Heresy - modal key bindigs? #15

Open dumblob opened 2 years ago

dumblob commented 2 years ago

I like simple but highly effective things like zee. Despite my general dislike of modal interfaces, with text editing it's the opposite :wink:.

Therefore my heretical question - would you be willing to support modal key bindings?

martintc commented 2 years ago

A really awesome feature of spacemacs that Zee could adopt if modal editing becomes option is when you initialize spacemacs for the first time, it prompts the user to choose between evil mode keybindings (vi/modal) and holy mode (emacs). I am personally a fan of emacs keybindings, but being able to offer both is a nice feature and I really like how spacemacs handles the choice up front.

I am waiting the same feature (modal ediding).

Have been using holy mode for 7 years and switched to Doom modal editing. Can't wait to apply Doom keybindings to Zee.
