    Vim and Emacs are popular in ultra critical environments, and as far as we know they aren’t compromised by any intelligence agency.

          You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot

          You rarely need to hold more than crtl, shift and a character, and you have ctrl and shift both sides of the keyboard so it’s easy

          Meta is toggled in the default configuration tap it then do whatever key combinations.

          Ctrl+g cancels partly complete commands

            I dunno now I’m intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that’ll soften the learning curve? :D

          I have – were I more artistically talented – often wanted to create graphics and stickers for Emacs utilizing the noble octopus.
