Do you know of something like this for emacs?


What, Emacs-like keybindings for Visual Studio? That seems kind of like putting a steering wheel on your coffee table and calling it an Aston Martin.


Actually, Visual Studio does come with Emacs-like keybindings by default - check out Tools > Options > Keyboard, and choose the Emacs option from the dropdown menu.

Nice analogy though :-)


I don't knock something till I try it. I have been using Emacs recently, and I like it. I was simply asking a question. I was not looking to be made fun of.


I wasn't making fun of you - I was pointing out that (in my opinion) what makes Emacs Emacs can't really just be a "plugin" thrown onto an IDE.

Maybe a better analogy would be asking what sort of engine I need to purchase to turn my Civic into a 747.


While that's true, it can be kind of a pain in the ass to learn different key bindings for every program you might have to use.
