@icedquinn yea remapping has been in my mind. I do use the right control sometimes, also been thinking about home row mods but havent figured it all out.
I've seen those a little bit, learning the basics without them still.
@thgs god-mode just lets you skate on holding all the modifiers down. otherwise it preserves all the hotkeys as-is for any mode. and works with any vanilla-esque plugins you might install down the line.
until you graduate to using evil-mode :blobcatcrown:
@meeper@thgs i liked it but i've since stopped using vim (rip bram.) now i use kakoune for bulk insertion/editing and i rarely open emacs (i still use it to journal.) sadly getting emacs to work like kakoune is a chore.
