Hi Seb, I don't have much of a setup, actually. You already do much more than I do! I tend to do things manually until somebody else posts something useful already configured (like John has just done). For instance, I simply use C-c C-l to store a link manually, typing in the type of link (cite vs autocite) and the bibtex key directly. I used to use reftex with org but found it got in the way although I cannot now remember how or why! When in doubt, I resort to LaTeX. I have been using LaTeX for 30 years or so. The beauty of org is that it allows me to fall back to LaTeX without any hassle for most things. I suffer (or have suffered badly in the past) from RSI so my main concern is having things that are easy to type but paradoxically I don't have a problem with typing normal text and I do touch type quickly. I use evil mode which means I can avoid most chorded commands. To use org, I have bound many org commands to keys in the normal state mode map in evil. For instance, I have org-export-dispatch assigned to ", e" so I can export to pdf and view it in emacs by typing ", e l o". I have similar key bindings for many org commands. For instance, "t" on a headline will invoke org-todo. ", n" and ", p" move to next and previous headlines, "<" to org-metaleft, etc. The aim is to avoid all or most M- and especially M-S- key bindings which kill my hands. C- is not so bad but I avoid even these if possible. I use a few yasnippets and make significant use of abbrev mode in Emacs to help with typing. I also make use of org's own snippet system. Sorry I cannot be more helpful and thanks for the link to your setup. eric -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.50.2, Org release_8.2.6-923-g233c11
