Don't be evil

And restart Emacs as well.

;;;; Vim mode
;;(use-package evil
;;  :ensure t
;;  :config
;;  (evil-mode 1)
;;  (evil-set-initial-state 'term-mode 'emacs))

;;(use-package evil-escape
;;  :ensure t
;;  :init
;;  (setq-default evil-escape-key-sequence "jk")
;;  :config
;;  (evil-escape-mode 1))

;;;; Matchit
;;(use-package evil-matchit
;;  :ensure t
;;  :init
;;  (global-evil-matchit-mode 1))

;;;; Evil surround
;;(use-package evil-surround
;;  :ensure t
;;  :config
;;  (global-evil-surround-mode 1))

Next, we'll learn some basic, mostly what written here is my concerns as a Vim/Evil user moving to Emacs, trying to find the equivalent key.

So, in evil-mode, we move around with hjkl, but before that, we need to press esc or in my case jk to switch from insert mode to normal mode.

Without evil-mode, we don't have modal editing, no more mode switching, we're in insert mode all the time, so you can just type whenever you want, but if you want to move around:

It should not take you more than 15 minutes to getting used to the new keybindings.

Next, we'll see what's the Emacs equivalent of Vim keybinding for basic functionalities like searching, selecting, copy, paste.

At this point, we should take a break from the exploring and start using Emacs with these keybinding for a day or so, to get yourself being used with the changes.

For functions that you don't know, just start typing M-x, type some words and press tab to see the suggestion list, use it from here instead of your evil keybindings. There's no need to hurry.

Now, it's time to take the control of Emacs and make it your. Before making the move to vanilla Emacs, I'm using general mode to make some custom keybinding. Now we can't use it, but we can just map the key directly using global-set-key.

This is some of my keybindings, first, we make some movement enhancement. I find it very useful to use super-k/j to jump by paragraph, it's faster than crawling line by line with C-n/p, next, instead of C-a for moving to beginning of the line, I change it to C-0.

;; Custom keybinding
;; Movement and editing
(global-set-key (kbd "s-j") 'forward-paragraph)
(global-set-key (kbd "s-k") 'backward-paragraph)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-0") 'beginning-of-line)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-o") (lambda () (interactive) (end-of-line) (newline-and-indent)))

On MacOS, depends on your keyboard, you can remap the Cmd key to Ctrl or Meta:

(setq mac-command-modifier 'control)
;; or
(setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)

Also, instead of typing M-x all the time, I bind C-== to helm-M-x, this will let me have a suggestion list of M-x command, and the hand movement is way better than M-x.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'helm-M-x)

Next is some window management keys:

;; Window management                               
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c /") 'split-window-right)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c \\") 'split-window-below)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c l") 'windmove-right)     
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c h") 'windmove-left)      
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c k") 'windmove-up)        
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c j") 'windmove-down)      
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c =") 'balance-windows)    

For closing window, there's a C-x 0 key and it's good enough, so we don't have to change.

Now, some other stuff that also helpful:

;; Searching
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x /") 'helm-projectile-ag)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x .") 'helm-resume)
;; Functions
(global-set-key (kbd "C-.") 'repeat)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c f e d") (lambda () (interactive) (find-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c f e R") (lambda () (interactive) (load-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")))
