A very minimal but elegant emacs (I think)

Section titled “A very minimal but elegant emacs (I think)”

The goal is to have a minimal consistent vanilla emacs (i.e. no package) and yet elegant.
The defaul font is Roboto Mono and optionally, you’ll also need the Fira Code font.

Elegant Emacs is mostly a prototype or proof of concept. While it is perfectly usable, you might want to have a look a GNU Emacs / N Λ N O which is more mature and maintained.

Usage: emacs -q -l sanity.el -l elegance.el Splash.org &
