Switch from vim to emacs mode in spacemacs

Question

When I first installed spacemacs it prompted me into deciding which mode I want it to be configured. I chose vim since I was already comfortable with it. But now I want to learn more about emacs shortcuts and keybindings. So I would like to get back to the emacs mode in spacemacs. How can I reconfigure my settings ?

Answer 1

If you just want to toggle between emacs and vim mode, you can just use CTRL z. It works in both modes.

Answer 2

in the configuration file, presumably ~/.spacemacs, alter the row

dotspacemacs-editing-style 'vim

to

dotspacemacs-editing-style 'emacs
