Updating Helm settings and adding new bindings #71
Conversation
Projectile takes time to load (around 0.2 seconds) and it is lazy loading friendly if we want to enable it globally. To be able to lazy load it, we encapsulate the binded calls in spacemacs/xxx functions which take care of firing the mode globally if required.
instead of at loading time which is useless :-)
Sometimes the spacemacs key bindings for ido-vertical did not work.
I had to explicitly enable projectile-enable-caching and explicitly start projectile-mode to initialize projectile-projects-cache
Also add ?r projectile-replace to commander
It is now part of the package
This is the command for helm-projectile
Diminish it to Ⓖ
guide-key does not play well with golden-ratio. also set delay to 1 seconds, can be configured in .spacemacs for shorter delay
Work-around a current bug in evil-nc with 24.4 byte-compilation
Add More Modes To trishume Layer
* Added helm-mode to `use-package` idle timer to speed up opening * Bindings: "s" prefix signifies showing buffer data: - l = links / tags\ - y = yank / kill ring - m = mark ring - r = registers "f" prefix signifies file activies - h = helm-find-files "F1" default tied to help, so now is `helm-apropos`

Keep it to have it enabled right when it is first used. Otherwise we have to wait withtout doing nothing to enable the mode. Watch for the "Helm completion enabled" in message buffer. It appears only if you let the idle timer activate the mode, using <SPC> b s does not activate it (even though the command works).

I found in my testing that running hitting "SPC b s" still loaded the package the first time when using the :idle timer. I didn't have a dependency error by not specifying it in :config.

Indeed <SPC> b s does work but there is no "Helm completion enabled" message in *Messages*. Wait for a few seconds and it will appears. By duplicating (helm-mode +1) in :prog the first <SPC> b s shows the message.
I don't know exactly what this message is for, but there is a difference between the 2 behaviors and I prefere the behaviors to be consistent.

@Ralesi Very cool, see my comments above. |

For SPC f h, I thought it would be nice to include helm even with the default being IDO. I for one agree with your preference for ido, but there are times when helm outperforms, especially when wanting to open multiple files or in an alternate window or frame. I thought about using h as a prefix for help (F1) but it seemed like that was used for helm specific commands as well. I would vote that since helm is one of the pivotal packages in this repo, that we shouldn't prefix something with 'h' just because its a helm command. I think we should separate out mnemonics for what they do rather than the package associated. I think for the most part that they have been separated out; for example x is used for text manipulation, w for window management, and f for file management, but there are certain prefixes that have disparate commands in their domain (c, h, and s come to mind). I would think all prompts (from helm or other packages) that would show you emacs or buffer related data without actually modifying anything should have the s prefix. This could probably be extended to the bookmark list as well (currently 'hb'). I know 's' is busy with the autohighlight microstate (is this for 'symbol'?) guide-key has a 2.0 milestone of providing descriptions on each prefix, which would make it even more valuable to break all commands down by utility prefix. |

I just tried again Agree 100% with I like the registers being under I'm not againt having a prefix with several meaning though. For instance |
|
I like using 's' for search (even symbols is a search), and r for all the register related data. Would you like me to rebase with current HEAD and update? |
|
Yes, but watch out, I messed with the branches and there is a new develop branch. I suggest you to branch again from the current |
Added helm-mode to
use-packageidle timer to load when idle instead of just defer."SPC s" Bindings ("s" prefix signifies showing buffer data)
"SPC f" Bindings ("f" prefix signifies file activies)
"SPC F1" is
helm-apropos
