1 to research

1.1 backup file location configurable?

1.2 highlight line

1.3 git gutter needed

1.4 what the hell is that footer thing you cannot edit?

1.5 C-o does not open last file, not sure why yet

1.6 persistant undo possible?

1.7 helm/ivy - dash?

Still trying to figure what use-case each of these tries to solve. I’m primarily looking for something that offers me an nice interface to deal with all kind of lists of elements, like files, buffers, commits, tags, grepper etc.

I used to cover that all with vim.fzf and would again like to have something like that.

Though it seems, that I just need some inteface for lists of any kind that I can easily fuzzy search.

And other plugins to actually provide the content.

1.8 gruvbox-theme

1.9 which-key

Seems great for learning the editor commands. But could also be distracting

1.10 magit

1.11 language server protocol

Mainly for my JS work, but probably worth to look at something generic if there is something out there.

1.12 vim-unimpaired ?

Couln’t find something replicating unimpaired until now.

Maybe I just need to roll most of these on my own

1.13 vim-abolish ?

1.14 ranger/dired-ranger

2.2 evil related

2.2.1 evil

evil uses “state” for the “modes” in vi. The term “mode” is already used in emacs for a set of key bindings for a cetrain sort of text. A “mode’ may include custom bindings for evil states.

The state is shown in the status bar.

There is also an emacs state <E>, basically turn off evil, which you can toggle with ’C-z’.

I’ve heard numerous times that people claim evil covers 99% of what they use in vim. [[evil-maps.el][~/.emacs.d/elpa/evil-20190729.704/evil-maps.el] is a good place to start looking if something does not work for you.

2.2.2 evil-escape

2.2.3 evil-leader

I was first not sure if I should even start using the leader key as I did in my vim config, as it would again not bring me further in learning the standard key bindings vim offers.

This is still a valid point, but I also feel it will slow me down quite a bit, now that I’m considering to switch to Emacs.

So I’ll start with using it, but keep it very high in my priorities to finally getting rid of it.

This is pretty important, as I’m pretty sure that I’ll still be using Vim in quite some remote systems.

2.2.4 evil-surround

3 considering packages

3.1 general

3.2 evil related

3.2.1 evil-args

3.2.2 evil-matchit

3.2.3 evil-collection

This seems to use vim like keybindings in most common emacs places. Not sure yet if this is a good idea.
