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

This has to be solved in a more general way (i.e. in all layers) as discussed in #2113

Agreed, but until then are we comfortable with newbies continuing to get snagged? This hit me last night and was incredibly frustrating. Until the solution is present, I think we should update the README to assist newcomers as stop gap. We can update the README when #2213 is resolved.
That's my 0.02, I almost dropped Spacemacs altogether over this, it was really frustrating.

The commits that are done now will be available in the 0.106 release (except if @syl20bnr want to hotfix them), what means your change will only be visible by people using the develop branch, and those ones know how to use layers 😃 There should be enough time before the 0.106 release to solve #2213. As you said it's problematic for the user, so I milestoned it so we don't forget to look at it :-) Keep this issue open… just in case.

Cool! That makes sense, thanks for giving me a better idea of how the
workflow for this project works! <3

Thank you! 👍 |
This clarifies how to add the
osxlayer to the.spacemacsfile. The existing instructions, despite my best efforts, didn't work, and this seemed confirmed by folks in the chat channel.
