IMPORTANT - Breaking changes

  • SPC l for avy-goto-line is now under SPC y. SPC l is for
    spacemacs layouts.
  • SPC a p is now for list-processes and SPC a P for proced,
    paradox is now on SPC a k.
  • SPC s l is now used to bring back last search buffer and SPC s j
    is for jumping into a file using imenu.
  • In home buffer, jumping to bookmark list is now on b.
  • Projectile: caching is now disabled by default, while it should not
    break anything if you have some functions relying on caching being
    enabled be sure to activate it explicitly in your dotfile with
    (setq projectile-enable-caching t).
  • Git: new key bindings scheme using evil-magit package. If you want
    to continue to use the old evilified bindings add evil-magit package
    to the dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable of your dotfile.

    If you want to continue to use enh-ruby-mode set the layer variable
