On MacOS, command used to be 'meta, which Emacs (and many packages) use
for many keybinds. I don't want to pollute the command key, so it is now
meta (as is the Emacs default).
The MacOS keybind fixes have been moved back to super.
Some major modes rely on external parsers for correct indentation, like
js2-mode or enh-ruby-mode. They don't properly indent the closing
comment pair (*/), so we do it manually.
+ C-b/C-f/C-w/C-u are from vim, and so will only be set for evil users.
+ C-a/C-e exists in both vim and Emacs, so we make them smarter for both
users.
Using meta is a little more flexible. Since there is no dedicated meta
key on our keyboards (anymore), it can be remapped to another modifier
by changing mac-command-modifier, x-meta-keysym, etc. without
sacrificing super or alt keybinds.
+ Added +smartparens flag to config/default for default smartparens
config.
+ Fixed +tng support for completion/company.
+ Removed super keybinds (for all but MacOS)
+ Moved "keybind fixes" to config/default/config.el (these should be
universally available).
+ Replaced both +default-repeat-forward-key and +default-repeat-backward-key
with +default-repeat-keys. If this variable is nil, the universal
repeat motions won't be bound.
+ 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.

Mentioned in: #940
epa-file-encrypt-to is now set to the ids of all keys that match
user-full-name, if it is set. This should fix issues with multiple keys
with the same email addresses.
load!'s first argument is no longer a symbol (that will cause
void-variable errors now) to save on unnecessary interning and simplify
compile-time logic. It accepts any valid form that evaluates to a string
now.
If you use load!, you need to change its argument to a string!
e.g. (load! +my-module) => (load! "+my-module")
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.
