Kanata: Cross-platform multi-layer keyboard remapper with advanced customization 1 year ago

Kanata is amazing ! i'm using it right now. it can do many things like making a key a dual-function key (a letter on tap, a modifier on hold) and so much more

it recently got a new chording feature where you can press a whole bunch of keys at once (or just two if you'd like) and something will happen. like, you could press the letters q and n at the same time and program Kanata to send the word question or some macro like a hotkey or a series of hotkeys and strings. it's all up to you. i have a QMK board, but because Kanata has many more features and isn't limited to the memory of its chip, i use Kanata instead of QMK to architect my layout, complete with multiple layers and many QoL niceties

Emacs 29.1 3 years ago

I think there is not enough believers in the ideology anymore

I don't know what ideology you're talking about, but the only one I've ever had is the Emacs ideology: use the best program ever made and be happy.

Master Emacs in one year 3 years ago

That's funny. I actually come from VSCode. I grew so sick of it that I decided to try Emacs. I hadn't done it because I always saw it as a meme because I always heard jokes about it.

I was horrified for months. How did no one tell me how much better Emacs is over pretty much everything and especially VSCode?

In terms of brilliance, VSCode is a photon or two. Emacs is the Tarantula Nebula.

Use GNU Emacs 3 years ago

I disagree 100%.

Emacs is the best. I do not hesitate to recommend it. Will it work for you? I don't know. Might it be exactly what you were looking for? Yep! That's how it was for me: it gave me everything I ever wanted and more. Period.
