The “emacs-magus” organization hosts Emacs init.el configuration utility packages. The packages here are meant in part to replace general.el with smaller, more focused packages, but some also provide novel functionality.

Doom has a lot of useful functionality that is unfortunately not available to non-Doom users without copying code.

Here are packages that replace previously unpackaged Doom functionality:

• familiar - An alternative to general.el and map! (map! is built on general.el)
• on.el - Provides hooks added by Doom like on-switch-buffer-hook, on-switch-window-hook, and on-switch-frame-hook
• satch.el - Provides setting, hook, and advice helpers (including transient hooks and advice like found in Doom)
• once - Provides alternatives to Doom’s :after-call, :defer-incrementally, defer-until!, etc. for delaying loading (or configuring) packages until some condition is met
• handle - Allows having a single command to do things like start a repl, evaluate code, pull up documentation, etc.; you run handle to associate the correct functions with each feature for a major mode
• templates - There is yatemplate, but it unfortunately does not currently support a lot of the things Doom’s template system does (e.g. complex conditional activation)

There are also the obvious packages that like doom-modeline and doom-themes.

• familiar - Replaces general.el key definers
  • imp - Evil support for familiar
  • leto.el - “Instructor” to generate a minimal/readable expansion of familiar forms, so you can see what code they will run
• arcana - Replaces general.el key definition helpers (general-key, general-simulate-key, general-key-dispatch, general-predicate-dispatch, etc.)
• satch.el - Replaces general.el non-keybinding configuration utilities (setting, hook, and advice helpers)
• once - Replaces general.el’s deferred evaluation utilities (which were mostly placeholders or unimplemented)
• ? - Replaces general-override-mode

• foundation - My personal setup.el keywords that are not found in other packages (like satch.el and familiar)
• quicken - “Hacks” to speed up Emacs initialization (meant more to be a template for early-init files and provide potentially useful code to copy into your configuration; will likely never be part of a package archive)
