Just updated to the latest version of SM -- window numbering is now handled by a custom version of winum (per https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/commit/de47040a3ae3f1ac64a6dba866c42112fe480299 ). I notice, unfortunately, that the change has removed both the alt-<number> and SPC <number> shortcuts for switching windows. Anyone else encountered this and have a good workaround/fix?

eggsyntax16:11:03

Answer, for anyone else who encounters this: https://github.com/deb0ch/emacs-winum#keybindings

eggsyntax16:11:14

I hate when critical keybindings are removed out from under you by an update, grumble grumble 🗯️

eggsyntax16:11:18

Also my themes no longer work. So far this is not my favorite update...

eggsyntax16:11:23

Resolved that last: I suspect there may have been a change to the custom-set-variables format at the bottom of .spacemacs (the auto-added stuff); SM had created a 2nd such section and presumably they were clashing. I commented out the whole auto-added section and restarted, and things seem ok now.

vuuvi16:11:56

Yeah I’ve also gotten that winum error @eggsyntax

vuuvi16:11:30

I have windmove set so I use shift + arrow key to navigate windows

eggsyntax16:11:43

Oh, I like that. Will you post your config for that?

vuuvi16:11:15

(windmove-default-keybindings)
  (setq windmove-wrap-around t)

vuuvi16:11:31

(it’s pretty simple)

eggsyntax16:11:00

Heh, that's easier than I expected. Thanks!

vuuvi18:11:52

you’re welcome!

vuuvi19:11:34

does any here have experience using evil googles mode?

vuuvi19:11:43

also does anyone else have a good guide on using evil mode? Like going from intermediate level user to an advanced one?

ag19:11:44

what do you mean? would you like to learn Vi keybindings and tricks?

ag19:11:19

Emacs as it turned out supports many (but not all) of course features of Vim

ag19:11:46

good ways of learning Vim keybindings include: - playing Vim-adventures - using vimtutor (Spacemacs includes it, but it's not very good IMO), so you should probably use the one included in Vim - if you have android phone - I'd recommend trying app called "Vim master", it's good way to learn Vim motions

ag19:11:04

Vim master includes some quite esoteric ways to edit text. Some of them would raise questions (is this really an effective way to do things)

vuuvi19:11:38

I see. I am at the point where I am regularly discovering new things and use vim keybindings all the time. I just want to keep going and feel 100% confident that I’ve gotten all or almost all vim keybinding useful knowledge under my belt

vuuvi19:11:56

I haven’t played all of vim-adventures, would you recommend it?

chris20:11:07

spacemacs is thankfully more discoverable in this way than real vim is

chris20:11:44

so if you type di and then wait, which-key will come up with all of your possibilities, which vim doesn't really provide outside of an esoteric help section

vuuvi20:11:15

that’s a great point @U050AFD41 I guess I just gotta keep doing stuff like that

ag20:11:12

> so if you type di and then wait set dotspacemacs-which-key-delay to 0... so you don't have to wait 😉

chris20:11:11

lol I actually have it higher cause I think it's annoying

chris20:11:16

it is very helpful though

ag20:11:38

interesting... I was always annoyed by the delay because it makes me feel slow. I'm gonna give it a try with a higher value, see if that's better

vuuvi20:11:52

yeah I’m definitely going to set that to 0
