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

  • Really glad to see more people switching to meow[0]. It felt extremely right after using and being frustrated by both standard emacs and evil. I wrote an article about why i really like it here:

    Tldr: simplicity, extensibility, kakoune grammar, less modifier usage, great multiedit system that obsoletes macros in daily usage

    (Disclaimer, i work on meow)

    If you already know Vim keybindings, it is very easy to get into Emacs with evil-mode.[1]

    Besides that, Emacs by default comes with a menu system that helps you discover keybindings, too. And there is also cua-mode which I haven’t tried.[2]
