OK so, I'm about 4 days into using evil and I like it but it feels like the model I use to manage buffers doesn't really work with emacs. Basically, I rebind shift and left/right to move to the previous/next buffer. Then I use lots of splits and use up/down/left/right to navigate the splits. The problem is that emacs/helm makes tons and tons of buffers so rather than left/right navigating through the stuff i'm working on, it navigates through buffers that I can't even use because they're just storing something for helm. I'm 100% sold on emacs otherwise but this is just killing me. What am I doing wrong?

Perfect that sounds like what I want, I'll give it a shot.

bollig posted:So now that we've had some time to digest Spacemacs, is there more of a consensus? I've personally gotten some pretty divided reviews, of the little reading on it I've been doing. A bit of background, I'm midway through my first year as a Computational Linguistics masters student, and I've spent the last 6 months shaking hands with VIM (I started with emacs, but after reading about the VIM keybindings, I went with that). But I now am a lot more interested in all the crazy poo poo that Emacs can do. Long story short, I want to keep the VIM keybindings (at least for text editing/coding) but want to do the emacs poo poo. I'm really happy with it because I like vim but i wanted something more project oriented. I don' t have time to learn emacs but spacemacs had me up and running in no time. I'm sure I'll eventually migrate away from spacemacs into my own thing, but if you're just trying to make the switch I definitely recommend it.

spacemacs layouts are really good and i cant believe i havent been using them. this is the tool i've been wanting since i started programming. i dont really get or like how the project based layouts work so instead i just have a layout file associated ocaited with each project and then load/save that layout when i load the project

No, not layers. There's a spacemacs/layouts micro mode (leader-l) that lets you: 1) Assign perspectives (workspaces) to 1-9 2) Those workspaces operates on their own buffer lists, so you can prevent things from getting all mixed up in the global buffer 3) Save and persist the layouts between sessions. So it's just a little window manager thing but it works really well and it's very easy and intuitive to use.

I've been watching random emacs / vim usage videos on youtube and I've had a bunch of "oh, whoa, that mode is awesome" moments. I don't tend to think of youtube for these kinds of things, so just a heads up to anyone else out there.

is there a secret to using any of the built in terminals effectively? it's the only thing preventing me from moving to gui emacs, but it just cant offer me a terminal experience close to having a tmux split with emacs. unfortunately, the experience of using the built ins really sucks, and I almost feel like I'm missing something because they don't even get close to feeling productive for me.

pgroce posted:Just to be clear: Are you using "terminal" the way the Emacs documentation does (to refer to various windowing environments Emacs runs in, like Windows or "NextStep"/Mac)? Or are you talking about terminal emulation in an Emacs instance? I'll assume you're talking about the first thing. Sorry for being really unclear: I ran emacs within a tmux pane inside of gnome-terminal. This allowed me to jump between emacs another tmux split, giving me a very nice terminal just one keystroke away from emacs. I'd like to switch to the GUI version, running within a windowing environment, because as you've pointed out, it generally works better. But I really dislike the terminal emulators built into emacs. Anyhow, all of this was meant to support an absolutely insane workflow that I'd slowly built myself into, so I've done the sane thing and removed all the bizarre constraints from my environment and now I don't have a problem.

eschaton posted:What serious vim users? Anyone who stops for 10 seconds to think "wow, I press these buttons all the time and they're in terrible spots, maybe I should rebind them." Or perhaps "wow, this button does not exist anymore, perhaps I should rebind it, oh wow this is even better!"
