New function configuration-layer/insert-lazy-install-configuration
This function asks for a layer and then insert the lazy configuration
for all the packages owned by this layer.
- New macro `spacemacs|transient-state-format-hint`
Additional hints can be formatted outside of the transient state macro.
This is a better separation of concern from an API point of view
because those hint are coupled to with the usage of :dynamic-hint
keyword. The transient state macro only need to know the entry point
for such dynamic hints, effectively increasing the readability of
transient state definition.
To be able to decouple the formatting of additional hints, a new
private variable whose name is given by the function
`spacemacs//transient-state-props-var-name` has been introduced.
An alternative would have been the save the whole transient state macro
props but a variable allows the cherry-pick only the values we really
need.
- Remove commented code about old variable
`spacemacs-transient-state-title-face`
- Remove unused keyword :entry-binding since it is not used. Given
the number and diversity of transient states in Spacemacs currently it
is a safe guess to remove this keyword for now. We can reintroduce it
later if really needed.
It's not possible to get full backtraces in these instances when an
error is signaled, and I think we should generate full backtraces when
debug-on-error is enabled as a general rule.
I had to make this change at one place to track down the root of problem
2 in #5200.
Bug lurking in the code for quite some time, if both a package and
its dependencies were uninstalled then activation of the dependencies
could fail. This is resolved by explicitly asking package.el to install
the dependencies if required.
Add actions for both helm and ivy.
TODO:
- see TODO in function body
- replace SPC h d p (list all packages, use spacemacs describe when
it is a layer package, otherwise use vanilla describe).
This new keyword allows to add all the packages to the <layer>-packages
even when a package is not toggled on by a given layer variable.
This fixes an issue of the layer system where we had to choose between
discoverability (ie. the list of package in helm or ivy with SPC h SPC)
and installation of package (because any package listed in the variable
<layer>-packages were installed).
Fix bug: When the list of package names returned by
configuration-layer//get-uninstalled-packages contains a package that
isn't contained in configuration-layer--packages, then
configuration-layer//install-package throws "wrong-argument-type:
eieio-object-p nil" error at startup.
configuration-layer//install-packages catches it and prints it in the
home buffer.
New function configuration-layer/lazy-install to add support for
lazy installation of layers based on auto-mode-alist emacs mechanism.
This is essentially the Prelude feature but translated at the layer
level for Spacemacs.
New dotspacemacs variable to enable this feature:
dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation
For now this variable is set to nil by default, it will be put to t when
the feature is stable.
POC with elixir layer.
Start to isolate the list of packages. Also we want to define packages
function at the top level of an elisp file in order to not prevent
emacs from knowing where the functions are defined.
This commit has a POC made with elfeed and elixir layers.
Add function that can be used to defer execution until after
dotspacemacs/user-config is run. If it has already been run the function
executes immediately.
Initially this is only used for deferring the definitions of
transient-states.
spacemacs-STATE-transient-state-remove-bindings is a list of keys whose
associated bindings should be removed for a transient state, when this
variable is defined.
spacemacs-STATE-transient-state-add-bindings is a list of bindings
suitable for a hydra whose associated bindings should be added to a
transient state, when this variable is defined.
Try to use as many of the old keywords from spacemacs|define-micro-state
as possible in the new macr spacemacs|define-micro-state-2 (the 2 is
just to use for the transition period)
Enable a global binding to access a list of available REPLs to run
everywhere. If the requested REPL depends on a major-mode that hasn't
been loaded, it will be loaded along its dependencies.
To make this work, a new `spacemacs/register-repl` function is included.
This function adds a major-mode and its repl function to a global
variable.
Addressing #4586. The bug stops Spacemacs from listing rollback slots if
there exists a file (i.e. non-directory) in the rollback directory.
e.g. .emacs.d/.cache/.rollback/.DS_Store (common in OS X)
- Remove extensions template
- Prompt before creating readme (Users creating private layers probably
don't want to create a readme)
- Template out layer author and email address
- Rename LAYERNAME to LAYER_NAME for readability
- Use fallback attributes if user-full-name is unset
- Fix inconsistent Spacemacs capitalization in template
People transitioning from Vim could be surprised if we set these
variable to t by default, so setting them to nil respects better
the POLA principle.
Impacted variables:
dotspacemacs-ex-substitute-global
dotspacemacs-remap-Y-to-y$
Background: `C-i` and `TAB` are the same keycode for historic reasons.
With the current settings, evil [1] and evil-jumper [2] associate
`jump-forward` to `C-i` (==`TAB`), what overrides bindings set to
`TAB` (==`C-i`) in terminal mode, like `orc-cycle`. To fix this,
this commit:
- Set `evil-want-C-i-jump` to `nil`, to prevent `evil` and `evil-jumper`
to use the `C-i` (==`TAB`) keycode.
- Remove the spacemacs' code that bind `jump-forward` to `TAB`(==`C-i`)
The current spacemacs code already rebind `jump-forward` to the GUI-only
`<C-i>` keycode.
