Centaur Emacs
A Fancy and Fast Emacs Configuration
This is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default Emacs experience. It alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users. It’s able to run on Windows, GNU Linux and macOS. It is compatible ONLY with GNU Emacs 26.1 and above. In general you’re advised to always run with the latest stable release, currently 28.2. Supports multiple programming languages, C/C++/Object-C/C#/Java, Python/Ruby/Perl/PHP/Shell/Powershell/Bat, JavaScript/Typescript/JSON/YAML, HTML/CSS/XML, and Golang/Swift/Rust/Dart/Elixir. -

Magit
A Git porcelain inside Emacs
Magit is a complete text-based user interface to Git. It fills the glaring gap between the Git command-line interface and various GUIs, letting you perform trivial as well as elaborate version control tasks with just a couple of mnemonic key presses. Magit looks like a prettified version of what you get after running a few Git commands but in Magit every bit of visible information is also actionable to an extent that goes far beyond what any Git GUI provides and it takes care of automatically refreshing this output when it becomes outdated. In the background Magit just runs Git commands and if you wish you can see what exactly is being run, making it possible for you to learn the git command-line by using Magit. Using Magit for a while will make you a more effective version control user. Magit supports and streamlines the use of Git features that most users and developers of other Git clients apparently thought could not be reasonably mapped to a non-command-line interface. -

Mozc
Mozc - a Japanese Input Method Editor designed for multi-platform
Mozc is an open source Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) developed by Google, designed to provide Japanese text input across multiple operating systems including Android, macOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, and Chromium OS. The project originated as a subset of Google Japanese Input, released publicly under the BSD 3-Clause license for community use and development. Mozc offers core IME functionality such as text conversion, prediction, and dictionary-based input, enabling users to efficiently type and edit Japanese text. While Mozc shares much of its codebase with Google’s internal IME, it operates as an independent open source project without official support, guarantees, or stable release cycles. Developers can build Mozc from source for their preferred platform, and the repository includes detailed build instructions for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. -

ELisp Tree-sitter
Tree-sitter bindings for Emacs Lisp
tree-sitter is an Emacs binding for Tree-sitter, an incremental parsing system. It aims to be the foundation for a new breed of Emacs packages that understand code structurally. Faster, fine-grained code highlighting. More flexible code folding. Structural editing (like Paredit, or even better) for non-Lisp code. More informative indexing for imenu. The author of Tree-sitter articulated its merits a lot better in this Strange Loop talk. The minor mode tree-sitter-mode provides a buffer-local syntax tree, which is kept up-to-date with changes to the buffer’s text. Run M-x tree-sitter-hl-mode to replace the regex-based highlighting provided by font-lock-mode with tree-based syntax highlighting. -

Clojure Mode
Emacs support for the Clojure(Script) programming language
clojure-mode is an Emacs major mode that provides font-lock (syntax highlighting), indentation, navigation and refactoring support for the Clojure(Script) programming language. MELPA Stable is the recommended repo as it has the latest stable version. MELPA has a development snapshot for users who don't mind (infrequent) breakage but don't want to run from a git checkout. Available on the major package.el community maintained repos, MELPA Stable and MELPA repos. All the major modes derive from clojure-mode and provide more or less the same functionality. Differences can be found mostly in the font-locking - e.g. ClojureScript has some built-in constructs that are not present in Clojure. The proper major mode is selected automatically based on the extension of the file you're editing. Having separate major modes gives you the flexibility to attach different hooks to them and to alter their behavior individually (e.g. add extra font-locking just to clojurescript-mode) . -

Language Server Protocol for Emacs
Emacs client/library for the language server protocol
Client for Language Server Protocol (v3.14). lsp-mode aims to provide IDE-like experience by providing optional integration with the most popular Emacs packages like company, flycheck and projectile. Works out of the box and automatically upgrades if additional packages are present. Choose between full-blown IDE with flashy UI or minimal distraction-free. Supports all features in Language Server Protocol v3.14. Semantic tokens as defined by LSP 3.16 (compatible language servers include recent development builds of clangd and rust-analyzer). If LSP server supports completion, lsp-mode use symbols returned by the server to present the user when completion is triggered via completion-at-point. For UI feedback of the available code actions, you can enable lsp-modeline-code-actions-mode which shows available code actions on modeline. -

Solarized for Emacs
The Solarized colour theme, ported to Emacs
Solarized for Emacs is an Emacs 24bit theme making use of of the Solarized palette, developed by Ethan Schoonover. Solarized for Emacs supports officially Emacs 24+, but should be working under Emacs 23 as well. The theme is implemented in terms of customizations and def theme and does not require the color-theme-package. Solarized for Emacs is available for installation via the MELPA using package.el. This package will install two variants of the theme; solarized-light-theme and solarized-dark-theme. You can load one of the theme variants with M-x load-theme. The intent of this theme will always be that Solarized-dark/light will give you the best possible experience. Palettes other than Solarized will never have influence over theming decisions, they are complementary. You should not expect the complementary themes to be fully accurate or the most suitable versions of how to apply those palettes into an emacs theme. -

org-ql
An Org-mode query language, including search commands and saved views
This package provides a query language for Org files. It offers two syntax styles: Lisp-like sexps and search engine-like keywords. It includes three libraries: The org-ql library is flexible and may be used as a backend for other tools. The libraries org-ql-search and helm-org-ql (a separate package) provide interactive search commands and saved views. The package org-ql may be installed directly from MELPA or with other tools like Quelpa. After installation, you can use the commands without additional configuration. To use the functions and macros in your own Elisp code, use libraries org-ql and org-ql-view. Feedback on these APIs is welcome. Eventually, after being tested and polished, they will be considered stable. When formatting entries for Org QL View buffers, use internal function for retrieving heading tags. This improves speed by using our cache, and it removes the need for a compatibility alias for Org versions before 9.3. -

CIDER
The Clojure Interactive Development Environment that Rocks for Emacs
CIDER extends Emacs with support for interactive programming in Clojure. The features are centered around cider-mode, an Emacs minor-mode that complements clojure-mode. While clojure-mode supports editing Clojure source files, cider-mode adds support for interacting with a running Clojure process for compilation, debugging, definition and documentation lookup, running tests, and so on. CIDER aims to provide an interactive development experience similar to the one you’d get when programming in Emacs Lisp, Common Lisp (with SLIME or Sly), Scheme (with Geiser), and Smalltalk. Programmers are expected to program in a very dynamic and incremental manner, constantly re-evaluating existing Clojure definitions and adding new ones to their running applications. You never stop/start a Clojure application while using CIDER - you’re constantly interacting with it and changing it. -

dumb-jump
an Emacs "jump to definition" package for 50+ languages
Dumb Jump is an Emacs "jump to definition" package with support for 50+ programming languages that favors "just working". This means minimal -- and ideally zero-configuration with absolutely no stored indexes (TAGS) or persistent background processes. Dumb Jump requires at least GNU Emacs 24.3. Dumb Jump uses The Silver Searcher ag, ripgrep rg, or grep to find potential definitions of a function or variable under point. It uses a set of regular expressions based on the file extension, or major-mode, of the current buffer. The matches are run through a shared set of heuristic methods to find the best candidate to jump to. If it can't decide it will present the user with a list in a pop-menu, helm, or ivy (see dumb-jump-selector). For the currently supported languages it seems to do a good job of finding what you want. If you find a case where it does not work as expected do not hesitate to open an issue. It can be slow if it needs to use grep and/or a project is large. -

zenburn-theme for Emacs
The Zenburn colour theme ported to Emacs
Zenburn for Emacs is a direct port of the popular Zenburn theme for vim, developed by Jani Nurminen. It's my personal belief (and that of its many users I presume) that it's one of the best low-contrast color themes out there and that it is exceptionally easy on the eyes. This theme uses the "new" (it used to be new several years ago when I created this package) built-in theming support available starting with Emacs 24.1. You can support the development of Zenburn for Emacs via GitHub Sponsors, ko-fi, PayPal and Patreon. Zenburn for Emacs is already bundled into Emacs Prelude. If you're a Prelude user - you're probably already using Zenburn, since it's Prelude's default color theme. You can load Zenburn at any time by M-x load-theme zenburn. If you'd like to tweak the theme by changing just a few colors, you can do so by defining new values in the zenburn-override-colors-alist variable before loading the theme. -

Emacs Markdown Mode
Emacs Markdown Mode
markdown-mode is a major mode for editing Markdown-formatted text. The latest stable version is markdown-mode 2.5, released on Feb 12, 2022. See the release notes for details. markdown-mode is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL, version 3 or later. The primary documentation for Markdown Mode is available below, and is generated from comments in the source code. For a more in-depth treatment, the Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs covers Markdown syntax, advanced movement and editing in Emacs, extensions, configuration examples, tips and tricks, and a survey of other packages that work with Markdown Mode. Finally, Emacs is also a self-documenting editor. This means that the source code itself contains additional documentation: each function has its own docstring available via C-h f (describe-function), individual keybindings can be investigated with C-h k (describe-key), and a complete list of keybindings is available using C-h m (describe-mode). -

Flycheck
On the fly syntax checking for GNU Emacs
Flycheck is a modern on-the-fly syntax-checking extension for GNU Emacs, intended as replacement for the older Flymake extension which is part of GNU Emacs. For a detailed comparison to Flymake see Flycheck versus Flymake. It uses various syntax checking and linting tools to automatically check the contents of buffers while you type, and reports warnings and errors directly in the buffer, or in an optional error list. Out of the box Flycheck supports over 40 different programming languages with more than 80 different syntax-checking tools, and comes with a simple interface to define new syntax checkers. Many 3rd party extensions provide new syntax checkers and other features like alternative error displays or mode line indicators. Flycheck needs GNU Emacs 24.3+, and works best on Unix systems. Windows users, please be aware that Flycheck does not support Windows officially, although it should mostly work fine on Windows. -
