living in emacs. some go to extremes, such as do everything in emacs, including, email, view pdf, music player control, irc, twitter, stuff.
my conclusion, it's no good. because:
- 1, tremendous time to setup.
- 2, it is typically inefficiant and impractical in emacs.
Do you customize every mode to use xah fly keys? For example if you view PDF in emacs?
