: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.
+ 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.

projectile-project-root no longer returns `default-directory` if not in
a project (it returns nil). As such, doom-project-* functions (and their
uses) have been refactored.
+ doom-project-p & doom-project-root are aliases for
projectile-project-p & projectile-project-root.
+ doom-project-{p,root,name,expand} now has a DIR argument (for
consistency, since projectile-project-name and
projectile-project-expand do not).
+ The nocache parameter is no longer necessary, as projectile's caching
behavior is now more sane.
+ Removed some projectile advice/hacks that are no longer necessary.
+ Updated unit tests
We would need to use `'equal` for comparison, but Emacs 25 only allows `'eq`.
Using `advice-add` to override `alist-get` does not work, because `setf`
has special handling for `alist-get`.
`repl.el`: Switch to a hash table which already supports multiple comparison
functions, and changing of elements even in Emacs 25.
`eshell/autoload/settings.el`: use conditional set-or-push.
Drop `doom*alist-get`, it is unused now.
Thanks to @hlissner for the reimplementation.
Margins cause many full-line progress bars to become jumpy; scrolling to
follow the cursor at eol (just beyond the edge of the window). It's
better to not use margins at all.
Also, this change removes the $ truncation glyphs and enables
visual-line-mode to wrap long text.
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.
+ :sh can now be fed commands to run immediately, e.g. :sh cd %:P to
start from the current project root.
+ Eshell will spawn a new eshell on every split. This can be controlled
via `+eshell-enable-new-shell-on-split'
+ Eshell can be configured to kill the window when you kill the eshell
process. This is disabled by default. See
`+eshell-kill-window-on-exit'. Some commands ignore this, like the
quit-and-close command (I alias this to "q").
+ eshell-directory-name has been moved to doom-etc-dir/eshell. It will
seem like eshell has forgotten all your history, but you can move
~/.eshell (or ~/.doom.d/eshell) to ~/.emacs.d/.local/etc/eshell and
you'll be fine.
+ eshell-aliases-file has been moved to ~/.doom.d/eshell_aliases by
default.
+ Automatic writing to eshell-aliases-file has been disabled. No shell
so aggressively persists aliases. You may maintain it yourself, or use
the new +eshell-aliases variable to customize eshell from Doom.
+ C-s now invokes a history search with ivy/helm.
+ C-c s and C-c v split horizontally and vertically. Inspired by tmux.
+ C-c x kill the current eshell and its window. Inspired by tmux.j
+ New set-eshell-alias! autodef for defining your own aliases.
+ +eshell/open-workspace has been replaced with +eshell/open-fullscreen.
+ Added the "cd-to-project" command. I suggest you alias it.
The error handlers were a little too effective. They obscured a large
chunk of the stacktrace after errors, even in debug mode. This fixes
that and ensures backtraces in debug mode are more helpful.
