boon: Ergonomic Command Mode for Emacs
======================================
What is Boon?

In boon, quite a bit of emacs structure and user experience is
retained. Examples: the x key gives the C-x prefix map.

Evil is a vi (quite) complete emulation layer for emacs.
Besides, Emacs is already customizable enough as it is: the core of
Boon is just 200 lines or so. Figuring out all the ins and outs of
Evil to do what I want would probably require more effort.

God-mode is similar to "sticky modifier keys" in principle. Its

lacks the main benefit of a true modal layer: text operators. (what
vi fans call a "language for text edition").

Perhaps the work which is the closest to Boon in principle
(lightweight and integration with emacs). However, as far as I can
see, there is no special attention to ergonomics.
