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.
Problem:
The insert link key binding `, i l` shows:
Wrong type argument: commandp, markdown-insert-link
Cause:
The markdown-mode package has renamed the `markdown-insert-link` function to:
`markdown-insert-inline-link-dwim`.
Solution:
Rename the key bindings function name.
Rename documentation to match the function name.
Madoko is a fast markdown processor with a special .mdk extension
from microsoft research. emacs should use markdown-mode to render
a .mdk file as markdown file.
Enabling a company backend for a specific mode was a tedious tasks with code
scattered at different locations, one for local variable definitions, one for
company hook function definitions and another where the backends were pushed to
the local variables (which was problematic, since we ended up pushing the same
backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by
add-to-list calls in the new macro).
All these steps are now put together at one place with the new macro
spacemacs|add-company-backends, check its docstring for more info on its
arguments.
This macro also allows to define arbitrary buffer local variables to tune
company for specific modes (similar to layer variables via a keyword :variables)
The code related to company backends management has been moved to the
auto-completion layer in the funcs.el file. A nice side effect of this move is
that it enforces correct encapsulation of company backends related code. We can
now easily detect if there is some configuration leakage when the
auto-completion layer is not used. But we loose macro expansion at file loading
time (not sue it is a big concern though).
The function spacemacs|enable-auto-complete was never used so it has been
deleted which led to the deletion of the now empty file core-auto-completion.el.
The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has
been deleted. An example to setup auto-completion is provided in the README.org
file of the auto-completion layer.
When Spacemacs is used in daemon mode, the `PATH` is not always filled
up with user-defined run paths when Spacemacs load the packages. The
`toggle` of the `vmd` package is checking for the `vmd` executable which
may be in one of the user path, what prevent the package to be loaded,
even if the executable is available at execution time.
If people want to use `vmd`, setting `markdown-live-preview-engine`
should be enough, there is no need for checking for the executable to be
present, this is the responsability of the user to ensure this.
Update documentation by removing obsolete keybindings that
were deleted from +lang/markdown layer in 7b6678e.
In particular the ~SPC m =~, ~SPC m -~ and ~SPC m l [h/j/k/l]~
have been superseded by the **Movement** bindings.
