Sites

I learned a lot about emacs from the following sites

• Sacha Chua Here you can find many useful posts and subscribe to the extremely useful emacs weekly newsletter.
• Mastering Emacs. A really nice book about emacs.
• Emacs wiki
• http://pragmaticemacs.com/
• https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs
• CestlaZ A series of youtube movies by Mike Zamansky on how to work with and configure emacs. He provides many useful suggestions.

See My emacs repo.

I only use org-mode, latex, python, and git (and sometimes plain txt). I think I optimized my init.el for this, and I stripped all the rest.

I decided to not tinker with the standard emacs key bindings; over the years I have noticed that they are mostly very well thought-out, and, perhaps more importantly, they don't change.
