Auto Switch Input Method in Evil

This setting makes it possible to switch input method based on the context of cursor when entering insert mode.

sis

I’m using sis package with this configuration. You may need to install macism if you’re not using railwaycat/emacsmacport. More settings can be found in emacs-smart-input-source.

(sis-ism-lazyman-config
 "com.apple.keylayout.US"
 "com.apple.inputmethod.SCIM.ITABC")

(sis-global-cursor-color-mode t)
(sis-global-respect-mode t)
(sis-global-context-mode t)
(sis-global-inline-mode t)

fcitx

You can also install fcitx-remote for-osx and use cute-jumper/fcitx.el to do so. As homebrew no longer support some build options, you need to follow the install instructions in the GitHub repository to build fcitx.

C-m, RET and Return Key in Emacs

bebound@gmail.com (KK) — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 21:23:00 +0800

I use Emacs to write blog. In the recent update, I found M-RET no longer behave as leader key in org mode, but behave as org-meta-return. And even more strange is that in other mode, it behave as leader key. And M-RET also works in terminal in org mode. In GUI, pressing C-M-m can trigger leader key.

SO I opened this issue, with the help of these friends, the issue has been fixed. Here is the cause of the bug.

Preview LaTeX in Org Mode with Emacs in MacOS

bebound@gmail.com (KK) — Sun, 12 May 2019 20:26:00 +0800

Using the right Emacs Version

I failed to preview LaTeX with emacs-plus. If you have installed d12frosted/emacs-plus, uninstall it and use emacs-mac.

brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport
brew install emacs-mac

If you like the fancy spacemacs icon, install it with cask: brew cask install emacs-mac-spacemacs-icon

Install Tex

Download and install BasicTeX.pkg here.
Add /Library/TeX/texbin to PATH.
Install dvisvgm by sudo tlmgr update --self && sudo tlmgr install dvisvgm collection-fontsrecommended

Emacs settings

Add TeX related bin to path: (setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/Library/TeX/texbin"))
Tell Org Mode to create svg images: (setq org-latex-create-formula-image-program 'dvisvgm)

Now you can see the rendered LaTeX equation by calling org-preview-latex-fragment or using shortcut ,Tx.
