🔴 Today on Live, we'll discuss a major change I'm making to my Emacs configuration: the total removal of Evil Mode. We'll hack on my configuration a bit to figure out some ways to smooth out the transition.

Can I kick the habit, or am I forever possessed?

@daviwil the game changer that helped a lot for me was home row mods: https://precondition.github.io/home-row-mods

@daviwil I used evil for a while when I first switched to emacs and was surprised by how easy it was to give up evil a few months later.

@oantolin yeah, it's been easier than I thought. I'm also using embark-act a lot more now which helps a lot!

@daviwil Good luck! I started down that same path just a couple of days ago. It's rough, but I'm determined to keep at it.

@jbaty it has actually turned out to be easier than I expected. I no longer slap ESC repeatedly, so that is a major improvement!
