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backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by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The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has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.
Updated the FAQ evil-escape documentation link to point to the "14.1.1 Escaping" section of the documentation, where the evil-escape function is described.
Currently the FAQ evil-escape documentation link points to http://spacemacs.org/doc/DOCUMENTATION.html#orgheadline78, which takes you to the "13.1 Layouts" section of the documentation.
spacemacs/alternate-window was suggested to switch between the last selected
window, or the window-analog of SPC TAB (spacemacs/alternate-buffer). This is
part of a larger family of functions, such as spacemacs/jump-to-last-layout on
SPC l TAB and eyebrowse-last-window-config on SPC l w TAB.
Resolves#7845
CHANGES
-------
Add new keybinding to neotree to allow the copying of nodes from the neotree
buffer. Update documentation as well.
WHY
-------
There appear to be all other common file operations bound to the neotree buffer,
however copying of a node is not.
Amend suggested fixes:
- Add chapter on key notation
- Fix document structure according to conventions
- Add note on emacs path on Windows
- Expand on evil and emacs mode explanations
- Expand on first startup procedure
- Various typo fixes and clarifications
from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyingWholeLines
Duplicate current line, or region if active.
With argument N, make N copies.
With negative N, comment out original line and use the absolute value.
keybinding: `SPC x l d` (text - line - duplicate)
Toggling the time is a segment so it is more consistent with the rest
of the lowercase keys.
Toggling the whole mode-line feels better on a capital letter.
The information about location of local packages is noted in the parent section. While this can be considered enough I kept re-reading `packages.el` and couldn't find the information. Adding the information here as well makes the section more self-contained.
I have the impression that SPC p G can be used for something more
useful regarding tags.
Tags regeneration triggers a process that can take a while to make
more sense to make it less accessible.
If there is nothing useful to be added to SPC p G we can consider
reverting this commit.
SPC j F and SPC j V don't fit the SPC j prefix because they require
the thing under point to be an Emacs lisp thing, which means that these
bindings should be major mode specific.
To replace them and accordingly to the convention the key bindings
SPC m g G in Emacs Lisp buffers has been added to go to definition
in other window.
SPC j f and SPC j v (minus letters) don't require the current buffer
to be Emacs Lisp and thus I only updated the documentation about them
mentioning that they're about Emacs Lisp variables and functions.
In the "Windows manipulation commands (start with ~w~):" section:
Added the `SPC w r` keybinding:
| ~SPC w r~ | rotate windows forward |
In the `SPC w R` keybinding description, replaced "clockwise" with "backward".
| ~SPC w R~ | rotate windows backward |
In the "Window manipulation transient state" section:
Added the`r` keybinding.
| ~r~ | rotate windows forward |
In the `R` keybinding description, added "backward"
| ~R~ | rotate windows backward |
