Emacs 26.1 will introduce a new native line numbers feature:
"display-line-numbers". It includes relative line numbers, is faster than
current linum-mode, and doesn't use the margin area (it has its own area). So
yeah, we want to use the new feature when possible.
No changes are required on the user side, except for Emacs 26 users are
recommended to remove nlinum layer from their configuration (if they have
enabled it).
With this change:
- Emacs 26:
- uses display-line-numbers by default.
- linum and linum-relative packages are excluded.
- Emacs 25:
- does NOT use display-line-numbers.
- continues to use linum and linum-relative.
- nlinum layer:
- can still be used as before in Emacs 25.
- is NOT recommended in Emacs 26, but can be used.
- when enabled, excludes display-line-numbers.
Also contains some bug fixes:
Fixes a bug where setting `dostpacemacs-line-numbers` to `t` or `relative`
enabled line numbers in every buffer, instead of only in buffers that derive
from prog-mode and text-mode.
Likewise fixes a bug where specifying `:enabled-for-modes nil` (or not
specifying `:enabled-for-modes` at all) in `dotspacemacs-line-numbers` settings
meant "enable in all modes" instead of "enable in modes derived from prog-mode
or text-mode".
Because of this change, also adds a way for users to enable line numbers
in *all* buffers.
Removes check for special buffer. All our current checks should be enough to
enable line numbers only where it makes sense. Disabling in all special buffers
is not necessary.

I am currently going between many programming languages and the current solution falls short for me. The 'prog-mode-hook seems to work pretty well.
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.
The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.
Since we have now a variable for the mode-line theme, it makes sense to move
the scaling of the mode-line to this variable. Thus the property
=:powerline-scale= of variable dotspacemacs-default-font has been removed and
it is replace by the property =:separator-scale= used in the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme=.
This commit also adds a the property =:sperator= for the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme= which allows to set the separator type.
Example of the final result:
dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme '(all-the-icons
:separator cup
:separator-scale 1.5)
Documentation has been updated to reflect the changes.
New layer variable `dotspacemacs-mode-line-themes`:
Set the theme for the Spaceline. Supported themes are `spacemacs',
`all-the-icons', `custom', `vim-powerline' and `vanilla'. The first three
are spaceline themes. `vanilla' is default Emacs mode-line. `custom' is a
user defined themes, refer to the DOCUMENTATION.org for more info on how
to create your own spaceline theme."
See DOCUMENTATION.org changes for more info.
This commit adds support for `spaceline-all-the-icons` package.
`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`.
Modify macro spacemacs|add-toggle to create additional sets of functions for
each supported modes when the toggle is major mode specific.
A toggle is major mode specific when it is bound to keys using the keyword
:evil-leader-for-mode
Updare documentation to add a section on toggles in the Spacemacs concepts.
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.
