Wouldn’t this be a distraction and an unnecessary cognitive load?
- nickpeterson 7y agoI think using emacs while being unaware of this is possible, but severely limits how comfortable you'll be actually using it. If you don't intend to heavily invest in learning emacs, one is probably much better off using something like VS Code or Sublime Text.
- emmanueloga_ 7y agoTeaching you how to get online help inside emacs is the equivalent of "teaching how to fish instead of giving you food"... The idea is that you will know how to find your way in emacs no matter which configuration is present on the system. Of course the book does also show how to do a lot of different navigational and editing things.
