welkomscherm means welcome screen in the Dutch language.
Simple, customizable and elegant dashboard package for Emacs. Compatible with GUI and TUI Emacs (> 25).
This package is not (yet) available in popular Emacs repositories such as MELPA or ELPA. An example installation with Elpaca:
(use-package welkomscherm
:ensure (:host github :repo "jjba23/welkomscherm.el" :branch "trunk")
:bind (("C-c SPC SPC" . welkomscherm))
:init
(setq welkomscherm-use-form-feed nil
welkomscherm-centered t
welkomscherm-use-section-title t)
(setq welkomscherm-bookmarks-personal
'((("dotfiles" . "~/Dev/Personal/dotfiles/")
("notes" . "~/Dev/Personal/private-notes/")
("emacs config" . "~/Dev/Personal/dotfiles/users/joe/emacs/init.el")
)
(("second-row-api" . "~/Dev/Personal/second-row-api/README.md")
("second-row-ssr" . "~/Dev/Personal/second-row-ssr/"))))
(setq welkomscherm-bookmarks-work
'((("my-work" . "~/Dev/Work/my-work/")
("hem-wiki" . "~/Dev/Work/hem-wiki/"))))
(setq welkomscherm-buttons-actions
'((("*scratch*" . (lambda (btn) (switch-to-buffer "*scratch*")))
("*Messages*" . (lambda (btn) (switch-to-buffer "*Messages*")))
("re-render me" . (lambda (btn) (welkomscherm)))))))If you want the welkomscherm to be your initial buffer when you start a new emacsclient (either GUI or terminal) then add this to your Emacs config:
(setq initial-buffer-choice
(lambda () (welkomscherm) (get-buffer welkomscherm-buffer-name)))Do note that if using use-package it’s recommendable to apply this setting in your (use-package emacs) declaration.
