Emacs is not just an editor — it’s a way of life.

This note documents my core Emacs use cases and key configurations.

Core Packages
#

(use-package evil
  :init
  (setq evil-want-integration t)
  (setq evil-want-keybinding nil)
  :config
  (evil-mode 1))

(use-package org-roam
  :custom
  (org-roam-directory (file-truename "~/notes"))
  :config
  (org-roam-db-autosync-mode))

(use-package magit
  :bind ("C-x g" . magit-status))

Org-mode GTD Flow
#

  1. Capture — Quickly dump ideas with org-capture
  2. Clarify — Review Inbox nightly, sort into Projects / Next Actions / Someday
  3. Engage — Check org-agenda for today’s tasks
  4. Reflect — Weekly review every Sunday

External Tool Integration
#

  • Zotero — Manage references via org-cite
  • Logseq — Bidirectional sync of Org files (I mainly use Logseq on mobile, Emacs on desktop)

TODO
#

  • Optimize startup speed (currently ~2.5s)
  • Configure Denote as lightweight supplement
  • Try Eglot as LSP-mode alternative
