Spacemacs to Doom migration notes

  • M x: (spacemacs: SPC SPC) replaced by SPC :.
  • Terminology: layers in spacemacs are called modules in doom.
  • Vim surround: (e.g. s)) d oes not work by default. See https://teddit.net/r/emacs/comments/e72m9j/evilsurround_shortcuts_in_doom_coming_from/ (But note: maybe use evil-embrace instead.)
  • Zoom: transient state (spacemacs: SPC z x) replaced by C + and C -.
  • Open scratch buffer: (spacemacs: SPC b s) replaced by SPC b x or SPC x for a minimized version, and SPC b X for full window.
  • Describe key: (spacemacs: SPC h d k) replaced by SPC h k.
  • SPC SPC now does projectile-find-file.
  • Alt-tabbing between buffers (spacemacs: SPC Tab) is not bound (?). I now use :bn and :bp.
  • Comment line: (spacemacs: SPC c l) replaced by gcc
  • visual-line-mode is on by default in doom, which is annoying e.g. when doing yy to yank a line. Toggled with SPC t w.
  • org-mode: the indentation in doom is soft, i.e. does not insert spaces in the file, only displays the text as indented. Takes getting used to but nice.
