modus-themes VS hydra

I recall a video by Prot where he addressed this very thing in his modis vivendi & modis operendi themes, specifically where he toggles between the two. See https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/blob/main/modus-themes.el, specifically function "modus-themes-after-load-theme-hook". Function "make-obsolete-variable" is used there to undefine all the attributes defined in the theme. HTH

Did You tried Modus themes by Prot?

The Modus Operandi theme doesn't appear to use much green in org mode and is highly configurable. Depending on what version of emacs you're on, it may already be included in emacs, or you can get it here: https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes

One thing made by Prot that has made a big difference to me is his high-contrast light theme Modus Operandi, which has made working on Emacs outside in bright sunlight a cinch. It's comprehensive in terms of the modes it supports, and he chose colours based on WCAG AAA standards. Highly recommended.

Here's a link to where you can see screenshots of his themes:

The code is stored at https://github.com/protesilaos/modus-themes for example:

You can also use Hydra for Emacs.[1] Once I discovered how to configure Hydra, I made it a habit to make one for every new major mode I need to use.

Have you considered a hydra?

An Emacs specific example: I'm working on a few go projects at the moment and go requires recompilation after changes. Step one was finding auto-recompilers for my projects (I'm using both air and reflex in various projects). Step two was realizing that I spent a lot of time switching to the buffer where the output is printed, so I wrote a little hydra menu to make that easier. Then I found myself having to restart those processes each time I restarted Emacs, so I went digging and found detached to manage the processes. Then I got tired of having to hunt for where the detached output was displayed in my frame so dug into sidebars to manage the windows more effectively.

I think the goal of the hydra package is to provide such functionality.

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

The C-c prefix is designed for you, the user, to use for your nefarious deeds. Some things that may help with both binding and knowing what key does what would be a menu such as hydras or transient menus (which apparently are part of Emacs now so that's new).

For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

Hydra lets you define mini-modes with limited scope.

general.el also works well with hydra.el. Here's my hydra for window operations - it activates when I press ,w:
