visual selection and X primary behavior
by Linus Arver 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello all, In regular Emacs (with Evil mode turned on, of course), I can (1) do visual selection of a region, and it will automatically copy that selection into the X primary selection buffer. This way, I can simply do SHIFT+INSERT in another X program (e.g., Firefox) and I will paste the selection that way. Conversely, I can (2) SHIFT+INSERT into Emacs/Evil (in Insert mode), and it will paste whatever is in the X primary buffer. However, behavior (1) does not work in terminal-mode Emacs (`emacs -nw`), although behavior (2) works as expected. I have tried to work around this by using my `"+y` macro which is enabled with (define-key evil-normal-state-map ",y" "\"+y") in my .emacs, but it fails with the message After 0 kbd macro iterations: X selection unavailable for this frame . Is this a bug in Evil or is it something in Emacs itself? -L

spacemacs and other approaches for organizing emacs packages
by Tom Short 30 Nov '14

30 Nov '14

Hi everyone, I've been looking to update the mess that is my .emacs file. Looking around, there are many new Evil packages and new ways of managing them. I've come across the following as a rather ambitious way to integrate Evil into many modes: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs Anyone have an opinion on it? I'm trying it briefly. I like the discover-ability, but it's a lot of new muscle memory to learn. Any other suggestions for organizing .emacs? I mainly use Org, ESS, and of course Evil.

eww-link-keymap
by Alexander Shukaev 18 Nov '14

Hey! `eww-link-keymap' occurs when one places point over some hyperlink. It looks like `eww-link-keymap' takes precedence over `evil-normal-state-map' and friends. Why? How to avoid it? Thanks in advance, Alexander

A few questions on Evil
by Alexander Shukaev 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hello, everyone! I have 2 questions on Evil: 1. How to wipe out all the default key maps which are present in `evil-maps.el' preferably with as few calls as possible? Note that I'm aware of how to do that with 1 by 1 `undefined' assignmetns, but I'm looking for something simpler. 2. Is this (evil-define-key 'normal global-map (kbd "<left>") 'do-something) indentical to (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "<left>") 'do-something) ? Regards, Alexander.

Naughty undo-tree
by Óscar Fuentes 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

>From time to time undo-tree behaves strangely. With a single undo step it can undo a char insert or whole paragraphs that took several minutes to enter. Worse, sometimes it fails while trying to redo with: primitive-undo: Unrecognized entry in undo list undo-tree-canary Combined with one of those huge undo steps, this amounts to serious data loss. Does someone else experience these problems? Is Evil handicapped in some way if I stop using undo-tree?

evil mode with pabbrev: how to select alternatives
by Eric S Fraga 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Dear all, Using pabbrev in a buffer with evil works fine if the default suggestion is desired, simply by hitting TAB. However, if I hit TAB twice, this brings up the pabbrev buffer with alternate selections from which an alternative is selected by typing a digit. This buffer comes up in evil mode which is not appropriate. I would like for evil to be disabled in this buffer. I have tried (add-to-list 'evil-emacs-state-modes 'pabbrev-mode) but this appears to have no effect. I can, of course, type C-z and then the choice but this is somewhat clumsy. Any suggestions? Thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.4.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-999ec15 : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2014-04-27 15:05:20 -0500)

[Bug?] Evil does not activate when loaded via customize
by Trevor Murphy 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Hi, list! I'm perverse and want to install Evil via package.el and load it via customize. I notice that Evil does not turn on at startup when I customize evil-mode to t. I still have to explicitly call (evil-mode 1) in my init-file. Is this known behavior? If so, is it a bug? If so, can I fix it somehow? Note: I know the documentation explicitly tells me to install Evil like so: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/evil") (require 'evil) (evil-mode 1) As said, I'm just being perverse. Thanks for any pointers! -- Trevor Murphy, ASA, MAAA GnuPG Key: 0x83881C0A

[PATCH 2/2] Remove manual override to `evil-mode' docstring.
by Trevor Murphy 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

The `define-globalized-minor-mode' macro generates a docstring that covers the same information, includes references to more functions, and fits the standard used by many global minor modes. --- evil-core.el | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/evil-core.el b/evil-core.el index cb440b7..7b7309c 100644 --- a/evil-core.el +++ b/evil-core.el @@ -193,12 +193,6 @@ To enable Evil globally, do (evil-mode 1)."
