Lightweight evil configuration for Emacs

Spacelite (minimal yet functional emacs)

Spacelite is just a minimal evil + emacs configuration with following:

• evil with evil-escape, evil-iedit
• use-package for dependencies
• spacemacs like leader key(space by default) bindings.
• helm with helm-ag, helm-projectile
• projectile with recentf,
• undo-tree
• flyspell for spellchecking
• diminish for clean status line
• magit with evil-magit
• some simple MacOs keybindings (only enabled in OSX/emacs)
• which-key for shortcut help
• solarized-dark theme
• highlight-parentheses, evil-anzu, restart-emacs, emacs-shell etc.
• scala support with cutting edge ensime (you can(should if you are not using ensime snapshot builds already) disable this in init.el)
• a ligh but useful modeline with spaceline.

All of above with proper(for me) evil(-like) key bindings.

Note: This "thing" is my personal configuration that I use at work and personal life; only tested on a Macbook Pro running MacOS Sierra.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/hzenginx/spacelite ~/.emacs.d

Why

There is spacemacs as we all know. But for me it comes with too much unnecessary packages. Also I don't like the concept of layers as it doesn't feels flexible enough. Also this can be a start point for people who wants to start with emacs and evil.

Contribution

If you use this configuration and want to improve just open a issue and/or a pull request.

What is missing?

This is just a list that I want to implement in near feature.

• Spacemacs like toggles
• Optimization on package loading. There may be some packages needs to be deferred.
• Generic goto defination like Spacemacs. (I want to be able to use this configuration for multiple programming languages at the same time.)
• Spaceline
