I’m glad nobody is recommending garbage like doom emacs, evil and etc.
Just start from the tutorial start adding your keybindings to make your life easy.
It’s a weird default. The file is literally a elisp code with .el like almost everything else.
You can select in one go in GNU Emacs. You can bind this to some shortcut.
(defun select-func-at-point ()
(interactive)
(let (bounds pos1 pos2 mything)
(setf bounds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'defun))
(setf pos1 (car bounds))
(setf pos2 (cdr bounds))
(set-mark pos1)
(goto-char pos2)))
I used both extensively but the both are faster than term or shell.
Vterm is the fastest and most correct about handling key events.
Maybe term will get similar improvement as vterm in the future. This is such a basic thing that most other IDEs also seem to support properly.
Show him one of the email clients on GNU Emacs. Vterm’s directory tracking is also unique.
as long as those files are opened via tramp, there is no way to do that, unless you patch tramp.
You actually have to learn how to develop those features.
