If you are using Linux, you may prefer an XDG-compatible location, please use ```shell # Please make sure ~/.emacs.d, ~/.emacs and ~/.emacs.el don't exist git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d.git $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs ``` or extract the zip package to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs` directory. Then start Emacs. Wait for a while to install packages at the first startup. Enjoy! :smile: **Attention**: It may take long time to download packages at the first startup. It's up to your network speed. If it takes too long time and no response, check the connection or use proxy. **Note**: Start Emacs with the minimal configuration for fast startup and troubleshooting. ```shell emacs -Q -l ~/.emacs.d/init-mini.el ``` ### Update ```emacs-lisp # Update Centaur Emacs, including configurations and packages M-x centaur-update # Update Emacs configurations only M-x centaur-update-config # Update ~/.dotfiles if it exists M-x centaur-update-dotfiles # Update packages only M-x centaur-update-packages # Update all including configurations, packages and dotfiles M-x centaur-update-all ``` ### Docker ```shell cd ~/.emacs.d/Dockerfile docker build -t centaur/emacs . docker run -it centaur/emacs bash ``` ## Customization ### Customize Group `M-x customize-group` and select `centaur`. Set and save the configurations, then restart Emacs. ### Manual Add or change the configurations in `custom.el`, then restart Emacs. For Example: ```emacs-lisp (setq centaur-logo nil) ; Logo file or nil (official logo) (setq centaur-full-name "user name") ; User full name (setq centaur-mail-address "user@email.com") ; Email address (setq centaur-proxy "127.0.0.1:1087") ; HTTP/HTTPS proxy (setq centaur-socks-proxy "127.0.0.1:1086") ; SOCKS proxy (setq centaur-server t) ; Enable `server-mode' or not: t or nil (setq centaur-icon t) ; Display icons or not: t or nil (setq centaur-package-archives 'melpa) ; Package repo: melpa, bfsu, iscas, netease, sjtu, tencent, tuna or ustc (setq centaur-theme 'auto) ; Color theme: auto, random, system, default, pro, dark, light, warm, cold, day or night (setq centaur-completion-style 'minibuffer) ; Completion display style: minibuffer or childframe (setq centaur-dashboard nil) ; Display dashboard at startup or not: t or nil (setq centaur-lsp 'lsp-mode) ; Set LSP client: lsp-mode, eglot or nil (setq centaur-lsp-format-on-save t) ; Auto format buffers on save: t or nil (setq centaur-lsp-format-on-save-ignore-modes '(c-mode c++-mode python-mode markdown-mode)) ; Ignore format on save for some languages (setq centaur-tree-sitter nil) ; Enable tree-sitter or not: t or nil.

Nil to use font supports ligatures. (setq centaur-prettify-org-symbols-alist nil) ; Alist of symbol prettifications for `org-mode' ``` The default package archives is `melpa`. You can change it in `custom.el`, or set manually via `M-x set-package-archives` anytime. For the personal configurations, you could put to `~/.emacs.d/custom-post.org` or`~/.emacs.d/custom-post.el`. ## Hydra | Name | Scope | Keybinding | Description | |--------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------| | `toggles-hydra` | global | `` | Global option toggles | | `window-hydra` | global | `C-c w`/`C-x o w` | Window management | | `doom-modeline-hydra` | doom-modeline-mode | `C-` | Mode-line options and actions | | `hydra-dired-qick-sort` | dired-mode | `S` | Options for `dired-quick-sort` | | `org-hydra` | org-mode | `<` | Org template | | `dashboard-hydra` | dashboard-mode | `h`/`?` | Actions for the dashboard | | `dumb-jump-hydra` | global | `C-M-j` | Jump to definition | | `youdao-dictionay-hydra` | youdao-dictionay-mode | `h`/`?` | Actions for `youdao-dictionary` | | `ztreediff-hydra` | zreediff-mode | `C-` | Actions for text mode directory tree | | `git-messenger-hydra` | global | `C-x v p` | Actions for `git-messenger` | | `smerge-mode-hydra` | smerge-mode | `C-c m` | Actions for `smerge-mode` | | `rect-hydra` | text-mode, prog-mode | `C-` | Actions for Rectangle | | `rect-hydra` | org-mode | `S-` | Actions for Rectangle | | `hideshow-hydra` | prog-mode | `C-~` | Actions for `hideshow` | | `lsp-ui-hydra` | lsp-ui-mode | `M-` | Actions for `lsp-ui` | | `dap-hydra` | dap-mode | `M-` | Actions for `dap-debug` | | `elfeed-hydra` | elfeed-search-mode | `?` | Actions for RSS reader `elfeed` | | `xwidget-hydra` | xwidget-webkit-mode | `?` | Actions for embedded webkit browser | ## Screenshots ![Dashboard](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140797/97093362-c793b000-167d-11eb-924a-1892c6e95b8a.png "Dashboard (default theme)") ![color_icons](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140797/97093358-b9de2a80-167d-11eb-9e5a-8591b1248c37.png "Main (color icons)") ![markdown_magit](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140797/56489193-7f894f80-6513-11e9-9c95-ea1ef41efb1f.png "Markdown and Magit") ![org_classic](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140797/56489410-2837af00-6514-11e9-9e04-a1663ac479e8.png "Org (classic theme)") ![main_light](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/140797/56489516-85cbfb80-6514-11e9-9dd4-8602bf8a4ec7.png "Main (light theme)") ## FAQ 1. How to display icons correctly in Centaur Emacs? Generally you just use `M-x centaur-install-fonts` to install all necessary fonts. The manual steps are below. [nerd-icons](https://github.com/rainstormstudio/nerd-icons.el) are necessary. Run `M-x nerd-icons-install-fonts` to install the resource fonts. On Windows, the fonts should be installed manually. `nerd-icons` supports bot GUI and TUI. If you don't like color icons, `(setq nerd-icons-color-icons nil)` to disable it. Please refer to [nerd-icons.el](https://github.com/rainstormstudio/nerd-icons.el) for details. 1. The packages cannot be installed, what should I do? Generally it's due to connection issue. Please refer to [#98](https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d/issues/98). - `M-x package-refresh-contents` and try again. - `(setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3")`. - Use other mirror of ELPA. - Change another network to retry. 1. How to search Chinese via pinyin? In Emacs, `C-s !`. If you just want to search `!`, use `C-s \!`. 1. How to use the Centaur Dashboard? If `centaur-dashboard` is non-nil the Centaur Dashboard will be opened at startup automatically. After startup, you could use `F2` to reopen it anytime. In the dashboard, please press `?` or `h` to get the help. You can easily jump to the sections or buttons with keybindings, e.g. Homepage(`H`), Session(`R`, `L`), Settings(`S`), Update(`U`), Recent Files (`r`), Bookmarks(`m`) and Projects(`p`). 1. Does Centaur Emacs support Language Server Protocol (LSP)? The LSP feature is supported and enabled by default in Centaur Emacs. `lsp-mode` is the default client, and `eglot` is another choice. Use `(setq centaur-lsp nil)` to disable LSP if you don't like it. To use LSP you should install the language servers. Refer to [lsp-mode: supported-languages](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode#supported-languages) or [eglot: Connecting to a server](https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot#connecting-to-a-server) for the details. 1. How to enable `plantuml` in `org-mode`? Put `(setq org-plantuml-jar-path "")` in `custom.el`. 1. Why the Emacs environment variables and `exec-path` are different between GUI and terminal? Please refer to #33. You should instead set environment variables in startup files like `.profile`, `.bash_profile` or `.zshenv`, then `Centaur Emacs` is able to recognize and import the environment variables. 1. How to use [zoom-window](https://github.com/syohex/emacs-zoom-window) in Centaur Emacs? See [#169](https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d/issues/169#issuecomment-590035527). ## Donate If you think the it's helpful for you, please consider paying a cup of coffee for me.
