Herbert,
thanks for these. Very useful. I already had some bindings but have
added some more based on yours. My current setup is:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/evil-key-bindings-for-org ()
;;(message "Defining evil key bindings for org")
(evil-declare-key 'normal org-mode-map
"gh" 'outline-up-heading
"gj" 'org-forward-same-level
"gk" 'org-backward-same-level
"gl" 'outline-next-visible-heading
"H" 'org-beginning-of-line ; smarter behaviour on headlines etc.
"L" 'org-end-of-line ; smarter behaviour on headlines etc.
"t" 'org-todo ; mark a TODO item as DONE
",c" 'org-cycle
",e" 'org-export-dispatch
",n" 'outline-next-visible-heading
",p" 'outline-previous-visible-heading
",t" 'org-set-tags-command
",u" 'outline-up-heading
"$" 'org-end-of-line ; smarter behaviour on headlines etc.
"^" 'org-beginning-of-line ; ditto
"-" 'org-ctrl-c-minus ; change bullet style
"<" 'org-metaleft ; out-dent
">" 'org-metaright ; indent
)
(mapcar (lambda (state)
(evil-declare-key state org-mode-map
(kbd "M-l") 'org-metaright
(kbd "M-h") 'org-metaleft
(kbd "M-k") 'org-metaup
(kbd "M-j") 'org-metadown
(kbd "M-L") 'org-shiftmetaright
(kbd "M-H") 'org-shiftmetaleft
(kbd "M-K") 'org-shiftmetaup
(kbd "M-J") 'org-shiftmetadown))
'(normal insert)))
#+end_src
I've been using evil now for quite a few months and I am very happy with
it. Especially for RSI sufferers, a mode based editor avoiding most C-
and M- commands is very nice.
Combined with ratpoison and keynav, my fingers seldom have to leave the
home row!
