- Assign `helm-apropos` to `<helm-prefix> d` instead of the default
`<helm-prefix> a`, as that is now taken up by `helm-do-ag`.
- Use the `helpful` package to describe functions and variables.
Have both `C-c C-'` and `C-c '` bound to `helm-do-ag-project-root`, so
it can be triggered from a terminal. As `C-'` cannot be sent to emacs
due to limitations of terminal emulators.
Also move `helm-do-ag` from `C-c C-s` to `<helm-prefix> a`, now that the
`helm-command-map` can reliably be used. This effectively means you
trigger `helm-do-ag` with `C-c h a` right now.
This involved always loading `helm-config` which sets up
`helm-command-prefix` and `helm-command-map` allowing use-package to set
bindings on the map all without loading anything else until needed.
This is a temporary fix for now, as I prefer lazy-loading packages
whenever possible. However when lazy-loading helm, and then using
use-package to set a keybinding in the helm-command-map before it's
loaded, causes the "m" keybinding to be overridden by the default one
from helm, once helm loads.
- dired-subtree allows inline expansion of directories, effectively
rendering a tree of directories and files.
- dired-narrow enables lives filtering of all entries in a dired buffer,
making searching for and selecting directories and files much easier
and intuitive.
Additionally allow `recursive-narrow-or-widen-dwin` to also trigger
`org-edit-src-code` within org buffers. This technically does not use
narrowing, but it does "focus" on the source code block for editing, so
it at least in spirit embodies the intent of narrowing.
This behavior was inspired by:

By default when region is not active, both `downcase-region` (C-x C-l)
and `upcase-region` (C-x C-u) will operate on surrounding text in
different ways depending on major-mode. This has caught me off guard a
few times.
So let's replace them with safer `downcase-region-only` and
`upcase-region-only` functions which ONLY perform changes when the
region is active. And obviously changes are only applied to the text
within the region.
There's a few outstanding PRs and issues on helm-ag. I've collected the
changes I care about into my own fork under a branch called
`personal-patches`, and using that for now.
Instead of directly using the my current favorite indentation
highlighting package in various places, only use the
siren-display-indentation function. This lets me control it from a
single central place.
Setting company-echo-delay to 0.5 instead of 0 will help reduce unneeded
and intrusive code-completion popups while in the middle of typing. It
seemed like a good idea when I first set it, but after some use, no
thanks.
The whitespace-style tweak, effectively removes "indentation" from the
list of items whitespace-cleanup deals with on save. Indentation is
already being fixed by lsp-mode's before-save hooks, and
whitespace-cleanup was not very intelligent about it. It specifically
replaced all instances of four consecutive spaces in raw string
literals with a tab, which caused issues with multi-line raw strings
containing JSON.
The auto-highlight-symbol package has a nicer interactive editing mode,
but it messes with the visual presentation for selected region and other
things. So let's go back to the less fancy but more reliable
highlight-symbol package.
Also let's properly disable both symbol highlighting packages in golang
and dart, where lsp-mode provides a better and more intelligent symbol
highlighting feature.
And also improve zoom-window color selection by adding a doom-themes
override for zoom-window, removing the hard-coded modeline background
color which was used before.
I'm not fully convinced with swapping out ido with selectrum, so I'll
add the configuration for both, without actually loading them, and
instead manually try them out from time to time.
Also, make ivy use prescient for filtering and sorting, as it does a
much better job than ivy itself does by default. But nothing currently
uses ivy either, so it's more for future if I start using ivy somewhere.
