See issue #4605. When dotspacemacs-helm-header is changed from the
default nil, then the helm-source-header theming does not updated when
a new theme is loaded.
This was due to the helm-source-header-default-xxx variables being set
only once and not updated when a new theme is loaded. The fix adds an
advice to spacemacs/post-theme-init to update these variables.
This allows for all other code including theming to take place and then
set the variables correctly i.e
load-theme -> post-theme-init -> helm-header
This also ensures the code is correctly decoupled now that helm is one
of the optional completion layers.
When a single source helm is viewed the source face-attribute was
changed from helm-selection to default as this gives a more consistent
result for themes that have bright highlight lines and/or no helm face
values.
Key bindings should not be choosen given a package name, some helm
key bindings are under `SPC h` which are corrected the following way:
SPC h l for helm-resume to SPC r l (resume last completion)
SPC s l for last-search to SPC r s (resume search) (SPC s l is still
available)
SPC h L for helm-locate-library to SPC s L
Resolve#4592
SPC h . helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-dotspacemacs
SPC h SPC helm/ivy-spacemacs-help
SPC h f helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-faq
SPC h l helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-layers
SPC h p helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-packages
SPC h r helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-docs
SPC h t helm/ivy-spacemacs-help-toggles
There's not that many commands under `SPC h` so this gives easier access
to these commands. It also makes `SPC h SPC` get you straight to the
docs in both helm and ivy.
ivy-use-virtual-buffers was triggering recentf-mode to be called before
the recentf init function was called leading to problems with where the
recentf file was placed.
This layer configures spacemacs to use the ivy/counsel/swiper family of
packages. Default completion is done with ivy. This is meant to replace
helm for those who want it.
