Less is more
Meow is yet another modal editing mode for Emacs.
Meow aims to blend modal editing into Emacs with minimal interference with its original key-bindings, avoiding most of the hassle introduced by key-binding conflicts. This leads to lower necessary configuration and better integration. More is achieved with fewer commands to remember.
Key features compared to existing solutions:
- Minimal configuration – build your own modal editing system
- No third-party dependencies (try it without touching your configuration)
- Doesn’t occupy too many keys
- Much easier to remember for people trying modal editing
- More keys available for your own key-bindings
- Most of the time, you don’t even need to hold shift!
- Lightning fast (unlike Evil)
- Minimizes modifier usage (e.g.
SPC x fforC-x C-f) inspired by god-mode - Better workflow for kmacro application at multiple locations
- Interactive selection manipulation and expansion inspired by avy
- Selection as top-tier object, and keybindings built around selection
- Compatible with the vanilla Emacs keymap (or any other keymap from any package)
- Effortless uniform keymaps across modes
- Key-binding conflict handling made easy
