`dotspacemacs-startup-lists` by default shows a number of recent files and
projects as two separate lists. If I've been working with a lot of files in one
project, then all the recent files are from one project, even if I set `recents`
to a large amount like 24. This change allows me to see the recent files by
project. Suppose, for example, I have a `vegetables` project and a `fruit`
project, and set `dotspacemacs-startup-lists` to `(recents-by-file . (2 . 3))`.
In the home buffer I will see something like:
~/vegetables
lettuce.el
squash.el
tomatoes.el
~/fruit
apple.py
orange.py
banana.py
Even though only a subpath is displayed for each file, the click functionality
still works---i.e. the link still has the full path under the covers.
I originally asked a [question](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/62524/19069)
on Emacs StackExchange to see if there were any pointers or if this was already
a solved problem. After several days of receiving no answers, and having a
little time to poke at it, I figured I'd implement it myself.
What this does not cover: mixing recent files totally outside projects into this
list. Today they are just filtered out. That is a usecase I didn't need so I
figured that could be done in a subsequent pass if somebody wanted it.
The new variable was not following the naming conventions.
The file was not initialised in core-dotspacemacs.el.
The file was not part of the .spacemacs.template.
- Removed the first line deletion.
This required the banners to have an empty first line.
- Removed the empty first line from the banners.
- Made sure that there is a single empty line between:
- The Version and Banner.
- Banner and Buttons ([?] [Homepage] ...).
- Version and Buttons (when the banner is hidden).
- Reordered the backend version insertion function call
to match the frontend Spacemacs buffer order.
- version
- banner
- buttons
Before it added:
- the banner
- then the buffers first line was removed
- then the version was added to the first line
- then the buttons were added at the bottom of the buffer
(there are more things added after the buttons,
but they haven't been changed by this commit).
- Removed the version insertion call in:
core/core-spacemacs-buffer.el
The changes above caused the version to appear twice
in the Spacemacs home buffer on startup.
I'm not sure if it has/had other uses.
This seems to be where it was first added to:
core-configuration-layer.el:
core: restore default mode line in home buffer
77161bd591
It was slightly modified in this commit:
core: defer distro insertion in home buffer
cd50d9c069
Here it was joined with the banner:
Fix version injection in home buffer
Don't inject version if banner is nil
a764eb4eb9
core: condensed versions into one string in left-hand side
spacemacs-version@emacs-version (distribution)
627e934453
- I had not seen that the version was joined with the
banner on purpose until now.
It seemed useful to still be able to see the versions
if one just wanted to hide the banner.
Therefore I opened this PR (it's been cherry-picked):
Uncouple version from banner in spacemacs buffer #11901https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/pull/11901
If there's a good reason to combine them again,
then the changes can be reverted.
The line in the Spacemacs home buffer that shows the Spacemacs version, Emacs
version and the Spacemacs distribution, for example: "0.300.0@26.1 (spacemacs)"
were tied to the banner. The line disappeared when the banner was hidden.

Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.
address: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa
ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.
Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.
BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.
I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:
(setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
enumeration lists of the form:
- lorem ipsum
* lorem ipsum
+ lorem ipsum
1. lorem ipsum
2) lorem ipsum
will be treated as separate paragraphes and not be squished by
fill-region anymore.
More flexible framed text generation:
- adjust frame width to content width
- define minimum and maximum width
- allow for inserting a caption at the bottom of the frame
Unless dotspacemacs-startup-buffer-respinsive is nil:
- framed notes are centered
- max width is adapted to the window width
Also add a note inviting the user to update his packages and dotfile on
every new release (fixes#7357).
- Apply `/` and `//` rules (double / is for private functions)
- Add missing `spacemacs/` prefixes
- Move functions used outside of spacemacs-base layer to
core/core-funcs.el
- Remove unused functions
Commit originally intented to only rename linum-update-window-scale-fix
to spacemacs/linum-update-window-scale-fix :-)
Currently j/k were only navigating between lines, but hitting RET
wouldn't work on a recent file and the like, when the cursor wasn't
directly over the filename. Changing j/k to widget navigation, ensures
that the cursor is always on something clickable. This change should
make the home buffer feel more at home for evil mode users.
TL;DR Should get 20~25% speed improvement on startup, should get a big
improvement when using ivy or helm SPC h SPC. Users with layers.el files
in their layers must use `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
instead of `configuration-layer/declare-layer`
The implementation of the layer system made heavy use of `object-assoc`
and `object-assoc-list` functions which are not efficient. This PR
mainly replaces those object lists with hash maps in order to index the
objects by their name and achieve an O(1) access time.
The old object lists `configuration-layer--layers` and
`configuration-layer--packages` have been each by two variables each:
- `configuration-layer--indexed-layers` which is a hash-map of all the
layer objects and `configuration-layer--used-layers` which is a list of
all _used_ layers symbols,
- symmetrically `configuration-layer--indexed-packages` which is a
hash-map of all the package objects and
`configuration-layer--used-packages` which is a list of all _used_
packages symbols.
The hash map `configuration-layer--layer-paths` is gone, now we create
directly layer objects when discovering the layers and set the :dir
property. Note that previously the layer paths were the parent directory
of the layer, now :dir is the layer path.
The function `configuration-layer//make-layer` is now similar to its
counterpart `configuration-layer//make-package` in the sense that it
takes an optional `obj` to be able to override its properties.
The functions `configuration-layer/declare-layer` and
`configuration-layer/declare-layers` now takes an optional parameter
`usedp` in order to declare used or not used layers. For convenience
new functions have been added: `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
and `configuration-layer/declare-used-layers`, users _must_ update all
occurrences of `configuration-layer/declare-layer` by
`configuration-layer/declare-used-layers` in their `layers.el` files.
`helm-spacemacs-help` and `ivy-spacemacs-help` are updated to match the
changes in `core-configuration-layer.el`.
Rename some variables to make them more explicit:
`configuration-layer-no-layer` -> `configuration-layer-exclude-all-layers`
`configuration-layer-distribution` -> `configuration-layer-force-distribution`
Random banner choice was broken by the presence of the `img` directory.
Even if `random` was set instead of `random*` in .spacemacs file the
cate banner would still show.
This commit fixes this bug while simplifying the existing code by adding
a regexp filter to only choose "*.txt" files.
With this new variable, user can load spacemacs anywhere, e.g.
"~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/". Only user's cache directory is still hard-coded
as "~/.emacs.d/.cache/". If user want to use spacemacs this way, drop
one line as the below in "~/.emacs.d/init.el":
(setq spacemacs-start-directory "~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/")
(load-file (concat spacemacs-start-directory "init.el"))
If emacs is launched with -q option and spacemacs files are loaded via
--eval option, then spacemacs fails due to depending `after-init-time'
variable being set properly which is done only when emacs is launched
without -q. This patch is to remove this dependence so that spacemacs
launched with -q can still work. This is done by introducing
`spacemacs-initialized' variable which is set properly regardless of
which command line options are present or absent.
Motivation
While disabling Evil in holy-mode makes its implementation shorter and
sounds elegant on the paper, in practice it puts a big burden on the
configuration parts which need to know if Evil is enable or not. This is
a bad separation of concerns and the bunch of fixes that we were forced
to do in the past weeks shows this issue. Those fixes were about
removing the knowledge of the activation of Evil by implementing new
dispatching functions to be used by layers, this is cumbersome and makes
Spacemacs layer configuration more subtle which is not good. There was
additional bad consequences of the removal of Evil state like the
impossibility to use Evil lisp state or iedit states, or we would have
been forced to implement a temporary activation of Evil which is
awkward.
Instead I reintroduce Evil as the central piece of Spacemacs design thus
Evil is now re-enabled in holy-mode. It provides the abstraction we need
to isolate editing styles and be able to grow the Spacemacs
configuration coverage sanely. Layers don't need to check whether the
holy mode is active or not and they don't need to know if Evil is
available (it is always available). We also don't need to write
additional dispatching functions, this is the job of Evil, and I think
it provides everything for this. Ideally configuration layer should be
implemented with only Evil in mind and the holy-mode (and hybrid-mode)
should magically make it work for Emacs style users, for instance we can
freely use `evil-insert-state` anywhere in the code without any guard.
Evil is now even more part of Spacemacs, we can really say that
Spacemacs is Emacs+Evil which is now an indivisible pair. Spacemacs
needed this stable API to continue on the right track.
While these changes should be rather transparent to the user, I'm sorry
for this experimental period, I failed to see all the implications of
such a change, I was just excited about the possibility to make Evil
optional. The reality is that Spacemacs has to embrace it and keep its
strong position on being Emacs+Evil at the core.
Implementation
- insert, motion and normal states are forced to emacs state using an
advice on `evil-insert-state`, `evil-motion-state` and
`evil-normal-state` respectively. These functions can be used freely in
the layer configuration.
- A new general hook `spacemacs-editing-style-hook` allow to hook any
code that need to be configured based on the editing style. Functions
hooked to this hook takes the current style as parameter, this
basically generalize the hook used to setup hjkl navigation bindings.
- ESC has been removed from the emacs state map.
- Revert unneeded changes
- Revert "evil: enter insert-state only from normal-state"
commit bdd702dfbe.
- Revert "avoid being evil in deft with emacs editing style"
commit f3a16f49ed.
Additional changes
All editing style packages have been moved to a layer called
`spacemacs-editing-styles`
Notes
I did not have time to attack hybrid mode, I should be able to do it
later.
In *spacemacs* buffer, the quick help in `[?]` shows that `m` jumps to
the menu. However, if one customizes the startup lists by setting
`dotspacemacs-startup-lists '(recents bookmarks projects)`, the shortcut
`m` of jumping to the menu would be shadowed and `m` jumps to Bookmarks.
With the help of travisbhartwell and TheBB, I changed the shortcut of
jumping to the Bookmarks to `a` to avoid this shortcut conflict.
1. Don't use beginning-of-buffer (or end):
These are for interactive use only according to compiler
2. reduce => cl-reduce
3. next-line => forward-line
next-line is only for interactive use
4. set-default-font => set-frame-font
set-default-font is obsolete since 23.1
5. show-subtree => outline-show-subtree (alias)
6. show-all => outline-show-all (alias)
evil-set-initial-state is safer than manually adding and deleting from
the lists, because it knows about all available states and ensures that
the mode only shows up in one list. If it is in multiple list the
initial state depends on which is checked first, which we don't want.
