Emacs 26 added built-in support for line numbers, relative line numbers, and
visual line numbers. Spacemacs supports only absolute and relative, but there is
no way to access the visual mode. It's hard to get around this, since Spacemacs
abstracts line numbers to a reasonably high degree.
Arguably, `visual` is much more useful than `relative` as a display type. Visual
line numbers are like relative line numbers, but only lines that are actually
showing are counted. This means:
1. Hidden lines are not counted. If a large amount of text is folded, the line
numbers won't jump from "10" to "546". This is particularly useful in
buffers like `magit-status`, where a large amount of information is folded
by default.
2. Lines that are wrapped are counted as multiple lines, since they're being
displayed as multiple lines in the editor. Each visual line will be
numbered - unlike `relative`, where the entire thing is numbered... Once.
With standard relative line numbers, you can't actually navigate using the line
numbers in the sidebar as soon as folded or wrapped lines are introduced. Since
this is one of the main use cases for relative line numbers, this is a big
problem.
Visual mode fixes that problem. Every line that's being displayed is labelled.
Numbers always correspond to the actual number of lines you'd need to navigate
to reach that line.
This commit extends Spacemacs' line number interface to provide visual line
number support.
Fixed the minibuffer showing: `nil`
when `select-enable-clipboard` is `nil` and the current files
path/dir/file/line/column/etc. is copied with the keys under
the prefix: `SPC f y`
New var: dotspacemacs-new-empty-buffer-major-mode
Set to a symbol naming a mode (e.g. 'text-mode) to apply that major mode to any
buffers newly created in Spacemacs by spacemacs/new-empty-buffer.
Fixes#12382.
problems:
the delete file prompt doesn't show which file it's about to delete,
and when the deletion request is canceled, then the question remains in the
minibuffer (the text disappears when an action updates the minibuffer, like
moving the cursor, but it might be confusing to still be seeing the question
after it's been answered)
solution:
show the file name in the delete file prompt, and show a canceled message
1. Fix `short-name` for directories. Previously it was empty string.
2. Remove redundant check for existing buffer:
1. `(get-buffer new-name)` always return `nil`, because `new-name` is a path
to file, not a file name.
2. `(find-file new-name)` handles this situation.
3. `dired-rename-file` handles this situation as well.
3. Use `dired-rename-file` to do the dirty stuff.
1. Renames files and directories.
2. All associated buffers are updated. If you rename a directory, all buffers
that were visiting files from that directory now visit files from new
directory.
4. Properly handle recentf list update for directories - all files from the
renamed directory are removed from recentf list and the same files but from
new directory are added back.
problem:
`'face 'minibuffer-prompt` and `new-name` are shown with an orange color,
and `describe-char` shows that they have the face: `font-lock-warning-face`
solution:
adding a newline before them removes the orange warning color
Before this commit, Spacemacs assigned an anonymous function to the
compilation-finish-function variable. This variable was deprecated
in Emacs 22.1 and removed in Emacs 27.1 in favor of the
compilation-finish-functions hook. Consequently, the assignment has
no practical effect in Emacs 27.1.
Although we could add the Spacemacs function to the new
compilation-finish-functions hook, the function serves little purpose; it
prints a generic message when compilation succeeds:
compilation ok.
and it prints the key binding for spacemacs/next-error when compilation
fails:
There were errors. Use SPC e n to visit.
However Emacs already prints messages to indicate success or failure,
respectively:
Compilation finished
or (for example)
Compilation exited abnormally with code 1
Because the Spacemacs function prints its "There were errors" message
immediately after Emacs prints its "Compilation exited abnormally" message,
the latter was obscured. Because the exit code in Emacs's message could be
useful and the added value of the Spacemacs function's message is minimal,
we can simply delete the Spacemacs function.

(compilation-finish-function): Delete the assignment and anonymous
function.
Define an alias and use it internally so that (1) the name of the command will
be better to understand what it does than the original name and (2) Helm or Ivy
interface is invoked instead of Ido.
These are suggested in PR #11115.
Add aliases for commands that ido-mode remaps that we want to bind to
Spacemacs keys, and use these aliases in the Spacemacs key bindings so that
these bindings invoke the original commands rather than the ido commands.
See <https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/10237#issuecomment-359861570>.
When :enabled-for-modes is nil we default it to '(prog-mode text-mode), but if
any of them is in :disabled-for-modes then it shouldn't be enabled by default.
This commit fixes the second part.
Emacs 26.1 will introduce a new native line numbers feature:
"display-line-numbers". It includes relative line numbers, is faster than
current linum-mode, and doesn't use the margin area (it has its own area). So
yeah, we want to use the new feature when possible.
No changes are required on the user side, except for Emacs 26 users are
recommended to remove nlinum layer from their configuration (if they have
enabled it).
With this change:
- Emacs 26:
- uses display-line-numbers by default.
- linum and linum-relative packages are excluded.
- Emacs 25:
- does NOT use display-line-numbers.
- continues to use linum and linum-relative.
- nlinum layer:
- can still be used as before in Emacs 25.
- is NOT recommended in Emacs 26, but can be used.
- when enabled, excludes display-line-numbers.
Also contains some bug fixes:
Fixes a bug where setting `dostpacemacs-line-numbers` to `t` or `relative`
enabled line numbers in every buffer, instead of only in buffers that derive
from prog-mode and text-mode.
Likewise fixes a bug where specifying `:enabled-for-modes nil` (or not
specifying `:enabled-for-modes` at all) in `dotspacemacs-line-numbers` settings
meant "enable in all modes" instead of "enable in modes derived from prog-mode
or text-mode".
Because of this change, also adds a way for users to enable line numbers
in *all* buffers.
Removes check for special buffer. All our current checks should be enough to
enable line numbers only where it makes sense. Disabling in all special buffers
is not necessary.

We have key bindings to create two and three column
window layers.
This commit makes available a key binding to return to
the default spacemacs window layer, the single column one.
This idea is to have the spacemacs-base distribution only configure defaults for
built-in packages. Those buit-in packages are now configured in the new layer
spacemacs-defaults.
Additionally some other packages of spacemacs-base have been dispatched to
better suiting spacemacs layers.
Projectile has been moved to the new layer spacemacs-project
- Move the following packages to bootsrap distributio layer:
- exec-path-from-shell
- evil-evilified-state
- holy-mode
- hybrid-mode
- spacemacs-theme
- ace-window has been moved to spacemacs-navigation
- centered-buffer-mode has been moved to spacemacs-editing-visual
- pcre2el has been moved to spacemacs-editing
- evil-escape and evil-visualstar have been moved to spacemacs-evil
