6. Emacs

6.1. Better Defaults

+emacs/better-defaults/README.org

This layer enhances the default commands of Emacs and is primarily intended to be used with the emacs editing style as it does not change anything in the Vim key bindings.

However the emacs editing style is not required. You can still use this layer while you are using the vim editing style if you have some kind of mixed style, but some of the layer bindings might be shadowed by the evil key bindings.

The commands defined in this layer are taken from various sources like Prelude.

Features:

  • Smart line navigation: Subsequent presses of C-a toggles between the beginning of the line and the first non-whitespace character. Similarly, subsequent presses of C-e will toggle between the end of the code and the end of the comments.
  • spacemacs/backward-kill-word-or-region: A combination of kill-region and backward-kill-word, depending on whether there is an active region. If there's an active region kill that. If not kill the preceding word.
  • Fill or unfill paragraph: Pressing M-q for the first time fills current paragraph and pressing M-q for the second time unfills it. Note that some modes override this key binding so it's not available everywhere. Due to implementation details unfilling doesn't work when called twice via M-x.

6.7. Semantic

+emacs/semantic/README.org

CEDET is a *C*ollection of *E*macs *D*evelopment *E*nvironment *T*ools written with the end goal of creating an advanced development environment in Emacs.

CEDET also provides a framework for working with programming languages; support for new programming languages can be added and use CEDET to provide IDE-like features. This framework is called Semantic.

Semantic is a package that provides a framework for writing parsers. Parsing is a process of analyzing source code based on programming language syntax.
