I hope my question makes sense.
I am using Doom Emacs for a while now and have become fairly proficient. But I feel like whenever I am browsing emacs content online there are still many topics for me to discover. So I was wondering if there is anything that I might be “missing” yet which might help with my productivity or improve my development skills.
Sofar I what have learned, on top from my head:
- Org/Org Agenda (refile etc.)
- Magit
- Vterm
- LSP Commands
- Multiple Cursors
- Literal Config
- Navigating Emacs itself (which key, debugging, reading Emacs-Lisp (abit))
- Using Language specific commands, i.e. send buffer to repl
- Using Undo with Vundo
Only thing I know that I still need to learn is beeing more proficient with vim keybindings, but with that I know where to start.
I know the question is quite broad, but maybe there some “killer features” worth to explore which I am not aware of yet.
I’d appreciate any input.
The killer feature is emacs lisp. Once you’ve gotten a handle on the general, day to day use of emacs and the packages in your quiver the next step is to learn the language that powers the system. This will open up an incredible amount of power and customizability. It will change what you think emacs is, fundamentally.
Writing your own functions, modes, and packages is the thing that makes emacs emacs. Right now, you configure your system. But once you learn emacs lisp you will be able to customize it. This is a huge difference.
