Henrik Lissner 09cb4f6716 Major refactor & optimization of how modules load their packages 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.		2018-05-25 00:46:16 +02:00

Features

This holy module brings the vim experience to Emacs.

Removing evil-mode

See the corresponding question in the FAQ.

Features

A better :g[lobal] command with incremental highlighting.
Adds the :al[ign] ex command: offers an ex interface to align-regexp with incremental highlighting.
Support for more of vim's filename modifiers in ex commands (like :p, :p:h or :t) than vanilla evil-mode offers.
A list of new text objects:
- Blocks: B (from evil-textobj-anyblock)
- Args: a (from evil-args)
- Indentation: i / I / J (from evil-indent-plus)
Incorporates vim functionality ported to evil:
- vim-commentary => evil-commentary
- vim-easymotion => evil-easymotion
- vim-multiedit => evil-multiedit
- vim-multiple-cursors => evil-mc & evil-multiedit
- vim-seek or vim-sneak => evil-snipe
- vim-surround => evil-embrace & evil-surround
NERDTree equivalent is available in :tools neotree

Multiple-cursors

Two multiple-cursor implementations exist in this module: evil-mc and evil-multiedit. Together, these provide the functionality of vim-multiple-cursors.

The former lets you place "clone" cursors. The latter lets you interactively edit many regions at once (like an interactive version of :%s).

A hybrid code-folding system

This module combines evil-vimish-fold and hideshow. The former allows arbitrary folds and the latter allows folds on markers and indentation. Together, they create a more consistent (and feature-complete) code-folding system.

Most vim folding keys should work, e.g. zr, zm, za, zo, etc.

Hacks

Automatically moves to new window when splitting
From visual mode, * and # will search for the current selection instead of the word-at-point.

Differences from vim

Column-wise ranges in ex commands are enabled by default. i.e. the range in :'<,'>s/a/b will only affects the visual selection, not full lines (see evil-ex-visual-char-range).
:g will incrementally highlight buffer matches.
