By default Ivy uses `find-file` which uses Emacs `abort-if-file-too-large`
function to check/warn before opening large files. That function however does
not take into account Spacemacs its `spacemacs-large-file-modes-list`. Instead
ivy should use `find-file-noselect` to skip Emacs it large file warning and let
it to Spacemacs its `spacemacs/check-large-file` function. Additionally [Emacs

recommends to use 3 semicolons for comments that function as headings.
Helm already has spacemacs/resume-last-search-buffer bound to it and is in my
muscle memory. spacemacs/resume-last-search-buffer doesn't work with ivy, so
just use ivy-resume.
Spacemacs uses spacemacs/swiper functions that use the less sophisticated
spacemacs//counsel-current-region-or-symbol instead of ivy's native
ivy-thing-at-point function. This commit removes those spacemacs functions and
rebinds the shortcuts to their better native equivalents.
The cl package has been deprecated.
It had aliases for cl- prefixed commands without the cl- prefix.
Ex: letf or letf* instead of cl-letf or cl-letf*
On the `spacemacs-base` distribution, with the `ivy` layer.
When one tries to search with `SPC /`
(which calls `spacemacs/counsel-search`)
Then this error message is shown:
>spacemacs/counsel-search: Symbol’s function definition is void: letf*
It doesn't happen with the `helm` layer,
because it's search commands already has the `cl-` prefix.
There are also three instances of: `letf`
in the `spacemacs-editing-visual` layers functions:
- `spacemacs/toggle-centered-buffer` (`SPC w c c`)
- `spacemacs/toggle-distraction-free` (`SPC w c C`)
- `spacemacs/centered-buffer-transient-state` (`SPC w c .`)
Without the `cl-` prefix they show the error message:
>Symbol’s function definition is void: letf
and `SPC s B`
When one invokes `spacemacs/swiper-region-or-symbol` (`SPC s S`) or
`spacemacs/swiper-all-region-or-symbol` (`SPC s B`) with active visual selection
(transient-mark-mode), the selection expands over the buffer while one jumps
around with swiper. Thus I believe it is appropriate to deactivate visual
selection within the above command.
Since the mentioned commands both use identical code for getting the text to
operate on, I moved that code into a separate function.
`man` command displays output from the external program with the same name,
so it will generally fail to work on Windows.
`woman` is a pure elisp parser for manpages, so it will work on Windows. But
`woman` lacks colorizing of manpages, so we only use it as a fallback.
Helm:
SPC C l calls helm-colors
SPC h d F calls spacemacs/helm-faces
Ivy:
SPC C e calls counsel-colors-emacs
SPC C f calls counsel-colors-faces
SPC C w calls counsel-colors-web
SPC h d F calls counsel-describe-face
Thanks Miciah for the SPC h d F suggestion.
The commit 9c613b8 introduced a regression for ivy users that use ag or rg as
the search tool. It made `C-c C-e` and `F3` keybindings unavailable, and thus
making it impossible to make multi-file edits.
Partially fixes#12838
Use =counsel-ag= and =counsel-rg= when possible. They have more
optimizations, such as switching directory, the ability to turn
on and off casefold, etc. Counsel will also carry future
improvement with these two functions, and spacemacs will
automatically benefit from it.
It has already been bound to <kbd>C-backspace</kbd> and
<kbd>C-delete</kbd>. Such an
additional binding is redundant (if hjkl navigation is not used) and
makes the original <kbd>C-h</kbd> binding
(help) unavailable.
counsel-git find a file in the current git repository. "gff" is
currently bound to magit-find-file. While counsel-git seemingly performs the
same functionality as magit-find-file, they are substantially different:
magit-find-file is not intended to find a file, contrary to what the
name indicates. See https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/3967 for
explanation. This is why we need another key binding for counsel-git.
counsel-more-chars was renamed to ivy-more-chars a year ago:
Move counsel-more-chars-alist and counsel-more-chars to ivy.el.
4461ef302a
with an alias to counsel-more-chars.
The alias was removed 2 days ago:
ivy.el: Clean up obsolete aliases
1a9002bf4b
It applies to the editing styles:
- hybrid with the variable hybrid-style-enable-hjkl-bindings set to t
- vim
Moved the default key binding for ivy-switch-buffer-kill:
From: C-k
To: C-M-k
Thanks for the suggestion: asok
Delete the hook that commit 9fcf8c898d added
to persp-created-functions, and change spacemacs/ivy-spacemacs-layouts,
spacemacs/helm-perspectives, spacemacs/helm-persp-switch-project, and
spacemacs/ivy-persp-switch-project to achieve the intended goal of adding
the desired buffers after creating a new perspective.
Change spacemacs/helm-persp-switch-project and
spacemacs/ivy-persp-switch-project as follows: If the user selects a
project but then quits without selecting a file or buffer, the new
perspective is now immediately killed. Otherwise, if the perspective did
not already exist, any buffers that belong to the selected project are
added to the perspective.
Add the following actions to spacemacs/ivy-spacemacs-layouts and
spacemacs/helm-perspectives:
* Create a new perspective with the Spacemacs home buffer (default action).
* Create a new perspective with the buffers that belong to the current
buffer's project.
* Create a new perspective with the buffers that belong to the current
perspective (i.e., make a copy of the current perspective).
This commit resolves the problem reported in
9fcf8c898d (commitcomment-33343455).
This commit also fixes a problem with the default action for
spacemacs/ivy-spacemacs-layouts and spacemacs/helm-perspectives. According to
commit 7b931a9f5b, the default action is supposed
to display the home buffer if the action creates a new perspective, which was
determined by checking whether the perspective was missing from the list of
perspectives _before_ switching. However, commit
eb7ca651fe changed this logic so it was checking
whether the perspective was missing from the list of perspectives _after_
switching. This commit restores the correct logic.
* CHANGELOG.develop: Update.
* layers/+completion/ivy/funcs.el (spacemacs/ivy-spacemacs-layouts): Add
"Copy Current Layout" and "Create Project Layout" actions to the docstring.
Use spacemacs//create-persp-with-home-buffer for the default action.
* layers/+completion/ivy/packages.el (ivy/post-init-persp-mode): Add
actions for spacemacs//create-persp-with-current-project-buffers and
persp-copy.
* layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-layouts/funcs.el
(spacemacs||switch-layout): New macro. Switch to the named perspective,
and initialize it using the provided forms if the perspective is new.
(spacemacs//create-persp-with-current-project-buffers): New function.
Create a new perspective with the current project's buffers.
(spacemacs||switch-project-persp): New macro. Switch to the named
perspective, and evaluate the provided forms with
projectile-after-switch-project-hook bound with a hook that adds the
current project's buffers to the perspective. If the user quits during the
evaluation of the forms, kill the perspective.
(spacemacs//create-persp-with-home-buffer): New function. Switch to the
named perspective, and go to the Spacemacs home buffer if the perspective
is new.
(spacemacs/helm-perspectives): Use spacemacs//create-persp-with-home-buffer
for the default action. Add actions for
spacemacs//create-persp-with-current-project-buffers and persp-copy.
(spacemacs//helm-persp-switch-project-action): New function. Switch to the
named perspective and call projectile-switch-project-by-name, using the new
spacemacs||switch-project-persp macro. Bind helm-quit-hook with a hook
that kills the new perspective if the user quits
projectile-switch-project-by-name.
(spacemacs/helm-persp-switch-project): Use
spacemacs//helm-persp-switch-project-action.
(spacemacs//ivy-persp-switch-project-action): New function. Switch to the
named perspective and call counsel-projectile-switch-project-action with a
hook to add the project's buffers to the new perspective.
(spacemacs/ivy-persp-switch-project): Delete advice for
counsel-projectile-switch-project-action. Use
spacemacs//ivy-persp-switch-project-action instead.
(spacemacs//add-project-buffers-to-persp): Deleted.

(spacemacs-layouts/init-persp-mode): Don't add a hook to
