified.

• quick-sdcv.el: This package enables Emacs to function as an offline dictionary by using the sdcv command-line tool directly within Emacs.

• persist-text-scale.el: An Emacs package ensures that the built-in text-scale-mode text scale is persisted and restored.

• pre-commit-elisp: This repository offers a collection of pre-commit hooks specifically for Emacs Lisp (Elisp) projects. These hooks enforce code quality and consistency by performing automated checks on .el files prior to committing changes.

• bash-stdops: A collection of helpful Bash scripts that simplify various operations, including file searching, text replacement, and content modification.

• flymake-ansible-lint.el: The flymake-ansible-lint Emacs package provides a Flymake backend for ansible-lint.
