  • Yes. It’s worth it.

    If you’ve ever tweaked your Doom config, you’re already writing elisp. Going from setting options to writing new modes will certainly take time, but lisp is a language that builds on itself.

    In fact, Emacs+elisp is one of the best systems for learning by doing. C-h f, C-h v, C-x C-e, etc will get you far. The built in tutorial is absolutely worth going thru, and understanding lisp will improve your understanding of other languages as well.



  • In any buffer C-z (control + Z) temporarily disables evil-mode in that buffer. C-z again brings it back.

    For a more permanent solution: go to $DOOMDIR/init.el, find the line that says (evil +everywhere), comment it out (add a semicolon in front). Then doom sync

    Emacs has a built in tutorials to help with basic movement/editing, and C-h k (that’s control + H then K) tells you what any key does.
