I’ve used Emacs nearly every day since 1980/teco. I’m now on 28.1. What are the best things I’m missing?

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

  • key-chord

    Map pairs of simultaneously pressed keys to commands

  • Using emacs since about 1995. I use many suggestions found on this thread. One less well known one I like a lot is key chord mode. https://github.com/emacsorphanage/key-chord. I use it primarily for window navigation/management but may try it for other things. Also ace-jump is very handy. And smudge if you listen to Spotify.

  • elfeed

    An Emacs web feeds client

  • I can't believe no-one has mentioned elfeed + elfeed-dashboard makes an awesome RSS reader. I used it to find this post through the reddit RSS post. But I can scan all the RSS things and read through them far more rapidly than visiting each idiosyncratic web page.

  • 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.

  • elfeed-dashboard

    A frontend for elfeed
