# evil-motion-trainer
## About
You've already opted to give your Emacs setup a streak of [modal
editing](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil)
[malevolence](https://github.com/PythonNut/evil-easymotion), so why not train
yourself to move around your Emacs evil buffer with all the grace and poise of
advanced motions. We are not barbarians, after all.
Entering `evil-motion-trainer-mode` makes Emacs drop lazily repeated
hjkl-based motions after a
configurable threshold, forcing you to think about a more precise motion.
### Why?
Simply put, these keys are not the best choice for the job in most cases.
Word-wise motions (e.g. wW, bB,
eE, ge), character searches (e.g.
fF, tT, ,, ;)
and line jumps (e.g. 10j 5k) will get you there with less
keystrokes.
## Configuration
Enable in a buffer with:
```emacs-lisp
(evil-motion-trainer-mode)
```
Turn on for all buffers:
```emacs-lisp
(global-evil-motion-trainer-mode 1)
```
Configure the number of permitted repeated key presses:
```emacs-lisp
(setq evil-motion-trainer-threshold 6)
```
Enable a super annoying mode that pops a warning in a buffer:
```emacs-lisp
(setq evil-motion-trainer-super-annoying-mode t)
```
Add to the suggested alternatives for a key:
```emacs-lisp
(emt-add-suggestion 'evil-next-line 'evil-avy-goto-char-timer)
;; See also: (emt-add-suggestions)
```
