My emacs enviroment

My emacs enviroment. Feel free to copy/clone/fork.

What is in it?

• uniquify, for better buffer naming.
• web-mode, great for editing django templates (HTML, javascript and django tags).
• yasnippet, best snippet extension ever!
• expand-region, selects region by semantic units.
• no-easy-keys, the best if you are new to Emacs (trains you to use the proper keys).
• Auto-saves and backups in the tmp directory.
• Highlight matching brackets.
• Spaces instead of tabs.
• C and C++ with 4 spaces indentation (linux style).
• Javascript with 2 spaces indentation.
• Fixed window width: 80
• Key binding C-! for expand-region.
• Key binding C-} to double the frame width and split window horizontally.
• Key binding C-{ to keep current window (closes the rest) and returns to normal frame width.
• Key binding C-$ to open the shell.
• Key binding C-% to open the python shell (python-mode only).
• Use local file pyflakespep8.py (pyflakes + PEP8) instead of default pychecker for a source code warning and error report (C-c C-w).
• flymake: python checker on the fly using local file pyflakespep8.py (pyflakes + PEP8) for better source code warning and error reports.
• Define the modes where you want flymake to be enabled, in my case I just want flymake on python files.
• Lots of useful snippets for python, django, html, jquery (and more) on yasnippet/snippets.

What is the best way to avoid getting Emacs Pinky?

Configure so that the space bar works both as space and control: when the space is pressed alone, as a space, and pressed with others, as control. So SPC-x is treated as C-x.

You can do it with:

• AutoHotKey (Windows).
• at-home-modifier (Linux).
• Keyremap4macbook (OS X).
