The repeat has different granularity. I prefer Emacs's, but, matter of taste I guess.
"Super"-f/b are free on my keyboard, where "super" is the button with the Windows logo on it. I don't really miss the E/B functionality, though, and I used vim for about five years before I started using Emacs.
- dilap 16y agoAh, I was wondering how much vim experience you had. Quite a bit! Well, thanks for being an interesting data point. :) (BTW/FWIW, I'm on mac and keep the option key as command, so no extra key lying around for me to use as super.)
- silentbicycle 16y agoI know this is a late reply, but you're very right about C-x z and vi's . having different groupings. I'm so used to defining keyboard macros for any operation I want to repeat as a whole that it didn't even occur to me. I'm easily sucked into vi / emacs threads, and I've talked about this at length a few times. I have a bit over five year experience with each, at this point. I prefer vi's general keyboard interface design (edit vs insert mode, etc.), because it gets rid of most of the modal keys that Emacs uses, but strongly prefer Emacs's "continuous environment"/integration and general extensibility. On the balance, I prefer Emacs. (And while there are vi-emulation modes for Emacs, such as viper, few extensions provide vi-like keybindings for them.)
