Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.
address: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa
ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.
Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.
BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.
I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:
(setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
This make `SPC h SPC` as default binding for accessing `helm-spacemacs`,
by either A) changing all the documentation; and B) adding a deprecation
message for `SPC f e h`.
The deprecation use a warning, because if a message is used it's hidden
directly when the helm buffer is shown, making it nearly unnoticeable
for the user.
In *spacemacs* buffer, the quick help in `[?]` shows that `m` jumps to
the menu. However, if one customizes the startup lists by setting
`dotspacemacs-startup-lists '(recents bookmarks projects)`, the shortcut
`m` of jumping to the menu would be shadowed and `m` jumps to Bookmarks.
With the help of travisbhartwell and TheBB, I changed the shortcut of
jumping to the Bookmarks to `a` to avoid this shortcut conflict.
