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.
This idea is to have the spacemacs-base distribution only configure defaults for
built-in packages. Those buit-in packages are now configured in the new layer
spacemacs-defaults.
Additionally some other packages of spacemacs-base have been dispatched to
better suiting spacemacs layers.
Projectile has been moved to the new layer spacemacs-project
- Move the following packages to bootsrap distributio layer:
- exec-path-from-shell
- evil-evilified-state
- holy-mode
- hybrid-mode
- spacemacs-theme
- ace-window has been moved to spacemacs-navigation
- centered-buffer-mode has been moved to spacemacs-editing-visual
- pcre2el has been moved to spacemacs-editing
- evil-escape and evil-visualstar have been moved to spacemacs-evil
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.
Delete layer evil-cleverparens and move the package to spacemacs-evil layer.
The feature is called "Safe structurral editing" for lisp dialects. Support for
it is added via pre-init functions in each of the concerned layer and proper
documentation is added to their README.org files.
This also removes the recently added package evil-smartparens. The goal is
to choose the best package for evil safe structural editing. For now we use
evil-cleverparens as we supported it first, if evil-smartparens is shown to be
a better package we will be able to switch to it.
When `evil-search-module` is set to:
evil-search:
Then `/` search highlights are cleared by pressing: `SPC s c`,
and `C-s` highlights are cleared with `:noh`.
isearch:
Then `/` highlights are cleared with `M-x evil-ex-nohighlight`,
and `C-s` highlights are cleared with both `SPC s c` and `:noh`.
* restore these functions' signatures to those of their stock evil
counterparts (evil-paste-{before,after}), allowing
`evil-mc-execute-evil-paste` to paste at each cursor when there
are multiple instead of pasting at only one cursor
* retain these functions' ability to directly take a register as
input when called interactively
* regression was caused by bfb565eea9
Problem:
Spacemacs rewrites the evil-mc-mode-line variable, to remove the evil-mc mode
line text, when there's only one cursor. The rewrite blocks the recent evil-mc
updates, that made the multi cursor, mode line text, more readable.
Solution:
Use the new evil-mc-one-cursor-show-mode-line-text variable, to only hide the
mode line text, when there's one cursor. This unblocks the current, and any
future updates, that the evil-mc package makes to the mode line text.
Pasting in evil-mode has been broken since
`58458f2d2abcc1211444c2060ab598f55e518da4`, as `p` and `P` would always paste
from the unnamed register instead of the register selected with `"`. I've
removed the function's second parameter, as it wasn't being used anywhere.
Fixes#8759
The unimpaired keybindings `[ q` and `] q` can be used to jump to flycheck
errors in the current buffer. Because evil-repeat treated them as regular
operations, they were repeated when pressing the `.` key. This made it harder to
rename multiple erroneous variables.
There was an error in `linum-on` when `dotspacemacs-line-numbers` was set to
`'relative`.
- new function `spacemacs//linum-backward-compabitility` to test for old
supported values.
- Use an :around advice for `linum-on` instead of redefining it.
- move linum init time config to `:init` section of `use-package`
- fix relative linum initialization by testing if `dotspacemacs-line-numbers` is
a list first.
spacemacs/disable-vi-tilde-fringe and
spacemacs/disable-vi-tilde-fringe-read-only are used by spacemacs-evil,
but were defined in spacemacs-ui-visual. Move the definitions to the
correct place.
Prevent next-buffer, other-buffer, etc. from choosing useless buffers.
No need for spacemacs/next-useful-buffer,
spacemacs/previous-useful-buffer anymore.
Also fix spacemacs/alternate-buffer to respect buffer-predicate.
When spacemacs-layouts is used, buffer-predicate filters useful buffer
that belong to the current layout.
Choose to inherit from face lazy-highlight instead of region.
Ideally a theme should not set lazy-highlight to the same face as
region.
Also move some function to funcs.el and remove some empty lines.
To use nlinum + nlinum-relative add the nlinum layer
Note: there are still work to do on nlinum-relative, at some point we
may replace linum by nlinum completely.
