Enabling a company backend for a specific mode was a tedious tasks with code
scattered at different locations, one for local variable definitions, one for
company hook function definitions and another where the backends were pushed to
the local variables (which was problematic, since we ended up pushing the same
backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by
add-to-list calls in the new macro).
All these steps are now put together at one place with the new macro
spacemacs|add-company-backends, check its docstring for more info on its
arguments.
This macro also allows to define arbitrary buffer local variables to tune
company for specific modes (similar to layer variables via a keyword :variables)
The code related to company backends management has been moved to the
auto-completion layer in the funcs.el file. A nice side effect of this move is
that it enforces correct encapsulation of company backends related code. We can
now easily detect if there is some configuration leakage when the
auto-completion layer is not used. But we loose macro expansion at file loading
time (not sue it is a big concern though).
The function spacemacs|enable-auto-complete was never used so it has been
deleted which led to the deletion of the now empty file core-auto-completion.el.
The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has
been deleted. An example to setup auto-completion is provided in the README.org
file of the auto-completion layer.

As an absolute beginner, this took a while to figure out, and eventually required reading through Cider's source files.
Currently, there must be a build.boot file present - an empty one works - if you want to start a repl through cider with boot.

Hook semantic is to be used with run-hooks API and run all hooks
sequentially, jump list semantic is different since the running
functions are not guaranteed to be executed so we prefer using regular
list API to manage jump-lists.
- Add option to disable by default
- Use local-vars hook to allow per-project enable/disable
- Don’t enable helm-gtags-mode (no need)
- Move emacs bindings from helm-gtags-mode-map to ggtags-mode-map
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.
clojure-defun-style-default-indent has been deprecated in favor of
clojure-indent-style. This is no longer a toggle but one of three
keywords. As it affects the way code is indented, and you should not
need to change your indentation style multiple times while editing, it
should not be a toggle. It's simple enough for the user to setq it to
desired value.
If desired, it may be added back as a completing-read selection (but I
don't think it's necessary).
Error was caused by unnecessarily wrapping cider test fns in
spacemacs//cider-eval-in-repl-no-focus. Test fns do not move focus to
repl anyways, and it caused a wrong-type-argument error.
The added bindings are to more closely match cider bindings (under C-c
C-t). Now spacemacs cider test fns mirror the cider ones.
Hybrid means vim-like in normal and emacs-like in insert. This is a
normal-state compatibility tweak (has no effect on insert-state
bindings), so it belongs.
The previous installation instructions suggested that you install lein
via your OS package manager, but since the minimum required version to
run the plugins is 2.5.2 and some OS package managers are still
packaging versions in 1.x, linking to the official install instructions
is better.

Motivation
While disabling Evil in holy-mode makes its implementation shorter and
sounds elegant on the paper, in practice it puts a big burden on the
configuration parts which need to know if Evil is enable or not. This is
a bad separation of concerns and the bunch of fixes that we were forced
to do in the past weeks shows this issue. Those fixes were about
removing the knowledge of the activation of Evil by implementing new
dispatching functions to be used by layers, this is cumbersome and makes
Spacemacs layer configuration more subtle which is not good. There was
additional bad consequences of the removal of Evil state like the
impossibility to use Evil lisp state or iedit states, or we would have
been forced to implement a temporary activation of Evil which is
awkward.
Instead I reintroduce Evil as the central piece of Spacemacs design thus
Evil is now re-enabled in holy-mode. It provides the abstraction we need
to isolate editing styles and be able to grow the Spacemacs
configuration coverage sanely. Layers don't need to check whether the
holy mode is active or not and they don't need to know if Evil is
available (it is always available). We also don't need to write
additional dispatching functions, this is the job of Evil, and I think
it provides everything for this. Ideally configuration layer should be
implemented with only Evil in mind and the holy-mode (and hybrid-mode)
should magically make it work for Emacs style users, for instance we can
freely use `evil-insert-state` anywhere in the code without any guard.
Evil is now even more part of Spacemacs, we can really say that
Spacemacs is Emacs+Evil which is now an indivisible pair. Spacemacs
needed this stable API to continue on the right track.
While these changes should be rather transparent to the user, I'm sorry
for this experimental period, I failed to see all the implications of
such a change, I was just excited about the possibility to make Evil
optional. The reality is that Spacemacs has to embrace it and keep its
strong position on being Emacs+Evil at the core.
Implementation
- insert, motion and normal states are forced to emacs state using an
advice on `evil-insert-state`, `evil-motion-state` and
`evil-normal-state` respectively. These functions can be used freely in
the layer configuration.
- A new general hook `spacemacs-editing-style-hook` allow to hook any
code that need to be configured based on the editing style. Functions
hooked to this hook takes the current style as parameter, this
basically generalize the hook used to setup hjkl navigation bindings.
- ESC has been removed from the emacs state map.
- Revert unneeded changes
- Revert "evil: enter insert-state only from normal-state"
commit bdd702dfbe.
- Revert "avoid being evil in deft with emacs editing style"
commit f3a16f49ed.
Additional changes
All editing style packages have been moved to a layer called
`spacemacs-editing-styles`
Notes
I did not have time to attack hybrid mode, I should be able to do it
later.
`spacemacs` now handles `rainbow-delimiters-mode` by adding it to the
`prog-mode-hook`, if wanted by the user. Some layers are adding it on
their own mode-hook, having for effect that `rainbow-delimiters-mode` is
called twice, which disable it.
This commit remove these layer-specific definitions of
`rainbow-delimiters` as it is now handled by the `spacemacs`
distribution. It also takes care of running `prog-mode-hook` in modes
that are not derived from it.
