I love Emacs, but I don’t use it anymore because of the key bindings. I like them, but my pinky started aching when using Emacs for long periods of time. Reconfiguring all of them, including the ones from the modes that I use, doesn’t feel like it would produce good results in the end.
Since ditching Emacs, I’ve been using Atom, VSCode and Micro, but Emacs is superior IMHO. But multicursor support is really cool in these new editors! I’m using it all the time :)
- fovc 8y agoThere's an emacs package for that [multiple cursors] :) https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el
- dmortin 8y agoThere is a simple solution for the keybindings: sticky keys. WIth sticky keys you can press the keys one after the other, so you don't have to hit certain keys with your pinky, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys I use it for many years with Emacs and I have no pain in my hands.
