🔗 Fantastic Configuration for Emacs view-mode
I just learned about Emacs view-mode.
Documentation of this minor mode is minimal.
The way I see it,
it’s sort of a read-only mode.
Except, it’s not the Emacs read-only-mode
that you can toggle with C-x C-q
.
Anyways, Emacs view-mode adds scrolling up and down
using SPC
and S-SPC
or DEL
respectively.
Which seems like very minimal functionality.
That until you get Charles Choi’s view-mode configuration which makes Emacs view-mode a lot more useful. To pique your interest, Charles Choi adds file-structure-based navigation bindings.
Having been around since Emacs version 16, view mode is both old and for me, overlooked with regards to thinking about customizing despite my frequent use of it. Using structural navigation in view mode has been surprisingly delightful. If this is new to you, I think you’ll find it the same.
