I've recently blown away my several years old custom Emacs config and started over with vanilla Doom Emacs (it's supposedly a faster version of Spacemacs, but I don't really know, I just took a stab and grabbed one of them). I spent a weekend doing some VIM tutorials and writing down common key strokes of things I do all the time, and then on a Monday, it was all VIM navigation. A lot of your regular Emacs meta-stuff will still work, and for that, you can slowly start replacing with the spacebar-b key stroke for your buffer management, spacebar-p for projectile, etc.... Here's a couple of the videos I watched: 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_iBj91eeI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_iBj91eeI 2) I've only watched a couple of these for the topics I'm interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCMh7srOqvw&list=PLhXZp00uXBk4np17N39WvB80zgxlZfVwj https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCMh7srOqvw&list=PLhXZp00uXB... 3) for common VIM, I went with this: https://thoughtbot.com/upcase/onramp-to-vim https://thoughtbot.com/upcase/onramp-to-vim 4) Recently, I found this guys short six-part series that gets you navigating around VIM fast, but he's an acquired taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3o4l4GVLW0&list=PLm323Lc7iSW_wuxqmKx_xxNtJC_hJbQ7R https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3o4l4GVLW0&list=PLm323Lc7iS... There's still some things I like better about Emacs navigation and there's a lot I like about VIM navigation. I prefer Emacs crtl-a and ctrl-e for navigating to front and end of the line (instead of $ and ^, which is an awkward shift+number key on my keyboard). However, in Doom Emacs (likely Spacemacs too since I believe they both support Evil-mod) if you're in Insert Mode, most of your old Emacs navigation will still work, so this makes it a decent crutch for transitioning.
