### New Features
This is a list of latest features implemented in SpaceVim:
**Use toml as default configuration**
Here is an example for using toml as SpaceVim config:
```toml
# This is basic configuration example for SpaceVim.
# All SpaceVim options below [options] snippet.
[options]
# Set SpaceVim theme. By default colorscheme layer is not loaded.
# If you want to use more colorschemes, please load the colorscheme
# layer.
colorscheme = "gruvbox"
colorscheme_bg = "dark"
# Disable guicolors in basic mode, many terminal do not support 24bit
# true colors
enable_guicolors = false
# Disable statusline separator, if you want to use other value, please
# install nerd fonts
statusline_separator = "nil"
statusline_inactive_separator = "bar"
buffer_index_type = 4
windows_index_type = 3
enable_tabline_ft_icon = false
enable_statusline_mode = false
statusline_unicode_symbols = false
# Enable Vim compatible mode, avoid changing origin Vim key bindings
vimcompatible = true
# Enable autocomplete layer
[[layers]]
name = 'autocomplete'
auto-completion-return-key-behavior = "complete"
auto-completion-tab-key-behavior = "cycle"
[[layers]]
name = 'shell'
default_position = 'top'
default_height = 30
```
**Iedit mode**
SpaceVim uses a powerful iedit mode to quick edit multiple occurrences of a symbol or selection. Two new modes:`iedit-Normal`/`iedit-Insert`.
The default color for iedit is `red`/`green` which is based on the current colorscheme.
**Highlight cursor symbol**
SpaceVim supports highlighting of the current symbol on demand and adds
a transient state to easily navigate and rename this symbol.
[**Fly Grep in Vim**](https://spacevim.org/grep-on-the-fly-in-spacevim/)
With this feature, Vim will display the searching result as you type. Of course, it is running
asynchronously. Before using this feature, you need to install a searching tool. FlyGrep works
through search tools: `ag`, `rg`, `ack`, `pt` and `grep`, Choose one you like.
[**Mnemonic key bindings navigation**](https://spacevim.org/mnemonic-key-bindings-navigation/)
You don't need to remember any key bindings, as the mapping guide will show up after the SPC is pressed.
The mapping guide is also available for `g`, `z`, and `s`.
[**Help description for key bindings**](https://spacevim.org/help-description-for-key-bindings/)
Use SPC h d k to get the help description of a key binding, and `gd` to find definition of key bindings.
[**Asynchronous plugin manager**](https://spacevim.org/Asynchronous-plugin-manager/)
Create an UI for [dein.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim/) - the best asynchronous vim plugin manager
For more features, please read [SpaceVim's Blog](https://spacevim.org/blog/)
