I'm just a devops person, not a coder by any stretch of the imagination, but I found that maintaining my .init.el in git helped me to learn enough elisp to be useful/dangerous. I really dig that it's a full on language used for the configuration files. It just makes so much sense to do it that way. (I also like VSCode's json prefs) Also I love sharing snippets of my .init.el: 40 │ ;; Taken from https://karl-voit.at/2017/02/11/my-system-is-foobar/ 41 │ ;; Check if system is Darwin/macOS 42 │ (defun my-system-type-is-darwin () 43 │ "Return non-nil if system is darwin-based (Mac OS X)." 44 │ (string-equal system-type "darwin") 45 │ ) ... 65 │ 66 │ (when (my-system-type-is-darwin) 67 │ ;; EXAMPLE: (global-set-key (kbd "C-z") 'shell) 68 │ ;; https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-Rebinding.html#Init-Rebinding 69 │ (global-set-key (kbd "s-/") 'comment-or-uncomment-region-or-line) 70 │ (global-set-key (kbd "s-<backspace>") '(lambda () (interactive) (kill-line 0))) 71 │ )
