Less is more

Meow is yet another modal editing mode for Emacs.

It aims to blend modal editing into Emacs with minimum interface with its original key-bindings, avoiding most if not all the hassle introduced by key-binding conflicts. This leads to less needed configuration and better integration. With fewer commands to remember, more is achieved.

Some key features compared to existing solutions.

• Minimal configuration to build your own modal editing
• No third-party dependencies (try it without touching your configuration)
• Minimal number of keys occupied
  • Much easier to remember for people trying modal editing
  • More keys available for your own key-bindings
  • Most of the time, you do not even need to hold shift!
• Lightning fast (unlike Evil)
• Minimize modifier usage (e.g. SPC x f for C-x C-f) inspired by god mode
• Better workflow for kmacro application at multiple places
• Interactive selection manipulation inspired by avy
• Selection as top-tier object, and keybindings built around selection
• Compatible with vanilla Emacs keymap (or any other keymap in any packages)
• Effortless uniform keymaps across modes
• Key-binding conflicts handling made easy
