evil VS VSpaceCode

evil mode

Since we already have vyper-mode, why not add Evil to the stack?

2 stripe blue belt here! I used to use Vim for everything other than Java development and have now adopted Emacs in the same way. I am using it for Clojure and Common Lisp development along with org mode, irc, rss, git and file management

I started with Evil mode and then moved to Xah fly keys before sticking to the emacs bindings. Having the caps lock key bound to CTRL helped me a lot. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference for Emacs but using the DVORAK layout has helped my fingers

There are other bindings you can try like Meow or God mode but I don't know what the adoption rate is like for them. Emacs gives you the flexibility to set it up as you please. As others have mentioned, there may be other keyboard options that might be more helpful as well

If you already know Vim, you should probably not use Emacs without Evil:

It gives you comprehensive Vim bindings so what you need to learn to be comfortable in Emacs is very little. As a bonus, it also keeps your RSI risk unchanged.

Emacs is a text ecosystem. And it's trivial to add these shortcuts. Evil[0] basically rewires everything to be Vim.

I would *highly* recommend using vim keybindings if you're just getting into it (Doom or just evil). I switched from vim to emacs and tried to rough it with the default keybindings thinking that otherwise I wasn't /really/ using emacs, but I was wrong! I've been using org-mode/emacs for ~2 years now and I've slowly been migrating everything into it as I find useful tools/modes/etc (and now thanks to u/ilemming I have ~12 more to experiment with 😂)

Despite using Emacs as my main editor, I was extremely familiar with Vim since I also used it frequently, and was able to use it quite well, especially because I also used [evil](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil) in Emacs since Emacs's native keybindings are uncomfortable to use. I never used Vim as my primary editor though because it was cumbersome to configure. As many people say, Vimscript just feels wrong, so I gave up on trying to customize Vim.

uhm... this maybe? https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

doom is a set of configuration files (to put it lightly 😅) for emacs, a text editor with really really powerful configuration abilities -- your "config files" are actually code in a full-fledged programming language, so people have done things like built package managers in it, or written full emulators for other text editors

Does it look like this? https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil/issues/1778

Try VSpaceCode.

I use the extension package called VSpaceCode keeps my hand on the keyboard 90% of the time.

I can highly recommend VSpaceCode: https://vspacecode.github.io/

What has helped me with the consolidation is the ubiquity of my preferred key bindings. I use vim keys with spacemacs like bindings.

On emacs, doom-emacs[1] gives me the bindings. On VSCode, VSpaceCode[2], on Jetbrains Rider, Intellimacs[3]. While there are minor differences between the implementations, I have very limited friction when switching between IDEs.

I have paid for the Jetbrains ultimate subscription as I also use DataGrip. I think I’ll be satisfied with the current version of their IDEs for the next 2 years even if I decide to cancel the sub.

For setting up VSCode as a modal editor with mnemonic keys use https://vspacecode.github.io/. It wont be as good as doom/spacemacs but its for sure better than VSCode vanilla

Productivity is purely subjective and the most minimal and customizable solution is not always the answer. My personal solution is doom emacs for productivity with org mode, text authoring with latex / pandoc and random text editing and VSCode with VSpaceCode for coding.

try VSpaceCode

Then Spacemacs is probably the most nicely configured editor in existence. It improves over Vim by making the SPC the central leader key, and adding highly intuitive mnemonic keybindings. Really, check out Spacemacs for 5 minutes, and I guess you will understand the beautiful concept and using it you will have the power of Emacs and Vim combined (and improved on) in one. You should not just take my words without checking them, but I can tell you that I have checked out the various 'Spacemacs imitations', spacevim, vspacecode, atom with which-key, but they all pale by comparison to Spacemacs (Doom emacs is a good competitor but personally I prefer Spacemacs and definitely I would recommend it over Doom for beginners).
