I've just started getting into emacs and am almost done with what I think is my final config (just adding vertico, consult and marginalia, haven't added them all, but got vertico and consult working in a mostly default state, still need to tweak a bit).

Then I am going to try to learn more of the navigation keys (I got some of the basics (mostly)) but still need more experience beyond the basics. I am able to get my odin/raylib code to compile with C-c C-c. I even hand compiled 30.1 from github to update from Debians older defaults. The only problem I ran into was forgetting how I got it so when I launched the client it didn't duplicate the icon on my kde taskbar/panel. Uninstalling the old setup must have removed my copy of the start up rules/desktop window name. But got that settled after a bit of searching.

I am trying my hardest not to use EVIL, but it's so tempting, because I've gotten used to modal. But I want to use the full power as mostly established with the key combos.

I'm not sure how much of these features will matter to me as I'm not sure I've used much of the full system. Anything that makes it faster is nice. So far it's been smooth, but I do wonder if running the server (via sysvinit in mx) does cause some lag, as I've felt the system have little hiccups (not when using emacs actively, the client not even open. I did try to adjust the GC settings I found as a tip to reduce lag and do more GC when not heavily used).

Finally does anyone know where to get a 'Meta' 1.25u mechanical keycap???

Even "spacecadet" themed caps I've seen still use "Alt" as the title. Anybody have thoughts on like colemak-dh vs qwerty or other layouts. I think it was protesilaus saying he liked chocofi with colemak-dh (and very insistent that it was "THE" way) so I'm curious if anyone had experience with that (or maybe it was another emacs user).
