Compilation of quick HOW-TOs for Spacemacs

Disable a package completely
To completely disable a package and effectively uninstalling it even if
it is part of your used layers, look for the variable
dotspacemacs-excluded-packages in your dotfile and add the package
name to it:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(package1 package2 ...))Disable a package only for a specific major-mode
This is done by removing the hook added by Spacemacs. For example to
remove flycheck support in python buffers, look for the function
dotspacemacs/user-config in your dotfile and add the following code:
(remove-hook 'python-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)
Hint to know the name of the major-mode of the current buffer press:
SPC h d v major-mode RET
Disable company for a specific major-mode
It may be handy to disable company for a given mode if you plan on
configuring auto-complete instead. On easy way to do it is to use the
macro spacemacs|disable-company in the function dotspacemacs/user-config
of your dotfile. The following snippet disables company for
python-mode:
(spacemacs|disable-company python-mode)Change special buffer rules
To change the way spacemacs marks buffers as useless, you can customize
spacemacs-useless-buffers-regexp which marks buffers matching the
regexp as useless. The variable spacemacs-useful-buffers-regexp marks
buffers matching the regexp as useful buffers. Both can be customized
the same way.
Examples:
;; Only mark helm buffers as useless
(setq spacemacs-useless-buffers-regexp '("\\*helm\.\+\\*"))
;; Marking the *Messages* buffer as useful
(push "\\*Messages\\*" spacemacs-useful-buffers-regexp)Enable navigation by visual lines
Add the following snippet to your dostpacemacs/config function:
;; Make evil-mode up/down operate in screen lines instead of logical lines
(define-key evil-motion-state-map "j" 'evil-next-visual-line)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map "k" 'evil-previous-visual-line)
;; Also in visual mode
(define-key evil-visual-state-map "j" 'evil-next-visual-line)
(define-key evil-visual-state-map "k" 'evil-previous-visual-line)Disable evilification of a mode
You can ensure a mode opens in emacs state by using evil-set-initial-state.
(evil-set-initial-state 'magit-status-mode 'emacs)You can also do this using buffer name regular expressions. E.g. for magit, which has a number of different major modes, you can catch them all with
(push '("*magit" . emacs) evil-buffer-regexps)
This should make all original magit bindings work in the major modes in
question. To enable the leader key in this case, you may have to define a
binding in the mode's map, e.g. for magit-status-mode,
(define-key magit-status-mode-map
dotspacemacs-leader-key evil-leader--default-map)
