# Emacs plugins

## Evil

I find evil mode to be an essential plugin to make use of the Vim muscle memory I've developed over the years for editing. Another reason is that I find modal editing to be less straining for extended typing compared to Emacs', notorious strain on hands due to key combinations. Emacs plugins like [god-mode](https://github.com/chrisdone/god-mode) can somewhat help with the key combination situation, Vim modes takes it a couple of notches higher.

## Projectile

This is a pretty useful plugin for working with /projects/. Projects are usually any source controlled directory, or any directory with a `.projectile` (empty) file. Projectile allows, among other things, to apply commands in bulk mode within the current buffer's project. This is best explained via some examples,

* `projectile-kill-buffers` - This command will close all the buffers of the

  current project you are working on.

## Org Mode

See [org-mode](https://github.com/dewaka/wiki/tree/5f20d7a5dc0080e0c37052255f4ca2ea56b8c584/text-editors/emacs/org-mode.md).

### Org mode enhacements

* [org-cliplink](https://github.com/rexim/org-cliplink) - this plugin is pretty

  useful to paste nicely formatted links into an org-mode buffer.
