VS Code / Codespaces minimal Emacs-style setup

This repository keeps terminal behavior unchanged and focuses on a simpler VS Code UI plus Emacs-like editing experience.

What is configured

• .vscode/settings.json: UI simplification and editor defaults.
• .vscode/extensions.json: Emacs-related extension recommendations.
• .vscode/keybindings.json: minimal Emacs-style shortcuts for common operations.
• .devcontainer/devcontainer.json: plain Ubuntu base image for Codespaces.

UI simplification scope

• Hidden activity bar and command center.
• Disabled breadcrumbs and sticky scroll.
• Kept tabbed editor and stable sidebar position.
• No changes to your terminal workflow.

Shortcut experience

• Emacs window navigation: C-x 2 (split down), C-x 3 (split right), C-x o (next group), C-x 1 (close others).
• File operations: C-x C-s (save), C-x C-w (close).
• Command palette: M-x (show commands), C-s (quick open).
• Find & replace: C-h.
• Common edits: C-a (select all), C-w (kill line), C-y (paste), M-w (copy), C-/ (comment).
• Selection: Alt+Shift+W to shrink region (via expand-region extension).
• Main keybinding behavior comes from nisheetjain.emacs extension.
• All shortcuts are workspace-committed for instant availability in Codespaces.

Compatibility notes

• No OS-specific absolute paths are used.
• No project runtime dependencies are added.
• If recommended extensions are not installed, the repository still works as a normal GitHub Pages project.
