Do you people write your journal? Do you use some app on your phone or do you write it on your laptop/desktop? Or do you prefer just plain paper? Why do you prefer some things over another? Do you keep your diary super private, private or public? I am just curious because I have started writing my diary in just plain text in editor on my android phone and I am searching if there are other medias for this. Thank you

@k11m1 Strictly speaking, yes, I use spacemacs in Evil mode and thus have access to the vim bindings. Though the bulk of the keys I use are likely spacemacs specific.
@freemo
Why do you use vim binding? Do you find it superior to just plain emacs shortcuts? Are those shortcuts too much for your hand?
@k11m1 When i started I had no preference for either. so I picked what was most popular at first.. then I realized that emacs shortcuts tend to be rather convoluted and just didnt appeal to me.
In the end 99% of the shortcuts I use are spacemacs specific anyway so it just wasnt a big issue.
@freemo
And do you use those commands with leader and vim style or just C-M-S key
Or something?
@k11m1 most spacemac keys are not really chorded keys... you press ach key in sequence releasing the previous key before engaging the last.
So for example if i want to open up theproject tree for my configuration i presss each one of these keys in sequence one at a time: space p t
@freemo
I get it, thats the vim style. I have read that its better for your fingers to use these commands instead chorded. Also they say they might be faster... Who knows
@k11m1 its more comfortable, but i like the fact that spacemacs uses chords that are intuitive. but yea its not unlike vanilla vim. Afterall it is based on the vim approach through evil as you said.
@freemo
Ye I am writing markdown in markor (MD editor for android). On PC I want to try switching to vim... But since you use spacemacs. I think you have some experience with vim too at least the binding no? I think spacemacs users are mostly using the evil flavour and thats why they use spacemacs... Or maybe even the layers... I don't know...
