Company backends are now built from an alist (+company-backend-alist),
which can be manipulated through set-company-backend!. Backends can now
be set to all children of a parent mode (text-mode, prog-mode, etc),
like so:
(set-company-backend! :derived 'text-mode 'company-dabbrev)
or only for an exact major-mode:
(set-company-backend! 'markdown-mode 'company-dabbrev-code)
Backends cascade. So combining the two examples above will cause
company-backends in a markdown-buffer (which is derived from text-mode)
to be (company-dabbrev-code company-dabbrev).
This allows you to control what search engines for project-search
commands (bound to SPC / p) to try, and in what order. If you didn't
want to use ripgrep, for instance, remove 'rg from these variables, or
move it to the end of the list.
Fixes wrong-number-of-args error caused by new counsel-more-chars
implementation upstream.
These hacks removed the hard-coded minimum input length requirement for
counsel-ag and its ilk. The recent counsel update made those
requirements customizable through counsel-more-chars-alist.
Phasing out the +module@name convention for plain old
+module-name-hydra, which is more compatible with elisp reflection tools
like describe-function and such.
Also, Emacs starts up faster now. Tee hee.
The display function was being set on ivy-display-functions-props. The
correct variable for it is ivy-display-functions-alist.
Reported by randoom in discord.
After some profiling, it turns out map-put and map-delete are 5-7x
slower (more on Emacs 25) than delq, setf/alist-get and add-to-list for
small lists (under 250 items), which is exactly how I've been using
them.
The only caveat is alist-get's signature is different on Emacs 25, thus
a polyfill is necessary in core-lib.
+ It wasn't preserving insertion order of multiple backends
+ It failed when BACKENDS = nil (supposed to unset mode backends)
+ Use eq/equal as a test-fn conditionally (glorious, glorious premature
optimization)
Now accepts a flat plist of all its former parameters, including new
:parameters and :actions properties to increase your control over the
fate of your windows.
The old usage of set-popup-rule! is deprecated and may not work right!
The :ui popup module has also seen a major refactor to improve
efficiency and load times.
Sorry! This is the last "big" change before 2.1!
+ :popup -> set-popup-rule!
+ :popups -> set-popup-rules!
+ :company-backend -> set-company-backend!
+ :evil-state -> set-evil-initial-state!
I am slowly phasing out the setting system (def-setting! and set!),
starting with these.
What are autodefs? These are functions that are always defined, whether
or not their respective modules are enabled. However, when their modules
are disabled, they are replaced with macros that no-op and don't
waste time evaluating their arguments.
The old set! function will still work, for a while.
