This allows to navigate between params using the '{' and '}' paragraph movements
and makes it clearer wether description is for the variable below or above.
Since we have now a variable for the mode-line theme, it makes sense to move
the scaling of the mode-line to this variable. Thus the property
=:powerline-scale= of variable dotspacemacs-default-font has been removed and
it is replace by the property =:separator-scale= used in the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme=.
This commit also adds a the property =:sperator= for the variable
=dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme= which allows to set the separator type.
Example of the final result:
dotspacemacs-mode-line-theme '(all-the-icons
:separator cup
:separator-scale 1.5)
Documentation has been updated to reflect the changes.
New layer variable `dotspacemacs-mode-line-themes`:
Set the theme for the Spaceline. Supported themes are `spacemacs',
`all-the-icons', `custom', `vim-powerline' and `vanilla'. The first three
are spaceline themes. `vanilla' is default Emacs mode-line. `custom' is a
user defined themes, refer to the DOCUMENTATION.org for more info on how
to create your own spaceline theme."
See DOCUMENTATION.org changes for more info.
This commit adds support for `spaceline-all-the-icons` package.
With this commit, the new loading order for package configuration is:
- pre-init functions for all packages
- init function of all packages
- post-init functions for all packages
Escape left and right bracket character literals to avoid the following
warning:
Loading ‘core-dotspacemacs’: unescaped character literals `?[', `?]' detected!
Delete the quote preceding the lambda in spacemacs|add-toggle to avoid
the following warning:
.emacs.d/core/core-toggle.el: (lambda (x) ...) quoted with ' rather than with #'
While #' would be more correct than ', there is no need to quote the
lambda at all.
Modify macro spacemacs|add-toggle to create additional sets of functions for
each supported modes when the toggle is major mode specific.
A toggle is major mode specific when it is bound to keys using the keyword
:evil-leader-for-mode
Updare documentation to add a section on toggles in the Spacemacs concepts.
- Change nameless prefix to > instead of default :
- Change toggle to SPC m >
- Set nameless separator to nil in order to make it work with any type or separator
- Add diminish unicode ⧁
- Define some default global aliases for Spacemacs source code
- Rename layer variable emacs-lisp-nameless-mode to emacs-lisp-hide-namespace-prefix
- Make variable nameless-current-name safe as a local variable for string values
- Set nameless prefix for core-configuration-layer.el
If non-nil then Spacelpa repository is the primary source to install
a locked version of packages. If nil then Spacemacs will install the lastest
version of packages from MELPA. (default nil)
The default value will be true when we bust all the major bugs.
New variable configuration-layer-elpa-subdirectory set in .lock file.
Now users creating a branch based on develop or master won't reinstall
all the packages in a new elpa directory.
Use const input for function configuration-layer/elpa-directory
New const variables used as input:
- configuration-layer--elpa-root-directory
- configuration-layer--rollback-root-directory
Fix computation of elpa directory by using expand-file-name.
Fixes#9805
New dotfile variable dotspacemacs-verify-spacelpa-archives
Default value is nil for now, users wanting to help testing this feature can
set it to t and delete the directory ~/.emacs.d/.cache/stable-elpa and restart
Emacs to download the Spacelpa archive and verify it.
Update function configuration-layer/stable-elpa-download-tarball to download
signature files as well.
Update function configuration-layer//stable-elpa-untar-archive to verify the
downloaded archive using epg library.
Example of signature files can be found here:
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa/releases/tag/v0.300
New function spacemacs-buffer/error that gather all the errors and then display
them in the startup buffer under a new list entry `Errors:`.
Add shortcut `e` to go to errors list entry.
New private function configuration-layer//error to wrap spacemacs-buffer/error
and increment the startup error count that is displayed in a red mode-line when
startup process finishes.
Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.
address: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa
ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.
Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.
BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.
I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:
(setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
Set it to emacs-version as it is the saner defaults here. When updating the
version of emacs, packages should be byte-recompiled. Thus this is safer to
isolate each package by emacs-version.
Change meaningful values of BACKWARD argument to just nil and non-nil.
Get rid of spacemacs--cycle-themes, it was unnecessary.
Create a defvar for spacemacs--cur-theme.

The default value is now at the distribution level. The user must put the ivy
layer explicitly in the dotfile.
This to be consistent with filetree package which is neotree by default in
the standard spacemacs distribution.
I'm afraid that we add too much wizard questions as the helm/ivy case will
happen more and more in the future. Neotree and Treemacs are the first layers
to follow the Helm and Ivy pattern. I don't want to add a fourth question to
the wizard which makes it heavy and is not as useful for new users.
Shadowing is now control by layer property ':can-shadow' only.
can-shadow is a commutative relation, if layer1 can shadow layer2 then layer2
can shadow layer1.
the shadow operator is a binary operator accepting two layer names, it is not
commutative and the order of the operands is determined by the order of the
layers in the dotfile (like the ownership stealing mechanism).
If ':can-shadow' is set explicity to nil in the dotfile then the layer won't
shadow any layer.
For instance to install both ivy and helm layer:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
ivy
(helm :can-shadow nil)
)
note that due to the commutative relation the above example can also be
written (in this case, ':can-shadow' should be read ':can-be-shawdowed'):
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
(ivy :can-shadow nil)
helm
)
Layers can now declare in their layers.el file that they shadow one or more
layers using the following functions:
- configuration-layer/shadow-layers
- configuration-layer/shadow-layer
Those function are commutative so:
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer1 'layer2)
is the same as
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer2 'layer1)
and means that
layer1 shadows layer2
and
layer2 shadows layer1
The typical use-case is helm and ivy layers. Helm shadows the ivy layer and
Ivy shadows the helm layer.
Shadowing is sensitive to the order of declaration of layers in the dotfile,
for instance:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
helm
ivy
))
means that ivy shadows helm so helm layer is effectively ignored,
whereas
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
helm
))
means that helm shadows ivy so ivy layer is effectively ignored.
This mechanism can be turned off using the :can-shadow keyword:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
(helm :can-shadow nil)
))
means that both ivy and helm layers will be installed (not recommended in this
case)
Note that the `:can-shadow` mechanism will be fully implemented in a next
commit.
- remove variable configuration-layer--used-distant-packages
- rename function configuration-layer//get-distant-packages to
configuration-layer//filter-distant-packages to better reflect what it does
- Add argument PREDICATE to configuration-layer//filter-distant-packages
- New cfgl-package methods: cfgl-package-used-p and cfgl-package-distant-p
- Add unit tests
Add `(default X)` comment to almost all dotspacemacs variables in
dotspacemacs/init function in the template. Exempted are variables with long
default values. (e.g. dotspacemacs-themes)
Remove `(default X)` from doctsring of dotspacemacs variables. It isn't
necessary, the built-in help system already displays the default value
automatically.
Fix some minor grammar and spelling mistakes.
"micro-state" was the previous name for "transient-state".
Reword the sentence and quote the kill-ring variable.
Duplicate the docstring to the dotspacemacs-enable-paste-transient-state
variables docstring in core-dotspacemacs.el.
Replace the optional argument `no-install` by a global variable named
`spacemacs-sync-packages`.
Rename the hooks to reflect the renaming of the function.
Rename the flag `--no-sync` to the more explicit `--no-package-sync`
This adds a new startup flag `--skip-sync`. It will force spacemacs to skip
package synchonization. This can be useful in cases when you're working under
poor or restrictive network.
Thanks, @zaript, for this idea!
This replaces the older pattern
:toggle (configuration-layer/package-usedp ..)
This implementation ensures that :disabled-for honors dependent packages, i.e.
if package a depends on package b, which is owned by layer c, and layer c is
disabled for layer d, then neither package a nor b will be configured for layer
d. Previously, this was only true for package a, but not b.
This commit also fixes:
- configuration-layer/describe-package now shows which post-init and pre-init
functions are disabled, if any
- Does not recreate all layer objects unconditionally when calling
configuration-layer/discover-layers. Previously, this led to all layers being
recreated after e.g. `SPC h SPC`, without any of the dotfile information.
Since this information is now necessary for
configuration-layer/describe-package, it’s important that we don’t clear the
indexed layers when invoking this function.
Problem:
Two which-key functions doc-strings, state that they are obsolete:
(which-key-declare-prefixes KEY-SEQUENCE REPLACEMENT &rest MORE)
This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;
use ‘which-key-add-key-based-replacements’ instead.
(which-key-declare-prefixes-for-mode MODE KEY-SEQUENCE REPLACEMENT &rest MORE)
This function is obsolete since 2016-10-05;
use ‘which-key-add-major-mode-key-based-replacements’ instead.
Solution:
Replace the obsolete functions.
Searching with `SPC /` through the .emacs.d folder, didn't find any other
occurrences of these functions.
A recent change in the `.spacemacs.template` made it so that the
`dotspacemacs-configuration-layers` variable name can be found inside a
comment right before the expression that sets it's value. This makes the
lazy insertion fail to detect the proper place to add lazy loaded
layers.
This fix solves the immediate problem but maybe a better solution can
be found.
This is an attempt to tighten up the language of the docstrings for
initialization and configuration functions. I realize that's pretty
subjective, so please only use what makes sense. Below is a break-
down to avoid seeming _too_ arbitrary.
Rationale
---------
Headings: We know they're functions, so we don't need to say
'X function'. 'Layer configuration' is called that in the other
functions.
Instructions: Say what I should do.
Other: `dotspacemacs/init' -- 'very beginning' is the more common
English idiom.
If I sound strident, it's just 'cause I'm trying to be terse.
This is all opinion so YMMV. I hope it helps.
If dotspacemacs-auto-generate-layout-names is non-nil, and the user
tries to open a layout in a position that doesn't yet have a layout,
then create a new layout with an automatically generated name.
This allows the user to, for instance, include the spacemacs tree as a
git submodule of their configuration repository without seeing
superfluous warnings.
Add two new functions: `spacemacs/transient-state-register-add-bindings`
and `spacemacs/transient-state-register-remove-bindings` to prevent layer
authors and end users from dealing with the underlying variables' subtleties.
At the moment a Quelpa recipe like `(recipe :fetcher local)` is being translated
to something like
`(recipe :fetcher file :path "my-layer/local/my-pkg/my-pkg.el")`. So we can
build simple single-file local packages.
This commit changes it to translate to the package directory instead of exact lisp
file, so we can build multi-file local packages. Thus, the above example will be
translated to `(recipe :fetcher file :path "my-layer/local/my-pkg")`.
Also, add the relevant info to LAYERS.org.
Some of the layers do not supply a README.org file which caused
invalid links in the layer list. To avoid this I have changed
spacemacs//generate-layers-from-path to only add links to layers
with a valid README.org file.
I have also removed an invalid check to exclude the non existing directory
"distribution" from the layers list. I think that originally the folder
"distributions" should have been excluded but this is not longer
a feasible action as there is at least one layer with a valid README.org
file in there today. So now we add links to all layers providing a
README.org file independent of their category.
In 2015 a file CONTRIBUTE.org was existing in the /doc folder.
In addition a CONTRIBUTING.md file was existing in the project root folder.
This was merged into a CONTRIBUTING.org file, which is still located in the project root.
However the documentation publishing system was still looking only in the doc folder.
In addition the external documentation is still referring to the old CONTRIBUTE.html which is not longer existing.
I have now included a new function called prior to publishing
which is copying the documents from the projects root into the doc folder.
As a side effect it renames the CONTRIBUTING.org to the old CONTRIBUTE.org
to support the external documentation.
Specifying parent modes (e.g. prog-mode) in :enabled-for-modes and
:disabled-for-modes keys in dotspacemacs-line-numbers catches derived
modes (e.g. c-mode) as well.
Fix bug where an empty :disabled-for-modes and a non-empty :enabled-for-modes
enabled line numbers everywhere, instead of only in modes specified in
:enabled-for-modes. (see https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/8482)
Add auxiliary function spacemacs/derived-mode-p, similar to derived-mode-p but
takes a major-mode as an argument instead of using the current major-mode.
In this case Spacemacs won't write custom variables to the
dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings variable.
Move setq and add-advice to spacemacs/initialize-custom-file which is now
called in spacemacs/init function just after dotspacemacs/user-init function.
New functions:
- configuration-layer/get-location-directory which return the location on disk
given a location
- spacemacs//get-theme-directory which returns the location on disk of the
theme
Add note in documentation to warn about the directory name when :location local
is used, the directory name is the package name not the theme name.
Also remove the docstring about SPC h SPC as it is already implied for the other
options in the dotfile.
Note that this commit modifies one condition, namely disabled mode condition.
It removes the first test:
(not (spacemacs/mplist-get dotspacemacs-line-numbers :enabled-for-modes))
as it is not necessary since we have a `or` in the enable-p condition. Disabled
modes will be checked only if the current major mode is not explicitly enabled
(as intented).
It is now possible to use package properties like :location in
dotspacemacs-themes.
Added hooks ran at the beginning and end of configuration-layer/sync:
- configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook
- configuration-layer-post-sync-hook
configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook is used to hook the new function
spacemacs//add-theme-packages-to-additional-packages. This new function updates
dotspacemacs--additional-theme-packages variables.
Update documentation to mention the new feature.
Add all theme packages defined in dotspacemacs-themes to the variable
dotspacemacs-additional-packages and delay the application of user theme at the
end of startup (only when user theme cannot be applied at the very beginning
of Emacs startup).
This has nice properties:
- we leverage the layer system to handle the theme packages installation and
cleanup.
- theme packages are automatically owned by the dotfile preventing them from
being garbage collected.
- the protected package mechanism is now obsolete since themes were the last
packages using it. This mechanism may be removed in a near future.
Thanks to TheBB for the initial idea.
Distribute spacemacs-theme with Spacemacs so we don't need to download the
package of the theme at startup. It was delaying the display of the home buffer.
Now Spacemacs fallback to spacemacs-dark theme if the user theme cannot be
applied. Spacemacs then tries to install and reapply the user theme. If
successful, at the subsequent startups the user theme is applied right away
instead of spacemacs-dark. If the installation failed then we display a warning
informing the user and suggesting some actions.
There is now no package left to be installed manually at the start of Spacemacs.
