Thanks for the tour, Harry! I’ve been emacs-curious ever since seeing evil-mode in action, but I haven’t made much progress to date.
In Vim, I know where the relevant configuration/source files (vimrc, runtimepath) live. I also know how to navigate and search within Vim’s help system; an important part of that knowledge is familiarity with terminology conventions like :ex-command, function(), 'option'. Knowing where the relevant files live and how to use the help system effectively has given me a tremendous leg up with Vim, and I imagine the same would apply to learning emacs.
Do you know where I might find an introduction to those topics that doesn’t assume the reader is already very familiar with emacs? I’ve found lots of articles covering basic keybindings, but not so many on the “lay of the land”.
It would also be interesting to know which modern keys most emacs users use for meta, super, hyper, etc.
Oh, and I’m super jealous of emacs’ incremental search. Slick!
