Re:Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit by globular-toast on Tuesday September 05, 2023 @05:05AM (#37389472)
The thing is about emacs, it makes you self-sufficient. You can always change any behaviour you want to, including this.

I've never used prelude before. I just ran it for the very first time and this is what I did to discover what to change:

C-h k <down>

Help buffer comes up for that key. It looks like it's bound to a lambda, which is actually a bit annoying as you can't jump to the definition or anything, but it's enough to see that it's in `guru-mode-map'.

Then I grepped the project for "guru" (I used C-c p s g because I figured out it was using Projectile and familiar with its default key bindings, but you could use M-x grep, M-x rgrep or just grep in whatever way you are familiar with).

I found this in the docs: https://prelude.emacsredux.com/en/latest/troubleshooting/#wa... (Note, I found and read this in emacs, in docs/troubleshooting.md, I'm just giving the web link here for convenience).

Basically just add `(setq prelude-guru nil)` to your init file.

Btw, for anyone wondering, to run these kind of starter kits "standalone", clone the repo and from within the repo run `emacs -Q --load init.el --init-directory=$(pwd)`. Otherwise it will try to use your actual init dir by default.
