Since we have now a variable for the mode-line theme, it makes sense to move
the scaling of the mode-line to this variable. Thus the property
=:powerline-scale= of variable dotspacemacs-default-font has been removed and
it is replace by the property =:separator-scale= used in the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme=.
This commit also adds a the property =:sperator= for the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme= which allows to set the separator type.
Example of the final result:
dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme '(all-the-icons
:separator cup
:separator-scale 1.5)
Documentation has been updated to reflect the changes.
New layer variable `dotspacemacs-mode-line-themes`:
Set the theme for the Spaceline. Supported themes are `spacemacs',
`all-the-icons', `custom', `vim-powerline' and `vanilla'. The first three
are spaceline themes. `vanilla' is default Emacs mode-line. `custom' is a
user defined themes, refer to the DOCUMENTATION.org for more info on how
to create your own spaceline theme."
See DOCUMENTATION.org changes for more info.
This commit adds support for `spaceline-all-the-icons` package.
Escape left and right bracket character literals to avoid the following
warning:
Loading ‘core-dotspacemacs’: unescaped character literals `?[', `?]' detected!
If non-nil then Spacelpa repository is the primary source to install
a locked version of packages. If nil then Spacemacs will install the lastest
version of packages from MELPA. (default nil)
The default value will be true when we bust all the major bugs.
New dotfile variable dotspacemacs-verify-spacelpa-archives
Default value is nil for now, users wanting to help testing this feature can
set it to t and delete the directory ~/.emacs.d/.cache/stable-elpa and restart
Emacs to download the Spacelpa archive and verify it.
Update function configuration-layer/stable-elpa-download-tarball to download
signature files as well.
Update function configuration-layer//stable-elpa-untar-archive to verify the
downloaded archive using epg library.
Example of signature files can be found here:
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa/releases/tag/v0.300
Set it to emacs-version as it is the saner defaults here. When updating the
version of emacs, packages should be byte-recompiled. Thus this is safer to
isolate each package by emacs-version.
The default value is now at the distribution level. The user must put the ivy
layer explicitly in the dotfile.
This to be consistent with filetree package which is neotree by default in
the standard spacemacs distribution.
I'm afraid that we add too much wizard questions as the helm/ivy case will
happen more and more in the future. Neotree and Treemacs are the first layers
to follow the Helm and Ivy pattern. I don't want to add a fourth question to
the wizard which makes it heavy and is not as useful for new users.
Add `(default X)` comment to almost all dotspacemacs variables in
dotspacemacs/init function in the template. Exempted are variables with long
default values. (e.g. dotspacemacs-themes)
Remove `(default X)` from doctsring of dotspacemacs variables. It isn't
necessary, the built-in help system already displays the default value
automatically.
Fix some minor grammar and spelling mistakes.
"micro-state" was the previous name for "transient-state".
Reword the sentence and quote the kill-ring variable.
Duplicate the docstring to the dotspacemacs-enable-paste-transient-state
variables docstring in core-dotspacemacs.el.
Replace the optional argument `no-install` by a global variable named
`spacemacs-sync-packages`.
Rename the hooks to reflect the renaming of the function.
Rename the flag `--no-sync` to the more explicit `--no-package-sync`
This replaces the older pattern
:toggle (configuration-layer/package-usedp ..)
This implementation ensures that :disabled-for honors dependent packages, i.e.
if package a depends on package b, which is owned by layer c, and layer c is
disabled for layer d, then neither package a nor b will be configured for layer
d. Previously, this was only true for package a, but not b.
This commit also fixes:
- configuration-layer/describe-package now shows which post-init and pre-init
functions are disabled, if any
- Does not recreate all layer objects unconditionally when calling
configuration-layer/discover-layers. Previously, this led to all layers being
recreated after e.g. `SPC h SPC`, without any of the dotfile information.
Since this information is now necessary for
configuration-layer/describe-package, it’s important that we don’t clear the
indexed layers when invoking this function.
A recent change in the `.spacemacs.template` made it so that the
`dotspacemacs-configuration-layers` variable name can be found inside a
comment right before the expression that sets it's value. This makes the
lazy insertion fail to detect the proper place to add lazy loaded
layers.
This fix solves the immediate problem but maybe a better solution can
be found.
If dotspacemacs-auto-generate-layout-names is non-nil, and the user
tries to open a layout in a position that doesn't yet have a layout,
then create a new layout with an automatically generated name.
It is now possible to use package properties like :location in
dotspacemacs-themes.
Added hooks ran at the beginning and end of configuration-layer/sync:
- configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook
- configuration-layer-post-sync-hook
configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook is used to hook the new function
spacemacs//add-theme-packages-to-additional-packages. This new function updates
dotspacemacs--additional-theme-packages variables.
Update documentation to mention the new feature.
Add all theme packages defined in dotspacemacs-themes to the variable
dotspacemacs-additional-packages and delay the application of user theme at the
end of startup (only when user theme cannot be applied at the very beginning
of Emacs startup).
This has nice properties:
- we leverage the layer system to handle the theme packages installation and
cleanup.
- theme packages are automatically owned by the dotfile preventing them from
being garbage collected.
- the protected package mechanism is now obsolete since themes were the last
packages using it. This mechanism may be removed in a near future.
Thanks to TheBB for the initial idea.
New function `dotspacmacs/emacs-custom-settings` wrapping Emacs
custom settings sexps.
`dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings` is called just after the user
configuration (`dotspacemacs/user-config`)
Customize cannot write its auto-generated sexps inside a function, to
accomplish this we trick Emacs by setting the custom file to a file
in `.cache` directory, the path to this file is defined by the variable
`spacemacs--custom-file`. At the startup of Emacs we read this file
to insert its content inside the function
`dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings` in the dotfile, this is done in the
function `spacemacs/write-custom-settings-to-dotfile`.
I don't think we need to write the custom settings to the dotfile when
exiting Emacs as well, since we do it at startup at the very beginning
(i.e. before actually loading the dotfile) we should be OK.
Fixes#5170
With a nil value for dotspacemacs-switch-to-buffer-prefers-purpose,
switch-to-buffer prefers using the current window, same as vanilla
Emacs. With a non-nil value, switch-to-buffer prefers another window
with the same purpose as the buffer. This affects actions like
spacemacs/alternate-buffer, and opening buffers from Dired.
