@thgs Bless you my child, you have chosen a holy path.

@cenbe

Sir, I honestly felt that blessing deeply.

Jokes apart, so far so good, I think is actually the right tool the more I learn about it.

My first "project" is to make me an IDE like interface that will shorten the feedback loop while writing PHP.

I'm sure along the way will get lost and explore a million other concepts than only those relative to my target.

@icedquinn was it you telling me off about it? I was wondering who was telling me off in the past.

thgs,
@thgs@phpc.social avatar

@icedquinn it was somebody who I respected their opinion 🤔 forgot who it was though..

@thgs i wouldn't have stopped you from using emacs :blobcatdunno: i use it sometimes.

it will destroy your wrist if you don't rebind the controls tho. doom emacs or spacemacs highly recommended.

thgs,
@thgs@phpc.social avatar

@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 if you want to use vanilla emacs https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode

thgs,
@thgs@phpc.social avatar

@icedquinn this looks interesting indeed. Will check it out. Im sold just seeing the example.

icedquinn,
@icedquinn@blob.cat avatar

@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:

@icedquinn @thgs

evil is kinda shit vim abstractions kinda suck imo,

meow seems to be a good alternative and I'm migrating from doom to prelude to have a less managed distro

thgs,
@thgs@phpc.social avatar

@meeper @icedquinn yea I mean, its just comfortable and within my habits of moving around text with the vim bindings.

Will checkout meow too. So many unknowns at this point

@icedquinn evil-mode i feel sort of home, coming from vim.

@icedquinn @thgs I've been using Emacs without evil for years and my wrists are fine

@scathach @icedquinn

You use your palm to press Ctrl right?

scathach,
@scathach@stereophonic.space avatar

@thgs @icedquinn Left pinky for ctrl and left pointer finger for meta

thgs,
@thgs@phpc.social avatar

@scathach @icedquinn

jokes apart using the palm gives a whole new perspective on the motor skill that is typing

icedquinn,
@icedquinn@blob.cat avatar

@thgs @scathach before i switched to the sofle i did start palming the control key. it makes a difference. although in emacs i largely rewired it not to need it.

icedquinn,
@icedquinn@blob.cat avatar

@thgs @scathach once you get chungus enough you will just start having things like a leader key that opens a menu, so you can just type \s from normal mode to save. or \jw to activate ace-jump to go to a word on the screen, or something else to get to swiper, and then you really just start flying across the screen :blobcatrainbow:

icedquinn,
@icedquinn@blob.cat avatar

@scathach @thgs in my last days of c++ i had started replacing the self-insert keys to completely eliminate holding shift (because it was a source of RSI.) so things like typing ;; would become :: and - would become an underscore if next to an identifier character kind of stuff

@icedquinn @scathach

so much to explore and learn..
