# Better Defaults contribution layer for Spacemacs ![logo](img/emacs.png) **Table of Contents** - [Better Defaults contribution layer for Spacemacs](#better-defaults-contribution-layer-for-spacemacs) - [Description](#description) - [Install](#install) - [Functions](#functions) - [smart-move-beginning-of-line](#smart-move-beginning-of-line) - [Key bindings](#key-bindings) ## Description This layer enhances the default commands of Emacs and is primarily intended to be used with the `emacs` editing style as it does not change anything in the Vim key bindings. However the `emacs` editing style is not required, you can still use this layer while you are using the `vim` editing style if you have some kind of mixed style. The commands defined in this layer are taken from various sources like [Prelude][]. ## Install To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs` ```elisp (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(better-defaults)) ``` ## Functions ### smart-move-beginning-of-line Pressed one time, go to the first non-whitespace character of the line, pressed again, go to the beginning of the line. ## Key bindings Key Binding | Description --------------|------------------------------------------------------------ `C-a` | smart beginning of line [Prelude]: https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude
