Has anyone ported Shai's remappings to Evil (Emacs)?

I really like Shai's Vim remappings, but they seem to interfere with the functionality of a lot of plugins. The Emacs plugin Evil seems to provide a relatively full-featured set of Vim bindings, and I'm going to start using it. Before I try to change all the bindings so they match Shai's, I thought I'd ask if anyone had already done this. If so, could you share your .el code?

I used to like Shai's Vim remappings a lot, but eventually came to the conclusions that a) they break stuff and b) one of the great assets of Vim is being everywhere and whenever I came to a machine with Vim but not those remappings I'd be a sad customer. It's like it's not quite Vim anymore...

Therefore I've decided to use Vim without (significant) remapping. Also, the Extend remappings in xkb take care of navigation and more.

Finally answering your question of sorts: Sorry, IDRKTABILTAA. :)

Dot files can easily be remote hosted. So I wouldn't be too shy about shoving all you vim goodness in some remote repo, and pulling them down when you need them, and shortly after, toss them away.

For me, I'm just worried that remapping would clobber other shortcuts. It can get quite messy.

To update this thread a little, there is colemak-evil (I suspect made by the OP - the dates match). There is also my radically different fork, though I'm not sure you could call those "Shai's mapping's" anymore.

Incidentally, Dreymar, I've just pushed/pulled your hints diagram to both.

Emacs has the advantage in that they don't actually use "normal mode", etc, aside from evil. As long as you stay away from the C- and M- shortcuts... I'm not particularly good at doing that, though.

Oh – nice! Keep in mind that golemak is on ice and probably will stay that way. So I don't think you actually need that link to it. ;)
