The mac port build supports this out of the box, but the version
installed with `brew install emacs --with-cocoa` requires this variable
to be cleared.
By convention, jump back should be on `b`, not `u`
Since `SPC j u` is free, move as well `SPC j U` to `SPC j u`.
`SPC j b` for bookmark jump is already available under `SPC f b`
To follow with the refactor of the holy-mode which uses the
emacs state of evil mode, the hybrid mode now uses the evil hybrid
state.
We have now a clean symmetry between all the editing styles where each
of them has an associated state:
- vim = insert state
- emacs = emacs state
- hybrid = hybrid state
This gives consistent properties to all editing styles and most
importantly allows to have true isolation of key binding maps. It has
the huge benefit to be easier to explain since now everything can
leverage the evil API regarding key bindings.
Note: Regular Emacs key binding functions can still be used for emacs
and hybrid states so there is no regression with the previous
implementation, we just gain better isolation at the cost of a few
duplicated lines of code which will be easy to update as needed if
evil upstream code changes (this code has been commented with a link
to the upstream code).
Motivation
While disabling Evil in holy-mode makes its implementation shorter and
sounds elegant on the paper, in practice it puts a big burden on the
configuration parts which need to know if Evil is enable or not. This is
a bad separation of concerns and the bunch of fixes that we were forced
to do in the past weeks shows this issue. Those fixes were about
removing the knowledge of the activation of Evil by implementing new
dispatching functions to be used by layers, this is cumbersome and makes
Spacemacs layer configuration more subtle which is not good. There was
additional bad consequences of the removal of Evil state like the
impossibility to use Evil lisp state or iedit states, or we would have
been forced to implement a temporary activation of Evil which is
awkward.
Instead I reintroduce Evil as the central piece of Spacemacs design thus
Evil is now re-enabled in holy-mode. It provides the abstraction we need
to isolate editing styles and be able to grow the Spacemacs
configuration coverage sanely. Layers don't need to check whether the
holy mode is active or not and they don't need to know if Evil is
available (it is always available). We also don't need to write
additional dispatching functions, this is the job of Evil, and I think
it provides everything for this. Ideally configuration layer should be
implemented with only Evil in mind and the holy-mode (and hybrid-mode)
should magically make it work for Emacs style users, for instance we can
freely use `evil-insert-state` anywhere in the code without any guard.
Evil is now even more part of Spacemacs, we can really say that
Spacemacs is Emacs+Evil which is now an indivisible pair. Spacemacs
needed this stable API to continue on the right track.
While these changes should be rather transparent to the user, I'm sorry
for this experimental period, I failed to see all the implications of
such a change, I was just excited about the possibility to make Evil
optional. The reality is that Spacemacs has to embrace it and keep its
strong position on being Emacs+Evil at the core.
Implementation
- insert, motion and normal states are forced to emacs state using an
advice on `evil-insert-state`, `evil-motion-state` and
`evil-normal-state` respectively. These functions can be used freely in
the layer configuration.
- A new general hook `spacemacs-editing-style-hook` allow to hook any
code that need to be configured based on the editing style. Functions
hooked to this hook takes the current style as parameter, this
basically generalize the hook used to setup hjkl navigation bindings.
- ESC has been removed from the emacs state map.
- Revert unneeded changes
- Revert "evil: enter insert-state only from normal-state"
commit bdd702dfbe.
- Revert "avoid being evil in deft with emacs editing style"
commit f3a16f49ed.
Additional changes
All editing style packages have been moved to a layer called
`spacemacs-editing-styles`
Notes
I did not have time to attack hybrid mode, I should be able to do it
later.
This keeps the keybinding specific to the visual-line minor mode, and
fixes#5418. Reverting the bindings on the :off toggle is no longer
necessary as well, turning off visual-line-mode will handle it.
While seemingly equivalent, this binding change can cause brittle
behavior in at least one case (used in conjunction with
multiple-cursors). Such a highly niche customization would probably be
better in a personal config, unless a case can be made that all
spacemacs users would benefit.
It's not possible to get full backtraces in these instances when an
error is signaled, and I think we should generate full backtraces when
debug-on-error is enabled as a general rule.
I had to make this change at one place to track down the root of problem
2 in #5200.
1. The register name should be a character not a symbol.
2. Combine toggle-maximize-centered-buffer and bzg-big-fringe-mode to
make new minor mode that combines the two effects.
3. Fix problem where the mode could only be enabled if there was more
than one window, which makes no sense.
4. Use window-configuration-to-register function
Fixes#3450
For some reason, the scroll transient state was trying to reinvent
scrolling halfway up and down a page when these are well supported
operations in evil.
Introduce hjkl-completion-navigation-functions to hold the functions to
disable and enable hjkl navigation for ivy and/or helm. The hook is run
with args to indicate whether to enable or disable.
Also:
- switch spacemacs layouts to the same.
- Add “wD” for ace-delete-window
- switch window dedication toggle to “wt”
- all documentation has been updated to reflect these changes
Closes#5031
Make use of new evil variable evil-disable-insert-state-bindings. This
is better because we are not copying evil code to get hybrid state to
work. We should not need to worry about tracking upstream evil changes
with this version of hybrid mode.
The only effect I can think of with this change is that there is no
longer a distinct hybrid-map, since there is no longer a distinct hybrid
state. This means that, for example, (evil-define-key 'hybrid ...)
will throw an error. You can either use (evil-define-key 'insert ...) or
the preferred (global-set-key ...). The latter is preferred because the
purpose of hybrid mode is to not interfere with Emacs bindings in insert
state.
Use post-init-evil function to load
It's a bit safer than with-eval-after-load, in case evil gets loaded
before its init function is called.
Add entry and exit hooks
Add temporary wrapper to evil-define-key
This is so that calls like (evil-define-key 'hybrid ...) do not fail
after switching over. Instead issue a warning for all such instances and
bind using define-key instead.
Also define evil-hybrid-state-map and make it the parent of
evil-insert-state-map this will prevent calls like (define-key
evil-hybrid-state-map ...) from failing.
These are both temporary and are only intended to smooth the transition
to the new version of hybrid-mode.
- Don't explicitly list commands (they are autoloaded)
- Move xgl binding from keybindings.el
- Don't explicitly require the default-ui feature (not necessary)
- Set variables in init instead of config (easier to change for users)
With the introduction of `rspec` support in version 0.105.0
tests run with rspec launch in their own `rspec-compilation`
which is not managed in `spacemacs-base/init-popwin` causing
those compilations to open a new buffer and take over an exisiting
window.
It is preferable to have the test compilation open in a popwin
that does not disrupt the current state of a workspace layout and
takes advantage of the full width of the current editor view
so it's easier to read. Popwin is also nice because it is easier
to dismiss with a simple `C-g` or `SPC w p p`.
Unless there is a valid reason why these shouldn't be included I think
we should keep them. after all we can yank with `v y` right?
squash! Add documentation
Key bindings should not be choosen given a package name, some helm
key bindings are under `SPC h` which are corrected the following way:
SPC h l for helm-resume to SPC r l (resume last completion)
SPC s l for last-search to SPC r s (resume search) (SPC s l is still
available)
SPC h L for helm-locate-library to SPC s L
Resolve#4592
Bind it to `SPC h d d` as it's a way to describe a lot of elements:
- commands
- functions
- classes
- generic functions
- variables
- faces
- helm-attributes
Is also bound on `SPC F1` and will also stay there.
`SPC j j` is now for avy-goto-char (SPC SPC in 0.105)
`SPC j J` is for avy-goto-char-2
`SPC j s` is for splitting strings or sexps
`SPC j S` is for splitting strings of sexps, insert new line and indent
`SPC j n` is to split line at point, insert new line and indent
