Completion rarely works in the middle of (or at the beginning of) a
symbol, so we insert a space in front of the cursor in those cases and
then invoke completion.
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).
+ 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)
+ :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.
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.
:defer now supports a hook, a cons cell with (SYMBOL . INTEGER) where
SYMBOL is a hook and INTEGER is a number of idle seconds before the
package is autoloaded, or just the integer (as per the default behavior
of :defer).
Also fixes an issue where switch-buffer-deffered packages (like
smartparens) wouldn't load.
