* Description
This layer adds support for the [[https://coq.inria.fr/][Coq]] proof assistant (adapted from
[[https://github.com/tchajed/spacemacs-coq]]).

* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =coq= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this file.

** Coq
Official installers for MacOS and Windows are available from:
[[https://coq.inria.fr/download]].

Linux users can build from source or consult with their own package managers.

* Key bindings
** Laying out windows

| Key Binding | Description           |
|-------------+-----------------------|
| ~SPC m l c~ | Clear response buffer |
| ~SPC m l l~ | Re-layout windows     |
| ~SPC m l p~ | Show current proof    |

** Managing prover process

| Key Binding | Description                                                     |

| ~SPC m p r~ | Retract buffer - rewinds and moves point to beginning of buffer |

** Prover queries
The mnemonic for =a= is "ask".

| ~SPC m i m~     | Insert =match= on a type                                        |

Note the last two are regular =company-coq= bindings, left alone since they are
most useful in insert mode. The full =company-coq= tutorial showcasing all
available =company-coq= keybindings can be accessed at any time using =SPC SPC

* FAQ
** There are empty square boxes in place of math operators
Math symbols present in your buffer (e.g. forall exists) will attempt to be
prettified, if you are seeing empty square boxes this means an appropriate math
symbol cannot be found in your *font*. You can either install a appropriate math
font, or disable the feature by adding the following snippet to the your
=dotspacemacs/user-config=.
