## Introduction

SpaceVim is a community-driven vim distribution that seeks to provide layer feature.
Layers help collect related packages together to provide features.
This approach helps keep configuration organized and reduces overhead for the user by
keeping them from having to think about what packages to install.

### Enable layers

here is an example for loadding `shell` layer with some specified options:

```vim
call SpaceVim#layers#load('shell',
        \ {
        \ 'default_position' : 'top',
        \ 'default_height' : 30,
        \ }
        \ )
```

### Disable layers

Some layers are enabled by defalut, here is an example for disable `shell` layer:

```vim
call SpaceVim#layers#disable('shell')
```
