## Spacemacs - a journey into the joy of Evil (Vim style editing)
by John Stevenson
https://practicalli.github.io/

Spacemacs is a community configuration that makes it simple to use Emacs for Clojure development (and pretty much anything else you can think of).

Spacemacs unleashes the powerful experience of Vim style multi-modal editing, making you more productive and reducing RSI by avoiding keyboard combos. This session will help you think in the language of Vim and use it for creating, editing and refactoring your code very quickly.

We will quickly go through the fundamentals of vim style editing and help you understand how to speak Evil in Spacemacs. https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/editing/vim-style/speaking-vim.html

Also cover powerful tools like iedit, narrowing and helm to help you refactor your code in lots of different ways.

## Before the session
Please have Spacemacs installed with Evil as the default and preferably helm (there are only a few helm specific things)

18.30 Session starts
19.45 Discussions / wrap-up

Our monthly gatherings are often varied, from talks to workshops to public speaking training and many things in between. They are a chance for anyone in the community to share their experiences.

We have talks from well-known speakers in the Clojure/Script community and support and encourage those new to public speaking to share their experiences. Everyone has a different journey in life, so we all have something to share

We also have workshops at our gatherings and we can book a room with desks and power for everyone to work on. Past workshops include Transducers, ClojureScript games, and Spacemacs for Clojure development.

Our gatherings are typically on the first Tuesday of each month (except December when we have our annual ClojureX conference.

Thank you
London Clojurians
