For those on MacOS, I suggest this port of emacs : https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/ https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/ It's basically the same as the distribution from http://emacsformacosx.com http://emacsformacosx.com, but it supports various enhancements made for mac, eg. resize text size with trackpad, smooth buffer scrolling and SVG support, which is quite convenient when used with the jupyter notebook interface and producing plots. See for instance : http://imgur.com/gallery/vEI2z http://imgur.com/gallery/vEI2z.

For compatibility with various emacs add-ons and hooks (like org-capture), I find the one that comes with Homebrew to be the best.

  I've been using the Emacs that comes from homebrew with the spacemacs plugin (system? Total conversion?). Not a perfect integration when it comes to images but I stick to text and it's been great.

  Exactly. brew install emacs --with-imagemagick@6 --with-dbus --with-mailutils --with-gnutls --with-cocoa --with-ctags --with-librsvg --with-modules --devel

    Do people use dbus on macOS/OS X? How does Emacs integrate with it?
    - dangom 9y ago
      I don't know. Probably not. The reason I install with dbus support is to avoid having packages that rely on it not working, should a package ever rely on it (maybe mu4e notifications? idk). Take imagemagick, for example, you can still display images with Emacs without it, but you can't resize them.

I use this version too and have been very pleased with it. It's also available via Homebrew [1]. As an aside, I'm looking forward to better support for text scaling in future [2,3] as it's a feature that (if it was compatible with autocomplete and company-mode) fits my workflow better than zoom-frm.

Looks good but is there a prebuilt version to download? That is the main attraction to me of emacsformacosx
