evil-adjust

Adjustments for Emacs end-of-line eval- commands in Evil's normal state.

This package compensates for annoying off-by-one incompatibilities between evil-normal-state and lisp modes.

When using lisp-interaction-mode in evil-normal-state, one cannot use C-xC-j (eval-print-last-sexp) on the last character of a sexp, since Emacs thinks the cursor is one space back. This issue usually crops up when executing the command at the end of the line.

One way of avoiding this is to set the variable evil-move-cursor-back to nil. However, this is inconvenient for the majority of commands, since the cursor is left "hanging over empty space" at the end of the line.

Instead, this package adjusts for the issue by remapping the affected function to an evil-adjust wrapper: evil-adjust-eval-print-last-sexp.

Emacs 25

With Emacs 25, a similar issue occurs additionally in both emacs-lisp-mode and lisp-interaction-mode when using C-xC-e (eval-last-sexp).

This is handled by the wrapper evil-adjust-eval-last-sexp.

Installation

• Place evil-adjust.el on your emacs load-path.

• Add the following initialization code to your .emacs or .emacs.d/init.el file:

    (require 'evil-adjust)
    (evil-adjust)
  

Installation (Spacemacs)

• Add the following to dotspacemacs-additional-packages in your init file:

    (evil-adjust :location (recipe :fetcher github :repo "troyp/evil-adjust"))
  

• Add the initialization code (as above) to dotspacemacs/user-config in your init file.

Disabling a remapping

If you're on Emacs 25, but don't want to remap eval-last-sexp (perhaps the latest Evil has corrected the problem), you can perform only the eval-print-last-sexp remapping with:

(evil-adjust :noemacs25fix)

Similarly, :noevalprintfix can be used if you only want the eval-last-sexp remapping.
