    My personal emacs settings, and the ones used in @emacsrocks (by magnars)

  • I picked it up from this emacs config. His is a trove of great interactive functions.

  • emacs4cl

    A tiny DIY kit to set up vanilla Emacs for Common Lisp programming

  • By the way, I have shared a subset of this initialization code that pertains to Common Lisp as an independent initialize file here: Emacs4CL.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • consult

    :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read

  • Sounds like you'd like consult-goto-line from consult.

  • use-package

    A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs

  • Package installation can be coded with https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package

  • crux

    A Collection of Ridiculously Useful eXtensions for Emacs (by bbatsov)

  • Bozhidar Batsov's crux package has a few more of useful functions like these.

  • configuration

    Discontinued My configs: OS setups, dotfiles, scripts and more. (by cadadr)

  • I have a little project system that I use a lot and is a life saver: https://github.com/cadadr/configuration/tree/3e11ef25344188cc55b16f314c3c5358ace8a266/emacs.d/init.el#L1249 It's simple but it's very helpful. I like to have a project command view with dired at root on the left and magit or vc.el on the right, and I can go back to that view with a single command, gk-home, bound to the Home key. Popping a shell at bottom like yakuake with a single keybinding to gk-pop-shell is very useful too. I use frame parameters to tie projects up with frames so these two functions know what to do in each project frame. Titles are set up such that it's easy to find a particular frame with something like Rofi.
