<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I felt like telling my experiences of using org-mode for school as a new emacs user.</p> <p>So to begin, I am a long-time vim user, but not a power user. I used vim to edit smaller files (like config files, etc.). I primarily used a graphical IDE for my &quot;real&quot; work (JetBrains tools specifically). After watching some videos on emacs (shout-out DistroTube), I decided to give emacs a try. I went for doom emacs since it seemed to be the most popular, and it had vim-like keybindings (evil mode). Once I learned the basics of org-mode, I decided that this would be amazing for taking notes in class. </p> <p>After a few weeks of taking notes in class, I am very happy with org-mode for taking notes. I really like the customizability of emacs (not org-mode specifically). </p> <p>Some of the features I use the most are:</p> <ul> <li>Inserting LaTeX snippets for complex math/comp. sci notes.</li> <li>Folding headers to keep my notes clean</li> <li>Adding TODO tags (with org agenda) to log assignments/exams</li> <li>Exporting org files to other formats (especially HTML) to share with classmates</li> </ul> <p>What other features do you guys like to use for this purpose? And is there any feedback you can give me to make my experience even better?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/tman5400"> /u/tman5400 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/r581pr/my_first_few_weeks_of_using_orgmode_for_school/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/r581pr/my_first_few_weeks_of_using_orgmode_for_school/">[comments]</a></span>
