My personal configuration for Doom Emacs

Hi there 👋

.doom.d's Issues

Support for locally overriding appearance settings

While I want to keep my Doom config consistent across all the computers I use, I'd like to have way of keeping machine-local settings that don't interfere with the files under version control.

The main reason is that due to the different screen sizes and platforms, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to font size settings. A size of 18 might look fine on one particular device, but another higher res device needs size 32 to be legible.

A decent way to do this would probably be to check for a gitignored file with a particular name for font settings to override those of appearance.el.

Add LaTeX settings

LaTeX settings is sitting as a TODO in settings/writing.el currently.

This is something I have previously had a bunch of customisations for in .emacs.d, so a starting point might be to copy those.
It's likely, however, that a lot of settings are redundant due to the Doom module defaults.

Add basic C settings

Since I've been editing C files for my QMK keymaps recently, I've noticed that I really don't like the default gnu indentation style.
Additionally, the default indent is 5 spaces.

This can be controlled with the variables c-default-style and c-basic-offset.

Furthermore, while adjusting settings for C-like languages, change the name of ide.el, it doesn't make sense for it to be called that.

Clean up in settings

The config includes settings for various things I don't really use, or for which the circumstances have changed in newer versions of Emacs.

Especially take a critical look at init.el and packages.el.

cycle-theme doesn't work on newer versions of Doom Emacs

Running jsvm/cycle-theme (SPC t t) does not work consistently across versions;

• Doom v3.0.0-alpha on Emacs 27.1 (WSL): works ✔️
• Doom v21.12.0-alpha on Emacs 28.0.50 (WSL): doesn't work ❌
• Doom v21.12.0-alpha on Emacs 29.0.50 (native Linux): doesn't work ❌

On the latter version, I also get an error when trying to run describe-variable (SPC h v) on doom-theme after running jsvm/cycle-theme:

elisp-refs--read-all-buffer-forms: Unexpected error whilst reading ~/.emacs.d/core/core-ui.el position 229: (void-variable read-symbol-positions-list)

It's likely that the implementation of jsvm/cycle-theme messes up the doom-theme variable, as right now it works by hard setting the variable and calling doom/reload-theme. A better implementation would probably be to simply use load-theme directly.
