The extensible vi layer for Emacs

• god-mode

  32 818 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Minor mode for God-like command entering

  

I used to use emacs-evil but found myself having to remember both vim and emacs keybindings. That may be my own fault since I probably wasn't using ALL the settings / extra packages that make vim keybindings work everywhere.

I've since switched to god-mode [0], which just turns emacs keybindings into modal ones. I find it works quite well. I think emacs keybindings are easier to remember but harder to use. Turning them modal solved that for me. (For example, Ctrl + F for forward, Ctrl + B for backward is easy to remember, but hjkl is right by your fingertips).

Side-note, it looks like god-mode was archived and then made part of the emacs orphanage. I started using it years after it was archived before it was part of the emacs orphanage. Noticed no issues, since again all it does is just make emacs keybindings modal.

• meow

  77 1,046 7.3 Emacs Lisp

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

  

There's also meow-mode[1], which isn't a vim emulator as such, but it is a different modal editing layer for Emacs which is a lot faster and has a lot of neat ideas. It doesn't interfere w/the stock keybinds at all though, which is much nicer imo (I use a 'hybrid' editing style generally)

  36 595 2.1 Fennel

  Neovim configuration and plugins in Fennel (Lisp compiled to Lua)

Just use vim. Yes, emacs has a lisp engine, but so does nvim[1]. Really, though, using vim properly means that it doesn't need to swallow the kitchen sink[2]. Just use vim.

  A Vim-like configuration for Helix

There is this configuration: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim

This switches most keybinds to be vi-like.

• boon

  17 321 6.6 Emacs Lisp

  Ergonomic Command Mode for Emacs

There's also Boon which I like quite a lot but I opted against using mostly because of all the places I would need to type where I wouldn't have access to Boon unless I ported it (a plan I assure you but one lumped behind 1,000 other projects TODO).
