idk actually, it seems overly multikey-heavy

@kemona_halftau it is by default, but it doesn't have to be. there's evil-mode for example if you want vi keybindings

@kemona_halftau I had a spacemacs phase. Is that still a thing? Learning curve was fast. I was able to replicate my complicated vim setup fairly easily from what I remember.

@kemona_halftau I currently just use emacs with mostly-default keybindings, but maybe I should change that and learn evil-mode. I find modal editing weird but maybe that’s just because I’m not used to it. The defaults aren’t really designed for modern keyboards, they’re designed for a space-cadet keyboard, which has a load of extra modifiers (which emacs doesn’t use by default but does support) and has the positions of ctrl and meta swapped from modern keyboards (meta = alt on modern keyboards, and what emacs calls alt doesn’t exist) which is why some of the default keybindings seem awkward.

I also want to get some more digital piano pedals and use them as extra modifier keys with a pi pico to translate to USB, but I couldn’t figure out how to get TinyUSB to simulate a HID keyboard (it might be easier to just use USB serial and have a userspace program that sends the keys with uinput)
