This is my Emacs configuration, a literate configuration.
A lot of this code (like too much to both sourcing for each block) is adapted from Spacemacs. You should use their configuration, not mine.
This should be in the appearance section of the org file, however doing that causes an unsightly flashing as they are first visible and then not visible. I’ll disable them here instead of that.

(setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")A few packages are so essential to the main config that they deserve a top level heading. Core editor functionality, keybindings, etc, are included here.
package-enabled-p is a function that returns true if the passed
package PKG is not a member of the list disabled-packages.
(defvar disabled-packages '())
(defun package-enabled-p (pkg)
(not (memq pkg disabled-packages)))The package! macro wraps use-package with feature toggles that allow
easy enabling and disabling of packages. It also automatically adds
:quelpa t unless another :quelpa binding is specified.

The prefix system I have hashed out works in a simple, but predictable
manor. When you call add-prefix with a prefix and name, it looks up
which-key-replacement-alist to find any prior prefixes declared with a
description. If it finds a previous prefix description, it appends to
that, otherwise creating a new prefix. This way, in calling
(add-prefix "f" "files") and then (add-prefix "f" "find"), which-key
will show “f → files/find”.
(defun prefix-description (key-seq)

)I like the idea of splitting configuration into modules very much. Spacemacs has at least shown me a way to do this with directories, but the same principle can apply to directories. Ultimately I would like to use tags to toggle modules on and off.
