Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;

https://github.com/clemera/objed
https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el

https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys
https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode
Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

How do the neovim plugins for OrgMode and Magit compare with the real thing?
If emacs had a layer for kakoune as comprehensive as evil, I think it would be a no-brainer, but such as it is, kakoune.el is the closest we have which isn't quite was I was hoping for.
-
Best emulator for Kakoune editing?
Problem is, unlike the evil package linked above, which was last updated 6 days ago, the only package I've found for Kakoune is this one, which was last updated like a year ago.

First thing you configured when started using Emacs
I set up https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el and made some aesthetic changes, i think that EXWM came soon thereafter

Helix - A kakoune/neovim inspired text editor written in Rust
Out of curiosity, what is it that makes you want to change from Kakoune? Perhaps something like terminal emacs with kakoune.el could be of interest to you.
-
Any ideas that would help in incremental reading?
I don't fully understand what you want - but about creating cards while you read https://kakoune.org could be interesting (there's a simple elisp clone: https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el). That way you can move along words while reading and if you want to turn a phrase into a card you can simply hold shift to continue marking the desired words and then yank them to somewhere.
- Just a random question . Is there any emacs distribution like kakoune ?

Is it possible to make god-mode turn off automatically after a command?
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.
-
Non-evil users: what modifiers do you use on emacs?
I would I also encourage anyone who does not want to use modal editing to look into repeat-mode, hydras, and key-chord.
-
Modal emacs?
Key chords are another great way of bonding commonly used commands
-
Emacs setup for people who suffer from RSI
To implement, you can use the key-chord package.

Can I use a non-modifier key as a modifier key in Emacs?
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.

I’ve used Emacs nearly every day since 1980/teco. I’m now on 28.1. What are the best things I’m missing?
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.

What do you use for very fast keybindings?
You might be interested in https://github.com/emacsorphanage/key-chord
-
Keybinding using Hyper Key
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.

Can you advice prefix key
Not directly what you asked but one thing i use a lot is the keychord : press two keys simultaneously like as, sd, df, etc.
What are some alternatives?
meow - Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑
hydra - make Emacs bindings that stick around
xi-editor - A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.
general.el - More convenient key definitions in emacs
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
