• dot-emacs.d-slash-user.el

XEmacs

Please note, that I have switched to Gnu Emacs (22) since 2007-10. My XEmacs configuration followed me over 10 years and grew, was rearranged, was rerearranged, grew, grew and got even bigger. It is well tuned to my taste it did almost everything that I needed. Thus, it shall remain here as a source of ideas for generations to come :-)

How I Organize my Configuration Files

• ~/.xemacs/ -- Directory
  • init.el -- load-path, package system, load custom, personal.el, desktop and mtorus
  • site-lisp/ -- Downloaded elisp not in distribution
  • xemacs-packages/ -- Directory for the package system, which I rarely use
  • my/ -- my configuration
    • config/ --
      • custom.el -- my custom-file
      • gnus-init.el -- my gnus-init-file
      • personal.el -- main configuration file, hooks, packages, STUFF
      • ska-global-keys.el
      • ska-local-keys.el
      • user.el -- sets copyright holder and mail address
      • vm-init.el
    • data/ (contains bbdb, places, picklist, shadow, ctypes, ....)
    • lisp/ (lisp libs written by me or by good ol' friends or that I have modified)
    • templates/
      • ska-auto-insert.el
      • ska-skel-c.el
