evil-set-initial-state is safer than manually adding and deleting from
the lists, because it knows about all available states and ensures that
the mode only shows up in one list. If it is in multiple list the
initial state depends on which is checked first, which we don't want.
I've been introducing tons of people to Spacemacs, and most of them
always think that having to read documentation in how to add a layer is
too much.
I made this modification to make it easier to install layers.
This commit merge the `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `doc/CONTRIBUTE.org` file
into a new `CONTRIBUTING.org` file. It also refactors the content to be
more organized and make its navigation more goal-oriented.
Github displays a link to the `CONTRIBUTING.*` file when people are
opening new issues or proposing new PRs. This file is important because
it is the entry-point to contributions guidelines for most of the users.
The current setup is non-optimal, even broken, as it adds a level of
indirection, and points to a contributing file that has broken
links (due to the new documentation format). The possible drawback of
the proposed solution is that I'm not sure if it is possible to include
it into the new online documentation as it is not in `doc/` folder.
The other possibility is to keep a small `CONTRIBUTING.md` file, as it
is now, pointing to the new documentation system (once online), but I'm
preferring the proposed solution for the following reasons:
- People that are willing to contribute will probably open Github
first (for forking, creating PR, etc), not the online documentation.
- It has one level of indirection less when people click on the
guidelines guide from a new issue/PR.
- `CONTRIBUTING.*` is by convention a special kind of file on github, so
it's valid reason to break the rule and not having it in the `doc/`
folder.
Correct a bug in helm-spacemacs: Whenever a function was needing the
FAQ's candidates in helm-spacemancs (`SPC f e h` and `SPC f e f`), the
`FAQ.org` file was open in a buffer and not closed. This commit corrects
this by loading the content of `FAQ.org` in a temp buffer and switch it
to `org-mode` in order to get the candidates.
Add the `FAQ.org` file as a source in helm-spacemacs (`SPC f e h`).
Define a new keybinding for looking directly inside the FAQ with helm:
`SPC f e f`.
With help from TheBB, thanks!
