Please help me in translating my vimrc to emacs equivalents.

For those who came from vim, can you tell me the equivalent settings and plugins for emacs?

Some of these I know. For example, nerdtree in vim is similar to neotree or treemacs in emacs. However, some I don't know what they do. It would be easier if you added a comment to each, saying what it does. Even better would be if you said what it did, googled a bit, and evaluated some alternatives for yourself. Doom emacs was made by a vim refugee and might be a good starting point if you want a vim-like workflow. It includes packages like treemacs. My hunch is that once you have doom emacs, porting your .vimrc will be much easier than if you just start from scratch.

> It would be easier if you added a comment to each, saying what it does I did add a comment before every line, stating what the setting or plugin is for. Thanks for the doom emacs recommendation. I had trouble installing it on my manjaro linux for some reason.

Well, yes, but this doesn't mean anything to me: "basic visual settings set number set linebreak I know what numbers and linebreaks are, but it's not clear why you need to set them, or what it has to do with visual settings. What issues did you have installing on manjaro? Again, I think that's the starting point you want.

Oh sorry, I didn't comment on those two lines as I thought they would be self explanatory. " To display line numbers in vim like in an IDE. set number "When making new line, don't create a new line in the middle of a word i.e don't split words to make a new line. set linebreak Rest of them all are commented. I don't remember what the error was then with doom emacs. But I will try to run it again. I should remove "evil mode" right, for doom emacs to work? So it won't conflict with that?

I don't have time now but I can help you out tomorrow

`set number` corresponds to `(global-display-line-numbers-mode)`, and `set linebreak` to `(visual-line-mode)`.

Your `command Src source ~/.vimrc` corresponds to defining a command: (defun reload-init-file () "Reload the `user-init-file'." (interactive) (load user-init-file)) You can then bind that to a key or invoke by name it via `M-x`.

I got through a bit of the translation: [https://gist.github.com/anonimitoraf/9b58286dfc92965cba8e03c7d46e8971](https://gist.github.com/anonimitoraf/9b58286dfc92965cba8e03c7d46e8971) but I just realized, you're probably better off using [doom emacs](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs). The defaults are sane, customizations are almost always optional and the [community](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs)'s really active/helpful. (Disclaimer: I'm a doom emacs user with \~2k lines of [config](https://github.com/anonimitoraf/doom.d/blob/master/config-sections/packages.org))
