Henrik Lissner bc4fb8f18e Fix helm macro errors due to load order
Some packages (like evil-collection and dumb-jump) use helm macros, but
Doom cannot ensure helm will be installed by the time these packages are
byte-compiled during installation. In fact, the default load order
prevents this.

Rather than imposing hard load order requirements, we just make sure
helm is higher on the packages list, so it gets installed sooner.

:feature evil

This holy module brings the vim experience to Emacs.

Removing evil-mode

Features

  • A better :g[lobal] command with incremental highlighting.
  • Adds the :al[ign] ex command: offers an ex interface to align-regexp with incremental highlighting.
  • Support for more of vim's filename modifiers in ex commands (like :p, :p:h or :t) than vanilla evil-mode offers.
  • A list of new text objects:

    • Blocks: B (from evil-textobj-anyblock)
    • Args: a (from evil-args)
    • Indentation: i / I / J (from evil-indent-plus)
  • Incorporates vim functionality ported to evil:

    • vim-commentary => evil-commentary
    • vim-easymotion => evil-easymotion
    • vim-multiedit => evil-multiedit
    • vim-multiple-cursors => evil-mc & evil-multiedit
    • vim-seek or vim-sneak => evil-snipe
    • vim-surround => evil-embrace & evil-surround
  • NERDTree equivalent is available in :tools neotree

Multiple-cursors

Two multiple-cursor implementations exist in this module: evil-mc and evil-multiedit. Together, these provide the functionality of vim-multiple-cursors.

The former lets you place "clone" cursors. The latter lets you interactively edit many regions at once (like an interactive version of :%s).

A hybrid code-folding system

This module combines evil-vimish-fold and hideshow. The former allows arbitrary folds and the latter allows folds on markers and indentation. Together, they create a more consistent (and feature-complete) code-folding system.

Most vim folding keys should work, e.g. zr, zm, za, zo, etc.

Hacks

  • Automatically moves to new window when splitting
  • From visual mode, * and # will search for the current selection instead of the word-at-point.

Differences from vim

  • Column-wise ranges in ex commands are enabled by default. i.e. the range in :'<,'>s/a/b will only affects the visual selection, not full lines (see evil-ex-visual-char-range).
  • :g will incrementally highlight buffer matches.
