dotfiles VS VSpaceCode

Prot's window config - A lot of custom functions to help tailor the window management experience to his liking.

im trying to adopt this script (https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/dotfiles/-/blob/master/bspwm/bin/bspwm_resize) into my own bspwm/sxhkd config, without luck

A helpful thing to do is to check out people’s literate Emacs configurations. I would humbly offer mine as a fairly well-commented example. I don’t have a massive amount of custom Emacs Lisp, nowhere close to someone like Prot, but I think I do a fairly decent job of telling why I do things.

Try VSpaceCode.

I use the extension package called VSpaceCode keeps my hand on the keyboard 90% of the time.

I can highly recommend VSpaceCode: https://vspacecode.github.io/

What has helped me with the consolidation is the ubiquity of my preferred key bindings. I use vim keys with spacemacs like bindings.

On emacs, doom-emacs[1] gives me the bindings. On VSCode, VSpaceCode[2], on Jetbrains Rider, Intellimacs[3]. While there are minor differences between the implementations, I have very limited friction when switching between IDEs.

I have paid for the Jetbrains ultimate subscription as I also use DataGrip. I think I’ll be satisfied with the current version of their IDEs for the next 2 years even if I decide to cancel the sub.

For setting up VSCode as a modal editor with mnemonic keys use https://vspacecode.github.io/. It wont be as good as doom/spacemacs but its for sure better than VSCode vanilla

Productivity is purely subjective and the most minimal and customizable solution is not always the answer. My personal solution is doom emacs for productivity with org mode, text authoring with latex / pandoc and random text editing and VSCode with VSpaceCode for coding.

Then Spacemacs is probably the most nicely configured editor in existence. It improves over Vim by making the SPC the central leader key, and adding highly intuitive mnemonic keybindings. Really, check out Spacemacs for 5 minutes, and I guess you will understand the beautiful concept and using it you will have the power of Emacs and Vim combined (and improved on) in one. You should not just take my words without checking them, but I can tell you that I have checked out the various 'Spacemacs imitations', spacevim, vspacecode, atom with which-key, but they all pale by comparison to Spacemacs (Doom emacs is a good competitor but personally I prefer Spacemacs and definitely I would recommend it over Doom for beginners).
