This isn't vital enough a package to be included in core. Emacs already
provides view-lossage, and there are other, better packages for
displaying your keybinds as you type.
Even one that I've been working on (with special evil support):
https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs-private/blob/master/lisp/keycast.el
There are a few kinks to iron out, but for the most part it's done. Doom
Emacs, powered by straight. Goodbye gnutls and elpa/quelpa issues.
This update doesn't come with rollback or lockfile support yet, but I
will eventually include one with Doom, and packages will be (by default,
anyway) updated in sync with Doom.
Relevant threads: #1577#1566#1473
- Adds the auto-minor-mode package to replace our in-house
implementation.
- Merges associate! into the def-project-mode! macro because associate!
on its own is less useful than auto-minor-mode-alist,
auto-minor-mode-magic-alist or hooks.
- Changes the semantics of :modes and :add-hooks properties of
def-project-mode!. Its arguments are evaluated as is; lists will need
to be quoted.
squash! core-lib: remove associate! macro
- Remove core-os and move many of its settings out to other core
libraries, where they belong
- Significantly improve commenting & compartmentalization of many
settings
- Correct some mis-named public hooks (that were named as if they were
private)
- Move the vast majority of optimizations to "Optimizations" section in
core.el
- Don't activate xclip-mode or osx-clipboard-mode if we're accessing
Emacs through an SSH connection (does more bad than good there)
- Add fast-but-imprecise-scrolling = t
- Set bidi-display-reordering = 'left-to-right, at the recommendation of
an Emacs dev. Apparently setting it to nil is undefined, as Emacs is
designed to always assume it's set; setting it explicitly to
left-to-right will still do what was originally intended by turning it
off: to reduce line/text scans for bidirectional text, which gives us
a moderate boost in general runtime snappiness
- Set inhibit-compacting-fon-caches = t on windows (where it struggles
especially with icon fonts)
- Disables "literal" mode for very large files (because I will be
backporting so-long.el from Emacs 27 in the next commit)
- Adds melpa-mirror, for those lonely days when melpa is down
- Reduce logging spam from package!
- Revise comments & use outline-mode headings
- Prioritize melpa over elpa
IMPORTANT: This is a breaking update for Mac users, as your shell
environment will no longer be inherited correctly (with the removal of
exec-path-from-shell). The quick fix is: 'bin/doom env refresh'. Also,
the set-env! autodef now does nothing (and is deprecated), be sure to
remove calls to it in your config.
Smaller changes:
+ This update also adds --no-* switches to doom quickstart
+ Includes general improvements to the documentation of several bin/doom
commands.
+ Moves doom/reload* commands to core/autoload/config.el
+ doom/reload-project has been removed (it didn't actually do anything)
The breaking change:
This update adds an "envvar file" to Doom Emacs. This file is generated
by `doom env refresh`, populated with variables scraped from your shell
environment (from both non-interactive and interactive sessions). This
file is then (inexpensively) loaded at startup, if it exists.
+ The file is manually generated with `doom env refresh`.
+ It can be regenerated automatically whenever `doom refresh` is run by
running `doom env enable` (`doom env clear` will reverse this and
delete the env file).
+ `doom quickstart` will ask if you want to auto-generate this envvar
file. You won't need it if you're confident Emacs will always be
started from the correct environment, however.
+ Your env file can be reloaded from a running Emacs session with `M-x
doom/reload-env`. Note: this won't work if the Emacs session you're
running it in doesn't have a correct SHELL set. i.e. don't use this to
create your first env file!
The idea isn't mine -- it's borrowed from Spacemacs -- and was
introduced to me in #1053 by @yurimx. I was impressed with it. Prior to
this, I was unhappy with exec-path-from-shell (no hate to the dev, I
understand its necessity), and 'doom patch-macos' wasn't ideal for mac
users (needed to be reapplied every time you update Emacs). What's more,
many users (even Linux users) had to install exec-path-from-shell
anyway.
This solution suffers from none of their shortcomings. More reliable
than patch-macos, more performant and complete than
exec-path-from-shell, and easily handled by bin/doom.
+ 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.
Addresses: #448, #814, #860
Mentioned in: #940
ws-butler only strips trailing spaces on lines that have been modified.
+ ws-butler is disabled if editorconfig enables
trim_trailing_whitespace, which resorts to delete-trailing-whitespace
instead.
+ Updates doom|(enable|disable)-delete-trailing-whitespace hooks to use
ws-butler-mode.
Fixes an issue where exec-shell-from-path could not be installed on
Linux or Windows.
Doom used :ignore because, at the time, it supported a workflow where
your Emacs config was shared over dropbox or rslsync across multiple
computers. This workflow is no longer supported (it was very buggy!), so
this is no longer necessary. :ignore should also be reserved for private
use and not used internally.
Editorconfig is given precedence. If it successfully sets an
indent_style or indent_size for the current buffer, automatic
indentation detection will be disabled.
Use-package broke in a recent update, as with Doom, since it relies so
heavily on it. To combat this issue arising again, use-package will be
installed from melpa-stable from now on.
