Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;
https://karthinks.com/software/avy-can-do-anything/
https://github.com/jyp/boon
https://github.com/clemera/objed
https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/
https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys
https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode
Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

Evil keybinding for emacs from scratch
If it's the latter and you're looking for a way to set up vim/evil like keybindings yourself (separate links for each), Modalka, RYO-modal, and Meow (and probably a few dozen others 'cause emacs) allow you to do that.

Nested/conditional keybindings to navigate in text
You can write custom commands that wrap a little bit of logic around the standard movement commands. Or another option would be to look at ryo-modal or meow.

How to get doom emacs keybindings?
Along with General, you can take a look at some other packages for keybindings and modal editing. A good option is RollYourOwn Modal mode. In the documentation there, it also lists several other packages with pre-defined bindings. Xah-Fly-Keys is specifically designed for ergonomics and may be interesting to explore.

Why not use Evil in 2022?
Because you can roll your own modal mode. This particular approach will make the experience convenient in the way you actually prefer (Emacs' extensibility at its finest) and it'll allow you to slowly move towards the modal editing if it happens to be convenient for you.

"I'll just install EVIL"
Similar to Meow is ryo-modal. What I like about ryo-modal is that it is completely unopinionated and does nothing by default, and instead just provides the tools to make your own modal editing system.
-
Layer keys
I was thinking that combining this functionality with something like ryo-modal could make for a very satisfying and efficient modal keybind system. However, it doesn't seem like there's any ready made way to do this in Emacs.
- Think which-key update breaks ryo-modal

ryo-modal is a package for creating modal keymaps. I want to test it, but I need a little help.

The Year of Living evilly [impressions from 14 months with evil]
I've never used Kakoune, but can't you get similar functionality with zop-to-char and easy-kill.

It's just me or is really weird that Emacs doesn't have something like the whole-line-or-region package built in?
How does this package compare to leoliu/easy-kill which I now see u/purcell also contributed to?
