Modal editing is what made me go back to vim after 2 months of wanting to like emacs. Even with EVIL mode it didn't feel just as smooth.
Are there other ways to get modal editing in emacs?
- lvncelot 5y agoNone that I'm aware of, especially for vim-users, I'm also using EVIL mode.
- jb1991 5y agoAs I mentioned in another comment, "god mode" is an emacs package that provides more native-emacs modal editing features.
- bradrn 5y ago> Even with EVIL mode it didn't feel just as smooth. I’m surprised to hear this. I’d personally assess Evil highly — in some areas, it’s even better than Vim. What problem(s) did you have with it?
- polaris64 5y agoIf you haven't done so already I'd also recommend looking at evil-collection (https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection). This enables Evil keybindings throughout Emacs which can certainly help.
- jb1991 5y agoCheckout God Mode, which is inspired by Vim but is designed with emacs bindings in mind, not vim bindings. I used it for years (before moving to VS Code).
