Spacemacs is a configuration framework for GNU Emacs.[6] It can take advantage of all of GNU Emacs' features, including both graphical and command-line user interfaces, and being executable under X Window System and within a Unix shell terminal.[7] It is free and open-source software (FOSS) released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license.[3][4][5]
Spacemacs consists mainly of configuration files, pre-defined internal commands, and configurations for various plug-ins (called 'packages').[8][9][10] It features a novel mnemonic key binding design (e.g., commands for file manipulation often start with "f",) which attempts to improve ergonomics (and avoid emacs pinky), a system for adding or excluding pre-configured features called 'layers', and includes verbose software documentation. It has three user-selectable input modes: Emacs mode, Vim mode (based on the evil Emacs package for Vim emulation), and Hybrid mode.
Spacemacs has a light and dark theme that are the fifthe most downloaded emacs theme as of 2025 based on MELPA downloads.[11]
As of 2021[update], its repository on GitHub has been starred over 21,100 times and has over 11,300 commits.[12]
