Sometimes it is handy to show keymaps persistently with which-key. For example,
to show navigation commands in Info-mode, gnus, eww etc. This PR implements
handy toggles and documentation for that.
Spacemacs lacks a keybinding alternative to the most natural way of scrolling
Info pages (i.e. SPC) in vanilla emacs.
Anyway, this commit adds J/K to scroll most naturally through info pages.
Currently, in Info-mode, a keybinding for J is not defined while K is bound to
evil-lookup.
Issue #2828 already adresses the inconsistent experience, and in my opinion this
can and should be improved as navigating Info pages is a very crucial part of
using Emacs.
Personally I have bound J/K to scroll page up/down in buffers/pdf/djvu/doc-view,
which I inherited from using the zathura pdf reader, and I think this is a better
default than the default vim alternatives.
Pull request #10297 made the Emacs server optional, so that it does
not start up unless the init file is modified to enable it. The
documentation, however, indicates that the opposite is true. This
fix updates the documentation to be consistent with the actual
behavior.
The newly introduced function to compile an elpa package
was very much redundant with the existing recompile-elpa function.
I have adapted recompile-elpa so that it can be used for the helm action too.
In addition I have bound recompile-elpa to `SPC c C-c` to allow users to
easily recompile their entire elpa directory if the need arises.
I have also removed the error handling in the helm action in favor of
standard error reporting via the *Compile-Log* buffer.
- Removed the word `Manipulation` from the transient state titles:
- Buffer Manipulation Transient State and Window Manipulation TS
- Expanded the TS abbreviation to Transient State
- Documented the Buffer Transient State key binding:
`q` to quit the transient state
- Capitalized `Transient State` in the titles
- Window Transient State:
- Added a line break after the title in the folded hint.
This allows for more keys to be visible horizontally.
- Moved up the [?] help key after the title, so that
it's in the same place in both the folded and full
transient state.

- added visual line navigation (w/w/o) globally keys and unicode/ascii symbol
faq.org
- updated snippet for enabling visual line navigation globally on startup
0ffdb353f9 changed the default config template to use a point size instead of a pixel size. Change the defvar declaration as well.
Commit modified by duianto:
Updated font size in doc/documentation.org
Thanks sdwolfz for the suggestion to add underscore to the transient states,
then the shift key doesn't have to be released if it was held down to press `+`.
Added key bindings:
Evil numbers:
`SPC n _` decrease number under point
in the transient state:
`j` decrease number under point
`k` increase number under point
`SPC T T _` decrease transparency
`SPC z x _` scale down font
`SPC z f _` zoom out frame
Update documentation:
Zoom frame:
`q` quit transient state
Evil numbers:
`SPC n =` increase number under point
`SPC n _` decrease number under point
`0..9` add a number prefix argument
`q` quit transient state
Fixed a typo and made a small rewrite of the tip about using a prefix argument.
Added keys to transient states:
Font scaling:
Added `_` scale down
Reordered `k` assignment to match the order in the transient state
Frame transparency:
Added `_` decrease
Reordered `k` assignment to match the order in the transient state
Evil numbers:
Added `k` increase
Added `_` and `j` decrease
Zoom frame:
Added `_` zoom frame out
Reordered `k` assignment to match the order in the transient state
Which-key entries for Evil numbers `SPC n`:
Group together keys that call the same command:
From: + and =
To: +,=
From: - and _
To: -,_
`SPC h T e` for `emacs-tutorial` (aliased from `help-with-tutorial` for a more
descriptive name)
`SPC h T v` for `evil-tutor-start`
Added a wikipedia link to the `vi` article, where the origins of modal editing
is discussed.
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.
