I personally havent really used emacs for organizing, but I really like it for bash coding and writing software documenation in orgmode. I am even starting to get a little bit comfortable at writing my .emacs file but at some point I will have to do a lot of reorganizing and updating and I kind of dont want to do it (I still use .emacs and not emacs.d/init.el and all keybindings still use the legacy global-set-key command).

Apart from the work I am putting into it it is really great, because when I actually get to do stuff I can do so with great efficency. I am even starting to miss my emacs keybinds when not using emacs (especially ctrl-k for killing from your cursor position to the end of the line ctrl-a for jumping to the beginning of a line and ctrl-e for jumping to the end of a line). At this point when I am writing stuff in emacs (as example working on a bash script) I at maximum use my mouse for scrolling.

Fuck, I really did turn into the meme (and I am not even using it for longer than 4-5 months at maximum)___

    I haven’t tried emacs but in any other text editor for these things I’d do:

    • shift+end, del
    • home
    • end

    do you have any more complex examples where emacs excels?

      • tramp means you can edit files and execute code on other computers/servers remotely. No need for your preferred editor to be installed and configured everywhere.
