Text Editors

Vim

Vim has become my go to te editor; though I'm laughably "bad" at it. (e.g. I still use the arrow keys, etc) — I suppose this could be a bit of encouragement, don't worry too much about being hardcore, you can actually have a go at it "incrementally."

Spoiler: you quit with ESC and then
q!
to leave without saving or
wq
to save ☺

Emacs

*I used to flirt with Emacs occasionally, mostly on the strength of org-mode. It's a bit of a frustrating thing; I can imagine the power that can come with really mastering it — but the learning and modification curve is too steep for my lifestyle, usually. This is why in the past I used mostly Zim, and now mostly Obsidian*

Doom emacs (is what I'm trying now)

copying notes to self for here:

But before you doom yourself, here are some things you should know:

  1. Don't forget to run 'doom sync', then restart Emacs, after modifying
~/.doom.d/init.el or ~/.doom.d/packages.el.

This command ensures needed packages are installed, orphaned packages are
removed, and your autoloads/cache files are up to date. When in doubt, run
'doom sync'!

  1. If something goes wrong, run `doom doctor`. It diagnoses common issues with
your environment and setup, and may offer clues about what is wrong.

  1. Use 'doom upgrade' to update Doom. Doing it any other way will require
additional steps. Run 'doom help upgrade' to understand those extra steps.

  1. Access Doom's documentation from within Emacs via 'SPC h d h' or 'C-h d h'
(or 'M-x doom/help')

Have fun!
