Where to add evil-ex-define-cmd ?

[sebastorama]

Hi, I'm trying to overwrite a couple of ex commands:

(evil-ex-define-cmd "vs" 'split-window-right-and-focus)
(evil-ex-define-cmd "sp" 'split-window-below-and-focus)
(evil-ex-define-cmd "term" 'vterm)
(evil-ex-define-cmd "tabn" 'tab-new)
(evil-ex-define-cmd "tabc" 'tab-close)
(evil-ex-define-cmd "tabm" 'tab-move-to)

It has no effect if I put these on dotspacemacs/user-config. However, if I eval this section after spacemacs has started, it works as intended. Am I doing anything wrong?

Hey there, you can try wrapping those forms in a `with-eval-after-load' macro as a quick fix.

(with-eval-after-load "evil"
