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.
- Move profiler from 't' to 'T' (as not to override
`help-with-tutorial', esp for non-evil users)
- Replace C-c (describe-copying) with describe-coding-system
- Bind doom/describe-symbol to 'h'
- Bind `describe-key-briefly' to 'C-k'
Done to better facilitate a non-evil config.
- Adds winum (and enables support for it in doom-modeline)
- Adds expand-region (#1231)
- Uses default smartparens config for non-evil users (WIP)
This makes text insertion behave more like traditional editors.
Delete-selection-mode allows selections to be replaced when yanking or
inserting. This enables it by default for non-evil users and in insert
mode for evil users. Also enables selecting text with shift.
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.
