Acme was my daily driver for a couple of years (mainly writing). Went back to Emacs because of org-mode; it's just _that_ powerful.
I mostly miss chording and Acmes way of finding and opening files. It was intuitive and nothing felt hidden; like the commands and dired feels in emacs.
But I guess Acmes functionality could be added to emacs by elisp, no?
- klik99 4y agoYeah, I never really looked at mouse binding, but does look quite simple. This implements acme chording for copy/paste and the approach looks straightforward: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse.el https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse.... And this package looks like a cool way to recreate the context sensitive text actions: https://github.com/cmpitg/wand https://github.com/cmpitg/wand Combining the approach from the first and the wand package could potentially surpass the acme experience by making it easier to customize and extend. My friend joked about how I'm religious about the keyboard, but really it's about the right tool for the job, and if I had an acme-like mouse experience with emacs I'd def be mousing around more often. Funny that compared to normal people I'm a keyboard fanatic but compared to majority of emacs users I'm on the mouse way more often :)
- klik99 4y agoDid you use https://code.google.com/archive/p/acme-sac/ https://code.google.com/archive/p/acme-sac/ or acme in p9 or inferno? I only had limited experience with acme in p9 during some experiments with distributed audio, but once it clicked with me it made a huge impact on me - similar to when I first grokked emacs.
