I had a co-worker once that used Emacs and would always enable viper mode for me when I came to help him on his computer. Every time I used it, I always managed to break it or expose some way it didn't work! It left me with a bad impression, but I guess I could give it a try again.
- dupe123 15y agoI definetely recommend viper mode. You'll have to install vimpulse also to make it really functional, but once you do that you should feel right at home. Just remember that ctrl-z toggles/untoggles it! So if you ever get into a non viper mode state, control+z should bring you back. Personally I use it for all the modal editing goodness but I also rely on some emacs features as well such as ctrl-x ctrl-f for opening files, etc.
- doorhammer 15y agoThis is the route I went while using Clojure. I also ended up learning more and more about how to customize emacs with elisp. Vimpulse and viper got me close enough to vim where I could get things done, and learning more and more elisp, as I went along, allowed me to add or change anything that didn't feel right.
