doom refresh -> doom sync
refresh isn't going anywhere, but sync will be the canonical command
here on out, because it is more appropriate for kind of work it will be
doing in the future.

* Description
This holy module brings the vim experience to Emacs.
** Module Flags
+ =+everywhere= Enables evilified keybinds everywhere possible. Uses the
[[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection][evil-collection]] plugin as a foundation.

** Hacks
+ The o/O keys will respect and continue commented lines (can be disabled by
setting ~+evil-want-o/O-to-continue-comments~ to ~nil~).
+ In visual mode, =*= and =#= will search for the current selection instead of
the word-at-point.
+ The ~:g[lobal]~ ex command has been modified to highlight matches.
+ More of vim's filename modifiers are supported in ex commands (like ~:p~,
~:p:h~ or ~:t~) than vanilla evil-mode offers.
+ A custom filename modifier is available in Doom: ~:P~, which expands to the
project root (throws an error if not in a project).
* Prerequisites
This module has no external prerequisites.
* Features
** Ported vim plugins
The following vim plugins have been ported to evil:
| Vim Plugin | Emacs Plugin | Keybind(s) |
|-----------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------|
| vim-commentary | evil-nerd-commenter | omap =gc= |
| vim-easymotion | evil-easymotion | omap =gs= |
| vim-seek or vim-sneak | evil-snipe | mmap =s= / =S=, omap =z= / =Z= & =x= / =X= |
| vim-surround | evil-embrace and evil-surround | vmap =S=, omap =ys= |
This module has also ported vim-unimpaired keybinds to Emacs.
In other modules:
+ The tools/neotree & tools/treemacs modules provide a =NERDTree= equivalent.
+ The editor/multiple-cursors module contains functionality equal to the
following vim plugins:
+ evil-multiedit => vim-multiedit
+ evil-mc => vim-multiple-cursors
** Custom Text Objects
This module provides a couple extra text objects, along with the built-in ones.
For posterity, here are the built-in ones:
+ =w W= words
+ =s= sentences
+ =p= paragraphs
+ =b= parenthesized blocks
+ =b ( ) { } [ ] < >= braces, parentheses and brackets
+ =' " `= quotes
+ =t= tags
+ =o= symbols
And these are text objects added by this module:
+ =a= C-style function arguments (provided by ~evil-args~)
+ =B= any block delimited by braces, parentheses or brackets (provided by
~evil-textobj-anyblock~)
+ =c= Comments
+ =f= For functions (but relies on the major mode to have defined a sane
+ =g= The entire buffer
+ =i j k= by indentation (=k= includes one line above; =j= includes one line
above and below) (provided by ~evil-indent-plus~)
+ =x= XML attributes (provided by ~exato~)
** Custom Ex Commands
| Ex Command | Description |
|-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~:@~ | Apply macro on selected lines |
| ~:al[ign][!] REGEXP~ | Align text to the first match of REGEXP. If BANG, align all matches on each line |
| ~:cp[!] NEWPATH~ | Copy the current file to NEWPATH |
| ~:dash QUERY~ | Look up QUERY (or the symbol at point) in dash docsets |
| ~:dehtml [INPUT]~ | HTML decode selected text / inserts result if INPUT is given |
| ~:enhtml [INPUT]~ | HTML encode selected text / inserts result if INPUT is given |
| ~:iedit REGEXP~ | Invoke iedit on all matches for REGEXP |
| ~:k[ill]all[!]~ | Kill all buffers (if BANG, affect buffer across workspaces) |
| ~:k[ill]b~ | Kill all buried buffers |
| ~:k[ill]m[!] REGEXP~ | Kill buffers whose name matches REGEXP (if BANG, affect buffers across workspaces) |
| ~:k[ill]o~ | Kill all other buffers besides the selected one |
| ~:k[ill]~ | Kill the current buffer |
| ~:lo[okup] QUERY~ | Look up QUERY on an online search engine |

| ~:mv[!] NEWPATH~ | Move the current file to NEWPATH |
| ~:na[rrow]~ | Narrow the buffer to the selection |
| ~:pad~ | Open a scratch pad for running code quickly |
| ~:ral[ign][!] REGEXP~ | Right-Align text that matches REGEXP. If BANG, align all matches on each line |

| ~:tcd[!]~ | Send =cd X= to tmux. X = the project root if BANG, X = ~default-directory~ otherwise |
* Configuration
** Removing evil-mode
You must do two things to remove Evil:
1. Remove =:editor evil= from =~/.doom.d/init.el=,
2. Run ~doom sync~ to clean up lingering dependencies and regenerate your
autoloads files.
3. [OPTIONAL] You may want to assign new values to ~doom-leader-alt-key~ and
~doom-localleader-alt-key~. These are bound to =C-c= and =C-c l= by default.
#+begin_quote
Ignore ~doom-leader-key~ and ~doom-localleader-key~, they don't apply to
non-evil sessions.
#+end_quote
Evil-specific configuration and keybindings (defined with ~map!~) will be
ignored without =:editor evil= present (and omitted when byte-compiling).
Keep in mind that, at the time of this writing, Doom was designed by a vimmer,
for vimmers. Little consideration has been put into designing a keybind scheme
for vanilla Emacs users (though it's being worked on!).
That means that much of Doom's functionality will be orphaned in an evil-less
setup. You'll have to set your own keybinds.
I suggest studying [[file:../../config/default/+emacs-bindings.el][config/default/+emacs-bindings.el]] to see what keybinds are
available for non-evil users. Otherwise, you may find inspiration [[file:../../../docs/example_configs.org][on the example
Doom configurations page]].
** Restoring old substitution behavior on s/S
Doom replaces the =s= and =S= keys with the =evil-snipe= package (a port of
vim-seek/vim-sneak for 2-character versions of f/F/t/T).
To disable evil-snipe on s/S, you can either:
1. Disable ~evil-snipe-mode~ by adding ~(after! evil-snipe (evil-snipe-mode
-1))~ to =$DOOMDIR/config.el=,
2. Or disable =evil-snipe= completely with ~(package! evil-snipe :disable t)~
added to =$DOOMDIR/packages.el=, but this will also disable incremental
highlighting for the f/F/t/T motions keys.
3. Or use =cl= and =cc=, respectively; they do the same thing.
** Restoring old Y behavior (yank the whole line)
Doom changes the behavior of the =Y= key in normal mode to yank-to-EOL
(equivalent to =y$=). This was to make it consistent with the =C= and =D=
capital operators, and because it was redundant with =yy=, which is easier to
type than =y$=.
If you prefer the old behavior, it can be reversed with:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;; add to ~/.doom.d/config.el
(setq! evil-want-Y-yank-to-eol nil)
#+END_SRC
** Disabling cursor movement when exiting insert mode
Vim (and evil) move the cursor one character back when exiting insert mode. If
you prefer that it didn't, set:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;; add to ~/.doom.d/config.el
(setq evil-move-cursor-back nil)
#+END_SRC
