Emacs

I'm looking for something that would make my coding more bearable.

Currently I'm using neovim plugin in VSCode, but Vim have bad support for mouse, like it's really weird, when I select text, I needed to setup in VSCode for it to pass to neovim, just so neovim could see it as visual selection. And if I give up on selection, I can't just select anywhere on text, to get rid of selection (like in normal editors), but need to Esc, or else, it would jump to place in text where I clicked.

​

But tried getting into emacs, just for the sake of better mouse support, but I'm not sure, if emacs is like Vim or not ? Like, I could see, it uses M- (Alt) and C- (ctrl) key.

Problem, is that it's inacesible for me to use those keys, like, I'm relying on touch typing, and typing Alt or ctrl everytime when I need to do something in emacs, would slow me down, and it would make touch typing super hard.

Alt key, is close to space, but it will cause me a lot of strain on fingers and cause RSI.

That's reason why I stayed with Vim, but also, wondered, if Emacs, can be like Vim, at least basic motions , moving etc. I don't use Vim that advanced anyways, just do basic motions, and stuff, and it greatly improves my work. But still, mouse support is major problem, that alone, completely slows down my coding. But yet, don't know what alternative I would have.

I heard about evil-mode, or spacemacs, but I don't like idea, that someone else remapped keys, their way. And also tried getting into emacs once, and got confused when trying to change configuration, like, everyone mentions, that I need to code some functions in some Lisp language (new for me), in order to have keybinding change or stuff.

Like, I haven't ever used VimScript, just need it for motions and a few plugins that helps with moving in file.
