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
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.
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.
EG: "In the Nature study referenced by Dr. Patrick, the authors write, “…high intake of red meat relative to fruits and vegetables appears to associate with outgrowth of bacteria that might contribute to a more hostile gut environment,” and, “Together, our results suggest venues through which a diet low in fruits and vegetables relative to meats select for outgrowth of putrefactive bacteria, which might help promote colorectal carcinoma.”"
