  • crkbd

    Corne keyboard, a split keyboard with 3x6 column staggered keys and 3 thumb keys.

  • Some ergonomic keyboards use thumb clusters which vastly improves on the traditional modifier setup. Direct upgrade.

  • god-mode

    Minor mode for God-like command entering

  • God Mode is "a bit of vi" and doesn't cause any friction with Emacs defaults. By introducing one mode (in the vi sense of mode) it allows you to enter commands without modifiers.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • hydra

    make Emacs bindings that stick around (by abo-abo)

  • Hydra lets you define mini-modes with limited scope.

  • meow

    Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑 (by meow-edit)

  • Meow is modal editing similar to evil, but only for editing, so it doesn't introduce much friction with Emacs. Arguably, it improves on the vi editing paradigm.

  • evil

    The extensible vi layer for Emacs.

  • Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.

  • evil-collection

    A set of keybindings for evil-mode

  • Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.
