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This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;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This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;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.
Group together the which-key entries that call the same command:
k and - becomes k,-
u and _ becomes u,_
Declare a prefix name for SPC x i, this changes the SPC x entry:
from: "i -> +prefix"
to: "i -> +inflection".
Capitalize the transient state title, so that it matches the other TS titles.
Sort the code and documentation key bindings alphabetically.
Old version worked only for method 'ssh' and did not work at all if
user was not specified (e.g. /ssh:hostname:/path). Since the symbol '@' was
required in a filename.
Comment the code and group the keys/commands based on the
which-key section they appear in.
Reduce the width of the listed keys:
By removing spaces around the two dots `..` in the key sequences, and
by removing the modifier keys before the last number in a sequence.
Update the renamed select-window-[1-9] command name, to the new
winum-select-window-[1-9] name.
Combine keys that call the same command.
The various string-match calls in this function were obviosly written with that
in mind.
This also fixes the case where the compilation buffer contains the output of
`cargo test`, which includes "0 failed". Previously, this was treated as an
error, now it's not.
- Remove echo of regexp
- Use = instead of equalp
- Use use-region-p instead of checking line numbers
- Use when/unless instead of if
- Use point-at-{eol,bol} instead of point
Problem: There are two projectile spacemacs/set-leader-keys sections,
next to each other.
Solution: Combine and sort the keys alphabetically with lower case
before upper case. A quick search showed that order in a lot of
other set-leader-key sections.
