This is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default Emacs experience. It alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users.

It's able to run on Windows, GNU Linux and macOS. It is compatible ONLY with <<<<<<< HEAD GNU Emacs 26.1 and above. In general you're advised to always run with the latest stable release - currently 28.2.

GNU Emacs

Please refer to Installing Emacs.

Dotfiles (Optional)

Recommend to use Centaur Dotfiles.

Quick Start

Install

mv ~/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d.bak
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d.git ~/.emacs.d

or download the zip package directly and extract to ~/.emacs.d.

If you are using Linux, you may prefer an XDG-compatible location, please use

# 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! 😄

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.

emacs -Q -l ~/.emacs.d/init-mini.el

Update

# 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

Trick: Update configurations and packages in shell.

alias upgrade_emacs='emacs -Q --batch -L "$HOME/.emacs.d/lisp/" -l "init-funcs.el" -l "init-package.el" --eval "(update-config-and-packages t)"'

Docker

cd ~/.emacs.d/Dockerfile
docker build -t centaur/emacs .
docker run -it centaur/emacs bash

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 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 for details.

2. The packages cannot be installed, what should I do?

   Generally it's due to connection issue. Please refer to #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.

3. How to search Chinese via pinyin?

   In Emacs, C-s !. If you just want to search !, use C-s \!.

4. 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).

5. 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 or eglot: Connecting to a server for the details.

6. How to enable plantuml in org-mode?

   Put (setq org-plantuml-jar-path "<path of plantumx.x.x.jar>") in custom.el.

7. 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.

8. How to use zoom-window in Centaur Emacs?

   See #169.
