I’ve been using konsole (and iterm2 on my work mac) for most of my working career, but on the linux side, I’ve recently switched to Kitty, but now I’m wondering if I can finally get used to just using emacs on both.
Does anyone use emacs as their main terminal? Is there one better than ansi-term that supports modern features like libsixel?
I still can’t quite get used to the keybindings (like C-c twice for ^C) and some other weirdness.
Vterm not working well with evil was actually my motivation to drop evil completely and embrace emacs key bindings.
It was the best decision I made. I don’t perceive a any measurable impact on my ability to efficiently write code or edit text, but I’ve seen a significant improvement on my ability to use emacs in general
I went the other way, I’ve used emacs key bindings for over a decade and switched to evil because it appears most things in doom emacs worked better.
Magit is still a bit of a mess with evil, though, but is manageable.
Maybe one day I’ll switch back again, but my fingers know both.
If you like modal but find evil a little bit weird, try https://github.com/meow-edit/meow. Its a bit of work to set up, but once you made it yours its great!
