Emacs

Better Defaults

+emacs/better-defaults/README.org

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.

Features:

  • Smart line navigation: Subsequent presses of C-a toggles between the beginning of the line and the first non-whitespace character. Similarly, subsequent presses of C-e will toggle between the end of the code and the end of the comments.
  • spacemacs/backward-kill-word-or-region: A combination of kill-region and backward-kill-word, depending on whether there is an active region. If there's an active region kill that. If not kill the preceding word.
  • Fill or unfill paragraph: Pressing M-q for the first time fills current paragraph and pressing M-q for the second time unfills it. Note that some modes override this key binding so it's not available everywhere. Due to implementation details unfilling doesn't work when called twice via M-x.

Helpful

Semantic

+emacs/semantic/README.org

CEDET is a *C*ollection of *E*macs *D*evelopment *E*nvironment *T*ools written with the end goal of creating an advanced development environment in Emacs. CEDET includes common features such as intelligent completion, source code navigation, project management, code generation with templates. CEDET also provides a framework for working with programming languages; support for new programming languages can be added and use CEDET to provide IDE-like features. This framework is called Semantic.

Semantic is a package that provides a framework for writing parsers. Parsing is a process of analyzing source code based on programming language syntax. The packages relies on Semantic for analyzing source code and uses its results to perform smart code refactoring that based on code structure of the analyzed language, instead of plain text structure. Semantic is the core of CEDET.

Features:

  • Display function or variable definition at the bottom.
  • Display current function cursor is in at the top. See this page for demos in some programming languages.
  • Support common C/C++ refactoring with semantic-refactor. See this page for demonstration of refactoring features.

This layer enables support for plantuml-mode, which provides a major-mode for plantuml. PlantUML is a tool to generate UML diagrams from plain-text.

For help with how to use plantuml, see the plantuml website and the reference guide.

The official file extension supported by this layer is .pum. If you want something else, set it in your user-config function of your ~/.spacemacs file.

For example, the following diagram can be defined as follows:

  @startuml
  JAremko->robbyoconnor : I think the docs can benefit from some kind of illustration
  JAremko<-robbyoconnor : I'm too lazy -- I have actual work to do. I link to the docs. If you can write me a diagram in plantuml, I'll gladly compile and add it.
  JAremko->robbyoconnor : *gives ths diagram*
  robbyoconnor<-JAremko : *robbyoconnor adds it and JAremko is happy*
  ...
  robbyoconnor->theOtherPerson : And they thinks it's funny? Yup, they definitely finds it funny. Right?
