`ivy-completion-in-region' struggles with completing certain
+evil-ex-specific constructs, like globs (:e prefix*.el) or vim filename
modifiers (:e %:p:h).
The default setting of 200 is too low for common use-cases like
`describe-function`, `describe-variable` or `counsel-projectile`.
This has a performance impact, but it's barely noticeable on a fast
machine. If performance is not acceptable, set `ivy-flx-limit` lower or
consider disabling the `+fuzzy` feature entirely.
This provides an alternative backend for filtering and sorting ivy
searches. Uses prescient instead of flx for fuzzy completion when both
+prescient and +fuzzy are selected.
: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.
- Highlights remote/tramp files with ivy-remote face
- Highlights non-file-visiting buffers with ivy-subdir face
- Highlight modified buffers with ivy-modified-buffer face
- Disable built-in ivy-switch-buffer transformer (redundant with our own
transformer)
- Mode icons will now fall back to fundamental-mode icon, rather than
the blank file icon (whose irregular width ruins ivy's formatting)
- Fixes project-based buffer name highlighting in switch-to-buffer
- Fixes a void-variable ivy-rich--ivy-switch-buffer-transformer error
Relevant to #1159
Let-binding `ivy-use-virtual-buffers` is neater and more robust than the
previous solution using some copy-pasta. Calling the unwind routine
will become important once counsel is patched to restore buffer-list.
When `+ivy-buffer-preview` is non-nil, our various switch-buffer
functions will preview the current candidate buffer, like how
`counsel-switch-buffer` works.
When `ivy-use-virtual-buffers` is non-nil, virtual buffers are *not*
previewed unless `+ivy-buffer-preview` is `'everything`.
Allow current buffer to be selected when switching other window, so you
can quickly get a second window to the current buffer.
Preselect the most recently selected buffer, so repeated C-x b RET will
switch between your two most recent buffers.
