SPC s f is awesome! I didn't know about that. Do you find this in the spacemacs-docs? I went through it a bit but missed this. I know there is tons of stuff to use in spacemacs and I am merely at 10% maybe;)

spfeiffer09:03:38

I feel like i am at 1%, and still consider myself quite productive. TBH, i never used C-u or SPC u ever.

jeff.terrell13:03:07

Sweet! Didn't know about SPC s f. Note that if you're wanting to search within the current buffer's file, SPC s S will do that (saving a step compared to the more general SPC s f).

It's too bad Emacs/Spacemacs doesn't have very clear way of indicating if a command can take an universal argument. I made a habit - if I use something a lot - I will always try to check docs for the function.

ag18:03:39

there are many, many simple examples I can count - like do you use SPC f j - dired-jump? Now if you give it an argument -it prompts for the folder

jeff.terrell18:03:00

@ag - I was thinking about it more, how do you scroll up if you rebound C-u? Do you use C-b, or what?

ag18:03:32

C-e/C-y

jeff.terrell18:03:53

Do you say like 20 C-y, or just hold it down?

ag19:03:22

that's a very good question, C-e/C-y is very useful (at least it used to be) because unlike j/k - it stores the number argument. So if you do 20 C-y then it does scroll 20, and then if you do C-y again - it keeps it scrolling by 20 lines. That's how it is in Vim. Unfortunately, this seems changed in evil. It used to be just like in Vim.

jeff.terrell19:03:59

That's not how my vim works…the second C-y just scrolls by one line.

ag19:03:25

hmm... I always assumed that's not how it should work

ag19:03:47

maybe I'm now imagining things

ag19:03:27

I was sure that's how it used to work... damn it...

ag19:03:48

I'm going slightly mad

jeff.terrell19:03:59

Happens to the best of us…

ag19:03:01

And I was so close to unleash my rage in a github issue...

ag19:03:00

now I think I understand why my colleagues avoid talking to me about editors/IDEs

ag18:03:33

Do you know about SPC N j/k?

jeff.terrell18:03:35

I don't have SPC N anything, nor SPC n j/k. Is that something on the develop branch?

ag18:03:20

> in master it seems to be SPC n by the way

jeff.terrell18:03:51

Weird, I'm not seeing that option. I'm on version [email protected], which spacemacs/check-for-new-version says is the latest version.

jeff.terrell18:03:17

That's neat though. I think I'm comfortable enough with all the scrolling bindings I probably wouldn't use that, but I can see the utility for sure. 👍

ag18:03:27

does SPC h d d spacemacs/scroll-transient-state shows anything?

jeff.terrell18:03:18

Yeah, and if I invoke the transient state manually, it shows up. But it's anemic compared to what you showed. You can only scroll up or down by half (`<`/`>`) or full (`,`/`.`) pages.
