Don’t swap to a new layout, it’s too much work to learn. Instead, swap your K and E keys. E being common but not being in your home row is responsible for a significant chunk of the inefficiency of the QWERTY layout and even if you stop here you’ve already made a huge improvement. You’ll make typos involving K and E for a few days but you’ll adapt very quickly without ever having to go through the “learning a... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Is difference in number of keystrokes (keychords) not fairly convincing evidence that, at the very least, vim results in less finger effort (and therefore lower risk of RSI) than other editors? Even if you don't believe that there's a speed advantage (it's entirely plausible that the delay from cognitive processing necessary to navigate vim's more complex interface dwarfs the speed increase of pressing... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I used the QGMLWY layout by Carpalx[0] for a year or so. The site is really interesting, worth a read. Afaik they made a list of the most common trigrams (three letter combinations) then used a genetic algorithm to optimize the layout for most of the same factors listed in OP's GitHub Readme (minimizing same finger sequences, certain kinds of movement). In the end I switched back to qwerty for 3 reasons: 1.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Yes, you need to install Emacs. It is probably available from whatever package manager your system uses. I prefer Doom (https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs) to Spacemacs. However I haven't looked at Spacemacs for many years; perhaps it's now on par with Doom. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Ever since I've started my Emacs journey it seemed like the wholy grail to have your own (vanilla!) configuration without any hard dependencies on frameworks like Doom or Spacemacs. There are plenty of dotemacs configurations ouf there which can serve as a great source of inspiration. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
I am a long-time Emacs user and used to maintain my own config, but I switched to Doom Emacs [1] a year ago. Doom Emacs is like a pre-packaged/pre-configured emacs distro. You still need to configure the features that you want to use, but it's a lot easier (and faster) than having to do everything from scratch, and definitely if you already have some emacs background anyway. For me, it makes the newer, more... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
