I had high hopes for ErgoEmacs:

http://ergoemacs.org/

The original author is more than slightly mad but the tool is useful.
However, in its new incarnation as an "official" ELPA addon, I've
found it impossible to configure -- it requires more Emacs knowledge
than I possess. I have only managed to get the old standalone package
to work, and I am unable to communicate with the package maintainers.

Their instructions contain statements like "add this to your
(particular emacs config file)". When I say "I don't _have_ an Emacs
config file", they are unable to understand this -- _everyone_ has an
Emacs config file. Saying "I have the standard clean install of the
Ubuntu/Debian/Devuan/openSUSE Emacs and my config file is not there
and I don't know where to put it" baffles them.
