rg.el VS evil

Sometimes I don't know exactly how to configure a package or which options I should be using. Instead of searching the web for the examples last year I came up with an idea: I started collecting interesting/useful dotfiles~/~dotemacs collections in a single place. You can find the repository at github.com/dorneanu/dotemacs. So what I usually do is to search inside the folder where I've cloned all repositories for specific keywords. For this purpose I use rg.el and some custom function:

I am a newbie to emacs and just last week i installed and learning about emacs. I wanted to search for text across multiple files and exclude certain file types. I have been trying to use https://github.com/dajva/rg.el

rg.el or deadgrep: Emacs interfaces to ripgrep, a grep-like tool that is very fast. This lets us search across a large number of files for a pattern of text. The disadvantage of searching for text is that if you are looking for the method called foo and there are hundreds of them that exist, it can be hard to know which one you really want. On the other hand, at the scale and complexity that you are talking about, I can imagine that more IDE-like tools just start failing.

In this post we see how to rename interactively a function that appears in several files using rg.el and wgrep!

rg.el is an Emacs UI for the cli ripgrep.

Oh that's a good point about quickfix. I do end up going back to vim for that sort of thing too I guess. In emacs I did setup https://github.com/dajva/rg.el which gives you https://rgel.readthedocs.io/en/2.1.0/usage.html#results-buffer to look through results but I've never tried to do something like cnext/cfdo/colder/cnewer in emacs.

I use a different ripgrep integration, rg. It has a menu using transient, just like magit (set it up with (rg-enable-menu)). It makes rerunning the searches with different parameters easy.

You can use the rg.el and change the executable to use the ripgrep-all. For example:

Another option is https://github.com/dajva/rg.el

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
