 ** EVIL
+When I want to make a substitution, I want it to be global more often than not
+--- so let's make that the default.
+
+Now, EVIL cares a fair bit about keeping compatibility with Vim's default
+behaviour. I don't. There are some particular settings that I'd rather be
+something else, so let's change them.
+
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp
+(after! evil
+  (setq evil-ex-substitute-global t     ; I like my s/../.. to by global by default
+        evil-move-cursor-back nil       ; Don't move the block cursor when toggling insert mode
+        evil-kill-on-visual-paste nil)) ; Don't put overwritten text in the kill ring
+#+end_src

 I don't use ~evil-escape-mode~, so I may as well turn it off, I've heard it
 contributes a typing delay. I'm not sure it's much, but it is an extra
 ~pre-command-hook~ that I don't benefit from, so...
-#+begin_src emacs-lisp
-(after! evil-escape (evil-escape-mode -1))
+It seems that there's a dedicated package for this, so instead of just disabling
+the mode on startup, let's prevent installation of the package.
+#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle packages.el
+(package! evil-escape :disable t)
 #+end_src
