but here’s the thing: the default key bindings are one of the worst, least usable tire fires I’ve ever had the displeasure of using
but you can install evil!! and this fixes the problem
except in the places it doesn’t
and in every single package which tries to emulate the default bindings
and yes I could redefine every key in every mode I ever want to use but jeeeeeeeeeezus christ

@Athena@chaosfem.tw Vim for the win, although Nano isn't bad either.

@Athena@chaosfem.tw Saaaame. I just started learning Emacs today and I'm feeling this. But I will at least give the defaults a chance before switching to a pre-packaged alternative experience (or decide to manually redefine them one by one).

@Athena@chaosfem.tw Emacs isn't an editor. It's a LISP implementation that happens to come with an editor written in it. 😁
