New function configuration-layer/insert-lazy-install-configuration
This function asks for a layer and then insert the lazy configuration
for all the packages owned by this layer.
- New macro `spacemacs|transient-state-format-hint`
Additional hints can be formatted outside of the transient state macro.
This is a better separation of concern from an API point of view
because those hint are coupled to with the usage of :dynamic-hint
keyword. The transient state macro only need to know the entry point
for such dynamic hints, effectively increasing the readability of
transient state definition.
To be able to decouple the formatting of additional hints, a new
private variable whose name is given by the function
`spacemacs//transient-state-props-var-name` has been introduced.
An alternative would have been the save the whole transient state macro
props but a variable allows the cherry-pick only the values we really
need.
- Remove commented code about old variable
`spacemacs-transient-state-title-face`
- Remove unused keyword :entry-binding since it is not used. Given
the number and diversity of transient states in Spacemacs currently it
is a safe guess to remove this keyword for now. We can reintroduce it
later if really needed.
It's not possible to get full backtraces in these instances when an
error is signaled, and I think we should generate full backtraces when
debug-on-error is enabled as a general rule.
I had to make this change at one place to track down the root of problem
2 in #5200.
Bug lurking in the code for quite some time, if both a package and
its dependencies were uninstalled then activation of the dependencies
could fail. This is resolved by explicitly asking package.el to install
the dependencies if required.
Add actions for both helm and ivy.
TODO:
- see TODO in function body
- replace SPC h d p (list all packages, use spacemacs describe when
it is a layer package, otherwise use vanilla describe).
This new keyword allows to add all the packages to the <layer>-packages
even when a package is not toggled on by a given layer variable.
This fixes an issue of the layer system where we had to choose between
discoverability (ie. the list of package in helm or ivy with SPC h SPC)
and installation of package (because any package listed in the variable
<layer>-packages were installed).
Fix bug: When the list of package names returned by
configuration-layer//get-uninstalled-packages contains a package that
isn't contained in configuration-layer--packages, then
configuration-layer//install-package throws "wrong-argument-type:
eieio-object-p nil" error at startup.
configuration-layer//install-packages catches it and prints it in the
home buffer.
New function configuration-layer/lazy-install to add support for
lazy installation of layers based on auto-mode-alist emacs mechanism.
This is essentially the Prelude feature but translated at the layer
level for Spacemacs.
New dotspacemacs variable to enable this feature:
dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation
For now this variable is set to nil by default, it will be put to t when
the feature is stable.
POC with elixir layer.
Start to isolate the list of packages. Also we want to define packages
function at the top level of an elisp file in order to not prevent
emacs from knowing where the functions are defined.
This commit has a POC made with elfeed and elixir layers.
Add function that can be used to defer execution until after
dotspacemacs/user-config is run. If it has already been run the function
executes immediately.
Initially this is only used for deferring the definitions of
transient-states.
spacemacs-STATE-transient-state-remove-bindings is a list of keys whose
associated bindings should be removed for a transient state, when this
variable is defined.
spacemacs-STATE-transient-state-add-bindings is a list of bindings
suitable for a hydra whose associated bindings should be added to a
transient state, when this variable is defined.
Try to use as many of the old keywords from spacemacs|define-micro-state
as possible in the new macr spacemacs|define-micro-state-2 (the 2 is
just to use for the transition period)
Enable a global binding to access a list of available REPLs to run
everywhere. If the requested REPL depends on a major-mode that hasn't
been loaded, it will be loaded along its dependencies.
To make this work, a new `spacemacs/register-repl` function is included.
This function adds a major-mode and its repl function to a global
variable.
Addressing #4586. The bug stops Spacemacs from listing rollback slots if
there exists a file (i.e. non-directory) in the rollback directory.
e.g. .emacs.d/.cache/.rollback/.DS_Store (common in OS X)
- Remove extensions template
- Prompt before creating readme (Users creating private layers probably
don't want to create a readme)
- Template out layer author and email address
- Rename LAYERNAME to LAYER_NAME for readability
- Use fallback attributes if user-full-name is unset
- Fix inconsistent Spacemacs capitalization in template
People transitioning from Vim could be surprised if we set these
variable to t by default, so setting them to nil respects better
the POLA principle.
Impacted variables:
dotspacemacs-ex-substitute-global

Background: `C-i` and `TAB` are the same keycode for historic reasons.
With the current settings, evil [1] and evil-jumper [2] associate
`jump-forward` to `C-i` (==`TAB`), what overrides bindings set to
`TAB` (==`C-i`) in terminal mode, like `orc-cycle`. To fix this,
this commit:
- Set `evil-want-C-i-jump` to `nil`, to prevent `evil` and `evil-jumper`
to use the `C-i` (==`TAB`) keycode.
- Remove the spacemacs' code that bind `jump-forward` to `TAB`(==`C-i`)
The current spacemacs code already rebind `jump-forward` to the GUI-only
`<C-i>` keycode.

Please check this, but this does the trick for me to fix#4057. The
reason I'm not sure about it is I don't know what the purpose of the
do-after-display-system-init code is. It doesn't seem necessary for me,
and I'm testing this on the GUI version.
Note that any non Emacsy command line parameter and non processed
command line parameter (that is unknown from Spacemacs) will hide the
home buffer. This should be good enough.
Fixes#4057
Checking for system-type is not enough accurate, it broke when using
an X server under OS X because system-type is darwin but the
initialized display is x-initialized not ns-initialized.
Add macro to wrap things that depend on the display being
initialized (and a frame active), such as getting the font. Advise the
`server-create-window-system-frame` function which is called by
emacsclient when creating a window-system frame. This is only run the
first time a frame is created, so the advice removes itself.

This make `SPC h SPC` as default binding for accessing `helm-spacemacs`,
by either A) changing all the documentation; and B) adding a deprecation
message for `SPC f e h`.
The deprecation use a warning, because if a message is used it's hidden
directly when the helm buffer is shown, making it nearly unnoticeable
for the user.
More advanced timing of functions and loading with
--debug-init --adv-timers [N]. The last arg is optional and specifies
the threshold time for placing entries in the *load-timers* buffer.
In *spacemacs* buffer, the quick help in `[?]` shows that `m` jumps to
the menu. However, if one customizes the startup lists by setting
`dotspacemacs-startup-lists '(recents bookmarks projects)`, the shortcut
`m` of jumping to the menu would be shadowed and `m` jumps to Bookmarks.
With the help of travisbhartwell and TheBB, I changed the shortcut of
jumping to the Bookmarks to `a` to avoid this shortcut conflict.
1. Don't use beginning-of-buffer (or end):
These are for interactive use only according to compiler
2. reduce => cl-reduce
3. next-line => forward-line
next-line is only for interactive use
4. set-default-font => set-frame-font
set-default-font is obsolete since 23.1
5. show-subtree => outline-show-subtree (alias)
6. show-all => outline-show-all (alias)
evil-set-initial-state is safer than manually adding and deleting from
the lists, because it knows about all available states and ensures that
the mode only shows up in one list. If it is in multiple list the
initial state depends on which is checked first, which we don't want.
This commit merge the `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `doc/CONTRIBUTE.org` file
into a new `CONTRIBUTING.org` file. It also refactors the content to be
more organized and make its navigation more goal-oriented.
Github displays a link to the `CONTRIBUTING.*` file when people are
opening new issues or proposing new PRs. This file is important because
it is the entry-point to contributions guidelines for most of the users.
The current setup is non-optimal, even broken, as it adds a level of
indirection, and points to a contributing file that has broken
links (due to the new documentation format). The possible drawback of
the proposed solution is that I'm not sure if it is possible to include
it into the new online documentation as it is not in `doc/` folder.
The other possibility is to keep a small `CONTRIBUTING.md` file, as it
is now, pointing to the new documentation system (once online), but I'm
preferring the proposed solution for the following reasons:
- People that are willing to contribute will probably open Github
first (for forking, creating PR, etc), not the online documentation.
- It has one level of indirection less when people click on the
guidelines guide from a new issue/PR.
- `CONTRIBUTING.*` is by convention a special kind of file on github, so
it's valid reason to break the rule and not having it in the `doc/`
folder.
Before this <tab> => TAB if there is no binding for <tab>, but then
`spacemacs/translate-C-i` turned this into <C-i>, which we don't want
because that would mean having to always bind <tab> when this option is
enabled. This commit adds a check to make sure we can't possibly be
translating from <tab> originally (we only want to capture the C-i
events in the GUI).
Also, fixes C-m translation but leaves it commented.
