Things under legendu.net/outdated are outdated technologies that the author does not plan to update any more. Please look for better alternatives.

The SpaceVim project has been abandoned. Check AstroVim instead.

Tricks & Traps¶

SpaceVim might be too slow when editing a large (>50M) text file. One trick helps is to disable plugins when editing large files. For example, if you are using NeoVim, you can use the following command to edit a large file without loading plugins.
```
 :::bash
 nvim --noplugin /path/to/large/text/file
```
By default SpaceVim enables GUI colors. This makes SpaceVim extremely slow in terminals that does not support 24 bits true colors. To resolve the performance issue, simplify disable GUI colors by setting enable_guicolors = false under [options] in your SpaceVim configure file $HOME/.SpaceVim.d/init.toml.
SpaceVim has mapped q as smart buffer close. The normal functionality (recording macros) of q can be get by <leader>qr. By default, <leader> is \ so you can use \qr to record macros in SpaceVim.
Custom configuration files are in the directory $HOME/.SpaceVim.d.

Some Useful Key Bindings¶

Key Binding	Description
SPC b f	format the buffer
SPC t 8	highlight characters that execeeds 80th column
SPC t f	highlight characters that execeeds the fill column
SPC [1-9]	jump to the windows with the specific number

Window¶

Key Binding	Description
SPC 1	got to window number 1
SPC 2	go to window number 2

Comment¶

Key Binding	Description
SPC c h	hide/show comments
SPC c l	toggle comment line

Key Binding	Description
:bn	go to the next buffer
SPC b n	go to the next buffer
:bp	go to the previous buffer
:e #	go to the previous buffer
SPC b p	go to the previous buffer
SPC t f	highlight characters that execeeds the fill column
SPC [1-9]	jump to the windows with the specific number

Lanugage Server Protocol¶

Language Layers¶

Available Layers >> lang#python

I’m not sure whether this layer is really helpful given that you always uses the LSP layer.
