I love org mode and use it all the time, but I still occasionally blow up my file with inadvertent vim commands! Yes I know I am a weirdo for using eVil mode :)

The most common mistake I make is having caps lock on and hitting J a bunch which merges all the lines together.
- blackbear_ 5y agoYes, using evil mode in emacs puts you in the weird position of being scoffed at by both vim users and emacs users ;) > The most common mistake I make is having caps lock on and hitting J a bunch which merges all the lines together. Oh that happened to me as well one day, it was catastrophic! I did not realize I hit J on a folded header (which joined all lines in that section) before saving and quitting at the end of the day. I only realized the mess on the next day. I wrote a blog post [1] on how I solved it, if it sounds interesting.

- neutronicus 5y agoUgh I make that mistake with code constantly I fly into a panic because "U" doesn't do anything and Spacemacs binds "K" to some sort of manual lookup Deeply stressful experience
- gnubison 5y agoWhat is K supposed to do other than a manual lookup? That’s what it does in vim and neovim.
- mkesper 5y agoI found <https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs> doom-emacs to be very pleasant to use. Loading times are so much better than spacemacs. And using an external binary for updating etc. really helps.
