Spacemacs - a journey into the joy of Evil (Vim style editing)

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

Spacemacs unleashes the powerful experience of Vim style multi-modal editing, making you more productive and reducing RSI by avoiding keyboard combos. This session will help you think in the language of Vim and use it for creating, editing and refactoring your code very quickly.

We will quickly go through the vim basics and help you understand how to speak Evil https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/spacemacs-basics/speaking-vim.html

Also cover powerful tools like iedit, narrowing and helm to help you refactor your code in lots of different ways.

Before the session

Please have Spacemacs installed with Evil as the default and preferably helm (there are only a few helm specific things)
