With this new variable, user can load spacemacs anywhere, e.g.
"~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/". Only user's cache directory is still hard-coded
as "~/.emacs.d/.cache/". If user want to use spacemacs this way, drop
one line as the below in "~/.emacs.d/init.el":
(setq spacemacs-start-directory "~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/")
(load-file (concat spacemacs-start-directory "init.el"))
Helm-flx, which is included as a core package, requires a minimum Emacs
version of 24.4. As it stands attempting to install Spacemacs on Emacs
24.3 or below will break on helm-flx.
Old implementation excluded package that were not selected, this
implementation does not excluded them, it simply ignore it in the
layer where they are not selected. This reimplementation comes from
a refactor of the way packages.el files are loaded, instead of loading
these files at the moment of resolving the list of used packages, they
are now loaded when making the layer objects. A neat consequence is that
side effects is better confined and the configuration-layer/get-packages
is now pure (at least a lot more pure than before).
In the `cfgl-layer` class the slot `:user-packages` has been renamed
to `:selected-packages` which defaults to `'all` meaning that all
the packages in `:packages` are selected. `:selected-packages` value
is given by the new function `configuration-layer//select-packages`.
Effectively selected packages are given by a new method for `cfgl-layer`
class called `cfgl-layer-get-packages`.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes.
Also documentation on configuration layer declaration in the dotfile
section of DOCUMENTATION.org has been greatly improved (I hope) and
reflect the last feature added to the
`dotspacemacs-configuration-layers` list.
I had a duplicated layer, but the message that's printed broke spacemacs starting up because it was a format string but wasn't in a `format` form. Simple fix. Spacemacs works again! Yay!
This issue was introduced in c0851ddcb3, according to a quick `git bisect`. :)
The car of :owners is the real owner.
Now we can easily gather the list of all owners of a package.
Also fix unit tests about missing spacemacs-insecure variable.
Revert "Parse CLI args after dotspacemacs/init"
This reverts commit 0a35502de4.
We cannot delay the parsing of CLI params since we need their values
early during the loading process (i.e. debug info).
Replace the previous commit with a new variable `spacemacs-insecure`
which takes the value of --insecure boolean parameter.
* layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-editing/packages.el (spacemacs-editing/init-origami):
add origami package and initialize it
* core/core-dotspacemacs.el (dotspacemacs-override-evil-folding): new
variable to allow choosing between different code folding methods.
Currently supported `evil' and `origami'
- Use completing-read when called interactively
- Check for string locations in addition to built-in etc.
- Don’t double-princ on/off for toggles
- Bind to SPC hdP
This new variable replace dotspacemacs-delete-orphan-packages
It defines the behaviour of Spacemacs when downloading packages.
Possible values are `used', `used-but-keep-unused' and `all'.
- `used' will download only explicitly used packages and remove any
unused packages as well as their dependencies.
- `used-but-keep-unused' will download only the used packages but won't
delete them if they become unused.
- `all' will download all the packages regardless if they are used or
not and packages won't be deleted by Spacemacs.
Default value is `used`.
The new layer file `layers.el` is used to declared additional layers.
It is like the sibling of packages.el except that for now it does not
take a list (can do this in a futur commit).
The new order for file loading is the following:
layers.el > packages.el > funcs.el > config.el > keybindings.el
Since packages.el relies on some undefined stuff encapsulated
in init functions, it is not meant to be byte compiled. OTOH funcs.el
(where lies most of the computation added by a package config) should
be compilable.
Since we load packages.el very early it is not possible to use
`configuration-layer/package-usedp` in funcs.el.
This commit also fixes the tests.
Add argument `action` as first positional argument, the second
positonal argument is for tests.
Add actions `doc` and `config`, doc works on org files and config works
on configuration file like packages.el.
The special action `all` performs all actions.
Move test files to `test` sub-folder.
Choose between `md5sum` and `md5` (on OS X) executables.
Add a new formatting function `move-packages-to-config` to move
package lists to config.el file.
Change the semantic of the files for a better control over the
configuration (like being able to use package-usedp function to
guard package configuration and function definition).
This is a big change!
The list of packages of the layer must now be placed in config.el
packages.el only contains pre-init, init and post-init functions
Now both packages.el and funcs.el can use
configuration-layer/package-usedp which is much more powerful than
just configuration-layer/layer-usedp.
Also merging into one file the layer variable and the list of packages
make sense (in this case config.el).
It also means that we can quickly load all the packages declared in
all layer for helm and ivy sources by just loading the config.el file.
Expect some regressions introduced by this change, like the helm
and ivy sources, they will be fixed in other commits.
This commit introduces two new options to add-toggle:
:prefix, a symbol that is bound to the raw prefix argument (as
in `(interactive "P") forms).
:on-message, an expression overriding the default 'on' toggle
message (useful to document a toggle's argument).
These new options are applied to long-lines' toggle, so we can choose
how many lines to toggle it on via a raw prefix argument.
Visiting the dump file before writing to it is slow, because it triggers
all the regular actions that happen when a user opens a file, e.g.
enable major mode and minor modes. We don't need all that,
with-temp-file is what we really want.
spacemacs/report-issue opens a buffer prepopulated with a template and some
system information. The buffer is markdown-mode augmented with a keybinding to
send the contents to github.
Or if that doesn't work, the text remains in the buffer to be manually copied
and pasted. This makes the error reporting more robust: right after the user has
experienced one bug is the worst time to manifest another one.
This commit also rewrites spacemacs//describe-last-keys-string because I
couldn't figure out how else to prevent view-lossage from burying the new
REPORT_SPACEMACS_ISSUE buffer. Suggestions welcome.
--no-layer: desactive all the layers except the distribution layer
--distribution: allow the change temporarily the distribution
example
Start emacs with spacemacs-base and no layers:
emacs --no-layer --distribution spacemacs-base
Add test mode: {repo-root}/core/tools/doc-fmt/run.bash test
applies formatting only to {repo-root}/core/tools/doc-fmt/test.org
Use "gsed" if present.
Add new filters, refactor code.
test.org now represents most of the .org file formatting errors.
If emacs is launched with -q option and spacemacs files are loaded via
--eval option, then spacemacs fails due to depending `after-init-time'
variable being set properly which is done only when emacs is launched
without -q. This patch is to remove this dependence so that spacemacs
launched with -q can still work. This is done by introducing
`spacemacs-initialized' variable which is set properly regardless of
which command line options are present or absent.
New package :step 'bootstrap', this step happens before 'pre' packages.
A new layer names 'spacemacs-bootstrap' gather all the ':step bootstrap'
packages. This layer is special and is always the first element of
the variable 'configuration-layer--layers' which assure that all
bootstrap packages are configured first.
This new layer leverages the configuration layer system, removes the
clutter of package installations in the function 'spacemacs/init' and
isolate the bootstrap packages in one place.
The https link-type opens the local copies of the Spacemacs documentation files with
the spacemacs/view-org-file function. It supports GitHub style heading links
For example, the link:
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/layers/org/README.org#links
Will be handled similary to as if it was:
file:~/.emacs.d/layers/org/README.org::*links
Also the `space-doc' mode will be applied.
Refactored GH style anchor search.
`space-doc-mode` - Buffer local minor mode for Spacemacs documentation files. The mode hides org meta tags.
Enabled when viewing documentation via `SPC` `h` `SPC`
Add new html preprocessors to the org-html-publish-to-html pipeline:
- `spacemacs//toc-org-unhrefify-toc`
- remove the `toc-org` modifications for the TOC
- `spacemacs//org-heading-annotate-custom-id`
- annotate org headings with the indexes that GitHub uses for linking.
`org-html-publish-to-html` will use them instead of the default
`#orgheadline{N}`. This way the GitHub links and the
http://spacemacs.org/ links will be compatible."
- `spacemacs//reroot-links`
- find the links that start with
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/ and end with
.org{#an-optional-heading-link} (i.e the links between the local org

point at files located on the site.
*For the "file to file" links to work properly the expor
Several things have been fixed:
- correctly set the :lazy-install flag on all packages of a lazy
installed layer
- correctly unset the :lazy-install flag when installing the packages
- sort the packages before installation and configuration
Fixes#5610
Make cfgl-layer-owned-packages return a list of package objects instead
of just package names.
Use this function to correctly excluded non owned package when flagging
package for lazy installation.
Fixes#5608
- only consider distant packages (i.e. requiring an installation)
- remove lazy install flag of a layer if at least one owned package is
already installed
Now Spacemacs will ask for layer installation when opening a file with
a known file type.
The auto-mode-alist entries are added by the file auto-layer.el in
the layers directory.
Easy insert of forms for lazy initialization can be done with the
interactive function configuration-layer//insert-lazy-install-form.
Change default value of dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation to t.
Motivation
While disabling Evil in holy-mode makes its implementation shorter and
sounds elegant on the paper, in practice it puts a big burden on the
configuration parts which need to know if Evil is enable or not. This is
a bad separation of concerns and the bunch of fixes that we were forced
to do in the past weeks shows this issue. Those fixes were about
removing the knowledge of the activation of Evil by implementing new
dispatching functions to be used by layers, this is cumbersome and makes
Spacemacs layer configuration more subtle which is not good. There was
additional bad consequences of the removal of Evil state like the
impossibility to use Evil lisp state or iedit states, or we would have
been forced to implement a temporary activation of Evil which is
awkward.
Instead I reintroduce Evil as the central piece of Spacemacs design thus
Evil is now re-enabled in holy-mode. It provides the abstraction we need
to isolate editing styles and be able to grow the Spacemacs
configuration coverage sanely. Layers don't need to check whether the
holy mode is active or not and they don't need to know if Evil is
available (it is always available). We also don't need to write
additional dispatching functions, this is the job of Evil, and I think
it provides everything for this. Ideally configuration layer should be
implemented with only Evil in mind and the holy-mode (and hybrid-mode)
should magically make it work for Emacs style users, for instance we can
freely use `evil-insert-state` anywhere in the code without any guard.
Evil is now even more part of Spacemacs, we can really say that
Spacemacs is Emacs+Evil which is now an indivisible pair. Spacemacs
needed this stable API to continue on the right track.
While these changes should be rather transparent to the user, I'm sorry
for this experimental period, I failed to see all the implications of
such a change, I was just excited about the possibility to make Evil
optional. The reality is that Spacemacs has to embrace it and keep its
strong position on being Emacs+Evil at the core.
Implementation
- insert, motion and normal states are forced to emacs state using an
advice on `evil-insert-state`, `evil-motion-state` and
`evil-normal-state` respectively. These functions can be used freely in
the layer configuration.
- A new general hook `spacemacs-editing-style-hook` allow to hook any
code that need to be configured based on the editing style. Functions
hooked to this hook takes the current style as parameter, this
basically generalize the hook used to setup hjkl navigation bindings.
- ESC has been removed from the emacs state map.
- Revert unneeded changes
- Revert "evil: enter insert-state only from normal-state"
commit bdd702dfbe.
- Revert "avoid being evil in deft with emacs editing style"
commit f3a16f49ed.
Additional changes
All editing style packages have been moved to a layer called
`spacemacs-editing-styles`
Notes
I did not have time to attack hybrid mode, I should be able to do it
later.
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
dotspacemacs-remap-Y-to-y$
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.

[2] efaa841ca4/evil-jumper.el (L241)Fix#4505Fix#4487
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.
Fixes: syl20bnr/spacemacs#299 and syl20bnr/spacemacs#1894
(Among others)
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.
Added dotfile variable to template and core-dotspacemacs.el
After enabling, if C-i is translated to the "key" <C-i> which allows you
to bind a separate command in the GUI like this
(define-key map [C-i] 'c-i-command)
or this
(define-key map (kbd "<C-i>") 'c-i-command)
This has the side effect of no longer making C-i default to TAB in the
GUI, but will not affect the TAB or <tab> bindings.
Removes spacemacs//handle-terminal-keys

fixes#3284
This pre-command-hook translates the special key to the corresponding
emacs function key. This effects only happens in terminal, this hook is
a no-op in GUI.
By doing this we attempt to bring more consistency between the GUI
and the terminal regarding TAB and RET keys.
spacemacs/set-key
spacemacs/set-key-for-state
These functions find normalized keys which should handle as sanely as
possible the GUI and the terminal.
See docstring of spacemacs//normalize-key for more info.
Since there is not an easy way to hook into the title or table of
contents generation, use advising functions to post-process the output
of `org-html-toc' and `org-html-template' to insert the desired content.
Would like a cleaner way of doing this.
dotspacemacs-default-layout-name is only to set the name

I feel that it is not needed because it makes not a lot of sense to
have it non global since it is a dotfile variable.
Also remove ' from the docstring for consistency.
If we select a theme after spacemacs' startup, then
`spacemacs--cycle-themes` doesn't have the first theme from
`dotspacemacs-themes` so we start over.
`global-linum-mode` is making line numbers appearing in `*spacemacs*`
and `helm` buffers, what is annoying.
This change make the linum `SPC t n` toggle buffer-local, and add a
customization variable in `.spacemacs` to enable line numbers globally.
«Globally» here as to be understood as «in `prog-mode` and `text-mode`».
This part doesn't seem to be needed any longer. I tested it in terminal
and in GUI modes, both with spacemacs and spacemacs-base distributions,
both with and without a banner: No visual difference with and without
this code.
Mainly adds a check to make sure the working directory is clean before
switching versions. The automatic update should not remove changes by
the user. They can do that manually if they wish.
Also restructures the function to make it a little easier to follow.
Add a spacemacs update button to the spacemacs buffer, and relabel the
package update button to read "Update Packages". This will hopefully
resolve some confusion about updating spacemacs vs. updating the
packages.
I also tweaked the switch-to-version function to make it a little more
verbose to use it for the spacemacs update button.
Catch errors in executed function and signal them to the user in the
spacemacs buffer. We don't want loading to silently fail because there
is a problem in dotspacemacs/user-config for example.
1. Make sure debug-on-error stays on
2. Force verbose loading
3. Detect long requires and loads (with --timed-requires)
4. Start profiler (with --profile)
The dotfile says that setting the major-mode leaders to nil will disable
the functionality, but there were a couple of places where that option
was not being respected.
post value for package :step property is both useless and considered
harmful. It would hijack the determinism of the loading order.
'pre value is used very very rarely and I even think it is not even
used since most of the time a package that must be loaded in pre step
is a bootstrap package. But we keep 'pre since it can be useful to
have it for _exceptional_ cases.
While doing the tests I encountered an edge case where a package owned
by the dotfile could be passed either a 'private or 'local location
which is ambiguous (moreover where do we put packages with 'local
location ?).
We remove the ambiguity by removing the 'private value and push the
path ~/.emacs.d/private/local/pkg/ when the owner of a local
package PKG is the dotfile.
When the owner of a local package is a layer then the load path is
in the "local" subdirectory of the layer directory. It adds no value
to use the old 'private location in this case.
This is how evil-leader gets `SPC m` to work for mode specific bindings,
and we need to mirror this step for `M-m`. This is big change, but in
order for `M-m` to work properly we need to remap it to the mode-map
whenever possible.
When the package already exists, use configuration-layer/make-package
to copy information into the existing package object.
This allows overwriting location, step and excluded, but NOT owner,
pre-layers or post-layers.
Should fix#2849. The new package-delete tries to save changes to the
selected package variable during the update process and this can cause
conflicts with how spacemacs wants to update packages (and even lead to
the .spacemacs file being deleted. This is also unnecessary, because we
are only deleting the packages temporarily to be installed at the next
boot, so there should be no need to update this variable.
This change only affects Emacs 25 users.
Instead of error, show a warning that the unavailable package(s) were
skipped. This should handle situations were a package is temporarily
unavailable from MELPA (or other sources).
If spacemacs encounters errors on the initial load of the user
.spacemacs file, now defaults to loading the default template.
Additionally, temporarily suspends pruning of orphan packages to make it
easier for users to recover after they fix their dotfile.
Previously, errors would cause the spacemacs boot process to halt,
leaving users with an almost stock emacs configuration. Now, users will
have a default spacemacs available to them to fix the error.
adds layer preservation.
add prompt for preferred editing style on recovery
Remove advice after first run.
add dotspacemacs/safe-load as function.
moves style prompt into dotspacemacs/init advice
add hybrid as valid editing style.
move conditional into dotspacemacs/load-file.
This sets the default distribution back to spacemacs. This is for people
who for whatever reason don't set `dotspacemacs-distribution` in their
dotfile.
Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in
the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This
change fixes#2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special
meaning in a helm pattern.
Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as
representing "more layers here".
Now the user should use `SPC f e h` helm-spacemacs.
This is due to the fact that spacemacs layer is now a regular layer
stored in the "layers" directory.
- Rename contrib directory to layers
- Add new variable dotspacemacs-distribution
- Move spacemacs layer to layers/!distribution
- New layer spacemacs-core in layers/!distribution
- User can now set dotspacemacs-distribution to spacemacs or
spacemacs-core (default spacemacs)
spacemacs-core is very lightweight layer sufficient to build upon
spacemacs.
instead of the downloaded package archive. It fixes a case where
a package maintainer removes a dependency D of a package P and spacemacs
detects it which has the effect of deleting the obsolete package D, but
package-alist is not yet updated, because package-alist is updated only
when P is reinstalled (or upgraded).
Also it is not need to pass a list, example:
```
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((auto-completion :disabled-for org git)))
```
Will disable auto-completion for org and git layers.
Example:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((auto-completion :disabled-for (org))))
Will not run any org/pre-init-xxx or org/post-init-xxx functions where
xxx is a package owned by the auto-completion layer.
Limitation:
If ownership of an auto-completion package P is stolen by another layer L
then :disabled-for must also be declared with L, otherwise the P will
be configured for org.
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((auto-completion :disabled-for (org))
(L :disabled-for (org)))
The user should not change the default owner of a layer unless really
required (for instance to use his own fork).
The test results buffer is displayed only if there are errors.
Make dotspacemacs/test-dotfile return non-nil when all the tests passed.
dotspacemacs/test-dotfile takes an optional parameter to hide the
result buffer.
Set as default unless user has dotspacemacs-use-ido t.
Adds comments to .spacemacs.template informing users of new behavior
tied to dotspacemacs-use-ido.
- configuration-layer/declare-layers
- configuration-layer/declare-layer
These functions can be used in the config.el file of a layer to add
required layers.
For instance the react layer needs both html and javascript layers.
salt layer needs the yaml layer (see the following commits)
It is now possible to override the recipe in a custom layer.
For instance to override the recipe R for package P in layer L
In a private layer L' put at the end of dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
and listing P with an init function for P, L' becomes the ower of
P and the recipe R' defined in L' overrides the recipe R.
The `package-delete` function refuses to delete a package that is a
depency by default, which prevents the spacemacs update function from
working most of the time.
This commit sets the flag to force deletion for Emacs 25.
Now it is possible to have unicode symbols in GUI and not in
terminal using emacsclient
Do to so, dotspacemacs-mode-line-unicode-symbols must be set to
the symbol 'display-graphic-p which will be lazily evaluated
via the macro dotspacemacs|symbol-value
This is especially useful for users having troubles with unicode
characters in their terminal but wants to use them in GUI client.
Allowed properties to be overridden are: location, step and excluded
This mechanism allow the user to alter the location of a given
package, for instance if she wants to use her own fork instead of the
version in ELPA.
Note that for now there is no easy way to override the package recipes.
Once all extensions were moved from "extensions" to "local",
spacemacs was no longer able to find the solarized themes.
Thanks to @TheBB for helping narrow this down!
Closes#2628
