#+title: EVIL

[[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil][Evil]] is an extensible vi/vim layer for [[id:0a87430b-6616-4f92-8ecc-22ceeebf43c6][Emacs]].  Because... let's face it.  The Vim keybindings are just plain better.

#+begin_src elisp
(use-package evil
    :init      ;; tweak evil's configuration before loading it
    (setq evil-want-integration t  ;; This is optional since it's already set to t by default.
          evil-want-keybinding nil
          evil-vsplit-window-right t
          evil-split-window-below t
          evil-undo-system 'undo-redo)  ;; Adds vim-like C-r redo functionality
    (evil-mode))

(use-package evil-collection
  :after evil
  :config
  ;; Do not uncomment this unless you want to specify each and every mode
  ;; that evil-collection should works with.  The following line is here
  ;; for documentation purposes in case you need it.
  ;; (setq evil-collection-mode-list '(calendar dashboard dired ediff info magit ibuffer))
  (add-to-list 'evil-collection-mode-list 'help) ;; evilify help mode
  (evil-collection-init))

(use-package evil-tutor)

;; Using RETURN to follow links in Org/Evil
;; Unmap keys in 'evil-maps if not done, (setq org-return-follows-link t) will not work
(with-eval-after-load 'evil-maps
  (define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "SPC") nil)
  (define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "RET") nil)
  (define-key evil-motion-state-map (kbd "TAB") nil))
;; Setting RETURN key in org-mode to follow links
  (setq org-return-follows-link  t)
