For buffers, `*` search for the word under the cursor, and `/` ask to
search for an expression. To keep the same mnemonic at project level,
this commit change `SPC /` to ask for an expression to search, and add
`SPC *` to search for the expression under the cursor (in fact the only
difference being the expression pre-filled inside the input field).
The toggle is being called after the package is loaded, but the package
is deferred based on a call to the toggle. This means that the first
time toggle is used it's called at least twice. Furthermore, `(setq
linum-format 'linum-relative)` effectively turns on the mode as it is.
Possible fix for #2161
In help buffers, TAB in emacs state allows you to jump through the
links. This allows for the same behavior in motion state. This is very
useful for jumping to function definitions.
This change add a `switch-to-scratch-buffer` function allowing to – you
guessed it – switch to the `*scratch*` buffer, taking care of creating
it if necessary. The function is bind to `SPC b s`, `b` as it concerns
buffers, and `s` for `scratch`.
Correct a bug in helm-spacemacs: Whenever a function was needing the
FAQ's candidates in helm-spacemancs (`SPC f e h` and `SPC f e f`), the
`FAQ.org` file was open in a buffer and not closed. This commit corrects
this by loading the content of `FAQ.org` in a temp buffer and switch it
to `org-mode` in order to get the candidates.
evil-mc is a new attempt to bring multiple cursors to evil users.
Enable it by adding `(global-evil-mc-mode)` then use
g r m to mark all
g r u to remove cursors
g r p to pause cursors
g r r to resume
g r h to add a cursor at point (cursors must be paused first)

Emacs provides a `count-words-region' which is badly named as it counts
not only words, but also characters and lines. The current keybinding
for this function `SPC x w c' implies it's referring to words only. The
new mapping `SPC x c` is more coherent since it means counting text,
whether it is characters, words or lines. An alias `count-region` is
created to be less confusing in which-key description.
`SPC x w c` being free, `spacemacs/count-words-analysis` is remapped to
it instead of `SPC x w C` to save one keystroke.
The `spacemacs/count-words-analysis' function displays results with the
default elisp formatting of associative list. This change improves it by
changing the format to a more human-readable form, and also by ordering
results by frequencies first, and then alphabetically in case of tie.
The function `spacemacs/avy-open-url` allows to easily select an URL on
the screen with `avy` and open it. The function is bind to `SPC x o`,
`x` as it is text-related and `o` for open.
Add the `FAQ.org` file as a source in helm-spacemacs (`SPC f e h`).
Define a new keybinding for looking directly inside the FAQ with helm:
`SPC f e f`.
With help from TheBB, thanks!
The `SPC p t` keybinding opens the neotree at the project root.
Currently the neotree only shows the root of the project, nothing is
expanded and no file is focused/selected. With this modification, the
neotree is still showing the project root, but with the current file
being focused/selected in the hierarchy (its path being expanded).

Import TheBB configuration into Spacemacs and add `C-S-h` to replace
redefined `C-h` binidng.
Also remove the go up a directory behavior on backspace, now backspace
is a regular backspace.
