The leader keys have been redesigned a) for consistency, b) to reduce
collisions with packages, and c) to improve command coverage. However,
much of it still comes from a vim user, so it needs more testing.
- SPC o r now prompts for a REPL to open when none was found for the
current buffer.
- REPL handlers must now follow the naming convention "*/open*-repl".
e.g. +python/open-ipython-repl, +emacs-lisp/open-repl, etc.
- +eval/open-repl has been split in two:
- +eval/open-repl-other-window
- +eval/open-repl-same-window
+ Now uses an overriding keymap for leader keys, so that it is always
available, even outside of normal/visual states. In insert/emacs
states, or in sessions where evil is absent, an alternative prefix is
used for leader/localleader keys. See these variables:
+ doom-leader-prefix
+ doom-leader-alt-prefix
+ doom-localleader-prefix
+ doom-localleader-alt-prefix
+ Keybinds now support alternative prefixes through the new :alt-prefix
property. This is useful for non-evil users and non-normal evil
states. By default, this is M-SPC (leader) and M-SPC m (localleader).
+ Removed +evil-commands flag from config/default (moved to
feature/evil/+commands.el).
+ config/default/+bindings.el has been split into
config/default/+{evil,emacs}-bindings.el, which one is loaded depends
on whether evil is present or not. The latter is blank, but will soon
be populated with a keybinding scheme for non-evil users (perhaps
inspired by #641).
+ The define-key! macro has been replaced; it is now an alias for
general-def.
+ Added unmap! as an alias for general-unbind.
+ The following modifier key conventions are now enforced for
consistency, across all OSes:
alt/option = meta
windows/command = super
It used to be
alt/option = alt
windows/command = meta
Many of the default keybinds have been updated to reflect this switch,
but it is likely to affect personal meta/super keybinds!
The map! macro has also been rewritten to use general-define-key. Here
is what has been changed:
+ map! no longer works with characters, e.g. (map! ?x #'do-something) is
no longer supported. Keys must be kbd-able strings like "C-c x" or
vectors like [?C-c ?x].
+ The :map and :map* properties are now the same thing. If specified
keymaps aren't defined when binding keys, it is automatically
deferred.
+ The way you bind local keybinds has changed:
;; Don't do this
(map! :l "a" #'func-a
:l "b" #'func-b)
;; Do this
(map! :map 'local "a" #'func-a
"b" #'func-b)
+ map! now supports the following new blocks:
+ (:if COND THEN-FORM ELSE-FORM...)
+ (:alt-prefix PREFIX KEYS...) -- this prefix will be used for
non-normal evil states. Equivalent to :non-normal-prefix in general.
+ The way you declare a which-key label for a prefix key has changed:
;; before
(map! :desc "label" :prefix "a" ...)
;; now
(map! :prefix ("a" . "label") ...)
+ It used to be that map! supported binding a key to a key sequence,
like so:
(map! "a" [?x]) ; pressing a is like pressing x
This functionality was removed *temporarily* while I figure out the
implementation.

Mentioned in: #940
Now that I've "backported" display-line-numbers to Emacs 25, it isn't
necessary to conditionally enable nlinum-mode.
Also, use after! isntead of def-package!; this usage is equivalent, and
after! imposes less overhead.
projectile-project-root no longer returns `default-directory` if not in
a project (it returns nil). As such, doom-project-* functions (and their
uses) have been refactored.
+ doom-project-p & doom-project-root are aliases for
projectile-project-p & projectile-project-root.
+ doom-project-{p,root,name,expand} now has a DIR argument (for
consistency, since projectile-project-name and
projectile-project-expand do not).
+ The nocache parameter is no longer necessary, as projectile's caching
behavior is now more sane.
+ Removed some projectile advice/hacks that are no longer necessary.
+ Updated unit tests
We would need to use `'equal` for comparison, but Emacs 25 only allows `'eq`.
Using `advice-add` to override `alist-get` does not work, because `setf`
has special handling for `alist-get`.
`repl.el`: Switch to a hash table which already supports multiple comparison
functions, and changing of elements even in Emacs 25.
`eshell/autoload/settings.el`: use conditional set-or-push.
Drop `doom*alist-get`, it is unused now.
Thanks to @hlissner for the reimplementation.
Now accepts a flat plist of all its former parameters, including new
:parameters and :actions properties to increase your control over the
fate of your windows.
The old usage of set-popup-rule! is deprecated and may not work right!
The :ui popup module has also seen a major refactor to improve
efficiency and load times.
Sorry! This is the last "big" change before 2.1!
+ :popup -> set-popup-rule!
+ :popups -> set-popup-rules!
+ :company-backend -> set-company-backend!
+ :evil-state -> set-evil-initial-state!
I am slowly phasing out the setting system (def-setting! and set!),
starting with these.
What are autodefs? These are functions that are always defined, whether
or not their respective modules are enabled. However, when their modules
are disabled, they are replaced with macros that no-op and don't
waste time evaluating their arguments.
The old set! function will still work, for a while.
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.
In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.
Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.
This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.
This makes quickrun, *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* buffers behave
better.
Eval output buffers should a) shrink themselves to the size of their
output (within reason), b) *not* grab focus, and c) be easy to close
from afar with C-g/Escape.
Gotchas:
1. Quickrun gets output asynchronously, so we shrink it on
quickrun-after-run-hook, not in the popup rule.
2. *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* opens with its output ready, so the
popup system may shrink those to fit.
3. *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* handle window selection themselves.
Let them by setting the select window parameter to #'ignore.
This is a breaking change! Update your :popup settings. Old ones will
throw errors!
Doom's new popup management system casts off its shackles (hur hur) and
replaces them with the monster that is `display-buffer-alist`, and
window parameters.
However, this is highly experimental! Expect edge cases. Particularly
with org-mode and magit (or anything that does its own window
management).
Relevant to #261, #263, #325
There is no guarantee that the quickrun buffer will have all its output
when spawned, making :autofit unpredictable; usually making them too
small, so we disable :autofit and do it manually, once the output is
ready.
set! used to aggressively evaluate its arguments (at expansion-time),
even if placed inside an after! block. This causes unavoidable errors if
those arguments use functions/variables that don't exist yet.
Fixes#112
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
