I've been waiting for this release before finally trying to switch from Vim (MacVim) to Spacemacs. Anybody have any tips for somebody who's never really used Emacs?

I had used IDE's, windows based text editors like UltraEdit, and vi/vim for the longest time before I decided it was time to go back to Emacs. I dedicated two weeks to using it almost exclusively to pick up the muscle memory of major keybindings. I haven't looked back since. The keys I really needed out of the gate: * F3/F4 - building macros, then C-x e to execute (after that, just plain e) * C-s - search * M-s o - o…

I wish I could get a similar utility for Python and Javascript as this seems to show off some cool FP auto complete. I'm basically looking for a way to remove my dependency on my 5-7 IDEs and I don't know how. I wish someone could show me a very good, simple, alternative to all of them. I work in C, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, and C# and I'd like to be able to use a single IDE solution for all of them. Sadly I can…

Macros combine great with another amazing feature: registers. Hit C-x C-k b [0-9] and the macro can be called with C-x C-k [number chosen]. This way you can quickly use multiple macros. You can also C-x C-k n NAME to save the macro as a callable function and if you then decide that it would be useful in the future, just call insert-kbd-macro and emacs will generate the lisp code that defines your macro and you can pu…

Third person I see running last macro with C-x e. In my setup, and I think it's standard, repeating f4 is enough.

Map command key to caps lock. Setting (global-set-key (kbd "M-P") 'scroll-down-line) (global-set-key (kbd "M-N") 'scroll-up-line) Has also been indispensable for scrolling (though you may choose to do so differently, coming from vim).

I forgot about that. Caps lock is useless 99% of the time and having that control available easily with your left pinky makes emacs (and everything else) work. I'm so confused when I get on other people's computers and caps lock is actually caps lock.

Are you sure that you launched the correct emacs? (`M-x version RET` in Emacs to check) This is an extremely common error for people using the built-in version which, as of El Capitan, is still Emacs 22.1 (almost 10 years old).

Ack, you're right! I installed it, added a symlink to the head of my path, but forgot to open a new terminal so continued using the old hashed path. Edit 10 minutes later : Ok, it's installed now. And I've set this up in my .zshrc: -alias vi=vim +alias vi=emacs Let's see how this goes.

  alias et='TERM=xterm-256color emacsclient -t'
  alias ec='emacsclient -c -a=emacs'
  alias ed='emacs --daemon'
  alias kill-emacs='emacsclient -e "(kill-emacs)"'
  alias e='TERM=xterm-256color f -e "emacsclient -c -a=emacs"'
