HI!
I’ve been using emacs and played around with configuration and finally found a
good and very useful setup using LMTX installation.
Also I’ve customized with help from YAsnippet my own snippets så it goes very
fast.
Below I have a setup on my macos that uses
- ConTeXt LMTX
- emacs-lisp setting in ~/.emacs.d/init.el
- customized setting for preview with Skim pdf reader
- YASnippet snippets on my dropbox cloudstoring so I can use it on several
computers and has a macro syntax easy to learn.
- Bind-keys for fast build and preview on two pane "side by side editor and
previewer" in "TeXshop style”.
C-å Build document and C-c C-v for fast preview in Skim
Something to start playing with below to put in your init.el file
;; This is for getting preferred position and size of the emacs editor frame
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(top . 25))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(left . 1))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 56))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 120))
;; For solving path issues install: do M-x package-install RET
exec-path-from-shel RETl
(when (memq window-system '(mac ns x))
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
;; For configuring context
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tex\\'" . context-mode))
(eval-after-load 'tex '(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
'("LuaMetaTeX"
"mtxrun --autogenerate --script context %t" TeX-run-command nil
(context-mode) :help "Run LuaMetaTeX")))
(defun myctx ()
"Saves the current buffer and runs ConTeXt, all with no prompts or further
interaction."
(interactive)
(save-buffer)
(TeX-command "LuaMetaTeX" 'TeX-master-file -1))
;; (add-hook 'ConTeXt-mode-hook 'turn-on-smartparens-strict-mode)
(add-hook 'ConTeXt-mode-hook (lambda () (define-key ConTeXt-mode-map (kbd
"C-å") 'myctx)))
(setq TeX-output-view-style '("^pdf$" "." "open -a Skim.app %o"))
(setq TeX-view-program-list
'(("Skim" "open -a Skim.app %o")
))
(add-hook 'ConTeXt-mode-hook (lambda () (setq TeX-view-program-selection
'((output-pdf "Skim")))))
;; YASnippet config
(use-package yasnippet
:config
(setq yas-snippet-dirs '("~/Dropbox/filer/system/emacsgrejer/snippets"))
(yas-global-mode 1)
(setq yas/triggers-in-field t))
Hope this helps and gives some inspiration to get started if you choose emacs
