This layer adds on the fly syntax checking to all supported language layers.
- Support for automatic syntax checking with Flycheck for various language layers
- Tooltip syntax errors with
popwin
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add syntax-checking to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
As this is a support layer you will also have to install at least one supported language layer for it to have any effect.
By default tooltips are enabled and used whenever it is possible.
You can disable them by setting the variable syntax-checking-enable-tooltips
to nil:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((syntax-checking :variables syntax-checking-enable-tooltips nil)))By default, syntax-checking is enabled in all available major modes (except for
emacs-lisp-mode) and may be toggled off with SPC t s. You can default this to off
by setting the variable syntax-checking-enable-by-default to nil:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((syntax-checking :variables syntax-checking-enable-by-default nil)))If you want more fine-grained control, you can configure the variable
flycheck-global-modes instead. Note that this variable should be manipulated
in dotspacemacs/user-config.
If the original flycheck fringe bitmaps are more to your liking, you can set the
variable syntax-checking-use-original-bitmaps to t:
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((syntax-checking :variables syntax-checking-use-original-bitmaps t)))| Key binding | Description |

SPC e l | display a list of all the errors |
SPC e L | display a list of all the errors and focus the errors buffer |
SPC e s | set flycheck checker |
