spacemacs/alternate-window was suggested to switch between the last selected
window, or the window-analog of SPC TAB (spacemacs/alternate-buffer). This is
part of a larger family of functions, such as spacemacs/jump-to-last-layout on
SPC l TAB and eyebrowse-last-window-config on SPC l w TAB.
Resolves#7845
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
The current default color is "black", which creates ugly bars for many
themes on both sides of the centered buffer. This change sets the fringe
color to the buffer's background color, which blends in nicely.
Changes to rotate-windows:
- rename to spacemacs/rotate-windows-forward
- direction of rotation matches window numbers
- COUNT argument now rotates all windows by COUNT steps
- all window parameters are saved, not only buffer and window-start
swap-windows is not used for now, but could be helpful in the future.
from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyingWholeLines
Duplicate current line, or region if active.
With argument N, make N copies.
With negative N, comment out original line and use the absolute value.
keybinding: `SPC x l d` (text - line - duplicate)
Toggling the time is a segment so it is more consistent with the rest
of the lowercase keys.
Toggling the whole mode-line feels better on a capital letter.
When Spacemacs is run as a macOS homebrew service, the window-system
at startup time is not set. This causes the very-early
call to exec-path-from-shell, which was checking for macOS via
window-system, to fail the check. This is pretty much game over
for macOS and user-customized paths, as the exec paths are not
updated and any extra user-path utilities (e.g. aspell, gls) won't
be found.
This change switches over to using spacemacs/system-is-mac and
spacemacs/system-is-linux as the primary check, and keeps the
window-system check for 'x in case other Unix variants
are getting exec-path set via that check.
Fixes#5738
* Pointed out which keys are using as in Evil
* Pointed out the binding order pattern
* Added that the g binding will be directly bound to C-G
Update README.org and add spacemacs-purpose layer to spacemacs
distribution.
Move functions of the layer to funcs.el and prefix variables and
functions introduced by the layer with `spacemacs`.
- 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 :-)
I have the impression that SPC p G can be used for something more
useful regarding tags.
Tags regeneration triggers a process that can take a while to make
more sense to make it less accessible.
If there is nothing useful to be added to SPC p G we can consider
reverting this commit.
SPC p o was for projectile-multi-occur which is not really useful given
the alternative provided by Spacemacs
If this binding is really important we can consider adding it back
on SPC p O or find another way to integrate multi-occur in Spacemacs.
SPC j F and SPC j V don't fit the SPC j prefix because they require
the thing under point to be an Emacs lisp thing, which means that these
bindings should be major mode specific.
To replace them and accordingly to the convention the key bindings
SPC m g G in Emacs Lisp buffers has been added to go to definition
in other window.
SPC j f and SPC j v (minus letters) don't require the current buffer
to be Emacs Lisp and thus I only updated the documentation about them
mentioning that they're about Emacs Lisp variables and functions.
This commit defines:
- spacemacs-default-jump-handlers: a list of functions that can jump to
definition in ALL modes.
- spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE: a list of functions that can jump to
definition in MODE.
- spacemacs-jump-handlers: a buffer-local list of functions that can
jump to definition. This is made up of the values of the two previous
variables whenever a given major mode is activated.
- spacemacs/jump-to-definition: a function that tries each function in
spacemacs-jump-handlers in order, and stops when one of them takes us
somewhere new.
- spacemacs|define-jump-handlers: a macro that
* defines spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE, possibly filled with initial
functions
* defines a function that is added to the hook of the given MODE
* binds “SPC m g g” of that MODE to spacemacs/jump-to-definition
This is an attempt to harmonize all the different approaches to jumping.
Specifically,
- Existing intelligent jump packages that work for only a single mode
should go to the beginning of spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE. E.g.
anaconda for python, ensime for scala, etc.
- Packages like gtags that work for several modes (but potentially not
all) and which is dumber than the intelligent jumpers should go the
the END of spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE.
- Packages like dumb-jump that work for all modes should go to
spacemacs-default-jump-handlers.
In all cases the order of the jump handlers in each list should be from
most to least intelligent.

Changes to the comment in the `spacemacs/rotate-windows` function
Sentences reordered:
From:
Default behavior.
Additional behavior. Prefix argument behavior.
To:
Default behavior,
Prefix argument behavior,
Additional behavior.
Spelling:
First sentence:
"your" replaced with "each",
"forwards" added to the end.
Second sentence (after reordering the last two sentences):
"Giving" removed,
"takes" replaced with "rotates",
"kindows" corrected to "windows",
"rotate" (next to last word) removed
(Optional) Third sentence (after reordering):
"(locked)" added after "Dedicated", it might clarify that a dedicated window means that it is locked.
After these changes:
Before:
"Rotate your windows.
Dedicated windows are left untouched. Giving a negative prefix
argument takes the kindows rotate backwards."
After:
"Rotate each window forwards.
A negative prefix argument rotates each window backwards.
Dedicated (locked) windows are left untouched."
The comment in the function: `spacemacs/rotate-windows-backward`
"your" replaced with "each",
"s" added to "backward",
added the same additional behavior comment as in the "main" rotation function,
"Dedicated (locked) windows are left untouched."
Before:
"Rotate your windows backward."
After:
"Rotate each window backwards.
Dedicated (locked) windows are left untouched."
See end of this message for important breaking changes.
Previous behavior was to configure any installed package which caused
a lot of bad side effects and could make spacemacs unusable. This
behavior made little sense and does not fit with spacemacs.
This commit fixes this behavior by separating installed packages from
configured packages. In short dostspacemacs-download-packages variable
now only affect package installation. Packages are now configured if and
only if they are effectively *used* (i.e. listed in variable
dotspacemacs-configuration-layers or dotspacemacs-additional-packages).
IMPORTANT CHANGE: functions `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer` and
`configuration-layer/declare-used-layers` have been removed. These
functions have been introduced in develop branch only so the impact
should be minimal.
New interactive function
`spacsmacs/open-file-or-directory-in-external-app`, depending on the
value of prefix argument, it opens the current file or directory in
external app.
Misspellings:
"beginnign" changed to "beginning",
"Insert one of several lines" changed to "Insert one or several lines" in two functions,
"identation" changed to "indentation",
Missing comment copied from the function that inserts a line
in the opposite direction:
(defun spacemacs/insert-line-below-no-indent (count)
"Insert a new line below with no indentation."
and renamed the direction, resulting in:
"Insert a new line above with no indentation."
Duplicate comments removed, the comments inside the functions,
are better explanations of what the function does.
Functions reordered:
The functions:
(defun spacemacs/evil-insert-line-below (count)
and
(defun spacemacs/evil-insert-line-above (count)
were written in a illogical order,
the "above" function should be written before the "below" function,
with this change, the function order will match other functions
with "above" and "below" in their names,
for example these:
(defun spacemacs/insert-line-above-no-indent (count)
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/%2Bdistributions/spacemacs-base/funcs.el#L535
(defun spacemacs/insert-line-below-no-indent (count)
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/%2Bdistributions/spacemacs-base/funcs.el#L549
evil-commands.el
line 2205: (defun evil-open-above (count)
line 2219: (defun evil-open-below (count)
line 2310: (defun evil-copy-from-above (arg)
line 2326: (defun evil-copy-from-below (arg)

line 1901: (defun evil-insert-newline-below ()
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`
Prevent next-buffer, other-buffer, etc. from choosing useless buffers.
No need for spacemacs/next-useful-buffer,
spacemacs/previous-useful-buffer anymore.
Also fix spacemacs/alternate-buffer to respect buffer-predicate.
When spacemacs-layouts is used, buffer-predicate filters useful buffer
that belong to the current layout.
Previously,
* typing `gf` in domain names (for example google.com) in normal buffers
* typing `<tab>` in domain names in the minibuffer
would start pinging that domain name. This is not really useful, so
disable it.
Fixes#2654.
It is better to directly hook function using the conventional hook
functions.
Replace usage of (concat ...) by a (format ...) from which is more
readable.
The motivation is to clean redundent actions and bring more consistency
between `SPC b` and `SPC w` by:
- using capital letters for ace-window actions
- reusing the same letters between window and buffer when possible
- adding support for universal prefix argument to delete both window
and buffer
Details of changes:
Buffer
- `SPC b k` has been removed since the functionality is
available directly in Helm by selecting the kill buffer action
- `SPC b m` (buffer move) has been removed because the functionality
is available via `SPC w` with `SPC w h/j/k/l`, `SPC w H/J/K/L` and
`SPC w M` (see window section for the new `SPC w M`).
- `SPC b K` (kill other buffers) is now `SPC b m` to map with `SPC w m`
(kill other window or maximize). Using the universal prefix argument
`SPC u SPC b m` will also kill the windows.
- `SPC b C-k` (kill buffer matching regexp) is now simply on `SPC b k`.
- `SPC b D` now kills a buffer using ace-window.
- `SPC b d` and `SPC b D` now accept an universal prefix argument to
also delete the window. So `SPC u SPC b d` and `SPC u SPC b D` delete
the buffer and the window.
Window
- `SPC w M` now swap the window using ace-window.
- old `SPC w M` (center window) is now on `SPC w c` and `SPC w C` uses
ace-window.
- `SPC w SPC` (select window) is now on `SPC w W` since it uses
ace-window.
- `SPC w d` and `SPC w D` now accepts an universal prefix argument to
delete the window and the buffer.
Helm-flx, which is included as a core package, requires a minimum Emacs
version of 24.4. As it stands attempting to install Spacemacs on Emacs
24.3 or below will break on helm-flx.
This works with systems defined by the error delegate function (and it
shows which system is used, and which buffer supplies the “errors”).
When the Emacs next-error system is used and the next-error buffer is a
Spacemacs GNE buffer, it also shows current number / total number.
Implement a delegate function that decides which system to use. Also
check for the visibility of any next-error valid buffer, not just
compilation buffers.
