Table of ContentsClose
1. Description
This layer adds support for the Emacs Application Framework (EAF).
1.1. Features:
- Browse using a full-fledged browser within Emacs
- PDF viewer (with continuous scroll)
- Video player

2. Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add eaf to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.
Then after (re-)loading the dotfile, run M-x eaf-install to automatically
install required dependencies, and to select the eaf applications you would like
to get installed. The script let's you select from the following list
of applications:
- eaf-jupyter
- eaf-browser
- eaf-airshare
- eaf-file-browser
- eaf-file-manager
- eaf-file-sender
- eaf-music-player
- eaf-system-monitor

3. Usage
3.1. Configuring applications
By default, all applications that were selected to be installed when running
eaf-install command are loaded. By default all installed applications get
loaded when eaf gets loaded. If you prefer to load some of the applications by
default then adjust the variable eaf-apps.
3.2. Configuring key bindings
Configuration of EAF key bindings works in a different way than normally in Spacemacs.
Also EAF, and additionally this layer, implement some tricks that are required to make leader keys in EAF buffers behave as expected in Spacemacs. Therefore it is recommended to keep these default (major-mode-)leader keybindings.
For information about configuration of other key bindings for EAF, see here.
If you do want to modify the leader keys, then information about the tricks implemented in this layer can be found here and here.
4. Key bindings
Except for the few Spacemacs specific modifications listed below, all EAF keybindings are documented here.
Eaf provides some key bindings only conditionally, so if some key binding does not work, then be sure that the relevant eaf application has been correctly installed.
Use SPC t k m to show the EAF key bindings persistently in which-key, or use
SPC h d K to show the `eaf-mode-map` in a separate buffer.
