I've been introducing tons of people to Spacemacs, and most of them
always think that having to read documentation in how to add a layer is
too much.
I made this modification to make it easier to install layers.
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.
The current way to highlight TODOs is `spacemacs/highlight-TODO-words`
which is a spacemacs' hard-coded function.
This commit changes it for the `hl-todo` package. This imply:
- More keywords are supported out of the box.
- Keywords are associated to faces, so they are shown in different
colors.
- Keywords are stored with their faces in a list, so it's easier for
users to add their own keywords and faces (as contrary to a regexp).
- It is possible to disable highlighting by simply excluding the
package.
This pre-command-hook translates the special key to the corresponding
emacs function key. This effects only happens in terminal, this hook is
a no-op in GUI.
By doing this we attempt to bring more consistency between the GUI
and the terminal regarding TAB and RET keys.
spacemacs/set-key
spacemacs/set-key-for-state
These functions find normalized keys which should handle as sanely as
possible the GUI and the terminal.
See docstring of spacemacs//normalize-key for more info.
This commit changes:
<leader> a p from proced to list-processes
<leader> a P from paradox-list-packages to proced
and <leader> a k to paradox-list-packages.
* 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.
This variable does NOT specify the directory portion for the junk file
creation; it is an alias for `open-junk-file-format'. Hence, it should
contain format markers for the randomisation of the junk file name.
The previous value would not auto-generate a junk name for the junk
file: the prompt would ask for a file extension without having an
auto-generated junk file name.
- Rename micro-states to "layouts"
- Rename some functions to include "layout" instead of "perspective"
- cleanup variables
- move functions to funcs.el
- move package specific stuff to post-init functions
- changes key bindings
- micro-state documentation rewrite
- change format of the layouts line in the micro-state doc
- defer loading of persp-mode which loads with `SPC l`
- always display the spacemacs home buffer with no switch
- various fixes
- various new bugs :-)
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.
So perspectives are on SPC l
and avy jump to line on SPC L
This is to have consistent lower case keys for "scopes":
- b for buffer
- f for files
- p for project
- and l for layout (perspective)
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.
Add the `lorem-ipsum` package to insert text, and bind it to:
* `xil`: lorem-ipsum-insert-list
* `xip`: lorem-ipsum-insert-paragraphs
* `xis`: lorem-ipsum-insert-sentences
`x` as it's text related, and `l` for `list, `p` for `paragraph` and `s`
for sentences.
This commit moves the – previously disabled – `auto-dictionary` code to
the `spell-checking` layer and activate it. It is now enabled by
default, but can be disabled by setting `spell-checking-auto-dictionary`
to `nil`.
`auto-dictionary` comes with some interesting improvements:
- Tries to automatically detect what is the language of the buffer and
activate the corresponding dictionary.
- When a buffer is opened, all spelling mistakes are shown without
needing first to be under the cursor.
- When the dictionary is changed, the whole buffer is reanalyzed for
spelling mistakes (close#2088).
`global-linum-mode` is making line numbers appearing in `*spacemacs*`
and `helm` buffers, what is annoying.
This change make the linum `SPC t n` toggle buffer-local, and add a
customization variable in `.spacemacs` to enable line numbers globally.
«Globally» here as to be understood as «in `prog-mode` and `text-mode`».
Add :status option and manage :on and :off manually. Without :status
the message is wrong (always says enabled), and with :status we need an
explicit :on and :off, because otherwise the toggle would always disable
the flag.
Not sure what’s going on here, but this one works correctly now.
Close#3433.
`evil-repeat` repeat the last action, but ignore calls to `write-file`
or `evil-write`. `spacemacs/write-file` is a wrapper around those two
function, so it should be ignored to.
For buffers, `*` search for the word under the cursor, and `/` ask to
search for an expression. To keep the same mnemonic at project level,
this commit change `SPC /` to ask for an expression to search, and add
`SPC *` to search for the expression under the cursor (in fact the only
difference being the expression pre-filled inside the input field).
The toggle is being called after the package is loaded, but the package
is deferred based on a call to the toggle. This means that the first
time toggle is used it's called at least twice. Furthermore, `(setq
linum-format 'linum-relative)` effectively turns on the mode as it is.
Possible fix for #2161
In help buffers, TAB in emacs state allows you to jump through the
links. This allows for the same behavior in motion state. This is very
useful for jumping to function definitions.
This change add a `switch-to-scratch-buffer` function allowing to – you
guessed it – switch to the `*scratch*` buffer, taking care of creating
it if necessary. The function is bind to `SPC b s`, `b` as it concerns
buffers, and `s` for `scratch`.
Correct a bug in helm-spacemacs: Whenever a function was needing the
FAQ's candidates in helm-spacemancs (`SPC f e h` and `SPC f e f`), the
`FAQ.org` file was open in a buffer and not closed. This commit corrects
this by loading the content of `FAQ.org` in a temp buffer and switch it
to `org-mode` in order to get the candidates.
evil-mc is a new attempt to bring multiple cursors to evil users.
Enable it by adding `(global-evil-mc-mode)` then use
g r m to mark all
g r u to remove cursors
g r p to pause cursors
g r r to resume
g r h to add a cursor at point (cursors must be paused first)

Emacs provides a `count-words-region' which is badly named as it counts
not only words, but also characters and lines. The current keybinding
for this function `SPC x w c' implies it's referring to words only. The
new mapping `SPC x c` is more coherent since it means counting text,
whether it is characters, words or lines. An alias `count-region` is
created to be less confusing in which-key description.
`SPC x w c` being free, `spacemacs/count-words-analysis` is remapped to
it instead of `SPC x w C` to save one keystroke.
The `spacemacs/count-words-analysis' function displays results with the
default elisp formatting of associative list. This change improves it by
changing the format to a more human-readable form, and also by ordering
results by frequencies first, and then alphabetically in case of tie.
