org-cycle problem in evil normal state

[dingmingxin]

Here are the layers that I loaded.

dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
     better-defaults
     emacs-lisp
     git
     markdown
     org
  )

When I start emacs in OSX Terminal.app , opening a org file. Hitting TAB key in the keyboard did not trigger function:

org-cycle

By describe-function org-cycle, I got:

It is bound to <mouse-1>, <normal-state> <tab>, <tab> .....

I have nothing special settings in my Terminal.app. And Tab behavior is normal in "Gnu Emacs for OSX"(GUI mode).

spacemacs version: 0.104.6
emacs version: 25.1
osx: 10.11.1

How can I solve this problem .Can anyone help me out ? Much appreciations.

It's probably another variant of #3472. The <tab> keycode is only understood by the GUI version of emacs, and the TAB keycode is understood by both Terminal and GUI versions of emacs. There is two of them because, for historic reasons, TAB and C-i are the same keycode. So to have the possibility to differentiate Tab from C-i in GUI, the <tab> keycode is used.

• <tab> = Tab (GUI only)
• TAB = C-i = C-i = Tab (Terminal, or GUI if <tab> is not set)

There are people wanting to use TAB everywhere, like you, to have the same behaviour in Terminal and in GUI. There are others people, like in the linked issue, that want to use <tab> everywhere to have the possibility to differentiate Tab key from C-i in GUI, but breaking terminals.

@justbur found a clean way to satisfy everybody and this will probably be soon in develop (and later in master). This is truly awesome, because it will even work on demonized emacs :-)

Thanks for replying in time.
But in which way can I personally configure emacs, making TAB act as org-cycle in org mode ?
I have tried this in ~/.spacemacs.d/init.el

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
  "Configuration function for user code.
  This function is called at the very end of Spacemacs initialization after
  layers configuration. You are free to put any user code."
  (define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "TAB") 'org-cycle)
  )

But it did not work as I expected.

This is a temporary regression in develop, we will fix it soon, sorry for this.

[justbur]

@dingmingxin like this in user-config

(evil-define-key 'normal evil-jumper-mode-map (kbd "TAB") nil)

[dingmingxin]

@syl20bnr Thanks for your awesome work.
@justbur Just tested:

  (evil-define-key 'normal evil-jumper-mode-map (kbd "TAB") nil)

This works for me . Thank you very much.

Just want to mention that this is still broken for me in mainline.

@justbur is there a way to do it so that that only takes effect for org mode? Something like (evil-define-key-mode 'org-mode ... et
