Spacemacs is computer software, a text editor built on GNU Emacs.[5] Similar to Emacs, it features both graphical and command-line user interfaces, executable under X Window System and within a Unix shell terminal.[6] It is free and open-source software (FOSS) released under the GNU General Public License version 3.

The editor has syntax highlighting feature enabled for major programming languages, and is configurable manually via configuration files and by internal commands.[7] Spacemacs has a novel mnemonic key binding design aimed at impriving ergonomics, and includes verbose software documentation. It has three user-selectable input modes: Emacs mode, Vim mode, and Hybrid mode. It also supports user installed plug-in packages to allow extendability.[8][9]

As of 2018, its repository on GitHub has been starred over 16,000 times and has over 7,400 commits.[10]
