Many new users (quite logically) assume that the additional-packages list
behaves like installing a layer, so they assume the file is also loaded
automatically. This commit adds info about the requirement to also load the
package with load/require/use-package in the user-config section of the dotfile.
The new variable was not following the naming conventions.
The file was not initialised in core-dotspacemacs.el.
The file was not part of the .spacemacs.template.
To optimise performance of lsp mode in emacs 27 and above
I have introduced a new dotfile variable to define the size
of data read from external processes. The default I have
set to the recommended setting from lsp-mode.
In addition I have introduced a new layer variable for
auto-complete-layer to define the minimum prefix length.
I have also added instructions to auto-complete's readme
how to set these variables to the recommended settings
for lsp-mode.
Changes inspired from #13507
There have been complains about issues with `clean-aindent-mode` from
multiple users. For some of these deactivating the mode in their user-init
did not work as intended. Therefore I have added a setting for it in the
dotfile.
13 and 10.0 are visually the same, because:
- Integer specifies the pixel size.
- Floating-point specifies the point size.
Using a default floating-point size has two benefits:
- It's clear that the font size can be changed by floating-point values.
- There won't be an unpleasant surprise that `13` and `13.0` are different
sizes. For example to make the font slightly larger or smaller than `13`.
Then `10.0` has to be found first by trial and error.
Remove mention of powerline-scale property from the
.spacemacs.template font variable comment.
Update the changelog.develop entry for the mode line
separator scale when the utf-8 separator is used.
Emacs 26 added built-in support for line numbers, relative line numbers, and
visual line numbers. Spacemacs supports only absolute and relative, but there is
no way to access the visual mode. It's hard to get around this, since Spacemacs
abstracts line numbers to a reasonably high degree.
Arguably, `visual` is much more useful than `relative` as a display type. Visual
line numbers are like relative line numbers, but only lines that are actually
showing are counted. This means:
1. Hidden lines are not counted. If a large amount of text is folded, the line
numbers won't jump from "10" to "546". This is particularly useful in
buffers like `magit-status`, where a large amount of information is folded
by default.
2. Lines that are wrapped are counted as multiple lines, since they're being
displayed as multiple lines in the editor. Each visual line will be
numbered - unlike `relative`, where the entire thing is numbered... Once.
With standard relative line numbers, you can't actually navigate using the line
numbers in the sidebar as soon as folded or wrapped lines are introduced. Since
this is one of the main use cases for relative line numbers, this is a big
problem.
Visual mode fixes that problem. Every line that's being displayed is labelled.
Numbers always correspond to the actual number of lines you'd need to navigate
to reach that line.
This commit extends Spacemacs' line number interface to provide visual line
number support.
New var: dotspacemacs-new-empty-buffer-major-mode
Set to a symbol naming a mode (e.g. 'text-mode) to apply that major mode to any
buffers newly created in Spacemacs by spacemacs/new-empty-buffer.
Fixes#12382.
`SPC f e f` key binding is no more present, so moved that table entry to
`SPC h f` in DOCUMENTATION.org.
corrected description of paste transient-state behavior.
Lexical binding is easier to reason about and it's generally recommended for new code. It's faster too.
Dynamic scoping can lead to tricky situations. Example: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/10394/scope-in-lambda
This probably won't break existing code. Most people don't even know the default is dynamic binding.
