spacemacs

• Correctly handle evil function properties in evil-escape. Fixes a bug where f motion could act like a t motion.

• Fix evil-escape regression with iedit state and iedit-insert state where f was no op.

• fd now works properly to escape from iedit state
• hjkl in lisp state now behaves like in normal state. See documentation for more info on the key bindings.
