problem
The Symbol Highlight Transient State (`SPC s h`) counter
ex: [2/7]
Shows: [0/0]
when opening the TS, either with `SPC s h`, `SPC s H`
or when navigating between symbols with: `#` or `*`
cause
The symbols haven't been counted yet, when the TS is opened.
And the counter is reset when `auto-highlight-symbol-mode` is disabled,
this happens when the TS is restarted, which happens when navigating to the
next/previous symbol with `#` and `*`.
solution
Highlight the symbol before opening the TS.
And only disable `auto-highlight-symbol-mode` when the TS is closed.
(when the TS buffer " *LV*" doesn't exist)
notes
This also shows the "No previously searched for symbol found" message,
when the variable `spacemacs-last-ahs-highlight-p` is void on startup.
problem
navigating to the next/prev symbol,
in the symbol highlight transient state: `SPC s h`
with: `n`, `N` or `p`
soft freezes Emacs (the freeze can be canceled with `C-g` twice)
cause
the upstream variable: `ahs-current-overlay` has been removed
solution
it was replaced with a function called: `ahs-current-overlay-window`
* fix `Symbol’s function definition is void: ahs-highlight-p`
* get rid of 2 instances of `eval`
* improve advicing code with the use of `advice-add`
* eliminate 2 redundant calls to `ahs-highlight-now` in adviced functions
* eliminate redundant `spacemacs/ahs-highlight-now-wrapper`
Fixed an issue where ahs-mode was being enabled before the check for it
already being enabled.
Switched the toggle to be based on the mode instead of the timer hack.
problems:
- Symbol highlighting is enabled on startup.
- The highlight isn't cleared when closing the
Symbol Highlight Transient State
- The `SPC t h a` symbol highlight toggle,
only shows a disabled message,
but the highlighting remains enabled.
cause:
Changes in the upstream package: auto-highlight-symbol
