It's happening! Emacs is being absorbed into my being reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-26 13:39 So I've been playing with Doom Emacs and Org+Roam taking notes at work. Today I'm in some video editing software, made a mistake and hit "jk", "u" to undo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bjaminar · 2022-08-26 13:58 I am constantly typing “jk” in every possible text editor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-26 14:34 Lol, I shouldn't probably let on that many of my files have ":w" here and there too - damned modal editing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- compu_musicologist · 2022-08-26 15:26 I regularly try to use C-SPC to mark regions and M-w to copy text outside Emacs… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tangonov · 2022-08-26 15:45 C-s and C-y are killing me in Firefox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-26 15:55 I only found out about C-SPC yesterday - life changing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-26 15:56 I wonder if there's a plugin, I tried Vim keys for MSWord once (an Autohotkey script I think) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-08-26 16:01 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IfThisIsntBeautiful · 2022-08-26 16:28 Yeah I recently switched to evil from vanilla and wow modal editing feels significantly more productive ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fk00 · 2022-08-26 16:48 For non-vimers, what does jk do? I know u is for undo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-26 16:57 Its bound to ESC on some configs, so that gets you into "normal" mode so you can "u" undo. Undo doesn't work while in insert mode (that I know of I'm a noob) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- colemaker360 · 2022-08-26 16:59 jk is a common alias for ESC in vi-like editors. It’s a quick way to get you back to normal mode with keys already under your fingers on home row. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thetemp_ · 2022-08-26 16:59 Next-line and previous-line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jandrusk · 2022-08-26 17:01 lol, resistance is futile ---------------------------------------------------------------------- edumerco · 2022-08-26 17:26 It's the other way around really: you are being absorbed into emacs. ;DDD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0xMii · 2022-08-26 17:30 M-w with Cmd mapped to Meta on macOS is dangerous, because Cmd-W is close window there. I hit that on reflex all the time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- timmymayes · 2022-08-26 17:33 I"m a default user so Ctrl+n has led to many a random chrome window. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tangonov · 2022-08-26 17:54 I am currently using StumpWM which can allow key transformations on the window manager level. I will play with it and get back to you later ---------------------------------------------------------------------- samrjack · 2022-08-26 17:56 This reason and this reason alone is the reason I don’t touch the Cmd key for mappings in emacs. It’s more comfortable but can be quite dangerous 😆 . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thesolitaire · 2022-08-26 19:11 C-w gets me like this all the time in Windows (or Linux for that matter). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thesolitaire · 2022-08-26 19:12 You're going to start missing it in every other app you use. I know I do, because, sadly, I can't use emacs everywhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwaerondor · 2022-08-26 19:42 Disabling the C-s shortcut to send mails in outlook is always my first order of business when I am unfortunate enough to work in Windows. C-s and C-w in Firefox are the bane of my existence ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lexa_ · 2022-08-26 19:57 There is [tridactyl](https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl) with [emacs bindings](https://github.com/jumper047/tridactyl_emacs_config/b lob/main/emacs_bindings). It is far from perfect, but it brings some resemblance of Emacs hotkeys in Firefox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlowValue · 2022-08-26 20:53 Changing modifier keys in firefox (FF) helped me. to do so: 1. enter settings list `about:config` 2. change `ui.key.accelKey` to value `18`, [then FF uses `alt` instead of `ctrl`](https://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.generalAccessKey) `M-w` will now close tab instead of `C-w` 3. change `ui.key.chromeAccess` to value 6, [then FF uses `Ctrl+Alt` instead of `Alt` for sub functionality](https://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.chromeAccess). E.g. toggling whole words in search dialog, now with `C-M-w` instead of `M-w`. This is necessary, because we are using `M-` already, see step 2. Ping: u/Gwaerondor u/lexa_ , maybe this helps you too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yoogui · 2022-08-26 20:56 The same with "jj" for me. In every text editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snaut97 · 2022-08-26 20:59 To fix this, instead of "jk" then ":w", you can use "SPC f s" in normal mode in doom Emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LetterheadAncient205 · 2022-08-26 21:00 Emacs is everything. We're all just macros. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Shimmy-choo · 2022-08-26 22:22 [https://i.imgur.com/fQKDPxs.gif](https://i.imgur.com/fQKDPxs.gif) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7890yuiop · 2022-08-27 00:15 "Long live the new flesh." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- goodevilgenius · 2022-08-27 00:23 I just started a new job teaching web development at a prep school. The school requires the teachers to use the same IDE as the students, and their curriculum is very specific, so I have to use Brackets for the frontend course I teach, and PHPStorm for the backend course. PHPStorm already supports emacs keybindings, but the first thing I did on Brackets was find a plugin to enable emacs keybindings there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- goodevilgenius · 2022-08-27 00:25 > sadly, I can't use emacs everywhere. Sounds like you're not trying hard enough 😜 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yep808 · 2022-08-27 01:02 I regularly type :w RET when I'm in Microsoft Word... hahaha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shizzy0 · 2022-08-27 04:08 ‘jk’ means just kidding in vim. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lilytex · 2022-08-27 04:56 Evil user here, sometimes I send :wq or ZZ when chatting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-27 06:54 That's useful to know, and the semantics work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nnoobb · 2022-08-27 08:34 C-n in Firefox also helps me explode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UtamaruMonster · 2022-08-27 09:29 C-g, C-k, C-a, C-w - always hit those everywhere 🤣 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- birchturtle · 2022-08-27 11:32 Mmyeaah it’s kinda up and down what it means ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HeiWiper · 2022-08-28 08:58 When you think of it, there isn't really a point of hitting C-g outside of Emacs, but for some reason I still do... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Marlex31 · 2022-08-28 16:18 You can configure evil so that undo works in insert mode! I don't have the snippet at hand, but I have it bound to C-u and the evil want fine undo option set to true. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thephatmaster · 2022-08-28 16:24 Cool
