This is in preparation for general.el integration coming in 2.1.1. It is
very likely that map! will change (and even more, be split into several
macros). Not much, but change none-the-less. Specifically, the state
keywords (e.g. :nvi, :n, :i) will be removed in favor of a :state
property that takes a list, e.g. (normal visual insert).
In any case, both map! and general are also relatively expensive
compared to define-key and evil-define-key* (and the new define-key!
macro), so use that when we can.
This also means changes to either API won't affect Doom's modules in the
long term.
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.
~/.doom.d/modules is now a full module tree, like ~/.emacs.d/modules.
Symlinks are no longer involved.
Private modules can now shadow Doom modules. e.g.
~/.doom.d/modules/lang/org will take precendence over
~/.emacs.d/modules/lang/org.
Also, made doom--*-load-path variables public (e.g. doom--site-load-path
=> doom-site-load-path), and rearranged the load-path for a 10-15%
startup boost.
+ Fix default-directory not being set properly when switching
perspectives. ie. Add persp-mode integration (#347, #360)
+ Ensure dashboard initializes properly, at the right time to ensure
benchmark is properly reported (fix#361)
Much of my work getting dashboard to behave across GUI, tty and daemon
Emacs is already done with initial-buffer-choice, so I cut down on my
own code and exploit that instead. Needs more testing.
