By convention, jump back should be on `b`, not `u`
Since `SPC j u` is free, move as well `SPC j U` to `SPC j u`.
`SPC j b` for bookmark jump is already available under `SPC f b`
To follow with the refactor of the holy-mode which uses the
emacs state of evil mode, the hybrid mode now uses the evil hybrid
state.
We have now a clean symmetry between all the editing styles where each
of them has an associated state:
- vim = insert state
- emacs = emacs state
- hybrid = hybrid state
This gives consistent properties to all editing styles and most
importantly allows to have true isolation of key binding maps. It has
the huge benefit to be easier to explain since now everything can
leverage the evil API regarding key bindings.
Note: Regular Emacs key binding functions can still be used for emacs
and hybrid states so there is no regression with the previous
implementation, we just gain better isolation at the cost of a few
duplicated lines of code which will be easy to update as needed if
evil upstream code changes (this code has been commented with a link
to the upstream code).
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.
This keeps the keybinding specific to the visual-line minor mode, and
fixes#5418. Reverting the bindings on the :off toggle is no longer
necessary as well, turning off visual-line-mode will handle it.
1. The register name should be a character not a symbol.
2. Combine toggle-maximize-centered-buffer and bzg-big-fringe-mode to
make new minor mode that combines the two effects.
3. Fix problem where the mode could only be enabled if there was more
than one window, which makes no sense.
4. Use window-configuration-to-register function
Introduce hjkl-completion-navigation-functions to hold the functions to
disable and enable hjkl navigation for ivy and/or helm. The hook is run
with args to indicate whether to enable or disable.
Also:
- switch spacemacs layouts to the same.
- Add “wD” for ace-delete-window
- switch window dedication toggle to “wt”
- all documentation has been updated to reflect these changes
Closes#5031
- Don't explicitly list commands (they are autoloaded)
- Move xgl binding from keybindings.el
- Don't explicitly require the default-ui feature (not necessary)
- Set variables in init instead of config (easier to change for users)
Bind it to `SPC h d d` as it's a way to describe a lot of elements:
- commands
- functions
- classes
- generic functions
- variables
- faces
- helm-attributes
Is also bound on `SPC F1` and will also stay there.
`SPC j j` is now for avy-goto-char (SPC SPC in 0.105)
`SPC j J` is for avy-goto-char-2
`SPC j s` is for splitting strings or sexps
`SPC j S` is for splitting strings of sexps, insert new line and indent
`SPC j n` is to split line at point, insert new line and indent
Use mnemonic j for jumping commands. Although some of these commands
exist in other places, they are duplicated here when they don't
conflict.
Add:
1. jb for bookmark-jump
2. jc for avy char jump
3. jd for dired-jump
4. jD for dired-jump-other-window
5. jf for find-function-at-point
6. ji for spacemacs/jump-in-buffer (imenu)
7. jI for helm imenu in all buffers
8. jl for avy go to line
9. ju for avy-pop-mark (u for "undo")
10. jU for spacmacs/avy-goto-url
11. jv for find-variable-at-point
12. jw for avy go to word or subword
Move:
1. jh to j0 (push mark and go to beginning of line)
1. jl to j$ (push mark and go to end of line)
