evil-mode

Recently I tried Emacs and found Evil helpful to keep my vim custom. I'm used to typing "jj" to return normal mode from insert mode like many Vimers do but don't know how to make it in Evil mode. I map it like this but seems not correct: (define-key evil-insert-state-map (kbd "jj") 'evil-normal-state) This works for me. It requires the KeyChord library: ;;Exit insert mode by pressing j and then j quickly (setq key-chord-two-keys-delay 0.5) (key-chord-define evil-insert-state-map "jj" 'evil-normal-state) (key-chord-mode 1) It is inspired by @phils answer above and based on Simon's Coding Blog:

I'm frustrated with the default behavior of autocomplete overriding key bindings used by yasnippets . Is there a way to set a precedence so that tab will try to expand a snippet before trying to autocomplete the word? Quick disclosure: I'm using evil-mode. If they're both minor modes, then precedence is determined by the order of elements in minor-mode-map-alist which, unless explicitly manipulated, is simply determined by the order in which the libraries were loaded. Ensure that autocomplete is loaded before yasnippet , and yasnippet's minor mode map would have precedence. You could also use

I have recently started using Emacs after using Vim for a long time now (like many others out there), and I personally feel that Vim movement keys and text objects are one of the best things an editor can have. I heard about emulating these features in Emacs using the different plugins, but after reading a bit more on the internet, I'm confused. I have come across three modes specially: Viper , Vimpulse , and Evil . Can someone please help me out with understanding how to use these modes to achieve a near perfect Vim emulation? Do I need to install all three of them? What is the difference

I do know and have read the appropriate topics section for this site. I have seen various topics about RSI, posture etc closed as being off topic and referred to another site/section. I think however that my question will be worded such that it comes under the "Software Requirements" section as I am looking for input on specific types as well as configuration of software for some very specific medical issues I have. This is not a topic about prevention of RSI, it is just the closest I can put in a title that people will understand off the bat. I may have already answered my question just by
