Salt layer <enter> key binding

[numkem]

With the release of 0.104, the salt layer was changed to use salt-mode.

The keybinding for the standard enter key has been changed to do a line return and indent by one. While this would work with blocks of codes it doesn't work at all when I just want to add empty lines.

I understand I should probably go back to normal mode and do something like 2o to insert 2 lines but I feel that is a pretty big step for just inserting empty lines.

Is there a way to change this in the layer itself or at least point me to how to change a keybinding in a mode.

Thank you.

I can't reproduce this. I don't know anything about salt files, but I can hit return as much as I like with no issues. Is there some specific file I can test?

[numkem]

Files needs to finish by .sls and they are in a yaml format.

I managed to reproduce it and indeed it seems to be an annoying behaviour. Sadly I don't know anything about salt. Pinging the salt-layer's author in case he can help: @beardedprojamz :-)

https://github.com/beardedprojamz/salt-mode - I'm happy to accept pull requests - but not currently using spacemacs for my everyday stuff - or writing enough salt to be annoyed. 😛 It'd probably be something in how the mmm-mode works with the jinja stuff. I definitely doubt it's a spacemacs issue, as the layer just turns the mode on. But, you could also test salt-mode directly with vanilla emacs too.

Thanks for the information @beardedprojamz. I didn't knew you weren't using Spacemacs anymore, sorry for bothering you 😄

@numkem It seems to be an upstream issue, so you can report it there (and contribute maybe 😉 ). That said I think we can close this issue 😄

[deybhayden]

I'm pretty flakey, so I might wrap back around at some point. 😉 But definitely a responsive maintainer and will merge any fixes 👍

As it's finally not a spacemacs bug, I'll close this one. All information are there if somebody want to go further with this bug (i.e. contributing upstream ☺️)
