Started to use org-mode recently after seeing its features. Do you have guides you'd recommend for someone learning emacs and org-mode?

- Jtsummers 10y agoThe built-in emacs tutorial is good, as I recall, but I went through it 15 years or so ago. For org-mode, the documentation on their site is good, but I also found myself referencing this [0] site a lot. The author happened to do a lot of things in ways I liked, or near enough that I could borrow their config and tune it to my own preferences. Borrowed piecemeal, not wholesale. I recommend starting with stock org-mode and emacs and only adding pieces as you understand them. Otherwise you end up with a non-stock configuration and other people may not be able to help you out as readily because you can't identify whether erroneous behavior is emacs or your specific configuration.

- zeveb 10y agoIt's not really a guide, but I strongly recommend newcomers take a look at emacs prelude (https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude), which is a really good starter kit. I recommend turning guru-mode off (AFAICT its only use is to holler at you to use C-n instead of down-arrow), and turning helm on everywhere. I know a lot of folks really like spacemacs — I'm not a fan of the vi keybindings, or of its version of emacs-style keybindings, but regardless it's a really well-made emacs starter kit.
