emacs-profiles

Configuration profiles for Emacs.

You can use emacs-profiles to switch between multiple sets of configuration at a couple of key-presses.

Installation

Manual

Save the file emacs-profiles.el to disk and add the directory containing it to load-path using a command in your .emacs file like:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/")

The above line assumes that you've placed the file into the Emacs directory '.emacs.d'.

Start the package with:

(require 'emacs-profiles)

Marmalade

If you have Marmalade added as a repository to your Emacs, you can just install emacs-profiles with

M-x package-install emacs-profiles RET

Usage

Set a key-binding to open the configuration menu that displays all configured configurations.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-`") 'emacs-profiles-show-menu)

You can also define your configuration as

(emacs-profiles-set-profiles-data
    (list '("1" 
            "Office" 
            (lambda ()
                (invert-face 'default)))
          '("2" 
            "Home" 
            (lambda ()
                (menu-bar-mode -1)
                (tool-bar-mode -1)
                (scroll-bar-mode -1)))))

Each item in the list should contain three elements:

• Key to be pressed to load the profile
• Name of the profile
• A function to be executed against the key, the function that contains all scripts to be executed to apply that particular configuration.

Lastly, you can also call emacs-profiles-show-menu at startup so that you can choose which profile to start Emacs in when you start it.
