evil-mc is a new attempt to bring multiple cursors to evil users.
Enable it by adding `(global-evil-mc-mode)` then use
g r m to mark all
g r u to remove cursors
g r p to pause cursors
g r r to resume
g r h to add a cursor at point (cursors must be paused first)

Emacs provides a `count-words-region' which is badly named as it counts
not only words, but also characters and lines. The current keybinding
for this function `SPC x w c' implies it's referring to words only. The
new mapping `SPC x c` is more coherent since it means counting text,
whether it is characters, words or lines. An alias `count-region` is
created to be less confusing in which-key description.
`SPC x w c` being free, `spacemacs/count-words-analysis` is remapped to
it instead of `SPC x w C` to save one keystroke.
The `spacemacs/count-words-analysis' function displays results with the
default elisp formatting of associative list. This change improves it by
changing the format to a more human-readable form, and also by ordering
results by frequencies first, and then alphabetically in case of tie.
The function `spacemacs/avy-open-url` allows to easily select an URL on
the screen with `avy` and open it. The function is bind to `SPC x o`,
`x` as it is text-related and `o` for open.
Add the `FAQ.org` file as a source in helm-spacemacs (`SPC f e h`).
Define a new keybinding for looking directly inside the FAQ with helm:
`SPC f e f`.
With help from TheBB, thanks!
The `SPC p t` keybinding opens the neotree at the project root.
Currently the neotree only shows the root of the project, nothing is
expanded and no file is focused/selected. With this modification, the
neotree is still showing the project root, but with the current file
being focused/selected in the hierarchy (its path being expanded).

Import TheBB configuration into Spacemacs and add `C-S-h` to replace
redefined `C-h` binidng.
Also remove the go up a directory behavior on backspace, now backspace
is a regular backspace.
Put the toggles on SPC t E with
SPC t E h -> holy-mode
SPC t E y -> hybrid-mode
Make the mode-line diminished lighter consistent with the key bindings,
so holy is Ⓔh and hybrid is Ⓔy
Add seamless switch between holy and hybrid.
This is how evil-leader gets `SPC m` to work for mode specific bindings,
and we need to mirror this step for `M-m`. This is big change, but in
order for `M-m` to work properly we need to remap it to the mode-map
whenever possible.
Use same hook as evil-leader for major-mode-leader. This fixes an
inconsistency that could arise between the leader key being bound but
the major-mode leader key not being bound (See for example #3000). By
using the same hook as evil-leader-mode, we ensure that either both keys
or bound or neither.
A minor problem that was fixed was `mode-map` and `major-mode-map` were
not let bound and had global scope.
Using setf is better than using the previous advice, because it was
ignoring the arguments passed to evil-insert-state and the arguments
control whether the state message displays in the minibuffer. In this
version we just switch out the function definition for
evil-insert-state, and all arguments are handled perfectly.
spacemacs-core: Don't defer hybrid-mode
hybrid-mode is now extremely lightweight, and deferring it causes
problems if someone wants to bind keys in hybrid-mode but doesn't have
it selected as their editing style on startup. The reason is the
hybrid-mode keymap will not be available and an error will be thrown.
This requires using eval-after-load in this case, and this seems overly
complicated just to avoid loading this file.
Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in
the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This
change fixes#2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special
meaning in a helm pattern.
Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as
representing "more layers here".
