The newly introduced function to compile an elpa package
was very much redundant with the existing recompile-elpa function.
I have adapted recompile-elpa so that it can be used for the helm action too.
In addition I have bound recompile-elpa to `SPC c C-c` to allow users to
easily recompile their entire elpa directory if the need arises.
I have also removed the error handling in the helm action in favor of
standard error reporting via the *Compile-Log* buffer.
How to use: `SCP h p` select package then `F3` or `C-z` and choose `Recompile`
Motivation: Some packages when compiling need other packages to be loaded first.
The pacakage maintainers should make sure of this requirement but sommetimes
they don't. It also doesn't help when Spacemacs is lazy loading and compiles
updated pacakges on startup. So the manual fix for this problem is recompile the
package once Spacemacs has fully loaded. This requires user go to the package
install location to delete elc files and then do a `spacemacs/recompile-elpa`.
This commit will do that chore for them.
This will make fixing the problem with `org-plus-contrib` or `dumb-jump` update
every now and then easier.
helm-xref currently provides two functions and the user is expected
to use the correct one based on their emacs version. The lazy loading
logic has to be updated to set the correct xref-show-xrefs-function.
- Added a changelog.develop entry to the various documentation changes section.
- Fixed a typo.
- Improved some of the wording.
- Mentioned that save or discard leaves helm-ag-edit not just iedit state.
When trying to complete a path at the `:e ` evil-ex-completion prompt by
pressing `TAB`.
Before: The default Emacs `*Completions*` buffer opens.
After: The `HELM Completion At Point` buffer opens.
And sorted the transient hooks alphabetically.
helm-swoop cannot detect the buffer has changed when calling git checkout to
change the file content, so helm-swoop won't clear the cache, we have to clear
the cache manually by evaluating `helm-swoop--clear-cache`. As it is
inconvenient, so I introduce a new key binding to to this.

This reverts commit 3a23e0cc6b.
This change completely break `SPC f F` in two ways:
1) it breaks the convention followed at various places to have capital letter
bindings to prefill the helm prompt
2) it breaks the main functionality of the bindings which is very important:
press `SPC f F` on a path will brings you directly to the directory of this
file. It allows to quickly nagivate to files references in files.
I realize this may be controversial, but as I understand it (correct me if I'm
wrong), all `SPC f F` does differently compared to `SPC f f` is call the vanilla
version of `helm-find-files` that does take `thing-at-point` into account. But I
presume we removed this feature in `spacemacs/helm-find-files` for a reason.
Also, it makes sense as a *forte* version of `helm-find-files` when you can't
find something in your current directory and decide to drill deeper. This
complies with the general tone of uppercase/lowercase bindings in Spacemacs, and
provides more utility than te subtle distinction between different
implementations of `helm-find-files`.
Fixes helm not being loaded before calls to:
read-file-name and completing-read.
These are some commands that call either of those two functions:
spacemacs/rename-current-buffer-file (SPC f R)
In a Treemacs window:
treemacs-add-project-to-workspace (C-c C-p a)
In a Magit buffer:
magit-checkout (b b)
Thanks Miciah for a more elegant solution.
This commit also reverts:
Fix helm loading for layouts transient state #11705
because it's not needed anymore.
And the previously commented out transient hook minibuffer-setup-hook (it
doesn't seem to ever have been used) is removed because:
- It loads helm after a command is called that uses helm (instead of before)
- (spacemacs|hide-lighter helm-mode) has previously been moved to the
helm/init-helm :config section.
Helm has removed the helm-wikipedia-suggest command, so delete Spacemacs's
key binding for the command.
4ef8299d78
* CHANGELOG.develop: Add entry.
* doc/DOCUMENTATION.org: Delete documentation for the key binding for
helm-wikipedia-suggest.
* layers/+completion/helm/packages.el (helm/init-helm): Delete the key
binding for helm-wikipedia-suggest.
Invoking C-x C-f (spacemacs/helm-find-files) right after startup, before helm is
loaded, caused a void function error for helm-current-directory. This fixes it.
Fix issue #6416: SPC s f (spacemacs/helm-files-smart-do-search) in a buffer
that is not visiting a file causes an error:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
* layers/+completion/helm/funcs.el
(spacemacs//helm-do-grep-region-or-symbol): Check whether preselection is
nil in order to avoid calling helm-basename on a nil value.
Reduce the width of the listed key bindings by:
Moving the range and highlighted symbols counter to the right of the transient
state title.
Shorten some key description names.
Reduce three instances of "search" to just one.
And reorder the listed keys based on their search scope, small to large:
swoop, buffers, files, project.
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.
