.emacs.d

This is my personal Emacs configuration.

Features

• Package-free lite branch: No external packages installed, works on legacy systems and pure TTY environments
• Left-handed keybindings: Repurposes M-q, M-z, M-e, C-q, C-z for efficient left-hand-only workflows
• Version compatibility: Graceful degradation for Emacs 24.5+ (tested primarily on Arch Linux)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/OChicken/.emacs.d.git $HOME/.emacs.d
git clone https://github.com/OChicken/.emacs.d.git -b lite $HOME/.emacs.d  # lite version

On using lite (package-free) Emacs

emacs --lite [OPTION-OR-FILENAME]...

Key bindings

The configuration heavily modifies default Emacs bindings for left-hand operation:

• M-q / C-q → Navigate up (↑)
• M-z / C-z → Navigate down (↓)
• M-e → Enter/Return (⏎)
• M-a → Beginning of line
• C-a → Back to indentation

Note: C-z (suspend-frame) is still available via C-x C-z.

Compatibility

Primarily tested on Arch Linux. Some features may not be available on older Ubuntu LTS releases due to legacy Emacs versions, though the configuration includes graceful degradation where possible.

Use at your own risk.
