I have wanted to try emacs for a while but from what I've seen it doesn't have tabs. You can split the screen in half but for any other files you have to write the filename everytime.
Is there a package/plugin/whatever to work around this?

emacs works with buffers.
each buffer you open is basically a tab.
you can freely switch between them and split view them.
>>55072349
>freely switch between them
But every time I need to open a new one, I have to write the name.
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut like "switch to the next/previous open buffer", and maybe a one line list of open buffers
People who use emacs/vim etc. Are like people who ride hybridcars

Be honest, how new are you?
>>55072398
You can do that and you can also just switch to the previous buffer if that's what you're looking for.

Now i'm on vs code and while less powerful and more resource hungry i'm not tempted to go and write a quick "fix" if the editor isn't doing exactly what i want.

Your code is formatted terribly. Please read the documentation for pep8 or at the least run it through flake8 or some linter.
>>55071993
Because it has minimal effect on my efficiency. I spend much more time thinking what I'm going to write than actually writing the code so the choice of editor is quite irrelevant to me. I use whatever is available and that ends up being vim most of the time.
If this is not the case for you then you will probably be replaced in next decade or so.

Eh, what? You are going into a workforce that is full of idiot managers who care more about if they are making their ethnicity quotas than the text editor you use.
I fully suspect people will think less of you for using Vi and you will be invited to less social gatherings, coffee breaks, etc.

I cannot configure it so I have auto complete C++ as good as code blocks, not to mention the file handling and separation, I like that shit automated, I dont want to fiddle for 15 minutes before I even start doing actual work.

Even notepad has better auto-completion than code blocks. Nice try shill.

I don't think so, I've been using it for like half a year.
I'm on mobile now, so here's a screenshot of Emacs running on my android tablet. I use termux to run Emacs on Android, it's pretty good now, the only real problem is that the keyboard handling is a bit shitty, and some key combinations don't work as of now. I didn't have any serious stuff to open in it. Emacs looks pretty much the same with my config on a desktop, the only real difference is that I don't have here.
Here's my .emacs if you want to take a look at it or use it yourself:
https://github.com/DoMiNeLa10/.emacs
>>55078722
>not putting your init.el into an org file
>>55078804
I use multiple files, and using configs in org would make Emacs launch slower, and I don't see the point of doing it.
I was considering using ~/.emacs.d/init.el though, but I don't want if I want to change the name of my repo and stuff.
>>55078972
>and using configs in org would make Emacs launch slower
Why on earth would you need to launch emacs more than once?
>>55079008
I run Emacs as a server on my main computer, and it takes a while before I can use it because Emacs is booting up.
I use multiple instances of Emacs when I mess with elisp or I really mess around with it. I use ERC as my IRC client, so I don't want to log out every 2 minutes when I'm experimenting with Emacs.
>give me a good reason why you arent using emacs as your main editor
"Do one thing, and do it well."
Can emacs use SFTP?
>>55079119
It can if you use it through ssh.
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode#toc28
>>55079091
If you use your main emacs session as a server then there's no need to restart it. And your experimental instances can be launched basically instantly with emacs -q.
>>55079238
I don't restart my server, unless I want to make sure that my config is loaded properly after changes.
emacs - q is pretty useful, and so is just running another instance to see if your .emacs works the way it should.

C-x b switches between buffers, it asks you for the name of the buffer you want to switch to, you can autocomplete it, and it defaults to the last buffer you had open.
C-x C-b lists all buffers, it's great when you want to kill many buffers at once.
As for tiling:
C-x 2 splits vertically
C-x 3 splits horizontally
C-x 1 leaves only the current window in the frame left
C-x o switches to the next window (you can use it with a numeric argument)
C-x { and } change the width of the window
C-x ^ changes the height
That's the basics.
>>55079401
I forgot to mention that C-x 0 (zero, not the letter 'o') removes the current window.
