If dotspacemacs-auto-generate-layout-names is non-nil, and the user
tries to open a layout in a position that doesn't yet have a layout,
then create a new layout with an automatically generated name.
It is now possible to use package properties like :location in
dotspacemacs-themes.
Added hooks ran at the beginning and end of configuration-layer/sync:
- configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook
- configuration-layer-post-sync-hook
configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook is used to hook the new function
spacemacs//add-theme-packages-to-additional-packages. This new function updates
dotspacemacs--additional-theme-packages variables.
Update documentation to mention the new feature.
Add all theme packages defined in dotspacemacs-themes to the variable
dotspacemacs-additional-packages and delay the application of user theme at the
end of startup (only when user theme cannot be applied at the very beginning
of Emacs startup).
This has nice properties:
- we leverage the layer system to handle the theme packages installation and
cleanup.
- theme packages are automatically owned by the dotfile preventing them from
being garbage collected.
- the protected package mechanism is now obsolete since themes were the last
packages using it. This mechanism may be removed in a near future.
Thanks to TheBB for the initial idea.
New function `dotspacmacs/emacs-custom-settings` wrapping Emacs
custom settings sexps.
`dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings` is called just after the user
configuration (`dotspacemacs/user-config`)
Customize cannot write its auto-generated sexps inside a function, to
accomplish this we trick Emacs by setting the custom file to a file
in `.cache` directory, the path to this file is defined by the variable
`spacemacs--custom-file`. At the startup of Emacs we read this file
to insert its content inside the function
`dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings` in the dotfile, this is done in the
function `spacemacs/write-custom-settings-to-dotfile`.
I don't think we need to write the custom settings to the dotfile when
exiting Emacs as well, since we do it at startup at the very beginning
(i.e. before actually loading the dotfile) we should be OK.
Fixes#5170
With a nil value for dotspacemacs-switch-to-buffer-prefers-purpose,
switch-to-buffer prefers using the current window, same as vanilla
Emacs. With a non-nil value, switch-to-buffer prefers another window
with the same purpose as the buffer. This affects actions like
spacemacs/alternate-buffer, and opening buffers from Dired.
Rename dotspacemacs-download-packages to dotspacemacs-install-packages
to better reflect the changes in the previous commit.
Also change the value 'used to 'used-only (note that 'used is still
supported for backward compatibility).
For emacs 24.5 packages will be installed in .emacs.d/elpa/24.5, for
emacs 24.4 packages will be installed in .emacs.d/elpa/24.4, etc.
For a user that uses several emacs versions with the same config, the
packages for version X will be in .emacs.d/elpa/X and the packages for
version Y will be in .emacs.d/elpa/Y. This is instead of using the same
.emacs.d/elpa and possibly having copmiled elisp packages the are
incompatible with one of the emacs versions in use.
Rollback directories are also separated by version:
.cache/.rollback/24.5, .cache/.rollback/24.4, etc.
Don't fallback to default init file when SPACMACSDIR is used and
$SPACEMACSDIR/init.el doesn't exist. The file will be created during
the startup process.
TL;DR Should get 20~25% speed improvement on startup, should get a big
improvement when using ivy or helm SPC h SPC. Users with layers.el files
in their layers must use `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
instead of `configuration-layer/declare-layer`
The implementation of the layer system made heavy use of `object-assoc`
and `object-assoc-list` functions which are not efficient. This PR
mainly replaces those object lists with hash maps in order to index the
objects by their name and achieve an O(1) access time.
The old object lists `configuration-layer--layers` and
`configuration-layer--packages` have been each by two variables each:
- `configuration-layer--indexed-layers` which is a hash-map of all the
layer objects and `configuration-layer--used-layers` which is a list of
all _used_ layers symbols,
- symmetrically `configuration-layer--indexed-packages` which is a
hash-map of all the package objects and
`configuration-layer--used-packages` which is a list of all _used_
packages symbols.
The hash map `configuration-layer--layer-paths` is gone, now we create
directly layer objects when discovering the layers and set the :dir
property. Note that previously the layer paths were the parent directory
of the layer, now :dir is the layer path.
The function `configuration-layer//make-layer` is now similar to its
counterpart `configuration-layer//make-package` in the sense that it
takes an optional `obj` to be able to override its properties.
The functions `configuration-layer/declare-layer` and
`configuration-layer/declare-layers` now takes an optional parameter
`usedp` in order to declare used or not used layers. For convenience
new functions have been added: `configuration-layer/declare-used-layer`
and `configuration-layer/declare-used-layers`, users _must_ update all
occurrences of `configuration-layer/declare-layer` by
`configuration-layer/declare-used-layers` in their `layers.el` files.
`helm-spacemacs-help` and `ivy-spacemacs-help` are updated to match the
changes in `core-configuration-layer.el`.
Rename some variables to make them more explicit:
`configuration-layer-no-layer` -> `configuration-layer-exclude-all-layers`
`configuration-layer-distribution` -> `configuration-layer-force-distribution`
- make it clear that setting dotspacemacs-default-font has no effect in
terminal
- make it clear that it's user responsibility to install Source Code Pro

* 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'
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`.
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.
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.
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$
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)
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
dotspacemacs-default-layout-name is only to set the name
new variable dotspacemacs-display-default-layout controls the display
of the default layout in the mode-line
- Rename micro-states to "layouts"
- Rename some functions to include "layout" instead of "perspective"
- cleanup variables
- move functions to funcs.el
- move package specific stuff to post-init functions
- changes key bindings
- micro-state documentation rewrite
- change format of the layouts line in the micro-state doc
- defer loading of persp-mode which loads with `SPC l`
- always display the spacemacs home buffer with no switch
- various fixes
- various new bugs :-)
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.
`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`».
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.
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.
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".
- 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.
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.
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.
