syl20bnr ebe4c60264 Revert "Defer packages by default using use-package-always-defer" 
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.

The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.

Better Defaults layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/89caca3048e7bd4fb606b96c9a91e351d3a0c6f7/layers/+emacs/better-defaults/img/emacs.png

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.

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.

Install

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

Configuration

Choose if C-a first brings you to the beginning of the line or the beginning of the code (first non-whitespace character).

  (better-defaults :variables
                   better-defaults-move-to-beginning-of-code-first t)

Choose if C-e first brings you to the end of the line or the end of the code (before or after comments).

  (better-defaults :variables
                   better-defaults-move-to-end-of-code-first nil)
