dot-emacs VS evil

For example, I don't know what "vertico, consult, embark, marginalia, and orderless" is exactly, they're not part of my setup and I guess I don't want them to interfere with it.

You can find further optimizations on https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org when searching for "mode-line".

You're looking for org-expiry and its (org-expiry-insinuate) as you can see in my config: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

You don't have to repeat yourself; it is more about how you write. Literate programming lets you mix different languages as well as text and the code. Check for example Karl Voits. The only remark I can make is that some defvars don't need the comments, since they are written as self-documenting code. For example, 'large-file-warning-threshold' certainly does not need a comment which basically repeats what the name says, but that is not so unusual to see even amongst programmers sometimes.

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

The same configuration using Emacs 27.1 also does not have this weird behavior.

Maybe somebody has an idea what I might change in my large setup in order to get rid of this issue ...

For linking to contacts, I started to use a custom link contact: which I don't use any more since I've found org-super-links which enables me to link to any heading quite fine including contacts.

My personal notes on any task or project are way more verbose than the information curated in shared business environments. I therefore invest work and keep a local Orgdown structure and sync a subset of information manually. I define custom links to Jira, emails, and all other external sources to keep links from my Orgdown files to everything else. This way, my only truth is within my personal knowledge management which simplifies search.

My personal approach is a static list of Orgdown files within a single directory (with very few exceptions) and a manually curated list of agenda files.

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
