There was a edge case with the declaration of the `lsp` layer in `layers.el`
files.
The `hy` layer depends on the `python` layer which in turn depends on the `lsp`
layer if and only if the `python-backend` layer variable is set to `lsp`.
When the `hy` layer was declared first then it declares the `python` layer
without its layer variables, thus the `lsp` layer was not declared because the
`python-backend` variable was not set.
The fix is to gather all the layer dependencies and resolve them only after all
the used layers have been declared.
* new function `configuration-layer/declare-layer-dependencies`
* replace all calls to `configuration-layer/declare-layer` by the new function
except for distribution layers (we declare layer dependencies right away in
distribution layers)
This idea is to have the spacemacs-base distribution only configure defaults for
built-in packages. Those buit-in packages are now configured in the new layer
spacemacs-defaults.
Additionally some other packages of spacemacs-base have been dispatched to
better suiting spacemacs layers.
Projectile has been moved to the new layer spacemacs-project
- Move the following packages to bootsrap distributio layer:
- exec-path-from-shell
- evil-evilified-state
- holy-mode
- hybrid-mode
- spacemacs-theme
- ace-window has been moved to spacemacs-navigation
- centered-buffer-mode has been moved to spacemacs-editing-visual
- pcre2el has been moved to spacemacs-editing
- evil-escape and evil-visualstar have been moved to spacemacs-evil
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.
I feel like we should start from scratch on this one and carefully choose the
defaults.
Also this settings is a very personal setting so if we make some buffers
useless we must have a consensus on it. Marking all special buffers starting
with `*` as useless is too aggressive and make Spacemacs less POLA since two
consecutive press on SPC TAB may not revert to the original buffer.
`SPC b H` is available, for opening or selecting the help buffer (if it
exists). This makes it much easier to open the help buffer, than having
to open the buffer list (`SPC b b`), then typing one or more characters,
to select the help buffer, and finally pressing `RET`.
The Frame delete bindings SPC F c and C, are inconsistent with the delete window
and buffer bindings, that use: d and D
Changed the dired-other-frame binding from d to O
Add the key binding: t
to open helm-themes, without having to use the arrow up key.
Reorder/rename: cycles backward and cycles forward
to: next and previous
Next is listed first, because it's the most common action, and it matches the
order in other transient states.
Change the t argument in the call to spacemacs/cycle-spacemacs-theme, to the
symbol 'backward, to make it clear what the argument does.
Add documentation for the Themes Transient State bindings.
Original Commit List
- update cycle-spacemacs-theme function to work backward with universal arg
- add a transient-state hydra to cycle through the modes
- move the transient-state definition in the +distribution spacemacs-base
- refactor using hydra syntax for expression as command
- modified cycle-theme to handle negative command argument
- add keybing for helm-themes in the transient-state
The first improvement consists of running the scale fix only for
graphical emacs. The scale fix is not needed in the terminal. Also some
poeple still have problems with it in the terminal even though they run
latest emacs master and spacemacs develop.
The second improvement is related to the way the margins are scaled. It
was incorrect to calculate the scale factor and apply it to the current
window margin width, it needed to be applied to the initial margin
width.
This is similar to the `Ctrl+Shift+T` keybinding found in major browsers, and
helps when accidentally killing a buffer (i.e. fat-fingering `SPC b d` when
meaning to press `SPC b s`).
Only buffers that resolve to existing files will be considered, and stored in a
stack which is pushed to and popped from on buffer kill.
