I hope my question makes sense.

I am using Doom Emacs for a while now and have become fairly proficient. But I feel like whenever I am browsing emacs content online there are still many topics for me to discover. So I was wondering if there is anything that I might be “missing” yet which might help with my productivity or improve my development skills.

Sofar I what have learned, on top from my head:

  • Org/Org Agenda (refile etc.)
  • Magit
  • Vterm
  • LSP Commands
  • Multiple Cursors
  • Literal Config
  • Navigating Emacs itself (which key, debugging, reading Emacs-Lisp (abit))
  • Using Language specific commands, i.e. send buffer to repl
  • Using Undo with Vundo

Only thing I know that I still need to learn is beeing more proficient with vim keybindings, but with that I know where to start.

I know the question is quite broad, but maybe there some “killer features” worth to explore which I am not aware of yet.

I’d appreciate any input.

    Things I’d recommend checking out:

    • start using dired as a file manager.
    • get comfortable with macros.
    • hyperbole as a bookmark manager on steroids (specifically explicit buttons).
    • find a templating system for standard document/code generation (I use yasnippet after failing to make sense of srecode).
    • write an interactive emacs lisp function to solve a text editing problem; extra credit for clever use of temporary buffers.
