Doom Emacs

There is a very opinionated and batteries-included "Vim-y" Emacs called Doom [0]. A decent way to approach this if you don't want to start writing elisp outta the gate to have fancy editor features is to learn enough of the Doom config to tweak it to your liking, then add some elisp customization in as needed. I personally use this approach, usually cribbing config and elisp tweaks from the top contributors' configs. The Evil layer that Doom and most everyone seems to use for Vim modes works really well, and has a lot of ways to tweak things (e.g. Changing `j` to `gj` for going through line breaks in normal mode; I forgot what that setting is called...). There is something to be said by bootstrapping your config entirely from scratch instead of using a "config framework" like Doom, but that can be too daunting and end up preventing one from trying things out.

Quicksilver

For a browsable clipboard history on macOS, I recommend LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/; docs at https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/ClipboardHistory.html). I used to use the Clipboard Plugin of the free and open source app Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/), which worked fine but was slightly less streamlined. Some people prefer Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/).
