Emacs for You – A 72 line –/.emacs to quickly set up vanilla Emacs for editing

• use-package

  67 4,365 2.3 Emacs Lisp

  A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs

Here's what I have so far:

* I installed Emacs 26.3 using `sudo apt install emacs`

* I installed Melpa by following https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/README.md#usage

* I installed use-package using `M-x package-install use-package`

Now I'm trying to make sense of your instructions while reading https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package#readme. I don't see a bind-key, but I do see:

• doom-emacs

  271 13,953 9.9 Emacs Lisp

  Discontinued An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs]

  

I moved from vim to emacs using emacs doom. Which is a configuration of emacs that makes it feel a lot like vim. Its a good place for vimmers to start imo.

However, its a good idea to stop using emacs doom at some point and get your hands dirty with configuring emacs. This just makes the transition more gradual.

  A dark and sleek Emacs setup for general purpose editing and programming

• emacspy

  4 43 3.3 C

  Program Emacs in Python instead of ELisp (i.e. write dynamic modules for Emacs in Python)

Ahh, I finally get to flex. With our powers combined, me and a random unknown dev successfully set up a Python REPL that has access to emacs. I.e. you can program emacs via python:

Maybe this'll be the boost you lurkers need to get your butts into one of the coolest editors. "Not your dad's editor" -- new emacs slogan, probably. /s

• evil

  105 3,237 8.0 Emacs Lisp

  The extensible vi layer for Emacs.

  

Check out evil mode [0] which brings vim keybindings/modes into Emacs, so you will have easier time checking out emacs and making your own opinion. I still use both, vim for quick edits/on the systems where I don't have an emacs config.

I have not tried the multiple cursors package, but regarding the problem of manipulating several lines at once with instant preview, you could look at the visual-regexp package:
