First if you’re coming from vim save yourself a lot of time and use Doom Emacs. Learn on Doom and someday you can decide if you want to build your own config from scratch after you know what you’re doing.
Out of the box this is going to feel the most similar to vim and it’s very easy to add packages that have already been integrated.
You should now be able to edit a file how you’re used to. Next is to learn the basics that will help you learn more. So all the help menus (SPC-h), fuzzy function finder (M-x or SPC-:), Eval (SPC-;), file finder (SPC-SPC).
The doom documentation does a pretty good job of walking you through this:
- https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/docs/getting_started.org
- https://noelwelsh.com/posts/doom-emacs/
It’s going to take you more than 3 hours.
Pretty cool! Currently I’m using Orgzly (well… Orgzly revived since development stopped https://github.com/orgzly-revived/orgzly-android-revived )
Web might be enough for me but do you plan on making an Android version?
Right now I use git to track all of my org documents but syncing and capturing from my phone is a pain. I need git because I run actions to update calendar services when things change. Would love something that I could seamlessly integrate with capture that also is a useful note viewer.
