As the title suggests, I would like to use spacemacs like keybindings in plain vanilla evil emacs.
The spacemacs key bindings are very intuitive. But the package is too heavy for my low-end laptop. Even simple operations take a long time. So, I am trying to see if there is an intermediate solution.
You should take a look at the general package. It allows to to create “definers” which let you use a prefix key like “space”. From there you just need to add the bindings that you liked from Spacemacs.
C-h makaM-x describe-modeand see all the stuff that is active (e.g., minor-modes) and start disabling those that you can live without. Can can also run the profiler and see what functions are the most costly and disable the stuff that is a hog --M-x profiler-start, do some stuff,M-x profiler-report, read about it, and thenM-x profiler-stop. Also, you may wish to inspect things that get called every command loop by callingC-h vorM-x describe-variable--post-command-hook,pre-command-hook.
