Emacs Commands I Got by with for Years

• prescient.el

  13 592 5.5 Emacs Lisp

  ☄️ Simple but effective sorting and filtering for Emacs.

  

> It keeps a history for that session, but so far I have not found a way to maintain history between sessions.

I use prescient.el [0] with prescient-persist-mode for this, though a quick look seems that SMEX also has something similar [1] but I have not used that so I can't say anything about how it works.

• marginalia

  27 709 7.2 Emacs Lisp

  :scroll: marginalia.el - Marginalia in the minibuffer (by minad)

Check out marginalia[1]. Whenever you press M-x, it will pop up a buffer showing all the commands (with most recent ones on top) along with their keybindings and a brief description of what they do.

Embark[2] is also cool. It will show all the possible commands relevant to where the cursor is at that moment. I bind it to C-c a.

• embark

  65 841 8.6 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps

• svd_bin

  3 7 4.8 Python

  various tools + libraries, small or big, old'91 or new; most used are: vcs/, qini/ + aliases, filedir/, eee/, and audio-video

if anyone's interested in "independent" vim keybindings, made to work same in both insert and view modes (and a few different terminals), this is what i use for over.. 25years (?) Basically, few keys like old DOS PE2.exe or (later) e3.exe, and the like, then adding more with years. Like F2 for save, F3 for abandon, Ctrl-F/A for find forward/backward etc. Plus some other stuff that turns vim into kind-a IDE (grepping etc).
