How does one do it in sunOS?

L1-A Then you can program in FORTH, which has full Emacs key binding support! https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/blob/master/for...

So do you program the keybindings in Forth or lisp? Is the lisp implemented in forth? Or the forth in lisp?

Are parentheses forth words??

This hurts my brain. (And/or makes me want to implement a forth in lisp in forth, as a quine)

More than anything else I'm confused by the positive response this is getting. * Very few people use Emacs * Anyone who nevertheless is using Emacs should be willing to read documentation. The only way to learn Emacs is through reading the docs. * As illustrated, copy-pasting a use-package clause is an easy way to get started with something. The pain point is the alternative ways to set a package up that are distract…

To me it's just absurdist humour, like Monty Python.

I use Emacs and this video doesn't reflect my experience at all. (I use Doom Emacs, and stuff Just Works.)

what dont you like about vim that would make you switch away from it? There's no universe where I can imagine doing that

honestly Vim is pretty slow, and it utterly sucks with long lines. you can do "g" motion, but I cant seem to get my muscle memory to remember that. to me "down" should always use whats visible on the screen, not just dumbly move to the next line.

you're supposed to learn the mechanics of vim and then configure it in a way which you find intuitive. i find that much more natural than software which tries to anticipate (and indirectly reinforce) some arbitrary "common sense".

From a colleague; I haven’t tested it: --Remap for dealing with word wrap vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'v' }, 'k', "v:count == 0 ? 'gk' : 'k'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true }) vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'v' }, 'j', "v:count == 0 ? 'gj' : 'j'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true })

what is this? I dont recognize that language
