I'm not sure how best to start doing this, but the branch over at
timor:spacemacsOS has moved ahead a bit. I've grown used to a lot of these
changes, and would like to see them moved to the main develop branch. But, the
pull request (formed by merging in CestDiego:spacemacs/SpacemacsOS in #3321)
started diverging.
Again, I'm not sure how to approach moving together these two changes. Maybe
@timor can help somehow??
This at the least moves in some little things from Timor's branch:
- Can enable exwm-systemtray with `exwm-enable-systray`
- Can enable running XDG autostart applications (only in XDG_USER_HOME/autostart
for now) with `exwm-autostart-xdg-applications`
- Support for reading `.desktop` files and XDG autostart.
- Can specify additional code appended to exwm-init hook with `exwm-custom-init`
---
This PR also fixed some other existing issues, and improved documentation.

`first` and `list-length` are aliases for `car` and `cl-list-length`
respectively. Using these aliases causes emacs to error with a `symbol's function
definition is void` error, but using their real names causes no error.
Replaced them with `car` and `length`.
* Add Emacs Window Manager (EXWM) Layer
The time has come of SpacemacsOS
* set window manager name to EXWM
* update copyright notice
* start server when EXWM is active
When using EXWM, Emacs should be ready to receive clients but the final choice
should be the user's in their shell configuration.
* respect Spacemacs naming conventions and layer organization
* leave keyboard remapping to users
* add EXWM states for Evil
* add support for helm-exwm when helm is in use
* use both exwm-randr and exwm-systemtray
* set up workspaces to match displays by default
* use ido-config instead of the deprecated workaround
When using helm-exwm, its sources distinguish title and class automatically. It
is only necessary to keep the buffer name updated when the window title changes.
When using ido, rename differently for different applications.
* add bindings for common X keys
* use standard prefix commands where available
Spacemacs already has prefix commands for controlling windows.
These are directly available in exwm-state as well as in exwm-insert-state
through leader
* remove most keybindings as they are available directly in exwm-state
* enable exwm directly in the layer configuration
It is safe to enable it here as an existing window manager will simply fail with
a warning.
* add user-configurable variables for RandR and workspaces
By default, create as many workspaces as there are displays and assign them in
RandR order.
* fix naming convention for variables
* use helm for launching applications when possible
* fix conditional helm-exwm leader keys
* remove redundant function
EXWM provides the equivalent
* conform to naming convention for Spacemacs
* separate prefix commands into those for major mode and global
* remove all default bindings
* improve readability
* clean up bindings
* remove obsolete comments

Update README.org and add spacemacs-purpose layer to spacemacs
distribution.
Move functions of the layer to funcs.el and prefix variables and
functions introduced by the layer with `spacemacs`.
- Proper integration with popwin
- Integrate with Helm via helm-purpose
- Integrate with Ivy via ivy-purpose
- Integrate with opening a new eyebrowse workspace
- Enable purpose-x-kill: purpose-aware replacement of a window's buffer
when a buffer is killed
This was asked for in the gitter chat. I thought at first it would be
great for when people wanted to open many perspectives at the same time,
but now I don't think the same. It'd be very hard to modify the macro
for adding custom layouts to make this argument optional, so I leave it
at @syl20bnr discretion.
we want to call workspaces-transient-state vs workspaces-micro-state.
this was probably just an oversight, but nonetheless keeps the fn from
working properly and needs to be updated.
- port helm-perspectives
- port persp switch buffer
- port persp-close[kill]-other to use ivy
- layouts-ts: Make help more consistent
- layouts-ts: Reorganize docstring
Instead of one big list, try to organize into sections to make it easier
to find the right key
Also:
- switch spacemacs layouts to the same.
- Add “wD” for ace-delete-window
- switch window dedication toggle to “wt”
- all documentation has been updated to reflect these changes
Closes#5031
Switching between layouts didn't save the tag of any (eyebrowse)
workspace, resulting in transient workspace tags. This fixes it so tags
are saved correctly.
