god-mode VS key-chord

Another option to trigger functions are vim-inspired leader key sequences such as god mode [1] and the evil leader implementations in spacemacs and doomemacs, for example [2].

That readme lost me at the third exclamation mark, although I'm amused that it mentioned god-mode ... https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode/

Reminds me of god-mode: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode. Although I use Evil, it still comes in handy on occasion when I need to type something without an Evil keybind. Alas, it’s been abandoned, though it still seems to work for me on the rare occasions I need it.

It seems strange to me to compare Evil, a modal editor, with the use of modifier keys. Maybe that is because I'm a big fan of god-mode though. For god-mode I do use a slightly modified mod-alist, which might be useful.

There's active development of god-mode still though[0].

Mentioned elsewhere here, I've found meow[1] to be really interesting/good. And it leverages some of what makes god-mode nice (from their list of key features: "Minimizes modifier usage (e.g. `SPC x f` for `C-x C-f`) inspired by god-mode")

God mode could be something you might like.

Have you seen god-mode isn't that relatively same just automated?

Alternatively, you could try a hydra. I also bound god-mode-all to a key-chord, which makes it easier to go between god-mode and insert mode, but wouldn't make it automatic.

I would I also encourage anyone who does not want to use modal editing to look into repeat-mode, hydras, and key-chord.

Key chords are another great way of bonding commonly used commands

To implement, you can use the key-chord package.

Using key chords (untested though)

However, the key-chord package comes sort of close. It lets you bind a command to 2 keys that you press at the same time.

Using emacs since about 1995. I use many suggestions found on this thread. One less well known one I like a lot is key chord mode. https://github.com/emacsorphanage/key-chord. I use it primarily for window navigation/management but may try it for other things. Also ace-jump is very handy. And smudge if you listen to Spotify.

I think this might be able to emulate the results purely from Emacs, although that comes at the downside of needing to define a H- chord for every binding you want. That library also wouldn't support something like "C-M-H-S-a" at the moment.

Not directly what you asked but one thing i use a lot is the keychord : press two keys simultaneously like as, sd, df, etc.
