GNU Emacs

Emacs is an operating system masquerading as an editor. v29+ (2025) features built-in Eglot (LSP), Tree-sitter, and Native Compilation for speed.

When to Use

Lisp Hackers: Configured in Elisp.
Org Mode: The best note-taking/GTD system in existence.
Magit: The best Git interface ever made.

Core Concepts

Buffers & Windows

Everything is a buffer (files, terminals, games). Windows display buffers.

Key Chords

C-x C-s

(Save).

M-x

(Execute command). Emacs relies heavily on

Ctrl

and

Meta

(Alt/Option).

Org Mode

Structured plain text. Todos, tables, code execution (Babel).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

Use
use-package
: The standard macro for tidy configuration.

Enable Native Comp:

(setq native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors nil)

. Massive speedup.

Try Doom Emacs: A pre-configured distribution optimized for Vimmers (Evil mode).

Don't:

Don't fear the pinky: Remap
```
Caps Lock
```
to
```
Ctrl
```
immediately.
