Maybe he can try ymacs -- an emacs like editor that runs in your browser. http://www.ymacs.org/ http://www.ymacs.org/ Quick link to demo: http://www.ymacs.or

  That's incredible. I've wanted something like that for a while now. Thanks for pointing it out. Are you aware of a vim oriented one anywhere? (I switch back and forth on which I prefer given the time of year / language of the hour)

  No ctrl or meta keys on the iPad keyboard might make that tricky. (ymacs is amazing, though)
  • angusgr 16y ago
    Of course, you can get an external keyboard for the iPad, and that comes with Ctrl and Meta keys. It's a fair point, though.

  ymacs is emacs in a browser. emacs-w3m is a browser inside emacs I just tried to run ymacs in a emacs-w3m, but it didn't work. that woulda been cool though, emacs in a browser running inside a browser which is inside emacs.

  Are you sure that this will work on an iPad? Just because it's available in the browser doesn't mean it can be used. Take Google docs as an example.

  Hmmm... An Emacs front-end to a cloud-based file-system. That could be the basis of a very, very nerdy startup ;-)
