@emmy@transfem.social @Athena@chaosfem.tw I can recommend taking a look at meow, it works with all the standard keymaps but gives a different way of interacting with them without having to use ctrl https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/master/TUTORIAL.org#keypad they keypad mode makes it so doing C-x C-f is just SPC x f, or C-x d would become SPC x SPC d since it just translates these inputs to the normal key combos it doesn't require rebinding stuff overall it's the most interesting modal/different editing scheme for emacs I've found, I don't currently use it but I am planning on moving to it https://github.com/meow-edit/meow

@emmy@transfem.social @Athena@chaosfem.tw I use meow which tries to bridge the gap between the two. The cool thing is I can use any layout. I've been using this ergonomic layout. The only thing I miss from vim/evil is multiple cursors (also helix's regex search to cursors). I could probably find a pacakge for it. But that's against meow's ethos. Instead, I should get good at beacon/emacs macros Honestly god-mode (similar feat. in meow) is a must have for me cause it maps modifiers to sensible "layers". I don't want to get Arthirtis from having to C-x M-x C-M-x all day. I just (Space x) (Space M x) (Space g x). It rarely conflict with stock/plugin keybinds much (rip Magit g)
