This is an Emacs configuration for stubborn vimmers and silent demon
annihilating protagonists alike. It strives to emulate vim as best it can, and
surpass it in any way possible.

It is tailored to OSX 10.11+, Emacs 25+ and my needs as a software developer,
This is an Emacs configuration for the stubborn, melodramatic, shell-dwelling
vimmer disappointed with the text-editor status quo. I wanted Atom's (or
Sublime's) snappy and [quasi]-native GUI, but more low-level customizability. I
wanted vim/emac's versality and modal philosophy, but didn't want to live in the
70's (or deal with VimL's shenanigans). I wanted the toybox IDE behemoths like
Intellij give you, but not the opinionated workflows that come with them.
I ended up with DOOM. It strives to look and act like modern editors (whatever
that will mean to me on any given day), emulate vim as best it can, and strive
to surpass it in any way possible. All to fit my needs as a software developer,
designer, scientist and doom enthusiast.

It was tailored for Emacs 25+ on OSX 10.11+. I use vim everywhere else.

e.g. help buffers will always pop up at the bottom of the frame, and are
removed with ESC.
* Workspaces & session persistence with **[workgroups2]**
* Project and workspace-sensitive buffer navigation and functions
* A vim-like environment with **[evil-mode]**
* vim-seek/vim-sneak functionality with **[evil-snipe]** (provides 2-char motions)

<kbd>shift</kbd>+<kbd>SPC</kbd>
* On-the-fly keybindings with `:[nviom]map`
* Global <kbd>C-x</kbd> omnicompletion (e.g. <kbd>C-x</kbd>+<kbd>C-f</kbd> for
files)
* Fast search utilities:
* Project and buffer navigation with **[ivy]**
* File browser sidebar with **[neotree]**
* Project search (and replace) with **[counsel-ag]** and **[wgrep]**
* Buffer search with **[swiper]**
* REPLs for many languages including Ruby, Python, PHP, JS, Elisp, Haskell and
Lua.
* [Minimalistic diffs in the fringe][sc-diffs] with **[git-gutter-fringe]**.
* Modded **org-mode** to be a modern note-taking/LaTeX/word-processing platform. (WIP)
* Code debugging interface with **[realgud]** (currently supports gdb, trepanjs,
bashdb and zshdb, working on Python/Ruby support)
* A do-what-I-mean jump-to-definition implementation that either uses major-mode
commands or falls back to **[dumb-jump]**/ctags.
* Pretty mode-line with **[spaceline]**, plus:
* evil-search/iedit/evil-substitute mode-line integration
* Indicator when macro is recording<br/>
* Show python/ruby version in mode-line (with rbenv/pyenv)
