🦄 lil-org

lil-org is an experimental Emacs config built with simplicity and note-taking in mind.

I wanted a simple note pad with the following features:

• super fast startup (.5s): integrates only two packages: expand-region and spacious-padding. emacs-init-time is 0.5 seconds
• feels native: looks and feels right at home on macOS. lil-org is inspired by TextEdit and Bike
• beginner friendly: lil-org acts as a gentle intro to Org mode

Keybindings:

• driven by standard Emacs keybindings
• Ctrl + l to expand selection
• Ctrl + ; to contract selection
• Cmd + Shift + C to copy entire buffer to clipboard
• Meta + n to jump 8 lines forward
• Meta + p to jump 8 lines back
