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.
problem:
The spacemacs-completion layer defines the variable:
helm-use-fuzzy
But the spacemacs-base distribution doesn't use the
spacemacs-completion layer by default.
helm-use-fuzzy is used in the helm layer.
When a helm buffer is opened, for example: `SPC SPC`
Then a warnings buffer opens:
>Error (use-package): helm/:config: Symbol’s value as variable is void: helm-use-fuzzy
solution:
Make sure that helm-use-fuzzy is bound and true.
problem:
The Magit w (apply patches) arguments are not remembered between sessions.
cause:
Magit reads the transient files:
history.el, levels.el, and values.el
before Spacemacs has redirected them to the .cache directory.
solution:
Redirect the files before magit reads them.
problem:
Pressing: u
in the spacemacs-base distribution, shows:
evil-undo: Symbol’s function definition is void: undo-tree-undo
cause:
The evil undo system is setup as: undo-tree
but undo-tree is loaded in the spacemacs-editing layer,
and the layer isn't used by default in the spacemacs-base distribution.
solution:
Set the evil undo system to undo-tree when the undo-tree package is used.
Now if undo-tree isn't setup, then:
- u uses the default Emacs undo command.
- C-r says: Customize ‘evil-undo-system’ for redo functionality.
problem:
Reloading the configuration: SPC f e R
after changing the variable: dotspacemacs-fullscreen-at-startup
to: t
changes Emacs into fullscreen mode.
solution:
Only check the variable and change to fullscreen mode on startup,
before Spacemacs has been initialized.
Fixes: Reloading config with fullscreen-at-startup t (in macOS) toggles fullscreen mode #13073
problem:
The Treemacs layer is unable to find python 3 in Windows.
cause:
The Treemacs layer looks for "python3", but the executable is called
"python.exe" in Windows.
solution:
Let Treemacs check for python 3 upstream, it has a better method for finding the
python 3 executable in Windows.
Similar to the keybindings added to the info layer in PR #14188, I here propose to add the same
keybindings to the epub layer. These J/K keybindings are currently undefined in the epub
layer. These keybindings are used in the Zathura document reader, they are very
convenient and I guess they feel very natural and are preferred over d/u by most people.
Standard LSP support auto-activates the server
if LSP layer is loaded. I have now added instructions
to explicitly disable this behaviour if someone wants
to work in LSP in one layer but only with CIDER in
clojure.
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.
bind c-spc to ivy-call-and-recenter
this is the closest thing to helm follow mode in ivy world
unbin `g` key and map `U` for
for ivy-occur-mode-map and ivy-occur-grep-mode-map
* LaTeX: improved i18n support and documentation
- Added a new layer config variable `latex-build-engine`, a thin wrapper of
`TeX-engine`:
- For better support of non-european character set rendering, `xetex` is
chosen when it's found on PATH, and when eithe `chinese` or `japanese`
layer is enabled
- Added a new layer config variable `latex-enable-preview`:
- When non-nil, `auto-revert-mode` is added to `doc-view-mode-hook`
- Previously this is described in documentation but requires users to set it
manually
- Documentation:
- Added a section that lists are layer config variables
- Improved all documentation examples, s.t. they are valid elisp forms to be
evaluated directly
- Improved the section on backend:
- Emphsized that LSP layer is always preferred
- Provided information on installing the language server
- Added the default value for layer config variable, `latex-nofil-env`
* minor edits
- Updated CHANGELOG.develop
- Renamed `latex-enable-preview` to `latex-refresh-preview`
- Replaced a fuzzy intra-link in documentation with a proper link

Problem:
When the restart-emacs package is being updated.
The update packages restart message, still shows the (SPC q r) key binding even
though it doesn't work.
Cause:
The member function compared a string against a list of symbols.
A possible improvement:
Explain that the key binding won't work this time.
Before:
Emacs has to be restarted to actually install the new version of the packages (SPC q r).
After:
Emacs has to be restarted to actually install the new version of the packages
(SPC q r) won't work this time, because the restart-emacs package is being updated.
When ligatures are enabled globally emacs gets pined at 100% CPU. In #13967
there were some ligatures that were highlighted but enabling this only in
prog-mode so emacs dose not get pined at 100% when just enabling with
(unicode-fonts-enable-ligatures t). In #14178 it was highlighted that "\\" had
an issue in the `init.el` so this has been removed
- "//" Issues with doom mode line
- ".." "..." Issues with helm find file
- "--" Issues with magit
The eglot configuration for automatically starting a server instance when
opening a file is incorrect and thus tries to start the server twice which leads
to more problems down the line. Also the company-backend is not properly setup
so auto-completion does not work reliably when using lsp or eglot.
This fixes g (magit-refresh), in the hybrid editing style when the variable:
hybrid-style-enable-evilified-state
is: nil
Thanks marienz for reporting the issue and for suggesting to check if the
editing style supports evil navigation.
