Slack layer

This layer provides an interface to the Slack chat service via the emacs-slack package. Where possible, this layer aims to reuse keybindings from the IRC packages in Spacemacs.

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add slack to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Follow the instructions in the emacs-slack package for obtaining your client ID, client secret, and token.

To test that eveyrthing is alright put the following snippet in your dotspacemacs/user-config() replacing client-id, client-secret and token with your info.

Important Do not keep private data in your dotfile. You can put your private stuff elsewhere (like Dropbox for instance) and load the file in your dotfile.

(slack-register-team
  :name "emacs-slack"
  :default t
  :client-id "my@email.address"
  :client-secret "mypassword"
  :token "token"
  :subscribed-channels '(general slackbot))

The following bindings are provided to mimic bindings in the official Slack client.

In insert state, one can also use @ and # directly without the leader key prefix.
