: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.
+ Add doom-switch-frame-hook
+ Replace doom-{enter,exit}-{buffer,window}-hook with
doom-switch-{buffer,window}-hook
+ New switch-buffer hooks run on buffer-list-update-hook rather than
in select-window advice.
+ Blank our buffer-list-update-hook in some places to reduce how many
times it gets triggered.
+ Add +nav-flash-exclude-commands to control where
+nav-flash-blink-cursor-maybe should not trigger nav-flash.
+ Rename API to conform to Doom naming conventions
+ +nav-flash-blink-cursor
+ +nav-flash-blink-cursor-maybe
+ +nav-flash|delayed-blink-cursor
+ +nav-flash|blink-cursor
+ +nav-flash|blink-cursor-maybe
+ +nav-flash*blink-cursor
+ doom-before-switch-buffer-hook => doom-exit-buffer-hook
+ doom-before-switch-window-hook => doom-exit-window-hook
+ doom-after-switch-buffer-hook => doom-enter-buffer-hook
+ doom-after-switch-window-hook => doom-enter-window-hook
Shorter, easier-to-type names that better describe their intended
purpose.
The old names are still usable, but deprecated.
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.
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
