OSX contribution layer

[avendael]

A contribution layer that provides common OSX keybindings. For now, only the most rudimentary keybindings are defined. Later on, I'll add support for shifted ⌘ and ⌥ movement commands.

Cool I have something similar in my .spacemacs file. One significant thing I do differently is I have some hacky logic that makes it so that every time I use the Vim d operator it doesn't nuke my OSX clipboard.

Basically I keep OSX clipboard integration disabled most of the time but I have special copy and paste functions that screw with things so that command C and V will use the OS clipboard. Not sure if this kind of hackery would be good to put in here, especially since it only works with https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port

My .spacemacs:

Nice layer, I like it.... mostly :-)

I'm ok with most of the key bindings to have a better integration with OS X environment but I'll reject all the bindings about navigation because spacemacs is meant to be used with evil.

I'll comment the keybindings to remove.

Not this one.

Thank you for the feedback guys.

@trishume I'm also a user of emacs-mac-port, and for some reason I like the default behavior of having just one clipboard. We can probably make this configurable, in such a way that it would only work on emacs-mac-port. Upon looking at your dotspacemacs, I also like the idea of using either hyper or super for command. It might be better if we expose this as a configurable option.

@syl20bnr I'm ok with removing the navigation keybindings. Personally, I don't use them. The ones I regularly use are the non-navigation ones such as copy, paste, cut, and switch to full screen.

I'm also in favor for having only one clipboard, this is what most users expect from an OS X application. It makes sense to have a configurable option for this (same clipboard) which can be turned on by default.

I'm merging this for now.

[syl20bnr]

I would add that this option should be cross-platform so if we achieve consistency across OSes/platforms we can put it in spacemacs core.

👍

Thank you Evan ! Neat layer !
Cherry-picked into develop, you can safely delete your branch.
