refactor: deprecate featurep! for modulep!
featurep! will be renamed modulep! in the future, so it's been
deprecated. They have identical interfaces, and can be replaced without
issue.

featurep! was never quite the right name for this macro. It implied that
it had some connection to featurep, which it doesn't (only that it was
similar in purpose; still, Doom modules are not features). To undo such
implications and be consistent with its namespace (and since we're
heading into a storm of breaking changes with the v3 release anyway),
now was the best opportunity to begin the transition.

:ui window-select

Description   unfold

This module provides several methods for selecting windows without the use of the mouse or spatial navigation (e.g. C-w {h,j,k,l}).

The command other-window is remapped to either switch-window or ace-window, depending on which backend you've enabled. It is bound to C-x o (and C-w C-w for evil users).

It also provides numbered windows and selection with the winum package, if desired. Evil users can jump to window N in C-w <N> (where N is a number between 0 and 9). Non evil users have C-x w <N> instead.

This module provides two backends, both providing the same functionality, but with different visual cues. They are ace-window and switch-window.

ace-window

The first character of the buffers changes to a highlighted, user-selectable character.

  • Pros: the content of the buffers are always visible.
  • Cons: The display characters are small and difficult to see (see below for a way to enlarge them).

Custom font-face example

This changes the ace-window display to show a white letter with a red background. The box attribute adds some padding:

(custom-set-faces!
  '(aw-leading-char-face
    :foreground "white" :background "red"
    :weight bold :height 2.5 :box (:line-width 10 :color "red")))

switch-window

Replaces the entire buffer with large letters.

  • Pros: The displayed characters are really easy to see.
  • Cons: You can't see the contents of the buffers.
