    46 Emacs packages

    For future reference, below is a list of Emacs packages I use. This list does not including org-mode which comes pre-installed in GNU Emacs and where most of my work gets done.

    These are not packages but some settings I use:

    • (custom-set-faces '(fringe ((t :background "#ffffff")))) for a white fringe to merge with the modus-operandi theme
    • SF Mono from Apple as the typeface, set in 16px with line-spacing 7, set as (set-frame-font "SF Mono 16" nil t) (setq-default line-spacing 7)

    I like to keep my Emacs set-up slim but tailored to my liking. Striking that fine balance between customisation and actually getting some work done is always important.

    This is a note: a brief thought or notable piece of information from my commonplace book. For longer writings, please turn to the ‘Essays’ section.
