Kristoffer Haugsbakk 31a11abd54 Use RET instead of return for return key
It is an Emacs-wide convention to use `RET` when referring to the act of
pressing the return key.  Spacemacs seems to follow that convention as well.  So
fix some Org files that were deviating from this convention.

In particular, replace usages of `<return>` and `return` with `RET`.

Also update the description of an `M-RET` keybinding[1] based on the docstring
of `ido-select-text`.

Rebox layer

Description

This layer adds support for rebox2 package which is a minor-mode allowing to easily add ASCII text boxes to a buffer.

A nice video demonstration by the package author can be found here.

Features

  • Auto-wrap correctly in comments,
  • Auto-fill correctly in comments,
  • Boxes auto-adapt as text is inserted or deleted,
  • S-RET to continue a comment on the next line,
  • Kill/yank within the box,
  • Apparently works well with ancient filladpt-mode (see authors video).

Install

Layer

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

Configuration

Styles cycling

Box styles are identified by numbers, it is possible to cycle through a list of styles using SPC x b n. This list can be customized by setting the variable rebox-style-loop.

(setq rebox-style-loop '(71 72 73))

Text mode

As text mode usage could surprise some users (e.g., when they enter M-q to fill a paragraph) rebox is not enabled by default in text-mode. To enable it you need to set the layer variable rebox-enable-in-text-mode to t.

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (rebox :variables rebox-enable-in-text-mode t)))

Style Templates

Standard packaged templates

Comments

These templates are single line comments styles. A # is used here for illustration; however, it will work equally well if the comment character is different (e.g., lisp's ; comment character).

SPC x b < Move box to the left (point must be around left side of the box)
SPC x b b Draw next box defined in rebox-style-loop
SPC x b B Draw previous box defined in rebox-style-loop
SPC x b c Center box (point must be around left side of the box)
