* Description
|
|
Spacemacs is not just Emacs plus Vim. It can have macOS key bindings too! This
|
|
layer globally defines common macOS key bindings.
|
|
|
|
** Features:
|
|
- ~⌘~ is set to ~hyper~ and ~⌥~ is set to ~meta~
|
|
- In =dired= use =gls= instead of =ls=
|
|
- Fix separator colors of Spaceline mode-line
|
|
|
|
* Philosophy
|
|
While this layer enables common macOS bindings, it does not implement macOS
|
|
navigation key bindings. Spacemacs is meant to be used with Evil, and we
|
|
encourage you to do so :)
|
|
|
|
* Install
|
|
** Layer
|
|
Layer has been updated for new config variables. The variable =osx-use-option-as-meta=
|
|
is still available for backwards compatibility and will take precedence if set.
|
|
|
|
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
|
|
add =osx= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this file.
|
|
The different modifier keys can be set as follows:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(osx :variables osx-command-as 'hyper
|
|
osx-option-as 'meta
|
|
osx-control-as 'control
|
|
osx-function-as nil
|
|
osx-right-command-as 'left
|
|
osx-right-option-as 'left
|
|
osx-right-control-as 'left
|
|
osx-swap-option-and-command nil)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
These are also the default values. Setting the right modifier to =left=
|
|
will equal the left modifier. Allowed values are: =super=, =meta=, =control=,
|
|
=alt= and =nil=.
|
|
Setting =nil= for modifiers will leave the left modifiers as emacs default.
|
|
Setting =osx-swap-option-and-command= to =t= will swap =command= and =option= key.
|
|
|
|
*** Use with non-US keyboard layouts
|
|
If you need the ~⌥~ key to type common characters such as ={[]}~= which is usual
|
|
for e.g. Finnish and Swedish keyboard layouts, you'll probably want to leave the
|
|
~⌥~ key unchanged by setting the =osx-option-as= variable to =none=:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(osx :variables osx-option-as 'none)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
If you have problem entering symbols that are behind the ~⌥~ key you may want to
|
|
set the variables as follows. This will allow you to use
|
|
the right ~⌥~ key to write symbols. The left ~⌥~ key can be used as the Meta
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(osx :variables osx-option-as 'meta
|
|
osx-right-option-as 'none)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Define words using macOS Dictionary
|
|
This layer by default enables defining words under point ~SPC x w d~ using macOS
|
|
Dictionary. In some cases you might want to manually setup dictionary to use.
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(osx :variables osx-dictionary-dictionary-choice "English")))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
To get the list of available dictionaries call =osx/list-available-dictionaries=
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
You can disable it by setting =osx-use-dictionary-app= variable to =nil=:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(osx :variables osx-use-dictionary-app nil)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Coreutils
|
|
To get =gls= install coreutils homebrew:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
|
brew install coreutils
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|

* Future Work
|
|
- Allow user to choose from either ~hyper~ or ~super~ as ~⌘~. This is an option
|
|
that is supported cross-platform.
|
|
- Configurable option to keep the macOS and Spacemacs clipboards separate.
