** Customization
Emacs shines in its ease of customization. Get used to tweaking settings and building new features. It's one of the pleasures of working with Emacs: making the perfect setup.
This config is meant only as a starting place. You should tear it to pieces and make it your own, or only refer to pieces of it while building up your own config.
If you take the whole config, you'll need to do a decent amount of setup work to get all features working properly. I can attest that it's well worth it once everything has been configured, so stick to it!
*** "This machine only" config
To facilitate different settings per machine (e.g. your home config and work config differences), there's a simple mechanism:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
;; Stuff unique to certain machines (mine here for reference)
~macoy-org-dir~ makes quick org opening possible via ~M-p~.
**** Org-jira
If you want to use ~org-jira~, set your company's JIRA url:
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(setq jiralib-url "http://jira:8080")
#+END_SRC
*** Search
The search functionality (e.g. provided by ~C-e~ and ~C-S-f~) is extensive and a bit complicated. I made it to handle searching rather large collections of text quickly (we're talking tens of gigabytes, full text search).
You should open [[search.el]] and read through it. Many directories, regex filters, and index locations should be customized to fit your project.
The tool you should use most often is ~codesearch~, which is a very fast index-based search tool. ~ag~ serves as the general purpose, non-index-based but better than grep search tool.
~C-e~ serves as a quick menu to searching using any of the techniques I've added. You should add your own techniques if you e.g. have multiple separate ~codesearch~ directories.
*** Source Control
In general, you should use ~vc-~ prefixed commands or ~magit~ for handling source control, but I've provided some TortoiseSVN commands in [[source-control.el]]. You'll need to tweak them for your repository (assuming you want to).
*** Tags and Autocompletion
Like searching, tag navigation (e.g. Go To Definition-like functionality) and autocompletion is extensive and complicated.
You should open [[tags-and-autocompletion.el]] and read through it, making sure your executable paths and project paths are set.
