To make things more friendly, you can use something like ivy-mode from ivy or helm-mode from helm to allow you to quickly narrow your selection. By "nested key", I mean that you can type d C-h k i w ( dkiw) to find out that iw here is bound to evil-inner-word. Knowing about C-h k can be useful, for example, if you want to find out what a nested key is bound to. For example, you can find out that C-h k is bound to describe-key by pressing C-h k C-h k. To find out what a key is bound to, you can use C-h k to pop open a help buffer with information about the command. If you want to find out about a variable, you can use C-h v ( describe-variable). Since emacs has a different help system, :help will not work the same as in vim. If emacs freezes from a long-running command or infinite loop, you can use C-g to cancel it.Ĭ-h is a prefix key for getting help. You can replace C-g with for most cases (see Using Escape to Exit the Minibuffer), but it is still useful to know about it. if you type M-: which is bound to eval-expression and want to exit).
You use it, for example, to exit the minibuffer (e.g.
Even if you don't plan on learning emacs' keybindings in full, I recommend learning these when starting out.Ĭ-g is bound to keyboard-quit (or an equivalent) by default. I've been able to get by without almost ever using emacs' default keybindings. I never did, but Sacha Chua's visual guide for emacs beginners might be a good resource for those who want to. Some people prefer to learn emacs' keybindings first without using evil. Why don't keys defined with evil-define-key work (immediately)? How do I prevent parentheses becoming unbalanced in my init file? Can I have better completion in the ex command line? How do I copy and paste to/from the clipboard in terminal emacs? What's the equivalent of vim-unimpaired's cow? What's the equivalent of nnoremap cw ciw? Does emacs have vim-like tabs (distinct window configurations)?
