1 Introduction
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
The ‘use-package’ macro allows you to isolate package configuration in
|
|
your ‘.emacs’ file in a way that is both performance-oriented and, well,
|
|
tidy. I created it because I have over 400 packages that I use in
|
|
Emacs, and things were getting difficult to manage. Yet with this
|
|
utility my total load time is around 2 seconds, with no loss of
|
|
functionality!

use-package can be installed using Emacs’ package manager or manually
|
|
from its development repository.

|
2.1 Installing from an Elpa Archive
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
use-package is available from Melpa and Melpa-Stable. If you haven’t
|
|
used Emacs’ package manager before, then it is high time you familiarize
|
|
yourself with it by reading the documentation in the Emacs manual, see
|
|
*note (emacs)Packages::. Then add one of the archives to
|
|
‘package-archives’:
|
|
|
|
• To use Melpa:
|
|
|
|
(require 'package)
|
|
(add-to-list 'package-archives
|
|
'("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
|
|
|
|
• To use Melpa-Stable:
|
|
|
|
(require 'package)
|
|
(add-to-list 'package-archives
|
|
'("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
|
|
|
|
Once you have added your preferred archive, you need to update the
|
|
local package list using:
|
|
|
|
M-x package-refresh-contents RET
|
|
|
|
Once you have done that, you can install use-package and its
|
|
dependencies using:
|
|
|
|
M-x package-install RET use-package RET
|
|
|
|
Now see *note Post-Installation Tasks::.

|
|
|
|
2.2 Installing from the Git Repository
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
First, use Git to clone the use-package repository:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package.git ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/use-package
|
|
$ cd ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/use-package
|
|
|
|
Then compile the libraries and generate the info manuals:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
You may need to create ‘/path/to/use-package/config.mk’ with the
|
|
following content before running ‘make’:
|
|
|
|
LOAD_PATH = -L /path/to/use-package
|
|
|
|
Finally add this to your init file:
|
|
|
|
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/use-package")
|
|
(require 'use-package)
|
|
|
|
(with-eval-after-load 'info
|
|
(info-initialize)
|
|
(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list
|
|
"~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/use-package/"))
|
|
|
|
Note that elements of ‘load-path’ should not end with a slash, while
|
|
those of ‘Info-directory-list’ should.
|
|
|
|
Instead of running use-package directly from the repository by adding
|
|
it to the ‘load-path’, you might want to instead install it in some
|
|
other directory using ‘sudo make install’ and setting ‘load-path’
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
To update use-package use:
|
|
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
At times it might be necessary to run ‘make clean all’ instead.
|
|
|
|
To view all available targets use ‘make help’.
|
|
|
|
Now see *note Post-Installation Tasks::.
|
|
|
|
|
|
File: use-package.info, Node: Post-Installation Tasks, Prev: Installing from the Git Repository, Up: Installation
|
|
|
|
2.3 Post-Installation Tasks
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
After installing use-package you should verify that you are indeed using
|
|
the use-package release you think you are using. It’s best to restart
|
|
Emacs before doing so, to make sure you are not using an outdated value
|
|
for ‘load-path’.
|
|
|
|
C-h v use-package-version RET
|
|
|
|
should display something like
|
|
|
|
use-package-version’s value is "2.4"
|
|
|
|
If you are completely new to use-package then see *note Getting
|
|
Started::.
|
|
|
|
If you run into problems, then please see the *note FAQ::. Also see
|
|
the *note Debugging Tools::.

4.1 ‘:after’
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it only makes sense to configure a package after another has
|
|
been loaded, because certain variables or functions are not in scope
|
|
until that time. This can achieved using an ‘:after’ keyword that
|
|
allows a fairly rich description of the exact conditions when loading
|
|
should occur. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
(use-package hydra
|
|
:load-path "site-lisp/hydra")
|
|
|
|
(use-package ivy
|
|
:load-path "site-lisp/swiper")
|
|
|
|
(use-package ivy-hydra
|
|
:after (ivy hydra))
|
|
|
|
In this case, because all of these packages are demand-loaded in the
|
|
order they occur, the use of ‘:after’ is not strictly necessary. By
|
|
using it, however, the above code becomes order-independent, without an
|
|
implicit depedence on the nature of your init file.
|
|
|
|
By default, ‘:after (foo bar)’ is the same as ‘:after (:all foo
|
|
bar)’, meaning that loading of the given package will not happen until
|
|
both ‘foo’ and ‘bar’ have been loaded. Here are some of the other
|
|
possibilities:
|
|
|
|
:after (foo bar)
|
|
:after (:all foo bar)
|
|
:after (:any foo bar)
|
|
:after (:all (:any foo bar) (:any baz quux))
|
|
:after (:any (:all foo bar) (:all baz quux))
|
|
|
|
When you nest selectors, such as ‘(:any (:all foo bar) (:all baz
|
|
quux))’, it means that the package will be loaded when either both ‘foo’
|
|
and ‘bar’ have been loaded, or both ‘baz’ and ‘quux’ have been loaded.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
4.2 ‘:bind-keymap’, ‘:bind-keymap*’
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Normally ‘:bind’ expects that commands are functions that will be
|
|
autoloaded from the given package. However, this does not work if one
|
|
of those commands is actually a keymap, since keymaps are not functions,
|
|
and cannot be autoloaded using Emacs’ ‘autoload’ mechanism.
|
|
|
|
To handle this case, ‘use-package’ offers a special, limited variant
|
|
of ‘:bind’ called ‘:bind-keymap’. The only difference is that the
|
|
"commands" bound to by ‘:bind-keymap’ must be keymaps defined in the
|
|
package, rather than command functions. This is handled behind the
|
|
scenes by generating custom code that loads the package containing the
|
|
keymap, and then re-executes your keypress after the first load, to
|
|
reinterpret that keypress as a prefix key.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
(use-package projectile
|
|
:bind-keymap
|
|
("C-c p" . projectile-command-map)
|
|
|
|
|
|
File: use-package.info, Node: bind bind*, Next: commands, Prev: bind-keymap bind-keymap*, Up: Keywords
|
|
|
|
4.3 ‘:bind’, ‘:bind*’
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Another common thing to do when loading a module is to bind a key to
|
|
primary commands within that module:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:bind ("C-." . ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
This does two things: first, it creates an autoload for the
|
|
‘ace-jump-mode’ command and defers loading of ‘ace-jump-mode’ until you
|
|
actually use it. Second, it binds the key ‘C-.’ to that command. After
|
|
loading, you can use ‘M-x describe-personal-keybindings’ to see all such
|
|
keybindings you’ve set throughout your ‘.emacs’ file.
|
|
|
|
A more literal way to do the exact same thing is:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:commands ace-jump-mode
|
|
:init
|
|
(bind-key "C-." 'ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
When you use the ‘:commands’ keyword, it creates autoloads for those
|
|
commands and defers loading of the module until they are used. Since
|
|
the ‘:init’ form is always run—even if ‘ace-jump-mode’ might not be on
|
|
your system—remember to restrict ‘:init’ code to only what would succeed
|
|
either way.
|
|
|
|
The ‘:bind’ keyword takes either a cons or a list of conses:
|
|
|
|
(use-package hi-lock
|
|
:bind (("M-o l" . highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
|
|
("M-o r" . highlight-regexp)
|
|
("M-o w" . highlight-phrase)))
|
|
|
|
The ‘:commands’ keyword likewise takes either a symbol or a list of
|
|
symbols.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Special keys like ‘tab’ or ‘F1’-‘Fn’ can be written in square
|
|
brackets, i.e. ‘[tab]’ instead of ‘"tab"’. The syntax for the
|
|
keybindings is similar to the "kbd" syntax: see the Emacs Manual
|
|
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-Rebinding.html)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
(use-package helm
|
|
:bind (("M-x" . helm-M-x)
|
|
("M-<f5>" . helm-find-files)
|
|
([f10] . helm-buffers-list)
|
|
([S-f10] . helm-recentf)))

|
|
|
|
4.3.1 Binding to local keymaps
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Slightly different from binding a key to a keymap, is binding a key
|
|
*within* a local keymap that only exists after the package is loaded.
|
|
‘use-package’ supports this with a ‘:map’ modifier, taking the local
|
|
keymap to bind to:
|
|
|
|
(use-package helm
|
|
:bind (:map helm-command-map
|
|
("C-c h" . helm-execute-persistent-action)))
|
|
|
|
The effect of this statement is to wait until ‘helm’ has loaded, and
|
|
then to bind the key ‘C-c h’ to ‘helm-execute-persistent-action’ within
|
|
Helm’s local keymap, ‘helm-mode-map’.
|
|
|
|
Multiple uses of ‘:map’ may be specified. Any binding occurring
|
|
before the first use of ‘:map’ are applied to the global keymap:
|
|
|
|
(use-package term
|
|
:bind (("C-c t" . term)
|
|
:map term-mode-map
|
|
("M-p" . term-send-up)
|
|
("M-n" . term-send-down)
|
|
:map term-raw-map
|
|
("M-o" . other-window)
|
|
("M-p" . term-send-up)
|
|
("M-n" . term-send-down)))

|
|
|
|
4.5 ‘:preface’, ‘:init’, ‘:config’
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Here is the simplest ‘use-package’ declaration:
|
|
|
|
;; This is only needed once, near the top of the file
|
|
(eval-when-compile
|
|
;; Following line is not needed if use-package.el is in ~/.emacs.d
|
|
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path where use-package is installed>")
|
|
(require 'use-package))
|
|
|
|
(use-package foo)
|
|
|
|
This loads in the package ‘foo’, but only if ‘foo’ is available on
|
|
your system. If not, a warning is logged to the ‘*Messages*’ buffer.
|
|
If it succeeds, a message about ‘"Loading foo"’ is logged, along with
|
|
the time it took to load, if it took over 0.1 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Use the ‘:init’ keyword to execute code before a package is loaded.
|
|
It accepts one or more forms, up until the next keyword:
|
|
|
|
(use-package foo
|
|
:init
|
|
(setq foo-variable t))
|
|
|
|
Similarly, ‘:config’ can be used to execute code after a package is
|
|
loaded. In cases where loading is done lazily (see more about
|
|
autoloading below), this execution is deferred until after the autoload
|
|
occurs:
|
|
|
|
(use-package foo
|
|
:init
|
|
(setq foo-variable t)
|
|
:config
|
|
(foo-mode 1))
|
|
|
|
As you might expect, you can use ‘:init’ and ‘:config’ together:
|
|
|
|
(use-package color-moccur
|
|
:commands (isearch-moccur isearch-all)
|
|
:bind (("M-s O" . moccur)
|
|
:map isearch-mode-map
|
|
("M-o" . isearch-moccur)
|
|
("M-O" . isearch-moccur-all))
|
|
:init
|
|
(setq isearch-lazy-highlight t)
|
|
:config
|
|
(use-package moccur-edit))
|
|
|
|
In this case, I want to autoload the commands ‘isearch-moccur’ and
|
|
‘isearch-all’ from ‘color-moccur.el’, and bind keys both at the global
|
|
level and within the ‘isearch-mode-map’ (see next section). When the
|
|
package is actually loaded (by using one of these commands),
|
|
‘moccur-edit’ is also loaded, to allow editing of the ‘moccur’ buffer.

4.6 ‘:custom’
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The ‘:custom’ keyword allows customization of package custom variables.
|
|
|
|
(use-package comint
|
|
:custom
|
|
(comint-buffer-maximum-size 20000 "Increase comint buffer size.")

4.7 ‘:custom-face’
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The ‘:custom-face’ keyword allows customization of package custom faces.
|
|
|
|
(use-package eruby-mode
|
|
:custom-face
|
|
(eruby-standard-face ((t (:slant italic)))))

|
4.8 ‘:defer’, ‘:demand’
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
In almost all cases you don’t need to manually specify ‘:defer t’. This
|
|
is implied whenever ‘:bind’ or ‘:mode’ or ‘:interpreter’ is used.
|
|
Typically, you only need to specify ‘:defer’ if you know for a fact that
|
|
some other package will do something to cause your package to load at
|
|
the appropriate time, and thus you would like to defer loading even
|
|
though use-package isn’t creating any autoloads for you.
|
|
|
|
You can override package deferral with the ‘:demand’ keyword. Thus,
|
|
even if you use ‘:bind’, using ‘:demand’ will force loading to occur
|
|
immediately and not establish an autoload for the bound key.

4.9 ‘:defines’, ‘:functions’
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Another feature of ‘use-package’ is that it always loads every file that
|
|
it can when ‘.emacs’ is being byte-compiled. This helps to silence
|
|
spurious warnings about unknown variables and functions.
|
|
|
|
However, there are times when this is just not enough. For those
|
|
times, use the ‘:defines’ and ‘:functions’ keywords to introduce dummy
|
|
variable and function declarations solely for the sake of the
|
|
byte-compiler:
|
|
|
|
(use-package texinfo
|
|
:defines texinfo-section-list
|
|
:commands texinfo-mode
|
|
:init
|
|
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.texi$" . texinfo-mode)))
|
|
|
|
If you need to silence a missing function warning, you can use
|
|
‘:functions’:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ruby-mode
|
|
:mode "\\.rb\\'"
|
|
:interpreter "ruby"
|
|
:functions inf-ruby-keys
|
|
:config
|
|
(defun my-ruby-mode-hook ()
|
|
(require 'inf-ruby)
|
|
(inf-ruby-keys))
|
|
|
|
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 'my-ruby-mode-hook))

4.10 ‘:diminish’, ‘:delight’
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
‘use-package’ also provides built-in support for the diminish and
|
|
delight utilities—if you have them installed. Their purpose is to
|
|
remove or change minor mode strings in your mode-line.
|
|
|
|
diminish (https://github.com/myrjola/diminish.el) is invoked with the
|
|
‘:diminish’ keyword, which is passed either a minor mode symbol, a cons
|
|
of the symbol and its replacement string, or just a replacement string,
|
|
in which case the minor mode symbol is guessed to be the package name
|
|
with "-mode" appended at the end:
|
|
|
|
(use-package abbrev
|
|
:diminish abbrev-mode
|
|
:config
|
|
(if (file-exists-p abbrev-file-name)
|
|
(quietly-read-abbrev-file)))
|
|
|
|
delight (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/delight.html) is invoked with
|
|
the ‘:delight’ keyword, which is passed a minor mode symbol, a
|
|
replacement string or quoted mode-line data
|
|
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Mode-Line-Data.html)
|
|
(in which case the minor mode symbol is guessed to be the package name
|
|
with "-mode" appended at the end), both of these, or several lists of
|
|
both. If no arguments are provided, the default mode name is hidden
|
|
completely.
|
|
|
|
;; Don't show anything for rainbow-mode.
|
|
(use-package rainbow-mode
|
|
:delight)
|
|
|
|
;; Don't show anything for auto-revert-mode, which doesn't match
|
|
;; its package name.
|
|
(use-package autorevert
|
|
:delight auto-revert-mode)
|
|
|
|
;; Remove the mode name for projectile-mode, but show the project name.
|
|
(use-package projectile
|
|
:delight '(:eval (concat " " (projectile-project-name))))
|
|
|
|
;; Completely hide visual-line-mode and change auto-fill-mode to " AF".
|
|
(use-package emacs
|
|
:delight
|
|
(auto-fill-function " AF")
|
|
(visual-line-mode))

4.11 ‘:disabled’
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The ‘:disabled’ keyword can turn off a module you’re having difficulties
|
|
with, or stop loading something you’re not using at the present time:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ess-site
|
|
:disabled
|
|
:commands R)
|
|
|
|
When byte-compiling your ‘.emacs’ file, disabled declarations are
|
|
omitted from the output entirely, to accelerate startup times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
File: use-package.info, Node: ensure pin, Next: hook, Prev: disabled, Up: Keywords
|
|
|
|
4.12 ‘:ensure’, ‘:pin’
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
You can use ‘use-package’ to load packages from ELPA with ‘package.el’.
|
|
This is particularly useful if you share your ‘.emacs’ among several
|
|
machines; the relevant packages are downloaded automatically once
|
|
declared in your ‘.emacs’. The ‘:ensure’ keyword causes the package(s)
|
|
to be installed automatically if not already present on your system (set
|
|
‘(setq use-package-always-ensure t)’ if you wish this behavior to be
|
|
global for all packages):
|
|
|
|
(use-package magit
|
|
:ensure t)
|
|
|
|
If you need to install a different package from the one named by
|
|
‘use-package’, you can specify it like this:
|
|
|
|
(use-package tex
|
|
:ensure auctex)
|
|
|
|
Lastly, when running on Emacs 24.4 or later, use-package can pin a
|
|
package to a specific archive, allowing you to mix and match packages
|
|
from different archives. The primary use-case for this is preferring
|
|
packages from the ‘melpa-stable’ and ‘gnu’ archives, but using specific
|
|
packages from ‘melpa’ when you need to track newer versions than what is
|
|
available in the ‘stable’ archives is also a valid use-case.
|
|
|
|
By default ‘package.el’ prefers ‘melpa’ over ‘melpa-stable’ due to
|
|
the versioning ‘(> evil-20141208.623 evil-1.0.9)’, so even if you are
|
|
tracking only a single package from ‘melpa’, you will need to tag all
|
|
the non-‘melpa’ packages with the appropriate archive. If this really
|
|
annoys you, then you can set ‘use-package-always-pin’ to set a default.
|
|
|
|
If you want to manually keep a package updated and ignore upstream
|
|
updates, you can pin it to ‘manual’, which as long as there is no
|
|
repository by that name, will Just Work(tm).
|
|
|
|
‘use-package’ throws an error if you try to pin a package to an
|
|
archive that has not been configured using ‘package-archives’ (apart
|
|
from the magic ‘manual’ archive mentioned above):
|
|
|
|
Archive 'foo' requested for package 'bar' is not available.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
(use-package company
|
|
:ensure t
|
|
:pin melpa-stable)
|
|
|
|
(use-package evil
|
|
:ensure t)
|
|
;; no :pin needed, as package.el will choose the version in melpa
|
|
|
|
(use-package adaptive-wrap
|
|
:ensure t
|
|
;; as this package is available only in the gnu archive, this is
|
|
;; technically not needed, but it helps to highlight where it
|
|
;; comes from
|
|
:pin gnu)
|
|
|
|
(use-package org
|
|
:ensure t
|
|
;; ignore org-mode from upstream and use a manually installed version
|
|
:pin manual)
|
|
|
|
*NOTE*: the ‘:pin’ argument has no effect on emacs versions < 24.4.

4.13 ‘:hook’
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The ‘:hook’ keyword allows adding functions onto hooks, here only the
|
|
basename of the hook is required. Thus, all of the following are
|
|
equivalent:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:hook prog-mode)
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:hook (prog-mode . ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:commands ace-jump-mode
|
|
:init
|
|
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
And likewise, when multiple hooks should be applied, the following
|
|
are also equivalent:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:hook (prog-mode text-mode))
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:hook ((prog-mode text-mode) . ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:hook ((prog-mode . ace-jump-mode)
|
|
(text-mode . ace-jump-mode)))
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:commands ace-jump-mode
|
|
:init
|
|
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'ace-jump-mode)
|
|
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
The use of ‘:hook’, as with ‘:bind’, ‘:mode’, ‘:interpreter’, etc.,
|
|
causes the functions being hooked to implicitly be read as ‘:commands’
|
|
(meaning they will establish interactive ‘autoload’ definitions for that
|
|
module, if not already defined as functions), and so ‘:defer t’ is also
|
|
implied by ‘:hook’.

|

|

|
|
|
|
4.14 ‘:if’, ‘:when’, ‘:unless’
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
You can use the ‘:if’ keyword to predicate the loading and
|
|
initialization of modules.
|
|
|
|
For example, I only want ‘edit-server’ running for my main, graphical
|
|
Emacs, not for other Emacsen I may start at the command line:
|
|
|
|
(use-package edit-server
|
|
:if window-system
|
|
:init
|
|
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'server-start t)
|
|
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'edit-server-start t))
|
|
|
|
In another example, we can load things conditional on the operating
|
|
system:
|
|
|
|
(use-package exec-path-from-shell
|
|
:if (memq window-system '(mac ns))
|
|
:ensure t
|
|
:config
|
|
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize))
|
|
|
|
Note that ‘:when’ is provided as an alias for ‘:if’, and ‘:unless
|
|
foo’ means the same thing as ‘:if (not foo)’.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
4.15 ‘:load-path’
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
If your package needs a directory added to the ‘load-path’ in order to
|
|
load, use ‘:load-path’. This takes a symbol, a function, a string or a
|
|
list of strings. If the path is relative, it is expanded within
|
|
‘user-emacs-directory’:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ess-site
|
|
:load-path "site-lisp/ess/lisp/"
|
|
:commands R)
|
|
|
|
Note that when using a symbol or a function to provide a dynamically
|
|
generated list of paths, you must inform the byte-compiler of this
|
|
definition so the value is available at byte-compilation time. This is
|
|
done by using the special form ‘eval-and-compile’ (as opposed to
|
|
‘eval-when-compile’). Further, this value is fixed at whatever was
|
|
determined during compilation, to avoid looking up the same information
|
|
again on each startup:
|
|
|
|
(eval-and-compile
|
|
(defun ess-site-load-path ()
|
|
(shell-command "find ~ -path ess/lisp")))
|
|
|
|
(use-package ess-site
|
|
:load-path (lambda () (list (ess-site-load-path)))
|
|
:commands R)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
4.16 ‘:mode’, ‘:interpreter’
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Similar to ‘:bind’, you can use ‘:mode’ and ‘:interpreter’ to establish
|
|
a deferred binding within the ‘auto-mode-alist’ and
|
|
‘interpreter-mode-alist’ variables. The specifier to either keyword can
|
|
be a cons cell, a list of cons cells, or a string or regexp:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ruby-mode
|
|
:mode "\\.rb\\'"
|
|
:interpreter "ruby")
|
|
|
|
;; The package is "python" but the mode is "python-mode":
|
|
(use-package python
|
|
:mode ("\\.py\\'" . python-mode)
|
|
:interpreter ("python" . python-mode))
|
|
|
|
If you aren’t using ‘:commands’, ‘:bind’, ‘:bind*’, ‘:bind-keymap’,
|
|
‘:bind-keymap*’, ‘:mode’, or ‘:interpreter’ (all of which imply
|
|
‘:defer’; see the docstring for ‘use-package’ for a brief description of
|
|
each), you can still defer loading with the ‘:defer’ keyword:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:defer t
|
|
:init
|
|
(autoload 'ace-jump-mode "ace-jump-mode" nil t)
|
|
(bind-key "C-." 'ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|
This does exactly the same thing as the following:
|
|
|
|
(use-package ace-jump-mode
|
|
:bind ("C-." . ace-jump-mode))
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
4.17 ‘:magic’, ‘:magic-fallback’
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Similar to ‘:mode‘ and ‘:interpreter‘, you can also use ‘:magic‘ and
|
|
‘:magic-fallback‘ to cause certain function to be run if the beginning
|
|
of a file matches a given regular expression. The difference between
|
|
the two is that ‘:magic-fallback‘ has a lower priority than ‘:mode‘.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
“‘ elisp (use-package pdf-tools :load-path "site-lisp/pdf-tools/lisp"
|
|
:magic ("%PDF" . pdf-view-mode) :config (pdf-tools-install)) “‘
|
|
|
|
This registers an autoloaded command for ‘pdf-view-mode‘, defers
|
|
loading of ‘pdf-tools‘, and runs ‘pdf-view-mode‘ if the beginning of a
|
|
buffer matches the string ‘"%PDF"‘.

|

|
4.18 ‘:no-require’
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Normally, ‘use-package’ will load each package at compile time before
|
|
compiling the configuration, to ensure that any necessary symbols are in
|
|
scope to satisfy the byte-compiler. At times this can cause problems,
|
|
since a package may have special loading requirements, and all that you
|
|
want to use ‘use-package’ for is to add a configuration to the
|
|
‘eval-after-load’ hook. In such cases, use the ‘:no-require’ keyword:
|
|
|
|
(use-package foo
|
|
:no-require t
|
|
:config
|
|
(message "This is evaluated when `foo' is loaded"))
|
|
|
|
|
|
File: use-package.info, Node: requires, Prev: no-require, Up: Keywords
|
|
|
|
4.19 ‘:requires’
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
While the ‘:after’ keyword delays loading until the dependencies are
|
|
loaded, the somewhat simpler ‘:requires’ keyword simply never loads the
|
|
package if the dependencies are not available at the time the
|
|
‘use-package’ declaration is encountered. By "available" in this
|
|
context it means that ‘foo’ is available of ‘(featurep 'foo)’ evaulates
|
|
to a non-nil value. For example:
|
|
|
|
(use-package abbrev
|
|
:requires foo)
|
|
|
|
This is the same as:
|
|
|
|
(use-package abbrev
|
|
:if (featurep 'foo))
|
|
|
|
As a convenience, a list of such packages may be specified:
|
|
|
|
(use-package abbrev
|
|
:requires (foo bar baz))
|
|
|
|
For more complex logic, such as that supported by ‘:after’, simply
|
|
use ‘:if’ and the appropriate Lisp expression.
