I've tried in past but always found the vim modes to be a bit lacking. My last attempt was probably 6 or 7 years ago though so maybe worth another shot!

- comfypotato 4y agoEvil mode is the modern standard I believe. Not a user myself, but I hear good things.
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoI ported my vim configuration to Evil Mode seven years ago and haven’t looked back. Evil Mode is the best done vi emulation layer I’ve seen and I think it even improves on vim in at least one area (the behavior of `I` in visual line mode).
- _huayra_ 4y agoThere is a very opinionated and batteries-included "Vim-y" Emacs called Doom [0]. A decent way to approach this if you don't want to start writing elisp outta the gate to have fancy editor features is to learn enough of the Doom config to tweak it to your liking, then add some elisp customization in as needed. I personally use this approach, usually cribbing config and elisp tweaks from the top contributors' configs. The Evil layer that Doom and most everyone seems to use for Vim modes works really well, and has a lot of ways to tweak things (e.g. changing `j` to `gj` for going through line breaks in normal mode; I forgot what that setting is called...). There is something to be said by bootstrapping your config entirely from scratch instead of using a "config framework" like Doom, but that can be too daunting and end up preventing one from trying things out.
