I feel like we should start from scratch on this one and carefully choose the
defaults.
Also this settings is a very personal setting so if we make some buffers
useless we must have a consensus on it. Marking all special buffers starting
with `*` as useless is too aggressive and make Spacemacs less POLA since two
consecutive press on SPC TAB may not revert to the original buffer.
`SPC b H` is available, for opening or selecting the help buffer (if it
exists). This makes it much easier to open the help buffer, than having
to open the buffer list (`SPC b b`), then typing one or more characters,
to select the help buffer, and finally pressing `RET`.
A fix for #10091. The default behavour for which-key is for
'which-key-idle-delay' to affect both the initial trigger and subsequent
actions. By setting 'which-key-idle-secondary-delay' to something non-nil,
that delay acts over the subsequent actions instead.
The which-key wiki recommends setting it to a 'non-zero value', as zero could
cause issues, so instead set it to 0.01.
The Frame delete bindings SPC F c and C, are inconsistent with the delete window
and buffer bindings, that use: d and D
Changed the dired-other-frame binding from d to O
Add the key binding: t
to open helm-themes, without having to use the arrow up key.
Reorder/rename: cycles backward and cycles forward
to: next and previous
Next is listed first, because it's the most common action, and it matches the
order in other transient states.
Change the t argument in the call to spacemacs/cycle-spacemacs-theme, to the
symbol 'backward, to make it clear what the argument does.
Add documentation for the Themes Transient State bindings.
Original Commit List
- update cycle-spacemacs-theme function to work backward with universal arg
- add a transient-state hydra to cycle through the modes
- move the transient-state definition in the +distribution spacemacs-base
- refactor using hydra syntax for expression as command
- modified cycle-theme to handle negative command argument
- add keybing for helm-themes in the transient-state
Motivation: so layers with their own evil states (e.g. treemacs) can also
contain their own cursor configuration
Example usage: `(spacemacs/add-evil-cursor "treemacs" "RoyalBlue1" '(hbar . 0))`
Layers can now declare in their layers.el file that they shadow one or more
layers using the following functions:
- configuration-layer/shadow-layers
- configuration-layer/shadow-layer
Those function are commutative so:
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer1 'layer2)
is the same as
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer2 'layer1)
and means that
layer1 shadows layer2
and
layer2 shadows layer1
The typical use-case is helm and ivy layers. Helm shadows the ivy layer and
Ivy shadows the helm layer.
Shadowing is sensitive to the order of declaration of layers in the dotfile,
for instance:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
helm
ivy
))
means that ivy shadows helm so helm layer is effectively ignored,
whereas
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
helm
))
means that helm shadows ivy so ivy layer is effectively ignored.
This mechanism can be turned off using the :can-shadow keyword:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
(helm :can-shadow nil)
))
means that both ivy and helm layers will be installed (not recommended in this
case)
Note that the `:can-shadow` mechanism will be fully implemented in a next
commit.
The first improvement consists of running the scale fix only for
graphical emacs. The scale fix is not needed in the terminal. Also some
poeple still have problems with it in the terminal even though they run
latest emacs master and spacemacs develop.
The second improvement is related to the way the margins are scaled. It
was incorrect to calculate the scale factor and apply it to the current
window margin width, it needed to be applied to the initial margin
width.
This is similar to the `Ctrl+Shift+T` keybinding found in major browsers, and
helps when accidentally killing a buffer (i.e. fat-fingering `SPC b d` when
meaning to press `SPC b s`).
Only buffers that resolve to existing files will be considered, and stored in a
stack which is pushed to and popped from on buffer kill.
Problem:
Two which-key functions doc-strings, state that they are obsolete:
(which-key-declare-prefixes KEY-SEQUENCE REPLACEMENT &rest MORE)
This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;
use ‘which-key-add-key-based-replacements’ instead.
(which-key-declare-prefixes-for-mode MODE KEY-SEQUENCE REPLACEMENT &rest MORE)
This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;
use ‘which-key-add-major-mode-key-based-replacements’ instead.
Solution:
Replace the obsolete functions.
Searching with `SPC /` through the .emacs.d folder, didn't find any other
occurrences of these functions.
- bind spacemacs-layouts/non-restricted-buffer-list to SPC b B instead
of SPC B b
- rename buffer listing functions in which-key to be more explicit
PR title:
bindings: non-restricted-buffer-list-* to SPC B b instead of SPC B b
PR message:
I don't know what was the thought behind this, but `spacemacs-layouts/non-restricted-buffers-list-*` was alone in its `SPC B` prefix and `SPC b B` was almost free, only used in one layer that I would be surprised if it was widely used (`ibuffer`).
I also renamed buffers listing functions in `which-key` to be clearer for the user. Indeed, I find that names like `helm-mini` are pretty obscure and kind of defeat the purpose of `which-key` and `spacemacs-layouts-non-restricted-buffer-list-blah` was so long that it couldn't even be displayed.
Now the user can choose between `list-buffers` or `global-list-buffers` for listing buffers.
