About to declare Emacs bankruptcy. Any advice for cool or new packages, defaults, or ideas I should use before I start building my init.el? Also interested in guides to using evil.

• org-evil

  3 71 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Evil extensions for Org-mode.

I see that evil-collection says it provides minimal org support. It apparently integrates with org-evil and evil-org, but it's not clear to me if there's substantial differences between them.

• evil-org-mode

  5 376 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Supplemental evil-mode keybindings to emacs org-mode

I see that evil-collection says it provides minimal org support. It apparently integrates with org-evil and evil-org, but it's not clear to me if there's substantial differences between them.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• rune-emacs-config

  5 2 0.0 Emacs Lisp

I can also vouch for corfu and friends (Marginalia, Orderless, Vertico, Embark, Consult); the philosophy behind the way they're written is appealing and setting them up / extending them is pretty trivial. Embark and Consult are particularly great. [Relevant corfu config] [Relevant MOVEC config]

• dirvish

  19 764 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  A polished Dired with batteries included.

The file manager Dirvish. You know how the veterans say that Dired is the best file manager? Well, with dirvish even mere mortals can agree. It has panes, a pretty UI, and even pdf preview through pdf-tools.

• emacs-which-key

  37 1,706 8.3 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup

install which-key. It's literally the perfect extension. There is no reason not to use which-key and you will be glad you have it some day.

• evil-guide

  15 1,227 0.0

  Draft of a guide for using emacs with evil

Evil is a complex machinery build by vim nostalgic refugees, so familiarity with Vim's modal editing model is still recommended. I like this, even if it's not a tutorial: https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide

• crafted-emacs

  31 709 8.6 Emacs Lisp

  A sensible base Emacs configuration.

  

You might like to take a look at crafted-emacs.

• SaaSHub

  SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  

• dotfiles

  1 - -

P.S.: When restarting your config, consider a literate programming approach. I've started mine less than a year ago https://gitlab.com/vidbina/dotfiles/-/tree/reorg-for-lit-prog/emacs and tinkering and commenting out sections (or recalling what the heck I was trying to do) is a lot easier now.

• embark

  65 858 8.4 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps

The only reason not to have which-key might be if you use Embark and set up embark-prefix-help-command instead.

• lambda-emacs

  9 140 5.0 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs distribution with sane defaults, pre-configured packages, and useful functions.

  

I am a professor in the humanities (philosophy) and I maintain a framework for Emacs (I don’t know if it rises to the level of “distro”) that is conducive to humanities work, including writing, notes, citations, a good ui, and basic programming. I’m happy to say more if you have any questions. https://github.com/Lambda-Emacs/lambda-emacs
