Re:Show HN: Breakout with a roguelite/vampire survivor twist on Thursday February 27, 2025 @01:48PM (#43197200)
so fun ! great job !
no, there is not. kanata is lightning fast
Kanata is amazing ! i'm using it right now. it can do many things like making a key a dual-function key (a letter on tap, a modifier on hold) and so much more

it recently got a new chording feature where you can press a whole bunch of keys at once (or just two if you'd like) and something will happen. like, you could press the letters q and n at the same time and program Kanata to send the word question or some macro like a hotkey or a series of hotkeys and strings. it's all up to you. i have a QMK board, but because Kanata has many more features and isn't limited to the memory of its chip, i use Kanata instead of QMK to architect my layout, complete with multiple layers and many QoL niceties

the new intel battlemage cards look sweet. if they can extend displays on linux, then i'll definitely be buying one

> I think there is not enough believers in the ideology anymore

I don't know what ideology you're talking about, but the only one I've ever had is the Emacs ideology: use the best program ever made and be happy.

Re:Master Emacs in One Year on Monday March 20, 2023 @10:12PM (#35241716)
That's funny. I actually come from VSCode. I grew so sick of it that I decided to try Emacs. I hadn't done it because I always saw it as a meme because I always heard jokes about it.

I was horrified for months. How did no one tell me how much better Emacs is over pretty much everything and especially VSCode?

In terms of brilliance, VSCode is a photon or two. Emacs is the Tarantula Nebula.

Re:Use GNU Emacs on Monday March 06, 2023 @04:33PM (#35047945)
I disagree 100%.

Emacs is the best. I do not hesitate to recommend it. Will it work for you? I don't know. Might it be exactly what you were looking for? Yep! That's how it was for me: it gave me everything I ever wanted and more. Period.

awful opinion! carnivore diet?? just awful

excuse me, could you clarify if your statement about marks and blocks here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12118609) was about WordStar or Emacs?

thank you

PS I'm sorry for digressing; there was no reply button on that post.
