The extensible vi layer for Emacs

There's also meow-mode[1], which isn't a vim emulator as such, but it is a different modal editing layer for Emacs which is a lot faster and has a lot of neat ideas. It doesn't interfere w/the stock keybinds at all though, which is much nicer imo (I use a 'hybrid' editing style generally)

What I like about Meow is that it replaces a lot of stuff for me -- Evil, evil-collection, general, expand-region, and maybe something else. And it does not seem to be as invasive.

But the killer feature is meow's macro system

What’s great about meow’s macro system?

I've been seeing posts about packages like God Mode, Boon, and Meow[1] for a long time, and just haven't set aside time to check Meow out yet bit am very exited to c:

Haven’t tried others, but I really like boon. It’s so simple and it has the verbal actions like delete

I’ve patched the boon code to support switching between Dvorak and QWERTY

There's also Boon which I like quite a lot but I opted against using mostly because of all the places I would need to type where I wouldn't have access to Boon unless I ported it (a plan I assure you but one lumped behind 1,000 other projects TODO).
