Re: Moving to a literate file for .emacs

[Samuel Banya]

I have a literate Emacs config here that you can look at:

https://github.com/SamuelBanya/SamsEmacs/blob/main/configuration.org

https://github.com/SamuelBanya/SamsEmacs/blob/main/init.el

Take a look at the Emacs config links to other people's 'literate' Emacs configs, and you might get some ideas to steal from as well, look under 'Emacs Config Links (Custom User Configs, Emacs Distributions, etc.)':

https://apps.musimatic.xyz/webring.html

Also, Uncle Dave's Emacs YouTube tutorial is the best one for making an Emacs config based upon a 'config.org' file, would recommend this 100x:

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Sam

I see many users are switching to using a 'literate programming'

approach to tangling their .emacs file from an org file.

Has anyone solved the following problem though?  If I have a file called

config.org containing:

* test

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

  (defun quick-test ()

    "interactive"

    (* 3 9)

  )

#+end_src

and then in my .emacs file I do:

(org-babel-load-file "~/config.org")

quick-test is indeed defined, but when I do C-c f RET quick-test RET it

takes me to config.el (a tangled file, suitable for computers, not

humans), rather than config.org.  Is it possible instead to get the

editor to jump to the definition in config.org?
