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.
I don't use inf-ruby that much, so I'm fine with using it via M-x when
needed. Specially as a bunch of it's keybindings overrides a few global
keybindings I have set.
Spring has changed and is no longer compatible with the way that
rspec-mode implements spring support. Hence we need to disable
rspec-mode's support and attempts at using Spring the wrong way.
Once rspec-mode has been updated to support spring again, we can
re-enable this.
With Emacs 27 we are using the new built-in
display-fill-column-indicator mode. It does not have issues with
web-mode like fci-mode from the fill-column-indicator package does.
This module wraps around the fill-column-indicator and it's
fci-mode. This will enable easy switch-over to Emacs 27's native
display-fill-column-indicator feature.
Also create a new siren-display-line-numbers module and function that's
responsible for turning on the display of line numbers. Future changes
to how line numbers are displayed can now be done in a single place.
There are a few major modes which are not based on prog-mode, that I
want to behave like prog-mode. Previously each did nearly all the same
setup that's done via the prog-mode hooks. Now instead let's actually
run runs the hooks for prog-mode.
- Switch from highlight-indentation package to highlight-indent-guides.
- Activate visual indentation in a prog-mode hook, rather than doing
within each individual major mode. It was already done within all
major modes based on prog-mode anyway.
- Add new siren-display-indetation module and function as a central way
to enable visual indetation guides. This makes switching the
underlying package at some point in the future much easier.
