Watched a stream on modal editing options in #emacs by @daviwil and my thoughts are that meow is interesting HCI project and quite good in terms of UX: It visually shows the object you will operate on first and let you make some modification second.

I had around a decade of #vim experience, I could do some operations very efficiently, but it never tasted right. I think verb+object approach is just suboptimal, also it can't be accompanied by a nice UI feedback.

@abcdw it's pretty interesting! It would take some retraining after years of Vim binding use, but I do like the visual aspect and the flip of noun/verb

@abcdw @daviwil You’ll really enjoy helix-editor.com.
Funny thing is that I thought I was fully convinced in the value on subject + verb command systems by qsapp.com, but had never realized the power of the model applied to text.

@abcdw @daviwil Visual feedback sometimes slows me down.. visual feedback generates cognitive load in my head.
