Quality of Life
These packages make my emacs usage a lot more pleasant. Many packages that are mostly aimed towards this end will go here.
which-key
This is now included in emacs, but I do make a slight modification to the default behavior as I enable it.
(which-key-mode)
(which-key-setup-side-window-bottom)anzu
Great package that highlights matches and displays match total on the status bar.
(use-package anzu
:defer 10
:config (global-anzu-mode))Casual
I'd like to start using transient over hydra. Casual does a lot of the leg work for us.
(use-package casual
:ensure t
:bind
("C-o" . casual-editkit-main-tmenu) ;; Global EditKit menu
(:map dired-mode-map
("C-o" . casual-dired-tmenu)

(:map org-agenda-mode-map
("C-o" . casual-agenda-tmenu)
("M-j" . org-agenda-clock-goto)
("J" . bookmark-jump))
(:map ibuffer-mode-map

("}" . ibuffer-forward-next-marked)
("[" . ibuffer-backward-filter-group)
("]" . ibuffer-forward-filter-group)

Embark is like a DWIM version of which-key in a sense. Though it is more oriented towards maps rather than every possible key. Before reaching for a manual I often give embark a try in the buffer and find what I'm looking for.
(use-package embark
:ensure t
:bind
(("C-." . embark-act) ;; pick some comfortable binding
("C-;" . embark-dwim) ;; good alternative: M-.
("C-h B" . embark-bindings)) ;; alternative for `describe-bindings'
:init
;; Optionally replace the key help with a completing-read interface
(setq prefix-help-command #'embark-prefix-help-command)
;; Show the Embark target at point via Eldoc. You may adjust the
;; Eldoc strategy, if you want to see the documentation from
;; multiple providers. Beware that using this can be a little
;; jarring since the message shown in the minibuffer can be more
;; than one line, causing the modeline to move up and down:
;; (add-hook 'eldoc-documentation-functions #'embark-eldoc-first-target)
;; (setq eldoc-documentation-strategy #'eldoc-documentation-compose-eagerly)
:config
;; Hide the mode line of the Embark live/completions buffers
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\`\\*Embark Collect \\(Live\\|Completions\\)\\*"
nil
(window-parameters (mode-line-format . none)))))
;; Consult users will also want the embark-consult package.
(use-package embark-consult
:ensure t ; only need to install it, embark loads it after consult if found
:hook
(embark-collect-mode . consult-preview-at-point-mode))I've been using some LLMs for test generation, and search lately. For now I'm going to try out gptel and see how I like it.
(use-package gptel
:config
(setq
gptel-model 'gemini-3-pro-preview
gptel-api-key (lambda () (auth-source-pick-first-password :host "generativelanguage.googleapis.com"))
gptel-backend (gptel-make-gemini "Gemini"
:stream t
:key #'gptel-api-key-from-auth-source)))
