Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?

1. emacs-which-key

   1 39 1,729 8.2 Emacs Lisp

   Discontinued Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup

   Make sure you have which-key installed and turned on. When using a keybinding that has a prefix (like C-x or C-c), it displays all the keybindings that start with that prefix.

2. AppSignal

   AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

   

3. swiper

   2 38 2,429 4.9 Emacs Lisp

   Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man! (by abo-abo)

   

   Next you "only" have to remember (elisp) function names. "Completion UIs" like ivy/counsel, icomplete, helm or vertico/consult, give you a nice auto completion list on M-x (choose the one of them, you like the most). Some of those Completion UIs will display existing keybindings and a short documentation for commands, near the auto complete candidates. So you will start to remember more keybindings without "learning sessions", just because invoking functions via keybindings is much faster (more convenient).

4. helm

   3 50 3,471 8.8 Emacs Lisp

   Emacs incremental completion and selection narrowing framework (by emacs-helm)

6. helpful

   5 34 1,303 4.6 Emacs Lisp

   A better Emacs *help* buffer

   

   Once you got the hang of keybindings, which-key is a helpful extension (aka package) to Emacs. At this stage, there are other helpful packages and keybindings.
