Given the loading process of Spacemacs we have no choice but to set the
custom settings twice:
- once at the very beginning of startup
- once at the very end of loading
The first application of custom settings is to be sure that Emacs knows all the
defined settings before saving them to a file (otherwise we loose all the
settings that Emacs does not know of).
The second application is to override any settings set in dotfile functions
like `dotspacemacs/user-config`, users expect the custom settings to be the
effective ones.
This double loading issue is independent from the managment method used for
custom settings. Even with a separate custom-settings file explicitly loaded in
the dotfile we would have been forced to load this file twice to acheive the
expected result described here.
Note: Loading custom-settings twice is not ideal since they can have side
effects! Maybe an inhibit variable in Emacs can supress these side effects?
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
This commit defines:
- spacemacs-default-jump-handlers: a list of functions that can jump to
definition in ALL modes.
- spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE: a list of functions that can jump to
definition in MODE.
- spacemacs-jump-handlers: a buffer-local list of functions that can
jump to definition. This is made up of the values of the two previous
variables whenever a given major mode is activated.
- spacemacs/jump-to-definition: a function that tries each function in
spacemacs-jump-handlers in order, and stops when one of them takes us
somewhere new.
- spacemacs|define-jump-handlers: a macro that
* defines spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE, possibly filled with initial
functions
* defines a function that is added to the hook of the given MODE
* binds “SPC m g g” of that MODE to spacemacs/jump-to-definition
This is an attempt to harmonize all the different approaches to jumping.
Specifically,
- Existing intelligent jump packages that work for only a single mode
should go to the beginning of spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE. E.g.
anaconda for python, ensime for scala, etc.
- Packages like gtags that work for several modes (but potentially not
all) and which is dumber than the intelligent jumpers should go the
the END of spacemacs-jump-handlers-MODE.
- Packages like dumb-jump that work for all modes should go to
spacemacs-default-jump-handlers.
In all cases the order of the jump handlers in each list should be from
most to least intelligent.

Helm-flx, which is included as a core package, requires a minimum Emacs
version of 24.4. As it stands attempting to install Spacemacs on Emacs
24.3 or below will break on helm-flx.
Revert "Parse CLI args after dotspacemacs/init"
This reverts commit 0a35502de4.
We cannot delay the parsing of CLI params since we need their values
early during the loading process (i.e. debug info).
Replace the previous commit with a new variable `spacemacs-insecure`
which takes the value of --insecure boolean parameter.
spacemacs/report-issue opens a buffer prepopulated with a template and some
system information. The buffer is markdown-mode augmented with a keybinding to
send the contents to github.
Or if that doesn't work, the text remains in the buffer to be manually copied
and pasted. This makes the error reporting more robust: right after the user has
experienced one bug is the worst time to manifest another one.
This commit also rewrites spacemacs//describe-last-keys-string because I
couldn't figure out how else to prevent view-lossage from burying the new
REPORT_SPACEMACS_ISSUE buffer. Suggestions welcome.
If emacs is launched with -q option and spacemacs files are loaded via
--eval option, then spacemacs fails due to depending `after-init-time'
variable being set properly which is done only when emacs is launched
without -q. This patch is to remove this dependence so that spacemacs
launched with -q can still work. This is done by introducing
`spacemacs-initialized' variable which is set properly regardless of
which command line options are present or absent.
New package :step 'bootstrap', this step happens before 'pre' packages.
A new layer names 'spacemacs-bootstrap' gather all the ':step bootstrap'
packages. This layer is special and is always the first element of
the variable 'configuration-layer--layers' which assure that all
bootstrap packages are configured first.
This new layer leverages the configuration layer system, removes the
clutter of package installations in the function 'spacemacs/init' and
isolate the bootstrap packages in one place.
Add function that can be used to defer execution until after
dotspacemacs/user-config is run. If it has already been run the function
executes immediately.
Initially this is only used for deferring the definitions of
transient-states.
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

Background: `C-i` and `TAB` are the same keycode for historic reasons.
With the current settings, evil [1] and evil-jumper [2] associate
`jump-forward` to `C-i` (==`TAB`), what overrides bindings set to
`TAB` (==`C-i`) in terminal mode, like `orc-cycle`. To fix this,
this commit:
- Set `evil-want-C-i-jump` to `nil`, to prevent `evil` and `evil-jumper`
to use the `C-i` (==`TAB`) keycode.
- Remove the spacemacs' code that bind `jump-forward` to `TAB`(==`C-i`)
The current spacemacs code already rebind `jump-forward` to the GUI-only
`<C-i>` keycode.

Please check this, but this does the trick for me to fix#4057. The
reason I'm not sure about it is I don't know what the purpose of the
do-after-display-system-init code is. It doesn't seem necessary for me,
and I'm testing this on the GUI version.
Note that any non Emacsy command line parameter and non processed
command line parameter (that is unknown from Spacemacs) will hide the
home buffer. This should be good enough.
Fixes#4057
Add macro to wrap things that depend on the display being
initialized (and a frame active), such as getting the font. Advise the
`server-create-window-system-frame` function which is called by
emacsclient when creating a window-system frame. This is only run the
first time a frame is created, so the advice removes itself.
Fixes: syl20bnr/spacemacs#299 and syl20bnr/spacemacs#1894
(Among others)
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
package-refresh-packages was called every time a bootstrap package or
a theme was installed
Use configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives to install bootstrap
packages and themes
Add a reentrance boolean to configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives
Add force and quiet optional arguments to configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives
Force refresh of archive when the user requests an update of packages
Add request.el to core/libs
Refactor package.el initialization in configuration-layer.el
Cosmetic improvements to loading messages
Remove redefinition of package-refresh-packages
New file core-emacs-ext.el
This is a basic monkey-patch solution but it will do the job for now.
The timeout amount is not configurable for now.
Tested on 24.5 and 24.3.1
fixes#3284
This pre-command-hook translates the special key to the corresponding
emacs function key. This effects only happens in terminal, this hook is
a no-op in GUI.
By doing this we attempt to bring more consistency between the GUI
and the terminal regarding TAB and RET keys.
spacemacs/set-key
spacemacs/set-key-for-state
These functions find normalized keys which should handle as sanely as
possible the GUI and the terminal.
See docstring of spacemacs//normalize-key for more info.
1. Make sure debug-on-error stays on
2. Force verbose loading
3. Detect long requires and loads (with --timed-requires)
4. Start profiler (with --profile)
