vscode

Vscode is the perfect middle ground between vim and emacs. I think it makes reading code really nice, and has a very strong community. Not (nearly) as much of a whole deal as elisp, but a lot of the settings require no tweaking.

Honestly, since it uses the golden readline commands sometimes it just feels like Emacs.

Shortcuts

command-P : pick a file (like command-O in Obsidian)
command-shift-P : execute a command (like M-x in emacs)

Tips

If nothing is selected, what ever action (copy, cut) will affect the whole line. This is better than command-L!
