I used Vim for a really long time, but then got a job at a company that uses Emacs + Slime really saw the light.
Emacs is an amazing program, but really is awful without EVIL/Paredit. I don't really like the commands chaining and actually find it hurts my wrists after a day in Emacs mode. If anyone has any advice on how to maximize emacs I would love to hear them!
- dmm 14y agoPlease don't ignore wrist pain. If your behavior doesn't change the pain will not get better and can get much worse. When I used a traditional keyboard layout. I bound the key immediately to the left and right of space as control. Similar to the space-cadet keyboard: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Space-cadet.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Space-cad... This allows you to use the relatively strong thumbs to activate the commonly used ctrl key. I now use a Kinesis advantage pro which similarly allows the thumbs to activate many commonly used keys.
