| I just dove in about six months ago, and now I feel v productive in Spacemacs. The Spacemacs ABC videos are helpful. Three of Spacemac's four pillars (mnemonic, discoverable, consistent) make it relatively easy to get the hang of. My early usage looked something like: - Think of task I want to accomplish that probably has key binding - Begin typing SPC - <continue drilling down through menus that look promising> - If that doesn't work, type SPC-: and begin typing what I think the command might be called - If that doesn't work, search web for "Spacemacs key binding <thing I want to do>" - If that doesn't work, find/read relevant Spacemacs layer documentation - If that doesn't work, ask in the Spacemacs gitter channel - Memorize key binding Once I learned a binding I found it easy to remember due to the mnemonicness: open this file in Github? SPC-g-h-o of course (g (git) - h (..hub) - (open)) view most recent search buffer? SPC-s-l (s (search) - l (last search buffer)) maximize this window's buffer? SPC-w-m, etc |
