    I think which-key already solves exactly that: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

    As for the "complicated keybindings general" -- I assume because remembering things like C-x C-s is hard because of the shifted keystrokes? I get that, and there is in fact a solution for less used keybindings which I love, called 'which-key' https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key
  • Should I start with vanilla Emacs?

    I would recommend installing the which-key package, which is a fantastic discoverability aid. If you ever want an example config to get some inspiration, I have one here: Emacs Bedrock

    Make sure you have which-key installed and turned on. When using a keybinding that has a prefix (like C-x or C-c), it displays all the keybindings that start with that prefix.

    there are some packages to help with the keybings, which-key shows a list of keybind and its command and (guru-mode)[https://github.com/bbatsov/guru-mode] enforces to use the "best" keybind, for exemple, it forces you to use C-n to move the cursor, blocking you to use the down key, and if you press the down key, it show a text in minibuffer to the best keybind.

    Thanks for confirming, I think it's an issue in which-key itself: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key/pull/166

    > even though I'm a terminal user ... I really like the discoverability of GUIs, and that's where a good GUI is unbeatable by CLI.

    CLI has poor discoverability? Sure; but even on the terminal, discoverability can still be good:

    A couple of nice examples of discoverability in keyboard-focused programs:

    - emacs' which-key[0]; there's a vim port[1] too. This shows you (some) of the available keybindings for the next input, and a short label. So you don't have to remember what `SPC h p ...` or all the options under `SPC f...`.. but it still helps to recall that `SPC h` is for 'help' related commands, `SPC f` for file related commands.

    - emacs' magit[2][3]. Magit is so good at discoverability, that I'd rate it as the best tool for using git with. I've learned more about git from using it.

    Am I right in thinking this is quite similar to which-key?

  • Elfeed-protocol - two way sync?
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 24 Jul 2022
    Any one have a setup with [Elfeed-protocol](https://github.com/fasheng/elfeed-protocol) that can tell me if it is possible to do two way sync of feeds? I have managed to get a setup up working with synchronization between elfeed and miniflux with the fever API. As it works now, I can read the feeds I add in miniflux in emacs with elfeed, and the read state and everything is correctly synced. However the feeds I set up in emacs aren't synced to miniflux, and I don't know if it is supposed to be like this or if there is something wrong with my setup.

    I used Feedly for a good while, but switched to newsblur, mostly b/c I wanted to experiment with my own feed ordering methods. Both are good; feedly seems to be aimed at journalists trying to keep up with the state of the discourse, whereas newsblur seems to be aiming at folks who want to opt out of facebook/twitter as a medium of article exchange.
