Some useful add-ons that can be installed

• yasnippet: It allows to type an abbreviation and automatically expand it into function templates written in plain text, so they are easy to create and edit shortcuts.
• corfu: small package, which relies on the Emacs completion facilities and concentrates on providing a polished completion UI.
  
• AUCTeX: package for TeX files. In particular, allows backward/inverse search
• Minimap: It shows a smaller "minibar", highlights the portion of the buffer that is currently visible in the main window. Particularly useful when the file is too big. You can install it from MELPA: M-x list-packages
• Sublimity: Smooth-scrolling and minimap, like (the non-free) Sublime editor.
• ellama:  is a tool for interacting with large language models from Emacs
  

 

etags is an useful tool to generate tags for Emacs. For details visit this post on this blog.

 

MELPA is a package repository that contains an enormous amount of useful Emacs packages, en particular you can install gnuplot-mode. With ALT-X install-package it is easy to install several modes, like the matlab or minimap.

 To autoload gnuplot-mode on any file with gp extension, put this in ~/.emacs file:

(setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("\\.gp$" . gnuplot-mode))
                  auto-mode-alist))

To begin using octave-mode for all .m files you visit, add the following lines to ~/.emacs file:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.m$" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist))
