What's a good way to learn the available keybindings?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • emacs-which-key

    Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup

  • which-key is a nice way to stumble upon some new key bindings and is especially useful when similar things share the same leading sequence of keys (and it's been a while since I used doom but that should be the case for it)

  • hydra

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

  • Learning to make hydras. Now when I encounter an interesting mode, I don't memorize the keybindings - I just create my own hydra for it.

  • 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.

  • anki

    Anki's shared backend and web components, and the Qt frontend

  • For learning: I put the ones I can't "just" remember into Anki, a FOSS flashcard system based on spaced repetition (for example, the front of a card would be "emacs org: how do you toggle a checkbox?", and the back would be "C-c C-x C-b"). I use anki-editor-mode to make this faster. Then I do an Anki review every day.

  • anki-editor

    Emacs minor mode for making Anki cards with Org

  • For learning: I put the ones I can't "just" remember into Anki, a FOSS flashcard system based on spaced repetition (for example, the front of a card would be "emacs org: how do you toggle a checkbox?", and the back would be "C-c C-x C-b").
