:feature was a "catch-all" category. Many of its modules fit better in
other categories, so they've been moved:
- feature/debugger -> tools/debugger
- feature/evil -> editor/evil
- feature/eval -> tools/eval
- feature/lookup -> tools/lookup
- feature/snippets -> editor/snippets
- feature/file-templates -> editor/file-templates
- feature/workspaces -> ui/workspaces
More potential changes in the future:
- A new :term category for terminal emulation modules (eshell, term and
vterm).
- A new :os category for modules dedicated to os-specific functionality.
The :tools macos module would fit here, but so would modules for nixos
and arch.
- A new :services category for web-service integration, like wakatime,
twitter, elfeed, gist and pastebin services.
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.
Should also fix void-function/void-variable errors caused by evil-magit
depending on the newer version of magit (#1174).
Also introduces a redesign of the SPC g prefix.
+ 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
+ Removed ranger/dired-setup hook and performed its config globally
+ Lazy-loaded ranger
+ Removed unnecessary `:defer t`s (redundant with :commands and :hook)
and `:commands` (redundant with :hook)
+ Set image-dired-dir before trying to create it, to give users an
opportunity to modify it before it is created
+ Use sharp quotes consistently for keybind commands
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.
Loading magit-blame immediately after git-timemachine is premature, only
one command uses magit-blame (git-timemachine-blame), so we defer it
until that command is called (also, it makes more sense to be in the
emacs/vc module, than tools/magit).
Brings better default code folding support to various languages, like
yaml, ruby, matlab, haml and vimrc. Hideshow is still quite
unsophisticated and will need the help of another package for complete
code folding functionality. Perhaps origami or vimish fold.
The code-folding functional in the feature/evil module will soon be
replaced by that.
