Temporarily disable Vim keybindings in Spacemacs


I have Spacemacs installed with Evil-mode enabled. Sometimes when someone who is used to Emacs is using my Spacemacs I want to disable the Vim keybindings and have regular Emacs bindings.

Is it possible to toggle (enable or disable) the Vim keybindings in Spacemacs?


Solution

  • Set dotspacemacs-editing-style variable in the dotfile to 'emacs and reload the dotfile, I think its SPC f e R by default. When you want your Vim keybindings back, change the variable to 'vim and reload it again.
