Sometimes it is handy to show keymaps persistently with which-key. For example,
to show navigation commands in Info-mode, gnus, eww etc. This PR implements
handy toggles and documentation for that.
Although the docs show an example, but the paragraph below seems to imply that a
package can't be fetched directly off git. Update to make it more clear that it can.
Spacemacs lacks a keybinding alternative to the most natural way of scrolling
Info pages (i.e. SPC) in vanilla emacs.
Anyway, this commit adds J/K to scroll most naturally through info pages.
Currently, in Info-mode, a keybinding for J is not defined while K is bound to
evil-lookup.
Issue #2828 already adresses the inconsistent experience, and in my opinion this
can and should be improved as navigating Info pages is a very crucial part of
using Emacs.
Personally I have bound J/K to scroll page up/down in buffers/pdf/djvu/doc-view,
which I inherited from using the zathura pdf reader, and I think this is a better
default than the default vim alternatives.
Searching for information about configuration layers is confusing because both
the overview and development info pages have the same title (try it with
google). Specifying those info pages title names and adding cross links makes
the docs friendlier.
Pull request #10297 made the Emacs server optional, so that it does
not start up unless the init file is modified to enable it. The
documentation, however, indicates that the opposite is true. This
fix updates the documentation to be consistent with the actual
behavior.
The function: helm-org-get-candidates was removed upstream.
Improvements:
Recenter the target candidate.
Reversed the helm headings list, to match the order of the
questions in FAQ.org, so that the Common questions are
listed first.
Removed the : (colon) after the heading: How do I
in FAQ.org, to match the other parent headings.
The newly introduced function to compile an elpa package
was very much redundant with the existing recompile-elpa function.
I have adapted recompile-elpa so that it can be used for the helm action too.
In addition I have bound recompile-elpa to `SPC c C-c` to allow users to
easily recompile their entire elpa directory if the need arises.
I have also removed the error handling in the helm action in favor of
standard error reporting via the *Compile-Log* buffer.
- Removed the word `Manipulation` from the transient state titles:
- Buffer Manipulation Transient State and Window Manipulation TS
- Expanded the TS abbreviation to Transient State
- Documented the Buffer Transient State key binding:
`q` to quit the transient state
- Capitalized `Transient State` in the titles
- Window Transient State:
- Added a line break after the title in the folded hint.
This allows for more keys to be visible horizontally.
- Moved up the [?] help key after the title, so that
it's in the same place in both the folded and full
transient state.
The org-mode todo key has been changed from just: t
to: SPC m T T (same as: , T T)
in this PR: Use evil-org from MELPA #9041
The PR authors reasons were:
>- single-shortcut keys are few in number and valuable
>- the vim/evil defaults for those keys are designed for editable modes, and org
> is an editable mode
>- practically nowhere else in Spacemacs are such keys overridden
>- the benefit of making an exception in this case is dubious
>- it's not too difficult to configure on a user level
>
>For sure, many people will be toggling todo state more often than using the t
jump operator while in org-mode, but I'm not convinced that this is worth
violating POLA in org-mode. But of course if there is consensus that I'm wrong
then I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.

- Mentioned that: `t` can be restored for toggling todo, and added a link to the
instructions in the org layer documentation:

- Rewrote some sentences.
- Wrapped some paragraphs at 80 chars.
