* Description
This holy module brings the vim experience to Emacs.
** Module Flags
+ =+everywhere= Enables evilified keybinds everywhere possible. Uses the
[[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection][evil-collection]] plugin as a foundation.

** Hacks
+ When a window is split, the new window will be focused.
+ The o/O keys will respect and continue commented lines (can be disabled by
setting ~+evil-want-o/O-to-continue-comments~ to ~nil~).
+ In visual mode, =*= and =#= will search for the current selection instead of
the word-at-point.
+ The ~:g[lobal]~ ex command has been modified to highlight matches.
+ More of vim's filename modifiers are supported in ex commands (like ~:p~,
~:p:h~ or ~:t~) than vanilla evil-mode offers.
+ A custom filename modifier is available in Doom: ~:P~, which expands to the
project root (throws an error if not in a project).
* Prerequisites
This module has no external prerequisites.
* Features
** Ported vim plugins
The following vim plugins have been ported to evil:
| Vim Plugin | Emacs Plugin | Keybind(s) |
|-----------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------|
| vim-commentary | evil-commentary | omap =gc= |
| vim-easymotion | evil-easymotion | omap =gs= |
| vim-seek or vim-sneak | evil-snipe | mmap =s=/=S=, omap =z=/=Z= & =x=/=x= |
| vim-surround | evil-embrace and evil-surround | vmap =S=, omap =ys= |
In other modules:
+ The tools/neotree & tools/treemacs modules provide a =NERDTree= equivalent.
+ The editor/multiple-cursors module contains functionality equal to the
following vim plugins:
+ evil-multiedit => vim-multiedit
+ evil-mc => vim-multiple-cursors
** Custom Text Objects
This module provides a couple extra text objects, along with the built-in ones.
For posterity, here are the built-in ones:
+ =w W= words
+ =s= sentences
+ =p= paragraphs
+ =b= parenthesized blocks
+ =b ( ) { } [ ] < >= braces, parentheses and brackets
+ =' " `= quotes
+ =t= tags
+ =o= symbols
And these are text objects added by this module:
+ =a= C-style fucntion arguments (provided by ~evil-args~)
+ =B= any block delimited by braces, parentheses or backets (provided by
~evil-textobj-anyblock~)
+ =i j k= By indentation (=k= includes on line above and =j= includes one line
below) (provided by ~evil-indent-plus~)
+ =x= XML attributes (provided by ~exato~)

* Configuration
** Removing evil-mode
You must do two things to remove Evil:
1. Remove =:editor evil= from =~/.doom.d/init.el=,
2. Run ~doom refresh~ to clean up lingering dependencies and refresh your
autoloads files.
3. [OPTIONAL] You may want to assign new values to ~doom-leader-alt-key~ and ~doom-localleader-alt-key~. These are bound to =C-c= and =C-c l= by default.
#+begin_quote
Ignore ~doom-leader-key~ and ~doom-localleader-key~, they don't apply to
non-evil sessions.
#+end_quote
Evil-specific configuration and keybindings (defined with ~map!~) will be
ignored without =:editor evil= present (and omitted when byte-compiling).
Keep in mind that, at the time of this writing, Doom was designed by a vimmer,
for vimmers. Little consideration has been put into designing a keybind scheme
for vanilla Emacs users (though it's being worked on!).
That means that much of Doom's functionality will be orphaned in an evil-less
setup. You'll have to set your own keybinds.
I suggest studying [[file:../../config/default/+emacs-bindings.el][config/default/+emacs-bindings.el]] to see what keybinds are
available for non-evil users. Otherwise, you may find inspiration [[file:../../../docs/example_configs.org][on the example
Doom configurations page]].
** Restoring old substitution behavior on s/S
Doom replaces the =s= and =S= keys with the =evil-snipe= package (a port of
vim-seek/vim-sneak for 2-character versions of f/F/t/T).
To disable evil-snipe on s/S, you can either:
1. Disable ~evil-snipe-mode~ by adding ~(after! evil-snipe (evil-snipe-mode
-1))~ to =$DOOMDIR/config.el=,
2. Or disable =evil-snipe= completely with ~(package! evil-snipe :disable t)~
added to =$DOOMDIR/packages.el=, but this will also disable incremental
highlighting for the f/F/t/T motions keys.
3. Or use =cl= and =cc=, respectively; they do the same thing.
