justbur 6eab954afe Use + instead of ! for layer categories
Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in
the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This
change fixes #2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special
meaning in a helm pattern.

Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as
representing "more layers here".

  • Logging to ~/.emacs.d/.cache/erc-logs and ViewLogMode for viewing logs (using erc-view-log)
  • YouTube videos Thumbnails inline (using erc-yt)
