Install

The spacemacs-evil layer is included by default in the Spacemacs distribution.

Note about evil-collection

evil-collection is a collection of Evil bindings for the parts of Emacs that Evil does not cover properly by default, such as help-mode, M-x calendar, Eshell and more.

However, there is a large overlap of features provided by both Spacemacs and evil-collection. For the same feature, Spacemacs implementation is often better than evil-collection.

That's said, when evil-collection is used carefully we can reduce the amount of effort wasted on reinventing the wheel on Spacemacs side.

Spacemacs provides a layer variable spacemacs-evil-collection-allowed-list for users and layer hackers to enable evil-collection on their desired modes.

For users, if you want to enable evil-collection on eglot, then you will need to declare this layer with it variable explicitly:

  (spacemacs-evil :variables
                      spacemacs-evil-collection-allowed-list
                     '(eglot))

For Spacemacs hackers check out git layer to see how we apply evil-collection to magit.
