Beyond Vim and Emacs: A Scalable UI Paradigm - Questions
summary
A new modal UI called rigpa (Indra) lives on GitHub (https://github.com/countvajhula) and is not yet on MELPA; it demonstrates visually creating new modes and an abstraction layer built on top of Hydra (works equally with Evil). The core claim is that stacking many small modes — a mode of mode approach — turns complex commands into single keystrokes, reducing modifier churn. Demo shows live mode creation, preserves Vim-style bindings on Dvorak, and the prototype appears to function as intended.
