link-hint.el VS meow

This issue seems to be related: https://github.com/noctuid/link-hint.el/issues/38

If you like link hinting in vimium and tridactyl, you might also be interested in my package link-hint.

If you keep these open, you may try https://github.com/noctuid/link-hint.el. It works with the treemacs windows.

If you want it for all sorts of links found in Emacs buffers try the link-hint package.

I recently went back to default completions for a few weeks (augmented by the link-hint package), but now switched back to using embark-collect-completions. It can be used in several different ways and I'm currently using it very much in the manner of default completions: the completions are not shown by default (but unlike default completion, once they are shown they update automatically).

In general and in non-standard buffers - Open urls, buttons, and other links with link-hint - Select correct word with flyspell-correct and frog-menu

If you don't want to have to move your cursor over to the link, i recommend link-hint https://github.com/noctuid/link-hint.el

Using meow:https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others.

The muscle memory transfers well.

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...

Also see Meow[1], [2], which adopts some ideas from god-mode.

You have to go further for ideal IMO.

Evil and evil-collection integrates pretty well, but Meow integrates perfectly and uses the action visible first approach.

I think I'd rather hope for meow over Evil. It's close to Evil but embraces more of emacs' default bindings for calling commands.

Modal editing with seamless emacs integration avoiding the need for evil-collection type packages.

Repeat action (evil handles this very nicely). see: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/discussions/414

There's also Meow[1], which I currently use. You have to configure it first to suit your keyboard layout, but there are pre-built configs [2]

I was thinking about this a little more and Meow has something known as keypad mode that basically lets you call key combinations then return to Normal mode. It behaves a lot like god-mode. I just tested it out and if you install Meow you can call keypad-mode from insert and then automatically return to insert mode.
