The motivation is to clean redundent actions and bring more consistency
between `SPC b` and `SPC w` by:
- using capital letters for ace-window actions
- reusing the same letters between window and buffer when possible
- adding support for universal prefix argument to delete both window
and buffer
Details of changes:
Buffer
- `SPC b k` has been removed since the functionality is
available directly in Helm by selecting the kill buffer action
- `SPC b m` (buffer move) has been removed because the functionality
is available via `SPC w` with `SPC w h/j/k/l`, `SPC w H/J/K/L` and
`SPC w M` (see window section for the new `SPC w M`).
- `SPC b K` (kill other buffers) is now `SPC b m` to map with `SPC w m`
(kill other window or maximize). Using the universal prefix argument
`SPC u SPC b m` will also kill the windows.
- `SPC b C-k` (kill buffer matching regexp) is now simply on `SPC b k`.
- `SPC b D` now kills a buffer using ace-window.
- `SPC b d` and `SPC b D` now accept an universal prefix argument to
also delete the window. So `SPC u SPC b d` and `SPC u SPC b D` delete
the buffer and the window.
Window
- `SPC w M` now swap the window using ace-window.
- old `SPC w M` (center window) is now on `SPC w c` and `SPC w C` uses
ace-window.
- `SPC w SPC` (select window) is now on `SPC w W` since it uses
ace-window.
- `SPC w d` and `SPC w D` now accepts an universal prefix argument to
delete the window and the buffer.
Old implementation excluded package that were not selected, this
implementation does not excluded them, it simply ignore it in the
layer where they are not selected. This reimplementation comes from
a refactor of the way packages.el files are loaded, instead of loading
these files at the moment of resolving the list of used packages, they
are now loaded when making the layer objects. A neat consequence is that
side effects is better confined and the configuration-layer/get-packages
is now pure (at least a lot more pure than before).
In the `cfgl-layer` class the slot `:user-packages` has been renamed
to `:selected-packages` which defaults to `'all` meaning that all
the packages in `:packages` are selected. `:selected-packages` value
is given by the new function `configuration-layer//select-packages`.
Effectively selected packages are given by a new method for `cfgl-layer`
class called `cfgl-layer-get-packages`.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes.
Also documentation on configuration layer declaration in the dotfile
section of DOCUMENTATION.org has been greatly improved (I hope) and
reflect the last feature added to the
`dotspacemacs-configuration-layers` list.
- Use completing-read when called interactively
- Check for string locations in addition to built-in etc.
- Don’t double-princ on/off for toggles
- Bind to SPC hdP
This new variable replace dotspacemacs-delete-orphan-packages
It defines the behaviour of Spacemacs when downloading packages.
Possible values are `used', `used-but-keep-unused' and `all'.
- `used' will download only explicitly used packages and remove any
unused packages as well as their dependencies.
- `used-but-keep-unused' will download only the used packages but won't
delete them if they become unused.
- `all' will download all the packages regardless if they are used or
not and packages won't be deleted by Spacemacs.
Default value is `used`.
The new layer file `layers.el` is used to declared additional layers.
It is like the sibling of packages.el except that for now it does not
take a list (can do this in a futur commit).
The new order for file loading is the following:
layers.el > packages.el > funcs.el > config.el > keybindings.el
Since packages.el relies on some undefined stuff encapsulated
in init functions, it is not meant to be byte compiled. OTOH funcs.el
(where lies most of the computation added by a package config) should
be compilable.
Since we load packages.el very early it is not possible to use
`configuration-layer/package-usedp` in funcs.el.
This commit also fixes the tests.
Change the semantic of the files for a better control over the
configuration (like being able to use package-usedp function to
guard package configuration and function definition).
This is a big change!
The list of packages of the layer must now be placed in config.el
packages.el only contains pre-init, init and post-init functions
Now both packages.el and funcs.el can use
configuration-layer/package-usedp which is much more powerful than
just configuration-layer/layer-usedp.
Also merging into one file the layer variable and the list of packages
make sense (in this case config.el).
It also means that we can quickly load all the packages declared in
all layer for helm and ivy sources by just loading the config.el file.
Expect some regressions introduced by this change, like the helm
and ivy sources, they will be fixed in other commits.
The purpose of `projectile-find-test-file` is not obvious
and it is not applicable to all languages.
Actually running the tests seems like a more useful and intuitive binding.

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`
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
Unless there is a valid reason why these shouldn't be included I think
we should keep them. after all we can yank with `v y` right?
squash! Add documentation
Key bindings should not be choosen given a package name, some helm
key bindings are under `SPC h` which are corrected the following way:
SPC h l for helm-resume to SPC r l (resume last completion)
SPC s l for last-search to SPC r s (resume search) (SPC s l is still
available)
SPC h L for helm-locate-library to SPC s L
Resolve#4592
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)
This make `SPC h SPC` as default binding for accessing `helm-spacemacs`,
by either A) changing all the documentation; and B) adding a deprecation
message for `SPC f e h`.
The deprecation use a warning, because if a message is used it's hidden
directly when the helm buffer is shown, making it nearly unnoticeable
for the user.
This commit merge the `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `doc/CONTRIBUTE.org` file
into a new `CONTRIBUTING.org` file. It also refactors the content to be
more organized and make its navigation more goal-oriented.
Github displays a link to the `CONTRIBUTING.*` file when people are
opening new issues or proposing new PRs. This file is important because
it is the entry-point to contributions guidelines for most of the users.
The current setup is non-optimal, even broken, as it adds a level of
indirection, and points to a contributing file that has broken
links (due to the new documentation format). The possible drawback of
the proposed solution is that I'm not sure if it is possible to include
it into the new online documentation as it is not in `doc/` folder.
The other possibility is to keep a small `CONTRIBUTING.md` file, as it
is now, pointing to the new documentation system (once online), but I'm
preferring the proposed solution for the following reasons:
- People that are willing to contribute will probably open Github
first (for forking, creating PR, etc), not the online documentation.
- It has one level of indirection less when people click on the
guidelines guide from a new issue/PR.
- `CONTRIBUTING.*` is by convention a special kind of file on github, so
it's valid reason to break the rule and not having it in the `doc/`
folder.

* Set `neo-vc-integration` to `nil` for much better performance
* Add documentation for the `neo-vc-integration` setting.
* Add documentation for the `neo-theme` setting.
- Default projectile settings are to disable caching when indexing
method is `alien. So setting the indexing method should be enough.
- On windows we keep the 'native method unless find is found
I found it annoying to have to re-navigate to the *compilation* window
and close it after every time I compile with `SPC p c`.
This patch adds a binding to make closing this window fast and easy.
Also a little bit of clean up.
As `SPC L` has moved to `SPC l` and avy is now on `SPC y`, the FAQ has
to be updated because the evil-leader example doesn't make sense any
longer. The question is also moved to "How do I …" where it belongs.
The code has also been updated to be a little bit cleaner.
After the change in 1d340dcc77,
there was some grumbling in gitter that `SPC L` is not as convenient
as `SPC l`. Apparently avy-goto-line is a popular function.
`SPC y` is chosen because it is:
- currently unused (as far as I can tell).
- sort of mnemonic because "avy" has a "y" in it.
- doesn't require SHIFT to type
- is accessible even on non-US keyboards
(there were suggestions such ";" and "\" that are not as accessible
on non-US keyboards)
This change also updates the documentation regarding the change from
ace-jump-mode to avy.
I feel that it is not needed because it makes not a lot of sense to
have it non global since it is a dotfile variable.
Also remove ' from the docstring for consistency.
