The [quick-start](https://www.spacemacs.org/doc/QUICK_START.html) starts with
explaining that users can build their own layers. Instead it should start by
showing how easy and straightforward it is to use one of the existing layer,
then continue about the possibility of creating personal layers (the
quick-start guide is a logical place to visit first for a newcomer). It is only
a small detail, but it can make a substantial difference for people who peek
into the quick-start guide and decide if it is worth the trouble to switch to
Spacemacs (Many newcomers think that even only trying another editor, is
probably not worth it because they are already using vim).
A guide that starts explaininging that you can build your own layers in
Spacemacs that exists of a directory containing at a packages.el file, is not a
quick-start guide.
- Add `dumb-jump-xref-activate` hook to `xref-backend-functions`, which
add a fallback option, i.e. `dumb-jump`, when no better alternatives
is availabe
- Removed the obsolte interface `dumb-jump-go` from the following layers:
- clojure
- latex
- vue
- The global binding `SPC j q` requires the obsolte function
`dumb-jump-quick-look` and is therfore removed
When contributing to packages it is often handy to replace a package, already
installed and configured by some layer with a local version of the package (i.e.
a git repo). This commit adds instructions for how to achieve that.
Just like: https://github.com/emacsfodder/move-texthttps://github.com/rejeep/drag-stuff.el
also drags one or more (region) lines up or down.
But it also allows for dragging left and right (across end of lines):
- a word: changing place with the next or previous word.
- a region: moving it one character at a time to the left or right.
Added a new key binding: `SPC x .`
that opens the:
```
Drag Stuff Transient State
[k/K] up [h/H] left [q] quit
[j/J] down [l/L] right
```
The `move-text` package isn't removed, even though it isn't used anymore in
Spacemacs.
Because the `evil-unimpaired` elpa directory is generated from the local
Spacemacs `evil-unimpaired.el` file.
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/%2Bspacemacs/spacemacs-evil/local/evil-unimpaired/evil-unimpaired.el
Therefore the `evil-unimpaired` key bindings `[e` and `]e` still call the
`move-text` commands.
Until the `evil-unimpaired` elpa directory has been removed and regenerated by
restarting Spacemacs.
Then they will call the new `drag-stuff` commands.
I don't know if/when the `move-text` package can be removed in the future.
Sometimes it is handy to show keymaps persistently with which-key. For example,
to show navigation commands in Info-mode, gnus, eww etc. This PR implements
handy toggles and documentation for that.
Although the docs show an example, but the paragraph below seems to imply that a
package can't be fetched directly off git. Update to make it more clear that it can.
Spacemacs lacks a keybinding alternative to the most natural way of scrolling
Info pages (i.e. SPC) in vanilla emacs.
Anyway, this commit adds J/K to scroll most naturally through info pages.
Currently, in Info-mode, a keybinding for J is not defined while K is bound to
evil-lookup.
Issue #2828 already adresses the inconsistent experience, and in my opinion this
can and should be improved as navigating Info pages is a very crucial part of
using Emacs.
Personally I have bound J/K to scroll page up/down in buffers/pdf/djvu/doc-view,
which I inherited from using the zathura pdf reader, and I think this is a better
default than the default vim alternatives.
Searching for information about configuration layers is confusing because both
the overview and development info pages have the same title (try it with
google). Specifying those info pages title names and adding cross links makes
the docs friendlier.
Pull request #10297 made the Emacs server optional, so that it does
not start up unless the init file is modified to enable it. The
documentation, however, indicates that the opposite is true. This
fix updates the documentation to be consistent with the actual
behavior.
