My emacs settings

A vim user's forray into uncharted territory.

I've tried prelude and spacemacs before but it's like using Janus for Vim... You need to get down and dirty with the editor to really understand what's going on.

This is my attempt to start using Emacs without any preconfigured settings. I'm starting from sratch and adding things as I learn.

Feel free to ping me if you see something that's horribly wrong or I should look into.

Personal Notes

Stop fighting emacs. Go through the basic tutorial C-h t and learn some basic emacs survival skills. It will make everything much easier.

Cheat Sheet

You finished the tutorial? Cool, here's some essential commands to help you on your way.

• C-g - Quit current action. Like Esc in vim. Remember this one. You will use it alot...
• C-x o - change to the next (other) window
• C-h f - Search the documentation for a function
• C-x 1 - Close all other windows except the current one

Notable stuff:

• use-package for dependency management.
• Evil vi for emacs.
• Magit for awesome git integration. Like vim-fugitive on steriods.
