(#4236325)
Looking through my .emacs for things I, personally, have written:
- A little hook to use an external Python program (cheating, I know) to look up the definition of the word under the cursor in the OS X dictionary.
- Several customizations for org-mode, which I use for anything where I want to make an outline, including and especially to-do lists.
- I actually still have some code to do "smart tabs" (http://www.emacswiki.org/SmartTabs) for some modes, though that's now probably obsolete if I would only configure up the code mentioned in that list for C modes. (I'm already using it for e.g. Python code.)
- Some configuration for LaTeX editing, like packages AUCTeX doesn't know about, converting words/phrases into \gls (glossary) references.
I actually have less custom stuff in .emacs than I thought. Having a programmable editor does mean that it's relatively easy for other people to write some really useful stuff which I then get to use. I have some local modifications to other people's packages which I don't have time to enumerate right now.
