The X clipboard allows a user to copy and paste content between different X
windows, e.g. copying text from Chrome into a Terminal. Copy/pasting with the X
clipboard it well supported in GUI Emacs, but not so well in terminal Emacs
(i.e `emacs -nw` or `emacsclient -t`) without resorting to using the mouse,
since terminal Emacs has no awareness of X. There are several incomplete Elisp
solutions out that work for the most part, but may not have cross-platform
support, or may fail over SSH with X forwarding or within a `tmux` session.
This layer adds support for OSX, Linux, Windows, and Cygwin using the relevant
binary on each system. For example on Linux, it uses `xsel` or `xclip` to
interface with the clipboard, depending which one is available. It also adds
support for ssh'ing into a different OS with X forwarding via `ssh -Y hostname`,
and copy/pasting to and from a remote terminal Emacs. It also supports an edge
case of continuing to work in an Emacs instance running inside a `tmux` session
which may have been started by a different ssh session, which relies on
explicitly reseting the `$DISPLAY` environment variable before calling the
relevant binary.

Fix#4662.
Tried to add xclip support but removed it since it freezes.
We have key bindings to create two and three column
window layers.
This commit makes available a key binding to return to
the default spacemacs window layer, the single column one.
Since the introduction of `spacemacs-bootstrap`, the position of layers
inside `configuration-layer--used-layers` was shifted by 1 to the right.
The test changes account for that now, and the names were changed to
indicate they are related to testing the `spacemacs-base` distribution,
since the complete `spacemacs` distribution has other layers in between
bootstrap and defaults.
This idea is to have the spacemacs-base distribution only configure defaults for
built-in packages. Those buit-in packages are now configured in the new layer
spacemacs-defaults.
Additionally some other packages of spacemacs-base have been dispatched to
better suiting spacemacs layers.
Projectile has been moved to the new layer spacemacs-project
- Move the following packages to bootsrap distributio layer:
- exec-path-from-shell
- evil-evilified-state
- holy-mode
- hybrid-mode
- spacemacs-theme
- ace-window has been moved to spacemacs-navigation
- centered-buffer-mode has been moved to spacemacs-editing-visual
- pcre2el has been moved to spacemacs-editing
- evil-escape and evil-visualstar have been moved to spacemacs-evil
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.
The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.
It appears that 29c78ce changed `:defer t` to be the default for
use-package, and that previously the `treemacs` and
`treemacs-projectile` packages in treemacs/packages.el specified `:defer
t`, but *not* `treemacs-evil`. Restoring `:demand t` (previously the
default) to `treemacs-evil` appears to fix#10422.
